Kiefer, son of a former German

The dethroned champion virtu-

Pin Gossip
BY BERNARD HARMON

Just when it looked as if Indian
apolis bowlers were observing INC
700 week." Clarence Baker of the
Prest-O-Lite League cut loose at the
Central Alleys and scattered the
sticks to the tune of a 7O3, thereby
becoming the weeks best bowler.
Down at the Fountain Square, the
same boys who climaxed last weeks
big scoring sessions with some poor
exhibitions reversed matters last
night when they compiled a floor
average that was just fraction
short of 983.
Baker stole the show when he
knitted games of 213, 234 and 256
to reach his initial 700 of the sea-
son. Baker was far out in front
of all other individuals of the Prest-
O-Lite loop, no others touching 600
during the evenings play. The
Maintenance and Engineer teams
won three games each from the
Generators and Assembly, while the
Office took two from the Machine
Shop.
Don McNew neared the TOO mark
during the Fountain Square session
games of oil, 2O3 and 276 netting
him 800. His scoring spree
occurred during the Coca Cola
Weber Milk series, which was one of
the outstanding battles of the sea-
son in the South Side loop. The
Milk boys slipped over a victory in
the opener by single pin margin,
and, after dropping the centerpiece
whacked out 1893 to win the. edge
The CokeS, in winning their lone
game, uncorked a 1897 count that
boosted them to a 3O66 total for the
three games. The Weberites, aided
by their garrison finish, reached a
1904 series total. Dick Nordholt
with 632, and Roy Haislup,. with
GA, joined McNew in making it a
big night for the winners, while Ed
Stevenson, at SIT; Phil Bisesi, with
SIS, and Joe Danna, with GOT, kept
the losers in the running.
Cooks Goldblume, through the
aid of Larry Fox's GIL, Jess Pritch-
ett's 668 and Ed Striebeck'S 653,
topped the team scoring when they
reached BOTS on games of 1074, 924
and 1877. They made a clean sweep
of their series with the Indianapolis
Towel Supply team, which had Arch
Heiss with 602 as its lone honor
shooter.
The Falls City Hi-Brus took a
triple lacing from Polar Ice & Fuels
which also topped 5000 when it
belted the naples for games of 1041,
1897 and 915. Thad Tedrowe, with
$40, Pug Seyfried with $40 and Red
Mounts with GIG, were responsible
for the Polar's brilliant showing.
Bug Argus with a GAL, paced the
Brus, who showed best in their
middle game when they hit 1904.
With Paul Stemm at $50 and
Louie Moehler at GLIB, the DIX Gas
team took two wins over the Fox
Jail House. Frank Fox, with 632,
and Bert Bruder, with GIG, were
the outstanding scorers of the
losers.

FISHING MEET
IN VIRGINIA
PLANNED

OLD POINT COMFORT
BEACH, Va, Aug. 30.-Virginia' S
greatest sporting event in many
years, the first national open sat.
water fishing tournament, prom.
ises to set a precedent for angling
throughout the nation.
Sponsored by the Peninsula AS
sociation of Commerce and with
the active support of the Virginia
State Chamber of Commerce,
plans are rapidly nearing compile
tion for this event. C. M. Mark.
chairman of the Peninsula Asso-
citation of Commerce, has estab-
lished headquarters at the New
Chamberlin Hotel and is working
out the details.
Board of Judges
The four weeks from September
Is until october 19 have been Sc.
lected as the most opportune, since
the best fishing of the year results
at that season. The unlimited pos.
sibilities of hauling in the "big
fellows" which run then are GER
tain to attract several thousand
disciples of Isaak Walton to the
Peninsula area.
According to preliminary plans,
1t is expected that a general COM
mittee will direct all the activities,
create a board of judges and de-
termine the rules of the tourna-
ment. There will be more than a
score of prizes, subdivided to
cover the awards for largest
catches in the different species of
fish that abound in these waters.
Gulf Stream Trips
Proof of the keen interest al
ready evidenced in the program
is contained in the announcement
from Montauk Point, l.. l., that
fleet of fishing craft will leave
there within the next two weeks
bringing scores of anglers from
the Long Island waters for a try
at the bluefish, bonita and other
gamey species that have been
tempting fishermen all summer in
the Chesapeake Bay fishing
grounds.
Perhaps the most interesting of
the events being arranged will be
the Gulf Stream expeditions some
30 miles off the Virginia coast,
