Getting back to Payne, 28-year-
old employe of an auto accessories
establishment, he rolled games of
l22, $50, 1913, 144 and 1l2 for set
of 651, which was high for the
finals so far from scratch.
With the bounteous handlcaps
given in the tournament, Payne S
gross 66l isn't likely to win but it is
recalled that two other PetWorth
bowlers copped top prizes with scores
that weren't sensational. In 1880,
before the event was put on handi-
cap basis, Tony De Fino triumphed
with 632 and Bess Ackman won with
344 (three games. Mrs. Ackman re-
peated the following year with 1856
to become the only participant of
either sex to win Star championships
two years straight.

Strike last night with 1864, a score
equaled at the same plant by Jim
Justice, president of the American
Federation of Government Employees,
who had 43 franked sticks.
