Johnnie Duxers Close First Half Of Season

Johnstown, Pa. - Putting
the final touches to first half
Of the st. Rochus Lodge 5
Dux League with the Decem-
ber 9th session, reporting
thereof with a condimcnt of
statistics might prove inter-
esting to the readers and
should be merit due to the
individuals who compiled the
marks.
Charles Gojmerac of the
Lodge 5 team was the lace
man. in the average field as
the first half closed. Charles,
who spilled 1884 pins in IS
games, earned the respecta-
BILE average of 1913 to top a
field of good keglers with in
dividual averages that would
arch an eye brow in many a
league. Charles also owns the
single game laurels in a 237
score.
Runner-up to Gojmerac
was Edward Cominskey with
a 1908 mark over a AZ game
span that netted him pin
fall of 6758. Others in the
big ten are Victor Farkas,
Sr., 159; Steve Kmetz, 157;
Vic Farkas, Jr., 1856; Steve
Petrusic, 154; John Gredesky,
154; John Cominskey, 154;
Michael Duray, Isl and An
drew Kindya, 14O.
The Baretincic Morticians
who won the first half bunt-
ing the week previous were.
treated with some indignity
by the second place Lodge
team who took all three
games BIZ margins over the
series that totalled 1875 pins.
Even the last place Pavic
Amusements came up, with a
surprise, a clean sweep over
the Church team, to wrest

Versailles Tulips In
Firsf Half Flag Claim

Versailles, Pa. - The first
half of the Lodge 146 Ladies
League ended January End
with the Tulips registering
so victory over the hast place
Violets to finish with a Sill
record and with it the first
half title.
The going wasn't always
that easy for only at the pre-
holiday session were the lea
que titlists treated roughly
by the Orchids who exploded
the seasons team highs, 685-
1928 to trOunce them soundly.
The same Orchids made it
six straight against the 1rises
to finish five games behind
the Tulips. Three of the
teams broke even over six
teen weeks Of play to make it
a three-way tie for third place
among themselves. They were
the Irises, Lilacs and the
Roses.
Mary Pavlic who leads the
average department with a
119 mark stole the individual
honors on the final night with
149-420. Seasonal h on or S
however are owned by Mary
Balun with 200 and Dorothy
| Kijowski with 190-468. Ann
Shumar placed third with a
455 triple.
Others in the individual av-
erages category to rate men,
ton are Mary Roper with a
115 mark, Trudy Bacon and
Helen Buck, ia; Dot kijow-
ski, 113 and Ann Shumar
with III.
A fair warning, perhaps, to
the Tulip bowlerettes could
be the runner-up seasonal
highs, 658 and 1922 by the
Lilacs, an indication that they
too could prove a strong sec
ond half contender.

Hearts CIobber Clubs
In no Revenge Match
Frank Rraidic

Pitt burgh, Pa. - The
Hearts Of the Home Office
circuit on December 9th d
venged a former defeat and
in the same style when they
clobbered the Clubs, so with
Tony Brajdic, bowling 60 pins
over average, paving the way
with a 162-456 getting better
as the match progressed.
The best to match this a.
mong the losers was a 13O-
345 by Doc. Arch, Sr. as
hopes for the 1st half title
faded away in one Of the
Clubs worst team showlngs.
It must be that whom the
gods would destroy they first
make mad and when this fails
they try flattery. The Clubs
at one time had an II game
winning streak.
The Trumps squeaked by
! the December session as Nick
Spudich of the Jokers had his
Sunday or spiked mineralite
ball working beautifully as he
racked up 1882. both new
male seasonal highs. The Jo-
kers win came after three
weeks which had them on the
short end of a score. Charles
Moravac's 1858, 80 pins above
average didn't help t h G
Trumps. The Trumps even
though they lost went into the
final session tied with the
Hearts.
With only three wins in the
past five weeks over any
other team but their cousins,
the Spades. the Diamonds, at
least the distaff members,
Lenore Zvonkovich, 1SS-45s
and Mary Spudich, 136-36O,
chose to vent their wrath a
gainst the Spades. Zvonko-
vich rolling 68 pins over aver
age and Mary Spudich 81.
Congratulations to the Spu-
dichs. Nick and Mary, who
help us round out a six team
league each week, to LenOre
Zvonkovich and Tony Bra jdic,
whose individual exhibitions
certainly merited the holiday
prizes while the rest Of us Of

