Star pin-smackers from all parts
Of the country continue to swoor
down on the American Bowling
Congress tournament, and tonight's
program, as usual, is to find many
outstanding quintets parading the
decks of the Coliseum alleys. Pres
ent champions, ex-champions and
others who have won fame in the
pin game are included in the line
ups of teams scheduled.
Last years top doubles combina-
ton, Harry SoLers and Clyde Sum-
merix are slated to see action on the
8:15 squad as members of the Fire
stone Bank of Akron, o. The rub
Der city boys totaled 1348 to take
the 1895 title and are hopeful of re-
tanning the championship when they
team together on tomorrows dou-
bles squad at 1890.
Fans attending tonight's session
will find pair of real scoring ag-
gregations performing at BIS. They
are Stroh's Bohemians of Detroit
and Crescent Macaroni and Crackers
OF Davenport, Ia.
The motor city five is without
doubt the most popular of the two,
having nabbed the five-man cham
pionship in the 1884 tournament.
Led by the popular Joe Norris, the
quintet is always high when the
pay-off arrives, and according to
reports, they have been smacking
the naples for huge totals during
the regular season. Leading off for
the ex-champs will be Wally Rep
penhagen, who gave the team its
second championship in 1884, when
he won the all-events title.
More Chicagoans Due
The Davenport lineup is to in
clude the name of Bill Orzol, one of
the top-notch kegelers of the West.
Bill usually totes an average we'll
over the 200 mark and it is said
that he is pounding the pocket with
regularity this season. Carl Meh-
senberg, the Scranton (Pa.) pas
timer, who rolled a 300 game in last
years meet, is carded to perform
on alleys 10 and 20 with Hotel
Casey, of his home town.
Many of Chicago's crack five
somes are to perform on the late
shift, and among them are included
ex-A. B. c. title winners and other
scoring aces. Kaadlands is to pre-
sent Wally Lundgren, winner of the
individual event of 1922; while Bud
weiser Beers have on their roster,
Ben Bernicchi, champion of sew
eral state and city events and Joe
Wilman, who is always among the
money bowlers" of the annual
A. B. c. affairs. AL Lunge, another
Windy City star, is in among the
five members of Kruse Morticians.
ThOnia Brothers Carded
Peoria, ILL.,, is to send its famed
Pabst Blue Ribbon fivesome, which
includes a pair of the famous
Thoma brothers, Fred and Harry.
The former, teaming with Hank
Marine, won the doubles champion
ship in 1916, while Harry and his
brother Clarence nabbed the 1884
title. Waldorf Layers of Cleveland,
one of the classiest outfits in the
East and United Cigar Store of La
Sale, ILL.,, a powerful scoring ma
chine. are also included on the 1915
schedule.
Although several highly rated
five-man aggregations banged at
the naples on last nights two
squads, the 3089 top total of the
local Falls City Hi-Brus easily with
stood the attack of the 81 teams in
action. None of the quintets could
penetrate the standings of the top
ten, Chicago's touted Pabst Blue
Ribbon team outscoring all aggrega-
