{ Cleveland, hio. The
Nest 62 bowlers and the Nest
IS Deuces each racked up
three wins September 10Th,
the Nest 81 team doing it at
the expense of the Nest 55
Treys as their clean sweep
moved them into first place.
The Deuces bested the Aces
as they posted 62S-1S22 new
team highs.
Pete Stanich gave an ex-
ceptional account of himself
stretching a one game high
of 1S9 into 5O7 the best triple
yet among the boys. Arlene
Skorich with 365 and Judy
Bilicic with 1877 took the ses-
sional honors among the girls.
Other highs went to the
following, Theodore Nekic,
1876; Roger Kostika, 156-436 ;
Nick Stanic, 379; Charlene
Strahinic, $40; Joann Strahi-
mic, 341; and Francine Lon
gar, 335. All of which we
think is good bowling emanat-
ing from the Cleveland Jun

St. Louis, Mo. - The Kla-

three games to the Ivancich-

Canton Circuit

Canton, Ohio - The lead
ership in the Lodge 514 Lea
que went unsettled at the
September 18th session as the
Jacob Waltners and the Aces
divided the spoils evenly. l'
The Cockrills, Betty, 1852,
and Harold, 1873, helped the
Aces take the first game and
stay fairly close to the j and
WIS to take them 2135 to
2131 over three games.
Nick Cozocar, 1852, was
perhaps the only luminary as
the T and A squad fell before
the Mack Tavernites where
R. Feolich, 186-559, and j.
Comsia, 190-526, whipped up
a formidable array of figures
good enough for the male
seasonal highs.
The last place No. 5 team
were able to grab only the
first game in their match
with the Lodge 514 represen-
tatives. Admittedly the last
game eluding them by thir-
teen pins. Doing the cannon
aiding for the losers was M.
Drozda, 164-463, while Mike
Zuzich, 172-480, did the hon
ors for the Lodgennen.
We have not said too much
about the fair sex scores but
some as Harriet Bozurich,
142-363; Flo Comsia, $50;
Millie Jacksich, 142-359; and
Dot Browns 337 played an in
tegral part in their teams to-
tai figures.

Pittsburgh, Pa. - T h e
American Rubberband Duck
pin Bowling Congress has
just released it's listing of the
ranking men and women top
rubber band duckpin bowlers
of the 1953-54 season.
The top man is Anthony
Birsa of Pittsburgh with an
average of 1887 for 256
games. In position No. 8 a
mong the leading ten male
keglers is Paul Prevish who
shows an average of 1881
over 25O games. Paul Pre-
wish is a member of Lodge
720 Alcros of Aliquippa, Pa.
Needless to say that we are
glad to have a CF'U member
place that high.
There may be others in the
list of names which is 80 deep
both among the men and the
women duxers. The female
C.F.U. members being some
what more difficult to deci-
pher when she marries. How
ever, we would gladly make
the apology here if it is call
ed to our attention that we
have failed giving the same
credit to one of our fair sex
bowlers. The same goes for a
CFU male among the rank
ing 80 names let out recently
by the ARBDA.

the first 600 series in the Gle

noon, September 19, he blast
ed 619 on games of 253, $50
and 1S9. Braidic's 253 game
is also high for the year in
this loop and his latest
splurge boosted his season av-

Other big scores on the
local C.F.U. bowling front
were Nick kvaternik's 21O-
585, Steve kasunic's 1854,

The only sad note in the
local mems bowling front is
the lack of enthusiasm among
the Cleveland bowlers and
Lodges after a welcomed at
tendance at the opening lea
que meeting over a month
ago.
We do realize that with all
the excitement at the mo-
ment in Cleveland, such as
the Cleveland Indians winning
the American League pennant
and the World Series at our
disposal along with much in
terest diverted to the Cleve-
land Browns, one does not
care hoot for bowling. Not
for the time being, anyway.

whatsoever. So, our Cleveland

in four games over two years,
the second half of the double
header was a runaway for
the local hosts. Their win
came to the tune of eight hits,
one a homerun by Len Nepsie,
The only Gloversville hit in
the second game was a two

Highlights of this sports

prize ham dinner, and the
high caliber of umpiring by
Zinkow, Pavlak and Stefic.
The shoe string catch by Ro-
pan, the Gloversville left
fielder, of a line drive by Kor-
dich has them still talking.
The post game fun was a

From The Department Of Sports And Education
BY Frank Braidic, Director

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Sports
articles command, each week
a fair share Of the Zajedni-
car. Furthermore they are
often supplemented with pic
lures. In addition to all this
they get the back page of the
official organ which is not
the least conspicuous by any
means.
Realizing that a bowling
league secretary does the yeo-
mems share much as does his
counterpart the lodge secre-
tary in his field, we sought
in the past two years. to ease
his work by cutting down
what we at the Department
expect in covering the lea.
gue's activities for the Zajed-
nicar.
We have always contended
that the individual member
like the individual bowler gets
more attention in the Society
than he will in any other or
ganization or in any other
| publication. Which leads us
to say that members them
selves are given the opportu-
nifty to write articles or give
tvent to their opinion provid-
ing of course that it is not
derogatory to the organiza.

