Ohio Tournament A Marked Success

rlghttul m.c.-lng OF Co-chalr-
man Stephen Bozurich, Jr.
who tried to apologize for
tournament inadequacies of
which there were darn few.
Following which came brief
addresses from Frank Brai-
die Of the C.F.U. Home Of
flee; Joseph Bozurich, the
Lodge 514 prexy; Harriet
Bozurich, the tournament Sec
retary; John Badovinac, Su-
preme Trial Board President
and chairman of the forth
coming C.F.U. National Ten
pin Tournament and Tony
Pavlic of Akron which was
voted the 1858 Buckeye tour
nament.
1t is noteworthy of mention
that Tony Pavlic even parti-
cipated, let alone tarried so
late that evening since he was
entering a hospital the next
day. Lou Marich, grey at the
temples for sometime, but an
ardent bowler to the point
that he was co-chairman of
this 1st Ohio State Tourna-
ment was asked to lend his
fatherly advice to which he
added Canton's appreciation
for the response which met
this undertaking under the
wing of their lodge.
An indication that it was
not all gayety, Mrs. Theresa
Marich, as the chairlady of
the, Canton's Croatian group
for the March of Dimes"
program read an address,
purpotely, in Croatian that
was we'll received.
In circumspect the writer
was impressed how the Can
ton members rolled up their
sleeves whether it was behind
the bar, in the kitchen under
Mrs. Millie Jacksich, at the
turnstile or in the check
room. Also in the manner
which our Buckeye bowlers
went about laying the basis
for rules to govern future
runnings of this tournament.
Also how champions turn
ed their trophy to the Lodge
of their affiliation.
Leaving the complete and
official tournament prize list
to Stephen Bozurich, Jr., we
as asked, wish to include
herein the three top scoring
teams in each division, name

W.P Sweepstakes
Draws Big Turnout


Pittsburgh, Pa. - The 9Th
C.F.U. West Penn Dux Sweep
stakes, reeled off at the Lon
car Bowling Lanes in West
Bridgewater, Pa. over Janu-
ary 26-27, 1857, proved as
have it's predecessors that, ir-
respective of where the event
is held each year, it gets the
support of the areas "dux-
perts'.
The total of $40 lines bowl
ed this year attests to the
fact. The seasons weather
conditions somewhat seem to
hold down the number of fem
inine participants but the men
more than make up for this.
The mixed couple entries in
dicate the popularity of that
phase of the Sweepstakes.
We are indebted to the size
able number from McKees-
ports Lodges 25 and "A who
entered. They travelled a good
40 miles one way to just bowl.
The largest lodge entry
came from Pitpas Lodge 7O6
of N. S. Pittsburgh, % in all.
Tony Delac, their lodge presi-
dent, deserves credit for
rounding up that many en-
tries, as does Walter Bubano-
vic for making possible the
return Of Millvale to C.F.U.
bowling circles. We thought
that the matter of $50 lines
of kegling Sunday, January
9th, which included some
Beaver Countians could, if
spread out the previous night,
eased the work of staff that
day, namely, Stephen F. Br-
kich, George Lisjak, Jr. and
George Zivitz.
The Sweepstakes feminine
champs this year were from
McKeesport and it took 70
pins less per bowler to place
highest. The mems singles
championship went to Ali
quippa and the doubles to
Etna and the mixed couple
doubles to New Brighton =
Rochester.
The mems individual high
game honors went to Aliquip-
pa, thus that no community
of 1856 repeated itself at this
Sweepstakes, save the wom-
ems Individual high game
which last year was tied be-
tween New Brighton and
Rankin, went to New Brigh-
ton alone, and even here it
was a new title holder. We are
refraining from mentioning
any individual names of 1857
champions here, trusting that
the Sweepstakes bowlers de.
finitely scrutinize the com.
plete official score and prize
list that will appear in the
Zajednicar.

ted to the tune of SO five-man
teams, the Ohio State Bowl
ing Tournament got off we'll
in Canton the weekend of
January 26-27, 1857 to the
credit of the sponsoring
Lodge at14 of that city and
to the Society's Buckeye LODI
ges which posted entries.
The Castamall Recreation
Alleys were a steady parade
of quints over Saturday eve
ming and from HOO AM. to
400 Pm. Sunday when the
last squads toed the foul line.
Run as a handicap event, the
tournament received splendid
cooperation from the alleys
management who helped to
check scores and maintained
a public posting of the scores
as they came off the alleys.
The "Ploneers" Lodge 663
of Cleveland and hosts-to-be
of the national tournament
which takes place there May
2-5, 1857, walked off with the
team honors which were SYM
bolized by C.F.U. awarded
trophies. In the women's di-
vision it was the York Tool
and Die team, while among
the men it was the Pioneers
STAINS team. They tell us that
the mems outfit was one that
George Zivich, one of the few
remaining Pioneer charter
members of 80 years stand
ing corraled for the tourna-
ment, the boys not even wait
ing for the lodge to under
write their entry fee.
Lodge 514, as the tourney
sponsors, made possible two
individual trophies, one each
to the male and female roll
ing the scratch one game
highs. The women's was won
by Mary Petrin of Youngs-
town with a 215 game and the
mems by John Skorich of
Cleveland who spilled 236
pins.
The small American Croa-
tian Hall, home site of Lodge
514, was compact but comfor-
table as fraternalism only
could make it throughout the
tournament. Especially the
evening of the final day when
they made two banquet seat
ings to handle the crowd.

Mrs. Rudolph Patcher and
will confine his playing to
catching, although while play
ing on the local sandlots he
has seen duty at second base
and in the outfield.
John Patcher graduated
from Johnstown High School
in 1855. The stellar play of
our Cambria City lad with
the local Westmont Club
caught the eye of the Redleg
scout Ed Liberatore, who
trods the local area for base
ball ivory. Patcher at 19 years
has completed the expected
full farm system locally. He
batted .253 last season and
was among the top baserun-
ners as he stole 10 bases.
Currently employed at the
Bestform Foundations for the
past year, John will report
to Douglas, Georgia, n
March 13 for spring training
and future assignments re-
sulting from the Class B con-
tract he has signed.
The JohnstoWn C.F.U. col
ony wishes him success in the
sport of baseball, especially
when he stems from a large
clan that are C.F.U. members
from the grand sires ito
grandsons.

P|umwood Church Example Of Areas
Interest In Community Improvement

Churches are normally the back
ground which provides for
wholesome community and the viii
lage of Plumwood is no exception
actually. the churches of the
neighborhood date back far beyond
the dates when the village was es-
tablished. And prior to 1897, there
were several churches organized
in the community :. but no Meth
odist group was in that number
With the organization of the
Methodist Church in that year,
the first regular meeting was held
in the new building on December
%, 1897 on Sunday. The Rev. H. E.
Wright was minister for the group
at that time. Charles Sanford was
instrumental in the organization of
the group, and the construction OF
the building which is still in use,
with the required repairs and ad-
ditions. The first janitor, Mrs.
Maggie Neer, was hired at sal
ary of S100 per month.
One of the earliest workers in
the group identified as members of
the Plumwood Methodist Church
was Mrs. Carrie Sanford. She was
really staunch supporter !. one
who filled many positions on the
official boards as well as in the
outside activities of the church.
She taught classes, led in prayer
meetings !. and was often called
upon to have the fires going when
the minister of the charge arrived.
Later there was Mrs. Helen Har
bage who filled many positions in
the church, and still remains ac-
tive She taught the adult class un-
til 1886 when she turned over this
duty to Ellsworth Grewell who is
still the teacher.
The present church was made
part of the Lafayette Charge in
1914. and as such has prospered.
