tournaments.
This does not mean they will
forego future local duckpin events.
On contrary they will come here
more often, but they'll have blood

no little in the events.
Paul Lohr and Johnny Miller,

ner in the point Of service, is so
determined to cash in on Atlantic
Coast Doubles prizes that he has
procured the valuable services Of
"Red" Megaw, Washington's tai
ented and veteran bowler. These
old timers were top-notch duck
pinners when most Of the present
corps of pin-spillers were wearing
short breecheS and sucking lolly
pops. Both have seen more than
20 years of activity on the drives,
and they are still going strong.
