A score of indianapolis tenpln
snipers staged their Easter Parade
on the bowling alleys of the Jensen
Bros. in Terre Haute yesterday,
where the 26th annual state tour
nament is in progress. Figures at
the end of the days activities
showed that the Eastern bunny had
been kind to many of them.
Lou Daugherty and Dan Abbott
cracked the biggest egg of the day
when they slid 1910 naples off the
alleys to assume the top position in
the doubles event standing. Daugh-
erty led the pair on a 652, while
Abbott contributed 618 as his
share. Another local pair, Johnny
Murphy and Arch Heiss, wound up
in second place, Murphy proving the
sensation of this duo when he
cracked out a 682 series. Their total
was 1899.
Roe Posts 900" Game
A few notches down. another
pair of Indianapolis teams were
knotted for sixth and seventh posi-
tons. Leo Ahearn combed the al
! leyS for a 800 total while teaming
with Walt Hickman, but with Heck
man pulling up lame with a 507, the
pair failed to do better than tie the
team of Kroner and Sexton, which
had 1877. Percy Henry and John
NaughtOn, who rolled into fourth
place one week previous, were
( showed into ninth over the week
end.
The biggest sensation of the day
was the perfect 300-game rolled by
Jess Roe while teaming with Dad
Hanna in the two-man event. Roe
/ opened feebly with game,
and appeared to be Just another
bowler" but it was not long before
he had the large gallery on its
feet as he linked strike after strike.
until he had produced the necessary
II strikes and his 300-game. He
/ closed with 1872 for a 623 total. 1t
was the first 300 game registered in
a State Tournament. Roe. who is
a member of the Delaware Recrea-
ton and Rough Notes Leagues, will
( receive the usual awards that ac-
company perfect scores.
Robertson Is Third
Ray Robertson pelted the pins for
j games of 208, 268 and 1872 to take
third place in the singles division.
Two other Indianapolis keglers
placed among the leading ten, Walt
Hickman holding eighth on a 626,
and Dan Hanna tenth on a 621. In
the all-events standings Ahearn tied
for second with 1843, Daugherty is
fourth on 1910, Bill Brunot sixth
with 1903, and Robertson eighth on
1867.
In the team events L. S. Ayres
/ topped all local counts with a 2778
that placed them in sixth place,
while the H. G. Ents Materials were
three pins behind in seventh place.
Bud Argus was top shooter for the
/ AyreS aggregation with 604. while
Bill Tarrant, with COG, paced the Ent
+ five.
Other indianapolis entrants will
compete on May 4 and 5, the clos
ing days of the annual event.
