Far From Determined

Farrell, Pa. - Ohio State
after two bad sessions came
through with a dual win over
the Vassar squad. AS it were
they fell out of a three week
old first place tie when Mich
igan State took all three from
Notre Dame.
Getting back to Ohio State,
they were paced by Ed Ro-

role this time with 195-46O.
Frank Burich added a 432 Sc

victory. Mary Robich shot q
ia game that failed to sparE
her mates nonetheless.
The league which only
three weeks ago had a three
game spread between frs

five game marginal. With two
more nights of pin topping
the winner is far from de

Lodge 81 BowIers Set
For Chi Pin Tournament

Chicago, Ill. - The March
23rd meet of the Sloboda
Lodge 80 Mixed League was
the most sensational night
that we have experienced.
Two of the teams, the Par
dus BARRIERS and the Boge-
itch Florals rolled over 25OO
as a team. The leading Par
dus keglers have up to April
7th amassed a record of 6O
wins to "a losses, eight of
the victories coming in the
past three weeks.
Sporadic wins, the latest
coming against the Skala
Bankers have failed to move
the runner-up Bogetich Flo
rails against such a winning
tide in the team standings
race. In fact the leaders now
enjoy a nine game margin.
The league is especially Ella
ted over the 268 single game
in a GIT series punched out by
Frank Jerbich of the Pavlak
and Sons Morticians. Frank
, Jerbich 268 marks is the
highest in the Hrvatska Slo-
boda Lodge 80 Athletic Club
history and we can proudly
say that many a good score
and many a good performer
] has exhibited his wares under
the Sloboda canopy. Frank
Jerbich's good fortune came

Cleveland Pioneers In
Fight For League Grown

Cleveland, Ohio. - T h e
league leading Pioneers
crashed a 1925 game in a big
2849 set to rout M and M
Cafes in all three games, tum-
bling the losers into third
place while at the same time
the Strivers moved into Sec
ond place through their three
wins over helpless A. Grdina
and Sons.
Frank Duck, ~Bilicic led
the bowling parade locally
with his whooping 246-653
and along with Johnny Brai-
dies 213-618 and Pete Yurk's
244-612 paced the Pioneer
men attack while Steve Ka-
sunic collected 247-626 and
Steve Simcic 1888 for the
M and M Cafes.
Meanwhile, a sizzling Stri-
vers quint bombarded the
naples to a healthy 1854 tune
with Milan Grdovic blazing
the way with his 234-615 fol-
lowed by John Hrnyak's 213-
Gil, Tom Steich's 212-583 and
John Vukcevic's 202-548. For

Another reminder to the To-
cal C.F.U. Bowling front that
the Pioneers Card and Social
Party is scheduled for Friday,
April 22nd in the Croatian

The purpose of this affair is
to help defray expenses in
connection with the 21st An

ment in Chicago. We may add
at this time that the Pioneer
bowlers, for whom this event
is planned for, are tagging to
date and hope more interest
will be stirred during the next
few days.

Canton Bowlers Gird
For End Of Pin Grind

Canton, Ohio Things
have really changed in the
Lodge 514 Mixed Bowling
League of late. The leading
Jacobs-Waltner team in spite
of it's lofty position took it on
the chin for the second
straight week in 0-4 style,
first by the lowly Lodge team
and then by the Croats. Star
ring for the Croats was Is
year old Tad Gardner with
212-557 and V. Miculan with
221-593. In the April 9 game
the punch of the J-W's was
contained in A. Tonic, 239-
565, Rose Bozurich, 126-329
and Joe Bozurich, 187-473.
The league leaders have ano-
ther luminary in their roster,
Jerry Brown, a fourteen year,
who the previous week rolled
2O3-553.
The second place Price Adj
vertisers missed the win col
umn for the third straight
week and another opportuni-
ty to overtake the league
leaders. Their nemisis this
time being the Mack's Cafe
team where John Comsia,
2O3-567 and Rudy Fedich,
159-459 played a stellar role.
! Upholding the Price Advert
sers were Dot Brown, 148-431
and Betty Cockrell, 147-397.
We have two more nights
of league action, being some
what behind because Of the
Canton City Tournament. For
! these reasons the Lodge 514
will not see action until April
3Oth and May 7th.
Canton G.. F. U.-ers bowled

April 18th. Then on May LIST

ing that really pays-off divi-
dend as an interest builder.

their accomplishments, the
other ladies of the league
have nevertheless turned IN
some sparkling scores such as
Mary Bacilo's 496 and All Sc
ries, Vivian Smare's 496-188
and Jenne Belich's 200 game
and 455 series. Other top
scores were; Mary Patterson
465-178, Sophie B o n d C h,
461-167, Goldie Dragich 455-
1853, Mary Cuculich 1874, Kay
Rukavina 1872 and Kay Parac
1SO. The men have likewise
done we'll in recent weeks
with Ivan Kuchan scoring
594-213, 595-223 and 629-225
to lead the league with a 1SO
average. Cazmo Lukrich has
moved up with two fine 6O3-
213 and 612-222 series. Other
top marks are Bill Gergurich,
Sr. 6O9-213, John Vitalich,
556-241, Zlatko Kuzmanoff

All CFU members in Cali
fornia are eligible to bowl and
this wear teams may be COM
prised of members of differ
ent Lodges. That's a new rul-
ing for this years tourney.
Thirty to forty teams are

All of the top winners OF
last years classic will be

within ten pins of the tor
when the final counts are IN.

