serted the holdout contingent

tract was received by Business

money. hut quickly met the
clubs terms included In the
second contract.
Medeghini is itching to get

Hartman, shortstop.
They fired their original offers
back with demands for more coin

are more than the club is able to
pay under the Glass B salary
limit, the gap is not so great that
any difficulty is foreseen in sign
ing them long before the players
make the trek to Tacoma for
spring training about two months
hence.

Pin History

The All Heidelberg bowling
team. famous and feared N the
Northwest, will carry the banner
Of Joe Lanser's beverage into the
American Bowling Congress-
worlds championship tournament.
The Heidelbergs viii make the
long trip to Cleveland. Ohio. to
compete with 5000 teams for the
big prize Of all bowling-the cham
pionship of the A. B. c. tourna-
ment.
Captain Jimmy Radonich. him
self fine trundler. and a hustler
born, made the announcement to-
day.
The tournament starts
March 8. and will continue for
more than two months. The
Heidelbergs have requested
place on the calendar that will
bring them into action about
midApril, 50 that they NAV
stop at Spokane on the return
trip and roll their matches in
the Northwestern lnterna-
tional Bowling congress, the
North~est's most important
pin event.
II will be the second time that
the Heidelbergs have competed in
the big A. B. c. meet, and the
second time that an all-Tacoma
quintet has engaged in the tough
competition.
No team in recent pin history
has cut such a wide swath as the
Heidelbergs have done this season.
Headed in scoring by Ted Tadich,
mighty man of the alleys. the team
has been almost invincible.
GREAT TOTALS
Bowling in the Intercity league,
the quintet has, time after time,
rolled tremendous totals, and has
piled up a commanding lead in
the race in that fast circuit COM
posed of Seattle and Tacoma tour
nament teams
In Northwest tournaments,
the Heidelbergs have always
been fe.red. They have won
more than their share of first
place spots in these open
Journeys, and have usually
captured the top places in the
doubles and singles events,
rolled in conjunction with the
fiye-man play.
The team total in the Interclty
league is 1909 pins. That's an
armful of kindling in any mans
league. Ted Tsdich tops the quin-
tet with 207 pins. Doc Maczen,
having his best bowling year,
boasts a mark of 2o4. Captain
Radonich is toting a POI average.
Len Leftwich holds a 1879 mark
and John Artoe 1913. All members
of the team are in the Big Ten
of the Intercity league. which
means that they are among the 10
higest average bowlers of Seattle
and Tacoma.
Experience gained in other :.
B. c. tournaments is expected to
prove valuable TO the Tacoma men.
