was AStor Clark. Tomorrow it
may be Johnny Anderson.
At least 10 bowlers still are very much
In the running, with Ed Blakeney OF
Baltimore riding first with total OF
1875. The concensus Of opinion, how
ever, has Paul Harrison, 81 sicks be-
hind Blakeney and third, as the favor
lite. But regardless of whether he wins,
places. shows or flops tomorrow, Johnny
Anderson will go down as the big sur
prise of the sweepstakes.
Anderson, competing in his first
Campbell stakes. rolled just about as
good two sets of duckpins as any other
in the field. His 622 and 654 leave him
only a pin behind Blakeney, but until
last Saturday few paid more than pass
ing attention to Anderson, and even to-
morrow he will go into the big-berry
scrap rather lightly regarded by most
fans.
Johnny's jerky, struggling delivery
hos him q hnct nf admire
among average pin followers, but Ander-
son is not a fans bowler. 1t takes an
other good bowlers to realize that Ander-
son has a devastating first ball and ac-
curacy on breaks that bellies his tight
ened motion.
DLAKENEY is a volcanic type of
- bowler, capable at times Of rising
almost to the phenomenal and
again lapsing almost to mediocrity. and
it is this failing that has dopesters eye
ing Paul Harrison. who really is riding
in nice spot. Paul will go into tomor-
rows block Just far enough behind to
do away with any feeling of nervousness
that generally besets the leader.
Bradley Mandley and Earl McPhilomy
also are in nice spots, being tied for
fourth place. one pin behind Harrison.
