BURNER IS AHEAD
IN BOWLING STAKE
Gains 23-Pin Lead With 608
Set for Third Block.
Mandley Second.

Hap Burtner, captain of the Conven-
ton Hall bowling team-the, only man
of 20 entered in the Howard Campbell
sweepstakes to shoot over 900 in each
of the first two blocks--took the lead
in the big event last night at King Pin
No. /, by getting 608 to bring his total
to date to 1922. He replaced Brad
Mandley, who had bad session, but
not disastrous enough to drop him out
of the runner-up berth. Tony Santini
also was showed backward a notch, get
ting $40 to hold third place.
BURNER is the only one of the con-
testantS to pass the 1900 mark. Mand-
ley fell one pin shy of that mark with
1899, and Santini brought his total to
1,194.
High honors for the second block went
70 Paulie Harrison. the Curb Cafe star,
who bowled over 629 naples during the
five-game session. Jack Wolstenholme
shot himself into contending position
with GA set. With the exception of
Burtner, they were the only contestants
to go over the coveted mark.
Bernie Frye, the King Pin newcomer,
was credited with the highest game Of
the second block. He upset 1873 pins
in his fourth game Oliver Pacini start
ed with $50 game, and Harrison went
on rampage in the third and fourth
games, with 140 and $50 counts.
Pacini with LIZA, Harrison with
1,173, Jack Wolstenholme With Ito,
Rosenberg with 1,167 and Howard
Campbell with 1,160 are rated among
those likely to rush to the front next
Saturday night when the scene moves
to the Coliseum alleys for the final s.
game block.
