January Last Month To
Sign Hoop Meet Player

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Recent
conversation with John Pand-
"a of Farrell, Pa, and we'll
known in Western Pehnsyl-
vania basketball circles re-
veals that the G.. F. u. 18th
Annual Basketball Tourna-
ment can definitely be set for
Friday, Saturday and Sun
day, April 2, 3 and 4, 1854.
1t may be interesting to
note as Lodges and Nests be-
gin to Gull their memberships
for a team to represent them
in Farrell, that tournament
rules of long standing main
tain that a tournament bas-
ketball player must be a
member of the Croatian Fra
ternal U nj O n, three 90
months before the opening
date. Of the tourney. Since
tournament eligibility and
Croatian Fraternal Union
membership are so closely en-
twined, it gives you the en-
tire month of January in
which to broach CFU men,
bership to that basketball
playing buddy or relative.
Why not get busy and show
the elders that you have the
interests of the Society as
we'll as that of the desire to
play basketball at heart.
An amendment of two
tournaments standing and
good experience permits -
Lodge and Nest teams to
participate in the CFU Ma
tional Basketball Tourna-
ments and recruit CFU men,
bers from another Lodge or
Nest to the limit of not more
than two (2) such recruited
members for any tournament
team"
We might give the depart
mental enunciation that tour
nament participation only
and no seasonal play before
the tournament, will not en-
title you to the fifty dollars
($5O.00) per team basketball
appropriation.

St. Louis Loops Boast
Of Crack Pin Busters

st. Louis, Mo. - 1t was
bound to happen to Kate
Grbac of the Greater St.
Louis CFU Ladies League
who on four occasions during
the current season had games
in the double century bracket.
The best of these being a
2O8. However on the evening
of January IA she let out with
a fury to post 232 in a 546
series for an all-time one
game feminine high in the
Mound City G. F. u. kegling
annals.
This new high water mark
outdoes the 233 and 22O post
ed by Frances Grbcich last
season and in the opening ses-
sion of this season, respective
ly. Frances Grbcich still has
the all time 613 triple honors.
The league is still being led
in the team standings by the
Lodge SO representatives with
81 wins in nineteen weeks.
Second place is held down by
the Lodge 167 lassies, while
at 27-30 the Chulicks and the
Sokolich Marketeers find a
point to argue who should
have that spot. Down the line
we find the Ahal Contractors
and the Lusicic Monuments.
In the Mems Division, that
same night, the top bowler
was Hubert Domijan by vir-
tue of his 239-599 a far cry
from the seasons records.
Next in line for the sessional
honors was Frank Jovano-
vich with 216-563.
The Klaric Contractors are
still in the drivers seat with
t h e Ivancich-Brncich COM
bine not too far behind should
they falter in but one lane
meet. At 1927 Ban Tile and
Chip-Wa Lanes have a third
place tie. The second division
among the male teams is
comprised of Chulicks, Moy-
dells, the Home Radio and
T-V and the Weiss Market
squads.
While on the subject of
teams, we must not fail to
report that the Ivancich-Brn-
cich team ran up scores of
94O-25O9, the present second
best such scores in the Mems
League.

Versailles Mems Loon
Lathering Little Pins

Versailles, Pa. - George
Pavlecic, whose best until
the January 18th session of
the Versailles Young Mems
Club had been a 1913 game,
hit upon an all time high a.
mong the Lodge 146 male
keglers by rolling a 246 game
in a 524 series. This new high
noses out Richard Dandar's
237 boWled in the final ses-
sion of the first half.
The Secretaries who much
unlike themselves of the first
half where they finished last
had been going great guns in
the second half, ran into the
Treasurers to lose two games.
The winners bettered their
own team high of 787 by roll
ing 791 in the final game.
The Presidents in 2152 the
best team triple of the day
ran roughshod over t h e
Trustees.
This being a two weeks re-
sumo a rundown of the high
er individual cannot escape
giving credit to the following:
Pete Konkovich, 1856; Richard
Dandar, 185-477; Frank Rus
sin, 205-470; Frank Spicko,
178-456; Frank Pavlecic, 444;
Mike Gergas, 434; John Hos

Junior Dux Tournament
Slated For April 10Th

Pittsburgh, Pa. - AT this
time we want it officially
known that the CFU Junior
Duckpin Bowling Tournament
will take place Saturday,
April 10, 1854, at the Pan
tone Bros Bowling Lanes in
Sharpsburg.
This follows closely to past
practices of having the Jun
iors' event precede the bowl
ing event of their parents llk-
ing. 1t also holds to the line
Of having the youngsters bowl
in the same CFU colony as do
their elders.
Sharpsburg for the benefit
of our readers who may not
know is adjacent to our
strong and old CFU colony of
Etna. In fact the Pantone
Lanes are but a five minute
ride from the Croatian Home
on Bridge Street in Etna the
seat of our many CFU doings
in the past.
We hope that this an
nouncement will catch the eye
Of our young CFU duxers and
Nest Managers as well. The
date is Saturday, April 10,
1854, and behooves those who
stand to benefit by this acti-
witty of the Society to make
their plans even now.
