done to steal the attention of the
gallery away from the other teams
who were displaying their new uni
forms) Besides showing off
their suits they gave the spectators
a real treat and lesson in timber
cracking by pounding out a collosal
1853 team total which was good
enough to displace the crack WHY'S
unit team from the top perch for
that division of the honor roll.
The recap of the evenings pro-
ceedings shows that the entire Auto
Lite team individually went over
the 500 mark which is the first
time this feat has been accom-
plished in our league and one of
the very few times it has been
accomplished in the country. The
boys put together games of 973
to warm up then followed up with
a hot 1887 middle game which also
is the new high single team game
for the season and good enough
to again displace the WHY'S unit
pinsters from the top of the honor
roll in that division.
Finally the team cooled off with
a possible 5000 team total staring
them in the face in the last frame
but fell short with their 1853 tall
game. However, no matter how
you look at it, the Auto Lites still
gathered enough wood to keep
their prize fires burning for long
time.
What may prove to be city
record will be found elsewhere on
this page. In massing their enor-
nous total, the quintet shot IL
games out Of a possible 8 which
were over the 300 mark and thus
took three games from the Mather
Spring boys who certainly make
a very neat appearance in their
natty uniforms.
Jake Powell inspired the Auto
Liters with his fine $50 total fol-
lowed by Joe Capt. Navarre's GAS
which included a beautiful 279
game. In his second game Joe
had seven strikes in a row, spared
in the eighth frame, then went all
the way for his 279, the high in
dividual single game of the eve
ming. Birdie Strauss followed suit
with his dandy 644 to be tailed by
Elmer Gwinner with SOC and Joe
Bates sos. Tch! Tch! and Sucker,
Claypool, Beggs, Duck and all the
rest were not there to approve
this.
The WHY'S Unit boys came in for
their share Of the evenings glory
by proving themselves consistently |
over the $500 mark, Their pin
spilling was more under pressure.
After dropping the first game to
the National Supply gang, Cap
Piojda showed his wares par ex
cellence in the second game, bring
ing his Willys club out of the willies
by cracking strikes out all the way
from the fifth frame and sneaking
up from behind and stealing the
game from the National Supply,
After such fine anchoring by Cap,
the WHY'S bangsters eased away
for win in the final game.
Capt Piojda put together games
Of 2l4, 257 and 1877 for very
fine 668 total and top individual
honors Of the league for the eve
ming.
National Supply Units captain,
Johnny Brug, besides trying to talk
the Willys fellows out of their
shots took time enough to show his
teammates how to cut down the
4-7-9 set-up. He mows EN- down
just like they do downtown.
Talking about splits, Leo Strauss
the leadoff man for the Willys
unit team. and one Of the most re-
spected bowlers in this community, ,
probably has more split practice
than any man in the league, but
you never see him blow up. This ,
makes Understandable what II
takes to make seasoned veteran.
Joe HAM Kurdys not only gave $
beautiful exhibition on score pad q
throwing, but also joined the fish Z
club just in time for the big din
ner next week. /
The Acklinunit which is the only |
team in the league left waiting
for their uniforms, is captained by {
the able Joe Kardos who delights
in cutting down the 70 split set-up !
without any effort. The Acklinites
are bidding their time till their
uniforms become a reality, and {
when they do, oh, boy! I
The local II Allstar league will
be one of the few completely uni ,
formed leagues in the city and {
without doubt the most colorful,
and why shouldn't they be. The best
talent in any field is included in
one or the other Of the shops in
