The Rossford American Vets
who boast an enviable record sc
far this season, were bewildered
by the fast attack of the Union
players. The Rossford High
S C hool floor is small and
hampered the fine teamwork OF
the All-Stars.
Harold Moss, All-Star guard
led the scoring with 10 points
besides thrilling the crowd with
his wonderful defensive play
Bob Altman, Jim Wilson, and
Chuck Aldrich each added eight
points to the total for Local IL
Again the entire squad of Local
IL players must be compliment
ed for their fine showing against
a highly publicized outfit.
Manager Harvey Robedeau
started the following lineup
against the powerful Rossford
Vets: Johnny Manore and Harold
Moss, guards; Delroy Taylor,
center, and Chuck Aldrich and
Bob Altman, forwards.
The Local II All-StarS are
still holding their own and pro-
tecting their reputation as a
point-a-minute team in four
games so far this season.

beginning of the season the
Honers came up with what
looked like a powerhouse team
But shortly afterward they were
hit hard when their top bowlers
were transferred to night work.
Hank StowayF managed to keep
the team together and now has
again a fine array of bowlers.
Although wins are not plentiful,
they really enjoy the sport.
Hank Laurich, recognized as
one of the city's top flight bowl
ers several years ago, has begun
to make a comeback. He rolls
in anchor position for DeVilbiss
Atomizers. This team ran into
hot Union Journal team and
as a result were chalked up with
three losses. The Journals have
moved from last to seventh posi-
ton in the standings -. Bingham
Stampers are hitting their old
stride again and won three
games from Gordon Bumpers :.
The way Ed Veres is knocking
'em, the Swartzbaugh crew has
spurted that team into a live
wire bunch. They won three
games from WHY'S Unit to take
over ninth place.
AS Cap Wekwert goes so do
the Standard Commutators. This
was proven again last Monday
night in the eight team league
at the Bowl-O-Drome for Cap
hit a fancy 632 to help his Com
mutatorS win two from the
tough Auto-Lite team. His team
is now in the thick of the race
with plenty of games to be roll
ed on the schedule. Cap bowls
in a couple of all-star leagues
doing well right among top
notch competition Leo Zie-
linski was all smiles Tuesday
morning and it required but one
guess for the reason of it. His
PAC team registered three vic
tories over Air Way to hold on
to first place. He was top man
for the team, too.
Vic Bieniek pleased Randy
Engelhardt by knocking enough

|AII-S+ors Win
Weekend Comes

The Local IL All-Star basket
ball team won two more games
over the weekend to run
their string of consecutive
victories to four as they de-
feated the New Departure team,
of Sandusky, by the score of 81
to "a, Saturday night, and then
took the measure of the Ross
ford American Vets, Sunday
afternoon, by the score of 43 to
"a.
The highly touted Sanduskians
were no match for the clever
passing o fthe All-Stars and the
Toledoans completely dominated
the game. The complete Local
II squad showed well both on
offense and defnese.

No+re Dame Has
EnviubIe Record {

Undefeated in 1916 and 1947,
the Fighting Irish of Notre
Dame will be protecting an 19
game string without a loss when
they open their 1948 schedule.
The 1947 team was the first
Notre Dame football squad to
compile an unbeaten, united
season since 1880, Knute Rock
mes last year at Notre Dame.
1t is the 18th undefeated team
which Notre Dame has had in
SO years of football; it is the
10th undefeated, united team in
Blue and Gold history. Notre
Danes all-time football re-
cord now reads 500 wins, n
losses, and 20 ties since the
game began at the South BepS,
school in 1887.

