Pin Gossip
BY BERNARD HARMON


The washington League pro-
duced the best scoring of the new
season when the teams went
through their session at the Illinois
alleys last night. once again the
700 mark was threatened, and it
was really threatened this time, the
veteran John Blue missing it by one
lone pin.
Blue left the six pin standing in
the tenth frame of his nightcap
game, and emerged with 234, 207
and 258 for the seasons highest in
dividual total, 500. The screening
he gave the pins easily gained his
Underwood Transfer team three
time win over the Davis Fuel Com
pany.
Butch fired a 613 for Wooden
Shoe Beers and they took trio
from Johnnie Hines Indianapolis
Paint and Color team. The Beer
boys scored 1853 in their middle
game, the best single count posted
this year in the Washington
League. Berghoff Beers were click

game win from the Coca Colas.
Shaw, Daugherty and Hanna with
GOA, sos and 612 produced the punch
for the winners.
Kelley, with 600, led the Kings
Indiana Billiards to brace of wins
over the Schmidt insurance team.
Capitol Ice had Hall at 623 and
Rudebeck at COL to grab the odd
game from Wheelers' Lunch. In
the other series Hoosier officials took
couple from Newman Candy.
The pins were also taking a severe
Furnishing at the Fountain Square
when the Recreation League went
through its PAGES. Eleven 5000 were
scored, with Larry Fox 667 topping
the list. Freddie Schleimer was
hanging on to Fox closely and fin
ished with one stock less, 666. Fox
received a lot of help from his team
mates, when Ed Striebeck totaled
$50 and John Fehr pounded out his
third honor count of the week, a
613.
With this kind of firing the Cook
GoIdblume nosed out the Polar Ice
and Fuel team for a one-game edge.
The Polar boys hung up 1908 in
the middle game, while the Beer
boys had 1925. Red Mounts I'M
ally cut loose and blasted out 653,
Pug Seyfried had 500, and Bobbie
Wuench stopped at 500 for the
losers. Frank Fox, who got back in
to action last week, scored a GIT for
the Fox Jail House team, but his
support was weak and the Jail Birds
dropped two to the Weber Milk
team. Hank Shriver aided the MIX
boys greatly with $40 count.
Murphy's All Stars grabbed a
couple from Falls City Hi-Brus.

Din margin. Jack Hunt produced
the only 600 in this series, posting
a 607.
With Schleimer's 666, his second
straight big count in this league,
Joe Danna registered 649 and this
combination put Coca Colas over
for a clean sweep from the DIX
Gasolines. Lefty Behrens again
paced the DIX boys with 612 and
Adam Lang had 588, but this not
strong enough to stave of the
blasting of the Cokes.