Americans Are Most Cordially Invited To
Participate In April Sc Toronto Meeting

There will also be a Junior
Division for the nest members
where competition will be
confined to teams of three
boys and two girls per junior
team. The Society, through
it's Home Office paying the
bowling fees by all Juniors in
junior competition, urges Ca
madam affiliates to be repre-
sented.
Entry Deadline March 8
A junior cannot bowl in
both the senior and the junior
division, it being felt that a
youngster able to step out in
to the adult class is not ap-
propriate te competition to
youngsters, where a few
years difference can make a
vast difference. Besides there
will be youngsters bowling,
for the first time.
The deadline for tOurna-
ment entries has been set
for March 8, 1857, giving
everyone ample time to
post an entry.
We again express our de-
sire to have our American
brethren and sisters partici-
pate since our handicap sys-
tenn will give them an equit-
able chance to compete and
the addition of their numbers
will help toward a successful
tournament.
Bowlers having been noti-
fled through the mail with
entry blanks and through the
zajednicar by periodic an
nouncements such as this, we
hope to be able to come out
with a tournament schedule
in the Zajednicar prior to the
tournament itself.
We beseech your coopera-
ton insofar as hurrying the
completed entry blanks to the
tournament secretary, Robert

Whiskers Playing Part
In Canton League Wars

Canton. Ohio - At the De-
cember 29th session of the
Lodge 514 League, the other
be-whiskered member Of our
kegling organization, Frank
Paro beat Joe Bozurich out
of the high single game with
a 259 which was part of 6o2
series.
Unlike Joe, the other two
games were far above aver
age. At times you begin to
suspect that the mustachlo
and it it's chin accounterment
are not a handicap but an aid
to better bowling marks.
Just wondering what Lou
Marich, a barber by trade
and a bowler of some caliber
by hobby, might have sug-
gested to these two, Frank
Paro and Joe Bozurich.
After all, there are those
of us in Canton who remem-
Der both men and less spec
tacular scores??
The last place Lodge team
came up with two games that
rocked the first place Nest
1876 outfit with a 81 setback.
John Comsia's 223-o53 being
a deciding factor.
Tony Cugino, 213-557
steared his proteges, the Can
ton Pure Milk team to a clean
sweep over the Stahlhebers.
Frank Paro's brilliant dis
play enabled the National
Heaters beat out the Browns,
81, the bright light among
the losers being Pat Spino,
2O4-569. The 3 O'Clock team
hammered out three 500
games to handily take the set
from the Tommy's Tavern
ties. Mike Drozda rolled a 23C
and went on to finish with a
6O3 total, his first such series
He naturally is very happy
and We congratulate him on
this personal achievement.

Youngstown, Ohio - The
St. George Lodge 66 cagers
opened the basketball season
with a game December 29th
against the Top Shelf Five.
The CFUers led 81 to 20 at
the half way mark, but the
visitors came back strong in
the third quarter. Twenty six
points by our aggregation to
fifteen by the Top Shelf lads
in the final quarter gave us
a 1866 victory.
Jake Bolkovac and Juni
Lubanovic played an excellent
floor game, their pressing
floor defense enabling them to
steal the ball on many oc-
casions. Newcomers John and
Milan Zban, Ed Leshnak and
Bob Wallow impressed us
with their all-around play.
Ron Shebek and Jim Del

Lodge 961, the tourney hosts,
is expecting one of the most
successful if not the greatest
tournaments ever held under
the auspices Of our Society.
The Olympic-St. Clair Al
leys, among the finest in
the city, have been reserved
for Friday and Saturday,
April 5 and 6, 1857. We do
hope that your lodge group
and you as an individual
will soon be directing your
thoughts to reserving a
space in the tournaments
schedule.
A Victory Banquet and
Dance will climax this sports
event in a fitting manner.
This social will be held Satur-
day night, April 9Th, and the
now we'll known Croatian Ma
tional Home 1850 Dupont st.
in Toronto will be the mecca
of the bowlers and we'll wish
ing membership.
Re: Mixed Team Lineup
To be eligible for tourna-
ment play, a bowler must be
a member of the Croatian
Fraternal Union no less than
three months prior to the
start of the tournament. He
or she will be participating
in Singles, Doubles, Mixed
Doubles and 5-man Mixed
Team events.
The mixed team can con-
sist of no more than two
and not less than one wo-
man bowler; in short a
cOmbO of five men would
not be acceptable since they
would have a decided ad-
vantage.
Perhaps not the way some
of our fair sex keglers some
times clout the naples.
However these are the rules
of the Canadian Bowling AS
sociation and those Of the
Croatian Fraternal Union un-
der which we operate.
