Way to Land Bowling Meet

McGinley Ready To Gamble but

Wants Facts First " By HAROLD HARTLEY Businesses catering to visitors 1had their fingers crossed today. ‘If their luck goes well Indianapolis still will land the $3 millon "American Bowling Congress next year. The question still to be answered is where to hold it. The Indiahapolis Convention and Visitors: Bureau put the 80° day master tournament in the bag last year when they sajd the Fair Board officials agreed ver. bally to the use of the Coliseum. + This week the verbal deal fell ‘like ‘a house of cards, Stumbling -: blocks were rental fees and dates, In the picture is W. IL. MeGinley of Dallas, Tex., who yesterday huddled with the Foster Engineering Co. over the probable odds of winning or losing on a $750.000 investment in a building to house the ARC. Mr. McGinley owns the Parkmoor restaurant across’ from “the Fairgrounds, and 113% adres between his restaurant and the Monon tracks. He had had a long time dream, some of it on paper, for ths de.valopment of the tract. Original : Plans called for a theater, a suTparmarket, an auts agency, and vast hard-surfaced parking space to catch the Fairgroiind- over: flow crowds. v Mr. McGinley, In true Texas style. was ready to take the gamble if he could he shown where the venture would pay off. : He's a rancher who likes fine { restaurants, such as the Parkmoor, and has several of them . Scattered over the country, prin-| * cipally in Bt. Louis. Visits String Out . Joseph J. Cripe, manager of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, estimates that the ABC, .last held here in- 1936, would bring 75,000 people to town. ; “The beauty of it,” he explained, | : ig that they do not come at once, In Detroit last year, the ABC brought about 1000 into the hotels, It makes a good steady “business. | We don't want to losé «it. But the sure-footed Convention Bureau already was hedging against ths loss of the ABC. Conventions = which had been turned down on the strength of the tournament bogking were being resolicited with the offer of hotel’ space. Some 20 to 25 §roum are interested, Mr. Crips,
