. Hubby, Wife ‘Make Up: for Speedway Tourney

EVEN IF a man and his wife have their differences throughout the year, there's always a happy truce among bowlers when Speedway Bowl's husband and wife tourney

rolls around.

Well, it's getting near the time again when Del England opens his doors to the two-day This year's sixth annual handicap event is scheduled for Sundays, Apr. § 20 and Apr, | 27. The first & place handi- | cap winners , are guaranteed $150. There will be one prize for every seven entries. The actual winners will receive $100. The entry fee is $5.00 per couple plus $3.00 bowling fees and tourney expenses. All entry fees will be returned through the prize list. Combined leagues averages will be figured as of Mar. 15. Ralph Gale is the tourney manager, while his wife, Martha, handles the secretarial

duties. Interested parties may call BE-0434 or pick up an entry blank at the Speedway Bowl.

Last year’s tourney attracted 175 entries with Mr. and Mrs. Ed Erler of Indianapolis winning first prize of $150. The tournament is open to out-of-city bowlers. In 1951, the field included couples from Muncie, Frankfort, Bloomfield and North Vernon.

Caplans’ Crew Surprises

ALL THE BIG scores aren't always found in Indianapolis’ major bowling leagues. That point was emphatically proven recently in the Real Silk Hosiery League which operates every Sunday at Iaria's Alleys. Caplan’s Novelty Shop aren't leading the league, In fact, they are now in eighth place on a 43-41 record. But last week the club skyrocketed to prominence. The Novelty five rolled a 2879 actual series. This is exceptionally good for a team which currently has a 750 average. That big series total and the singleton of 1115 are season highs in the Real Silk circuit this year. Here's the Novelty Shop's individual contributions on the 1115 game: Art Simpson, 234; Johnny Simpson, 233; Ralph Simpson, 224; Berle Camden, 213, and Ray Neitzel, 211. The Real Silk League closes a 30-week schedule in a fortnight and will wrap up season activities with a banquet on Apr, 12, Today's top series matches league-leading Cox’s Army with Wolfs, and Rodockers meets the J's.

Secretary Dinner, May 1

SHARPEN those knives and forks, boys. There's a big shindig coming your way. The Indianapolis Men's Bowling Association is going to have a din-ner-party in the Claypool Hotel. Don Young, chairman of the event, said the dinner will honor all male secretaries in leagues under IBA sanction. The new officers for the 195253 season will also be installed at that time. Entertainment and door prizes are also included in the program.

Council Meet Thursday THE INDIANAPOLIS Bowling Council will hold its regular monthly meeting at 5 p. m. Thursday in the Boulevard Room of the Marott Hotel.

A Smorgasbord dinner will precede the business agenda which features a review of previous recommendations and constitution text, Frances Cook, president of the council, will preside over the meeting.

New Tourneys Soon

MURIEL HAYES announced that the mixed doubles tournament scheduled at Pennsylvania Alleys has been postponed until Apr. 5-6. Johnny P:am, prophetor of Beam's three city houses, announced a women's doubles meet is also scheduled at Central Alleys for the first week-end April. Beam added at ‘another tri-house tourney has been set up for Apr. 12-13, Apr. 1920 at Pennsylvania. This events is open to all bowlers who compete in leagues at Illinois, Central and Pennsylvania Alleys. The meet will be divided into three divisions—men, women

. ten-pin

and mixed teams. Mrs. Hallie |

Striebeck will serve as secretary of the tourney, Forty per cent of the prize money will be awarded to the winner in each division.

WHO SAYS it doesn't pay to advertise? This scribe dropped a note in the column several months ago that Frank 8S.

McKeever, Californian, was returning to Los Angeles when he -mislaid | the articles in Chicago. He had visited Indianapolis. “But good fortune intervened.

ABC Has Class

INDIANAPOLIS bowlers competing this week-end in the ABC tourney at Milwaukee will | find an ultra-modern atmos- | phere. There are mural decorations of Wisconsin serving as a backdrop for the alleys. These Murals depict the Badger state as a mecca for vacations, dairy products and manufacturing. Each squad is furnished new wood, placed correctly by a semi-automatic pin-setter. There is an automatic lift on each | of the 40 alleys, bringing the | ball back from the pits to the return ramp. Running scores are kept for each alley on a large scoreboard, behind the stage, and high over the pits. Scoreboard operators keep frame-by-frame accounts of the pin action. Prior to their rolling, each

squad marches single file to |

their positions, headed by g&corekeepers for each alleys. Every operation in the tournament is marked by precision and accuracy.

WHEN SIENER INSURANCE team goes to the ABC meet on Apr. 27, they will be traveling with mighty fast company.

Siener, who as ABC representative of Indianapolis participated in opening night ceremonies, said he wasn’t too worried about his own squad's | bowling but was afraid the boys would spend too much time watching Strohs in action.
