Records and Takes Down $500 in
Money Besides Medals.
Banwell and Johns Team Won
Wayne County Championship at
Close of A. B. c. Tourney.

Tom Haley is the king OF the Do"F
ers for a year. at least. Just as the
national bowling tournament or 1917

team sprung the big surprise OF the
whole meeting by rolling 105 total III
his three games in the lnalNluuaI

l96l pins in his nine games in tEe
tournament, beating the all-event rec
ord Dy 81 pins and getting another
gold medal and first prize OF S2OO lot

medals and a suit of clothes and oox
of cigars which were thrown In as
added inducements.
This great feat by Haley caused the

other leagues for years and Is one OF
the most popular of the local PIN
knights. He has never entered in the

the time.
In his individual rolling. Haley had
but one miss, getting that IN the
fourth frame of his final game MS

second game. when he bowled the
high total Of 26S.
Joe Bauer and A Bamberg took
down sixth money in the doubles With