Detroit, Mich. - The last

ton in the Detroit Ladies
League by the tussle they
gave the first place Sparks
at the September 10th gather
ing. The Treys lost 2-1 but
not without struggle, eight
pins being the margin in the
final game.
The Thirsty Five climbed
within a game of the runner
up Five Stars by edging them
2-1, it taking a new team high
of 731 to salvage at least that
game for the upper strata
Five Stars. incidentally this
match produced 2O74 and
2043, the winners and losers
in that order setting up new
team highs.
The margin of victory see

mere two pins. AS might be
expected in such a fury, the
scores of the individuals were
not to be scoffed at. Jean

GIoversVille, n. Y. - The
Lodge 3O5 "Croatians' soft

at Cemcnton, breaking even
in TIE doublehcader which re-
suits coupled with that of a

At this time we wish to eX-

served in no small measure.
We think, too, that our tam

It was a wonderful trip for
Gloversville, meeting some of
the old timers who look for

-Aliquippa, Pa. - The Deu-
ces moved into first place in
the Alcros Bowling League by
dumping the Quads twice but
not without the latter posting
a new one game high Of GIL
in the game which they won.
The Treys took the first
two from the Aces in what
proved to be a closely fought
match 1624-1622.
John Danjanic's 154-430
and Steve Turkovich's S 153-
429 become the best male
scores of his comparatively
young season. Over in the
women's field Ann Komar
with 1856 and Alice Povelitis
came through 10 peg new
feminine highs.
Other highs of the Septem-
ber 18th session got around
to John Watson with 400,
Matt Thomas, 399, Jo Pre-
wish, 1886. and Ann Yat-
son with a 1856 triple. Not too
high, eh? But the Alcros will
settle at this stage for $50 in
top singles and in the four
century mark as mons three

majority of bowlers who will
take to this sport, the CFU
bowling policy, unchanged as
it is, becomes an accepted
fact. We therefore review it
here in the Zajednicar more
as an incentive to any newly
come Lodge League which
may be contemplating joining
the widely spread kegling
fraternity.
Any Lodge or Nest group
composed of as few as four
a. teams of five (5) or more
members organized for the
purpose of conducting Tenpin,
Duckpin or Five Pin activities
in the United States or Can
ada and bowling a set sched-
ule of at least twenty (2O)
weeks will be recognized by
the Croatian Fraternal Union
as a league.
Those leagues which COM
ply with the rulings set forth
by the C.F.U. Sports-Educa-
tional Department, and for
the most part enunciated here
in the Zajednicar, will upon
proper application be eligible
for championship trophies
and awards made available by
the Croatian Fraternal Union.
Application for official
sane, On shall be made on a
prescribed form and within
sixty days after the league
has started functioning for
the 1954-55 season: Accom-
panying the sanction applica-
ton which includes a COM
plete list of each bowler of
said league will be a copy of
it's constitution and bylaws.
Since this promotional ven-
ture has a definite purpose of
furthering the Society, no
league not comprised, entire
ly, of members from C.F.U.
Lodges and Nests will rate
this sanction. A league failing
to qualify in this respect and
failing to report it's seasonal
results regularly will become
ineligible for trophies and
awards, and in the case of
Nest leagues and bowlers for
financial aid also.
The Croatian Fraternal
Union will reimburse each
Junior who rolls in a C.F.U.
sanctioned league or an indie
pendent but sanctioned team
to the extent of five cents
($.05) per game. The Director
of this Department will auth
orize t lis reimbursement
twice each season and only
upon proper certification and
when application has been
made by the League Secre-
tary and the Nest Manager.
The Croatian Fraternal
Union will furnish the league
champions a team trophy and
the individuals on said team
with trophies or suitable
awards. A limit of eight (8)
such individual trophies or "a
wards to the league champ
ions has been set. Leagues
which wish to forego a team
trophy for runner-up trophies
or awards will be limited to
five 90 each n d iv id u a |

phies.

in the cost of trophies, will

Western Pennsylvania area
to which the Croatian Frater-

fields of endeavor is one of
the major realms of rubber

A sincere organized move

merits more than a passing
consideration. Personally we
believe in all three. Over the

Because of a lack of men,
bership, the sanction or dues
Of which is nominal, several
C.F.U. duckpin scores have
failed to get wider attention.
The American Rubberband
Duckpin Bowling Congress,
organized August 16, 1915, is
an organization of bowlers
primarily, interested in the
game of rubber banding
duckpin bowling, and purely
from a bowler's standpoint.
Their principal aim is to i'm
prove the game from all an
giles and to standardize all
the equipment. 1t is a nom
profit organization and is af-
filiated with the National
Duck Pin Bowling Congress

Among the. benefits derived
from being a member of the

ward: Gold Medals to women

game and for 600 series; Sill
yer Medals to women for
scores, 235 to 249, Bronze
Medals for scores 215 to 234
depending upon the bcwler's
average; Gold Medals to men
bowling 200 and over for one
game and for 700 series;S
yer Medals to men for scores
260 and 289, Bronze Medals
for scores 235 to 259, depend
ing upon the bowler's aver
age; 10-k Gold Medal and a
handsome Plaque for each
300 score; all sanctioned
bowlers are considered for
national ranking; and last but
not least among the advan-
tages that of enjoying good
fellowship.
Through the continued ef-
| forts of the sanctioned bowl
ers, along with other units of
the bowling games, the 2Ofo
tax per game on bowling was
definitely eliminated. Fo r
how long depends upon all the

Hogan was four over par for
nine holes as he was over par
i've times on the front nine and

He was playing with Billy Joe

If the 23-year-old Littler
