Tourn ament|

Last of Singles and Doubles Events to Be Run Off This Week-End.

Finals of the minor events in the city bowling tourney get under way y as the last of singles and doubles teams smash the pins in an

effort to overcome the early high|;

marks set up at the Indiana Alleys. Meanwhile 16 teams representing the Indianapolis Union Printing Crafts League were in Columbus, O., for the 24th annual Tri-State Bowlngress sponsored by Union Printing Crafts. . In addition to five-man teams this city has 33 two-man crews and 66 individuals in the solo events. The event extends through tomorYow and winds u onday. As tournament bowlers here pick up: where they left off last. week, chances for higher marks than those set, up by leaders are not any too

promising. Ray Roberson and Phil Bisesi set a new city tournament record last week in taking .the doubles lead. Hairy Hohlt is out in front for gross singles scoring with 754 and Fonnie Snyder hit for top net honors in solo activity with 724.

Danna, Couit Tops Joe Danna Sr. and Lucy Court

~ were topnotch in Indianapolis bowl-

ing today as a result of their brilliant shooting last night. Danna knocked out a 672 in the Washington League at the Illinois Alleys, and Court paced the women

. with a 623 in the Kernel loop at the

Pritchett drives. Danna opened ‘With 193 and then rose to 234 and 245 in his last two games. Court started out like a whirlwind and knocked over 256 in her first game but faded to 212 in her second game and fiinished with a weak 155. Harold Horn took next best in men’s competition with 667 in the Construction loop at Pritchett’s. He

“started out with 214, hoosted it one

pin in his second and anchored his series with 238. Several points down the list was Bill Tarrant, also of® the Construction gang who Slapped down 656

2893 Team High .

Several fine team scores were made last night, notably Gray-Grib-ben-Gray’s 2893 in the Washington loop at the Illinois drives. Their opponent, McCarty Furniture, pounded out 2888, on games of 911, 956 and 1021. The winners were consistently better than their opposi-

pins.