On The
Maple Lanes
: With Buddy Pdcholski :

- With Buddy Pdcholski -
lust to be on the safe side and
ID to get back in good graces
with the women bowlers in the
Friday league, the column will
begin with an apology to those
gals for failing to have their
scores posted during the past
two weeks.
For assurance to again being
greeted with a smile we bring
you some highlights about this
eight team loop which bowls at
the Mercury lanes out Stickney
Avenue on the $50 p. m. shift.
Last weeks schedule featured
the match between the Auto
Lite's and PAC who having been
fighting for the lead all season.
The Lite's had the better of 1t
winning two games as four of
the bowlerettes bettered the 400
mark. Sophie Wresinski was
tops for the team and league as
we'll with a 485. Pauline Proch,
she's the gal leading the city
women's honor roll last Tuesday
came through with a 473 and
Florence Dzienny had 439 and
Wanda Nowak 405. The PAC
didn't fare so bad with Elva
Anderson hitting 463, Henrietta
Raszka 438 and Irene Jankow-
ski 401. Incidentally to prove
their bowling prowess these
teams are tops in team average.
1t was a surprise to notice
that Martha Spain, rolling with
WHY'S No. /, connected for a
$50 and as far as we know it's
the first this season. With team
mate Vickie Prices 446 they
won two from DeVilbiss No. /.
Martha serves as league Secre-
tary so if we're wrong about that
score being the first this season,
look out. Charlotte Nowacki had
the second high total that eve
ming a ATS which helped the
WHY'S No. 2 team to three wins
over Lakeside DeVilbiss No
| won two from Standard Com
mutators.
Mel Hemming, a member of
the PAC team in the mems
Tuesday league at the Marathon
lanes, is hitting the pins at a
1913 clip for the last 21 games.
He posted a 621 this week which
was the best score in the loop
and enabled his team to win two
from Surface Combustion. Sur
faces Paul Mcclellan was out
to win and started off with a 213
to help chalk up the first game.
He finished the evenings per-
Torrance with a $50, not strong
enough to add the other two
games to the won column.
This weeks session in the IL
team circuit was a rough one
for the DeVilbiss Sprays who
found themselves in sixth place
a mere drop from the third spot.
The Toledo Steel Tubes did the
damage and by the two game
victory moved up to fourth place,
one game behind Willys UAW
The WHY'S team juggled
their line up and found out that
placing Leo Florkowski in the
anchor position is paying of in
games won. Captain Leo Zielin
ski took over the lead off spot
which netted them three wins
over the Hall HonerS. At the

pins down to help the Toledo
Pressed Steel to three games
over Toledo Steel Tubes. That
puts the Pressed Steel's as
strong contenders for the loop
lead. AS usual, Meilink came up
with a creditable 500 score, 572
to be exact, to lead his WHY'S
Body team. John has a tough
luck team and again they
dropped three games to Swartz-
baugh. Cheer up John, maybe
your team will shake the jinx
one of these days.

The Carter Barron-Gene Ford Co
ing Native Revue" the ninth one of
which will be staged at Loew's Capt.
tol Theater August 26, generally is
thought of as an amateur produc-
ton. The fact is that professionals
are quite as welcome, if not more
so, from the first addition to the
final performance of the lively re-
vue.
Basic requirement is one of resi-
dence, which is loosely defined as
the Washington area and has been
known to reach as far south as
Richmond.
Applications for the next Going
Native are now available in the
lobbies of the three Loew theaters,
Capitol, Palace and Columbia. Pro-
ducer Ford wants them filled out
by the dozens by singers, dancers,
musical instrumentalists, specially
performers, etc.
First additions are set for July
10.
Prospective performers who may
wonder what Going Native" sue
cess leads to are reminded again
that it is responsible for the pro-
fessional launching of such people
as Arthur Godfrey. Evalyn Tyner,
Helen Forrest, Johnny Barnes. etc.

The Shuberts who have to pro-
duce a Ziegfeld Follies every few
years or lose the title under the
terms of the Ziegfeld will, are sim
gularly unlucky in finding the
name performer they feel capable
of carrying the production. Run
ming close to the dead-line now,
they are working on the problem
with a new fervor.
b 1t was the ShubertS feeling for a
brief while last season that every
thing was safe, that Bert Lahr
would take over. Word even got
out that Lahr was all signed on
the dotted line, but it turned out
that this was not the case, that he
was committed to road session in
''Burlesque."
Next among the ideas that ap-
pealed to the producers was that
Gertrude Lawrence would make a
