Harry Nelson's recent feat in the
Agricultural Doubles League of count
ing SO on six consecutive marks was
nothing to get excited over compared
with record made by Joe Toomey.
Toomey knocked down So pins with
six balls. Nelson used nine. The Aggie
made four spares and two strikes.
Toomey made i've strike; and an eight.
1t happened in . District League
match between the Terminal Ice Co.
and King Pin teams six years ago,
just about decided the pennant race
in favor Of Terminal Ice. The King
Pin team was the last dificult hurdle

them over.
In the ninth box of tight game he
got started with a strike. He struck
in the tenth. He struck with the first

the second. The next game he opened
with q double-header. Never before
nor since was Toomey's much-talked-
about smoke ball more effective. 1t
was demoralizing to the King Pin
forces and q spur to the Icemen.
That was a great season for Toomey.
But for too late a start he would have
hung up an all-time. record for aver
age in the District League. He was
one game short Of the 81 needed to
qualify for the title. He finished with
lib, a figure at that time regarded as
remarkable.
Toomey was a discovery" of John
Blick, in way. It was Blick who gave
him his first real chance in bigtime
competition. Had Blick been one game
earlier placing Toomey in his lineup
the speed-ball WOW would have been
better known than now. It is no mean
distinction in the duckpin world to have
the tag: Former record holder of the
District League" Later on George
Friend became quite famous through a
District League full-seaSon record that
was one point shy Of Toomeys 53-game
mark.
