FolIs to 637 Series;
679 Gives Third

COLUMBUS, o., March 10
R)-A 21-year-old freshman in
the American Bowling Congress
tournament gave the veterans
something to talk about-and
shoot at-today.
John Dimare, a railroad
blacksmith from. Ashtabula, O.,
started his singles yesterday
with a split and then pitched
nine straight strikes for a total
of PIT, tying the high game of
the 1912 tourney. His three game
total for the event was 637.
Meanwhile, John DiFloria, a
23-year-old truck driver of Buff
falo, N. Y, took over third place
in the singles with $40. Vincent
Cries of Paterson, N. j., leads
with 800.
In the doubles James Marsahll
and Howard Vaugherot of De-
troit hit 1918 with $50 in the
middle to move into second
place.
The five-man event is still
topped by the 2790 of the Sim

in the first two rounds-result-
ed from teamwork.
Fighting it out for the jack
pot were the players whose eff
forts dove-tailed with those of
their partners-so that when one
faltered, the other came through.
The semi-finalist team of
Chandler Harper and Herman
Keiser was an example. They
could not match yesterday the
individual brilliance of Picard
and Nelson, yet they took turns
winning just enough holes to
triumph, one-up.
Their opponents today were
the 1941 winners-Ben Hogan
and Gene Sarazen, who scored,
3 and 2, over Herman Barron
and Tony Penna.
In the other match Jack
Grout and Ben Loving were
paired against Jimmy Hines and
Willie Goggin. Grout and Low
ing won on the 37th hole over
Ky Laffoon and Johnny Re-
volta, while Hines and Goggin
defeated E. j. Dutch Harri-
son and DENNY Shute, one-up.

Right now tie for the 1912 top is not impos-
sible. Should the Rangers win of their two
remaining games and tie the other and the Leafs
capture all three of their final contests the clubs
would have identical records on points, games
won games lost and the fourth step-the num-
Der of goals scored-would be needed to decide.
League officials had to go that far back to
break a first place deadlock in 1888 when Boston

Revenge Keys

RoyoI Oaks z Wins
Come at Chority Line

Sweet revenge is the oppor-
tunity offered the Bathers in the
coming district Glass A tourna-
ment, and if the locals get even
a few breaks, they appear due
to gain their goal.
Royal Oak is the proposed
victim and if the Royal Oak
Ferndale game tomorrow fol-
lows the form sheet, the City
High crew will get its third
crack at the Acorns on Friday.
Twice the two teams have met
this season, and on each occa-
sion Coach John Baldwin's crew
nosed out the locals by heart
breaking, two-point margin.
FREE THROWS VITAL
In the first game, played here,
Royal Oak notched $3.50 win
and in the second 31-29 vic
tory. In both games, the decid-
ing factor was free throws, both
teams tossing in the same num-
Der of field goals.
Only big Ralph Siewert has
been able to connect regularly
from the charity line, and the
Bathers are due for additional
practise this week on free
throws. Should the Bathers slip
by Royal Oak, they are expected
to get a chance at Port Huron
top-notch crew on Saturday in
what would be a rubber game.
In two meetings this season
both Port Huron and the Bath

The well-grooved style of the
city basketball league, which
virtually sets the results of
games before they're played,
proved accurate again last night,
as two teams were left in the
battle for the fourth playoff po-
sition.
Paganetti Lum Der, Super
Cleaners and the Business Men
have already tied up three play
off spots and the fourth, accord
ing to last nights results, will be
determined between the Mer-
chants and Gray's. The Mer-
chant, as expected, lost to the
Cleaners, 17-6, last night while
Gray's was posting a predicted
victory over the Mount Clemens
A. c., 2420.

Failing to appear, the Brown
Bombers forfeited to the Paga-
netti Lumber five, hereby los
ing all chance at a Llayoff posi-
ton.
Gray's win pulle them up
into a tie with the Merchants
and Fridays games will decide
the finalist. Since the Merchants
meet the Bombers while Gray's
must tangle with the tough Bust
ness Men, the Merchants are fav-
ored for the fourth position.
First game of the evening at
Mount Clemens high gym saw
the Business Men notching So
II victory over the Tigers, paced
by Lloyd Hockin, who collected
IL points. Bernard Shields six
points stopped the losers.
Low SCORING
With forWard Don Rogers

Cleaners annexed 17-6 win
over the Merchants in a low
scoring game which saw the
Merchants getting only two
points in the last half. Bob PIE
CUES dropped in a majority
four-of the losers total.
Making a valiant effort to
score at least one win in the
league season, the Mount Glenn

high scoring total with ID points,
but nevertheless lost out to
Gray's $500. Unable to hold
Hale Shanklin down, the NC.
