LET'S GO B0WLIN'

With the bowling season only
few days away, it is great to
see the amount of interest this
new field of sport has brought
to our people here in Miami for
the first time.
Americas greatest self-parti-
cipating indoor recreation is
available to all of us, Hollywood,
Fl. Lauderdale and even the West
Palm Beach area has its share
Of bowlers, that do not consider
the distance, but enjoy the relax
alton and pleasure which this
clean sport has brought us. Pro-
fessional and business men alike,
mix with all of us here. 1t is like
one big family having fun in clean
and respected surroundings.
The spotlight for the past week
shines on Cyril Miller of Holly
wood, who was looking for that
perfect game. He had nine strikes
in a row to start the game but a
light 10th frame hit got him only
Q. next a spare and his last ball
was only good for a-pin fill Civ
ing him the new alley high game
Of ZIG.
Right after Labor Day will see
the start of several company
leagues with a staff of men from
jackson Memorial Hospital form
ing their own league and having
set their bowling night for Mon
days with a z pm. start. All OF
the above leagues will be gov
erned by regulations set by the
Bowling Congress, another ad-
vancement for US in the right di-
rection.
These company leagues are
what is called closed leagues and
employees of such are the only
ones to participate in same.
But don't feel LET out -- you too
can be a member Of the leagues
now starting. Women and men,
including beginners are welcome
TO Join the groups now forming
at Palm Bowl, 10Th ave and 18th
ST.

MOORE
MARCIANO FIGHT
MAY BE MILLION
DOLLAR GATE

NEW YORK - CAMP - Fight
promoters in the IBC office are
happy folks these days. The old
cash registers are ringing away
merrily with the Moore -Marciano
fight still four weeks off.
Predictions of a $750,0OO gate
made by Jim Norris earlier, are
giving way to predictions of an
even bigger gate. This one may
hit a million. Already, high
priced seats, the $40 ducats, are
getting mighty hard TO get and
Madison Square Garden is Won
dering what's going TO happen
next.
Meanwhile, stories from Archie's
camp are still thunderbolts. Every
maniac in the outfit is predict
ing a kayo by the champ. But
some sports writers are taking it
all with tongue in cheek. They
admit Rocky is no devastating
one punch killer, but they point
to the men he has runined old
men - and Archie is not a young
man.
One writer, quoting an I'M
named referee, says the latter ex-
poets the fight to 90 about nine,
with Rocky wearing down Ar
chic. The main trouble, this ex-
pert says, is that Archie can no
longer take a punch. But he
covered up quickly by saying Ar
chic can still toss 'em.
So that's the way the boys see
