leaving the high game to
Chuck Geboy with 247.
In the other circuit, the

Chicago Tourney
Duly Sanctioned

Pittsburgh, Pa. - The 21st
running of the Croatian Fra
ternal Union Annual Tenpin
Tournament scheduled for
Chicago, Illinois, May II thru
Is, 1866 has been given the
moral support sanction by the
American Bowling Congress
and the Women's Internation-
al Bowling Congress, Inc.
Running tournaments is
your business - sanctioning
them is ours" carried in a cir
cular letter by the American
Bowling Congress last Aug
ust we'll summarizes their
standing policy. For this both
the A.B.C. and the W.IB.C.
are to be complimented.
Of the singles and doubles
tournaments, such competi-
ton has been included over
the years in the C.F.U. an
nual tournaments, 687 such
tournaments were sanctioned
two years ago. Last season
the count jumped to almost
1000. This year upwards of
1000 applications for sane
ton of a singles-doubles tour
nament are expected for the
1954-55 season. The trend
speaks for itself and we are
pleased to announce that in
conformity to what is best
for the individual boWlar5, ev-
cry effort shall always be ex-
tended to enjoy this blessing
and sanction.
Needless to say that the
"Krizari", C.. F. u. Lodge 70
under whose hostship this
tournament will be conducted
are leaving no stones unturn-
ed. The Congress Recreation
for bowling and the Hotel
Congress for quartering have
long been reserved for the in
flux Of the Society's bowlers
and friends who will converge
upon Chicago.

Forty.Eight Teams Tried Luck During
Second Annual "Progress" Sweepstakes

jednicar by Louis S. Pavletie,
the tournament secretary.
To the sweeper participants
we say but keep the Sweep
stakes agoing as you have
the past six years that we
have grown to know you in
dividually and you know
yourselves even better"
We thought it was a nice
gesture of C-F-U fraternalism
to get together at the nearby
Curtis Restaurant some for
ty-five or fifty of you even
with a dessert of Croatian
singing being dialed in before
turning up for the Progress
Lodge dance later that eve
ming.
1t was our personal plea
sure to meet as we intended
in our dual role trip to Chi
cago with John j. Golich,
chairman of the 1855 Tenpin
Tournament which is coming
up this coming May. He as
sembled his "Krizari" Lodge
70 tournament committee for
a convenient and purposeful
meeting to the writer.
We trust that the Krizari
members some of whom we
corresponded previously but
met for the first time, name
ly Adam Soich and Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Zakaria found the
same pleasure. 1t was quite
that the 1855 hosts are anX-
ious to make the Tournament
a success.
With the Progress Sweeper
as an indicator and the gen
eral prevailing atmosphere as
we deduced it, we are certain
that the Krizari's long due
desire will be capped with a
successful tournament. Need
less to say that the Home
Office views all tournaments
with the same expectancy.

Saturday of January % it

True that like the admins

it has it's headaches and per-

is more easily faced when you
realize that in this area, the

keepers coming from almost
any of our Chicago Lodges
are to be complimented for
pitching in with the commit
tee to the point that within a
reasonable time after the
second squad completed their
bowling, all scores were to-
tailed, checked and the names
of the winners available.
We do not aim to take any
wind out of the sails of the
