day stood at the top of the five
man standings of the annual Amer
lean Bowling Congress tournament:
The most devastating attack dealt
the elusive naples during the tour
ney's II days of operation resulted
from the speeding spheroids de-
hvered by the Windy City aggrega-
ton as the 1890 shift went through
its PAGES last night.
Led by Gaines 655, the quintet
tossed games Of 979, 1923 and CAT
for total of 1854, which was ten
pins better than the winning team
total of the 1885 event at Syracuse.
The middle game was the second
best single effort in the annual
classics history, but it failed by
FAR to surpass the 1885 record game
posted by the first-place Milwaukee
Tea Shops at the 1927 Peoria meet.
Totals of other members of the new
leaders were: Hymes, 637; Lyons
GIT, Vanderpohl, SOB, and Stack, $50.

final shift, nabbed fourth place.
When they connected for games of
BOT, 1000 and 962 for a 1869 total.
Reczek's $50 was the teams top solo
count. A trio of quintets appearing
on the $3.50 shift connected for totals
that landed among the top 10 in the
standings. Cheney Trombley Recre-
alton, touted Detroit fivesome.
pounded the sticks to the tune of
1853 to land in fifth position in the
hVe-man event. Pure Oil of Ports

annapolis, found the team No. 3
capturing honors with a $500 series.
Yesterdays daylight program in
cluded two shifts in minor event
competition, the bulk of the en-
trants being made up OF local en-
tries. The duo of Pitts and John
son with an 1106 was the top COM
blnation of the l o'clock doubles
squad, while Russ Arbaugh with
counts of 232, 1871 and 246 totaled
$50 to outshine all rivals in action
on the LAS squad of individuals.

the two-man teams on the 2:3O
shift while Al Holman's $50 was the
top series of the 3:15 singles en-
trants.

over the weekend, scoring is ex-
pected to sky-rocket to new heights.

shakeup IN the standings in all di-
visions may result as the result of
the invading pinmen's visits.

be concluded with the completion
of the 5:45 squad this afternoon.
Tonights 8:15 squad will find IA
New York Central Railroad teams
from Albany, N. Y. monopolizing the
drives. Some of the classiest pin
ment in the East are included in
the railroaders lineups and they are
apt to send some of the present
leaders down the ladder. The Chrys-
Ter Motors, scheduled on the 1915
squad, Is one of DetroitS touted
fivesomes and they will also bear
watching AS they open their attack
on the tourney naples.