Kay PetruceIa Clubs
Bay Area Loop Marks

San Francisco, Calf. - A
hectic finish that couldn't be
closer plus a blazing hot
streak by Kay Petrucela tea-
ture the closing weeks of the
Bay Area C.F.U. Mixed Han
dicap League. The top-run-
ming Progress team, the dark
horse East Siders and the
potent but unlucky Cigani
have already clinched the
three top spots of the second
half and are battling right
down to the wire to decide
the order in which they will
finish.
AS for Kay's bowling all
we can say is "Wow' after
having already established a
league series mark of 525,
she raised that to 533, topped
that mark with a $50 and
then proceeded to crown her
efforts with a magnificent
596 series. After a modest
143, she scored a 1874 perfect
in her second game and ended
with another perfect game
and all-time league record
game of 259. After a spare in
the first frame followed by
seven consecutive strikes, her
garter snapped and she had
to settle for a spare, but re-
covering her poise, she struck
out in the tenth. The Secre-
tary who has effectively an
chored his team into last
place in both halves of the
season (his team was the un-
fortunate five facing this on
slaught) watched all these
goings-on with wide saucer
eyes and silently resolved to
take up checkers next year
instead. Incidently Kay who
started her streak with a 145
average raised it to a present
Isl league-leading average
no mean feat in itself at the
end of the season.

Old Timers Take Cake
In Buffalo Lodge Loop

Buffalo, N. Y. - With only
the final roll-offs remaining,
the bowling activity of the
Jerry Kustich Memorial Lea
que of Lodge 557 has drawn
to practically a close. Since
this is so perhaps a resume Of
the seasons activity would
be in order.
Our season ends with a
proud salute to the six tired
old men who make up the
spirited team with the mon
iker "Old Timers. This group
of sportsmen led by the ca
pable Jake Pochepan proved
to be the best combination
even over the younger keg-
lers. They finished the sea-
son with a 41-28 record. Our
hats are off to the team Of
IC.F.U. veterans, Charles Bla-
zina, Mike Lodick, Jake Po-
chepan; Tony Matthias and
Jerry Kustich, Sr.
Boosting of 40-29 record,
the Treys copped the second
place honors and were in turn
followed by the Aces who
wrangled a 1881 mark. The
Treys lineup was bolstered by
such greats as John Gyalog,
George 10th; John DiMar-
tile, Jr.; Keith Caldwell and
a feminine partner Annabelle
Ryan.
The final figures place the
Saints next, following them
icome the Stars, the Sinners,
Mis-Cues and the Debs, re-
spectively.
Pacing the Individual high
scores was Mike Martonick
with 246. PREF Sam Albert
was second best with 236
game. The female members
placed Maggie Marks and Pat
Begovich in the spotlight
with marks of 214 and 213 in
that order. Pat managed tc
overcome Maggie for three
game high honors by piline
a $40 series. Maggie Marks
had SIT high for the year.
Not to be outdone by
younger brother Mike, John
Martinick came by with z
624 pinfall. John a consistent
high scorer proved to be the
sparkplug for the fifth place
Stars. Sam Albert was the
runner-up again with a 594
: triple.
With the seasons activity
at home closing, the Buffalo
mans are looking forward tc
one final shindig and the big
contest for C.F.U. supremacy
: and get-together in Chicago.

Heads For Hot Finish

JOhnStOwn, Pa. - w t h
Just two weeks remaining on
the st. Rochus Lodge 5 sche-
dule, the Baretincic Morti-
clans continue to hold their
one game lead over the trail
ing but bustling st. Rochus
Lodge 5 team. The Morticians
who were not pressed any too
hard by the st, Rochus
Churchmen, took a 2-1 deci-
sion as the result. Stephen
Petrusic of the Baretincics
was the outstanding perform
er as he took high laurels
with counts of 219-187-5
Vic Farkas aiding with 476
and Joseph Thomas with All.
For the Churchmen, Victor
Farkas, Jr. was tops with
182-469.
The Clark Powells asserted
themselves in the middle
game as they scored 821 but
were weak in the other two
tilts as the Lodgemen won,
2-1. Ed Cominskey was ops
for the winners with 191-479
while James Grasa racked up
a 196-471 total.
Belatedly only b e caus S e
space did not give it light

session when Vic Farkas, Sr.,

come a credit to our caliber
