Rivalry among the high average
bowlers Of the City pin league Ia
keen as the trundlers seek 10 fin
ish the season as high among the
select stars as they possibly can.
Mike Berry, the top man of all
Tacoma bowling this year. appears
headed for that honor when the
curtain falls on City league activi-
" nine weeks hence. Mike, with
an average of 1919 for SO games,
has a lead Of 459 pins over his
nearest rival, John Radonich, and
has been closing in on the 200
average mark for the past few
weeks.
Johnny Radonich. Berry's team
mate on the Dairy team, IL IN a
less secure position than the No.
/ star. for his 1872 average is being
closely pressed by Bill Leftwich
and Jimmy Radonich, both of
whom have been shooting high IN
every recent series.
Still farther down the list Scot
ty Murdoch, with a average Of
1ss, finds c. c. Collins with the
same average and with only a few
total pins behind. Fat Person Is
coming along with a mark of 1877,
with Sam Coles, John Pasnick,
Smoky Joe and Fred Wahlers all
pounding along where one big
series will enable them to climb
above anyone who falters for even
one session.
The league race has become a
battle on the part of nine teams
to take the measure of the Dairy
men, who after winning the first
half championship, are now lead
ing the second semester chase by
a five-point margin. The Dairy
men did their cause a lot of good
last week when they hung four
point defeat on the dangerous
Packers.
The highlight Of the past weeks
bowling was the fine series turned
in by Spence Irby, of the Clothier
team, whose 662 series came as
the result of 234, 1e6 and 232
singles. The big score raised

High single game tteam)-
Dairymen iii.
High three games (team)-Bot-
tiers 1902.
In as fine an exhibition Of m
dividual and team bowling as has
been seen IN Tacoma for many
a day, the Tacoma All Stars, a
team organized from the top five
trundlers of the City league. de-
feated the powerful Fort Lewis
Warriors on the Broadway alleys
Saturday night, 3056 TO 2S10.
The Tacoma team was recog-
ognized as one of the strongest
that could be recruited from the
ranks of local trundlers and in
cluded Mike Berry, whose City
league average is 1879: John Rad
onich, 1872: Bill Leftwich 1911: Jim
my Radonich 100 and scotty Muir
dock 1ss.
The Tacomans started working
on the 1-3 pocket in the very first
frame of the opening game and
when the game was concluded had
rolled a big 1895 total while the
Warriors had amassed a mark of
961 pins. The All Stars dropped
10 $50 in their second game but
the third contest proved to be the
masterpiece of the evening and
ended in a score of 1910 for the
locals.
Jimmy Radonich, sometimes
called the Bard of Old Town and
the mayor of that section because
he is somewhat of an old timer
there, gave the fans who had will
ingly paid their way into the
match to help raise money for the
Tacoma War Council Athletic fund
thrill after thrill. especially in the
third game. Jim opened that
game with a spare. then for eight
straight frames laid the ball in
the same spot for perfect strikes
There was never any doubt about
any Of those strikes. The pins
just had to go.
Jimmy finished that game with
267 and drew long and well
earned round of applause from the
gallery which had filled every seat
and had overlooked into section
of chairs provided on the runways
adjacent to the alleys on which the
match was staged.
Jim's total was 674. high of the
match and only some tough luck
in the second game in which he
rolled 161, kept him from reaching
the 700 mark.
Not all the honor went to Jimmy
Radonich. however, for the entire
Tacoma team kept pace behind
him. with Bill Leftwich coming in
with CPS and John Radonich trund-
ling Gil for other scores.
The defeat marked the first time

CLARKSBURG, W. Na.-when
John (Brooms) Abramovic of
nearby Salem College hit the en-
broidery for his eighth point
against Fairmont State Teachers
college in Carmichael auditorium
here the other night, he brought
his four-year basketball scoring
total to 1912, a new intercolle-
giate record, one more than the
aggregate of Kenny Griffith of
Alderson-Broaddus college, an
other West Virginia school.
That was after five minutes
of play. When the game was
finished, and Salem's Tigers
were victorious, $3.50, BroOms
had scored 81 of his teams
total, bringing his careers
endeav0r 10 1871, and looked
ahead TO seven more games n
which he hopes 10 hit 1000
before he reports for active
duty In the Navy.
There were 1900 fans IN the
auditorium that night, most of
whom came to see Brooms break
the mark, and they stopped the
game for five minutes while he
took his deserved bows.
OPPONENTS GOOD ENOUGH
Thus ceased all arguments in
the United States on the high
scoring controversy. No longer
will observers argue whether Crit
fiths, Stanford Hank Luisetti's,
or Rhode Island Stutz Modzelew-
skis earnings are the highest.
This has always been a moot
point.
Although Salem and Abramovic
will probably never see Madison
Square Garden as competitors, and
some may still argue that Brooms
hasn't played against teams of
testing caliber, he is the national
intercollegiate scoring leader from
all angles.
Against Rio Grande of Ohio. the
big Creation boy from Etna, Pa,
unloaded 81, erssing Luisetti's
single-game mark.
He plays IN ms own league,
with teammates and opponents Of
saual cloth and with equal oppor-
tunities, and ne rs the TOP per-
former.
Brooms got 3se as a freshman,
365 as q sophomore, TIT last sea
son as a junior. and where he'll
go from here nobody knows.
SCOREKEEPERS BUSY

the ghosts of gone scorekeepers.
