OF Junior Pin Rebates

Pittsburgh, Pa. - With the
several tournaments Gaping
sectional activity, we desire
to close as completely and as
soon as possible the Society's
1956-1957 bowling season.
With this in mind, we call
attention to the fact that the
Croatian Fraternal Uni o n
since the TX Convention in
Philadelphia in 1855 has re-
imbursed Juniors, who bowl
with a sanctioned team or
league to the extent of ten
cents ($.10) per game. We
ask that nest managers, lea
que secretaries and lodge
sports directors cooperate in
making application early, ra-
ther than have applications
straggle in during the ensu-
ing months.
The final league average
and standings sheet, Jun
iors' certificate number and
nest affiliation must accom-
pany the application for this

ment.
Please mail information and
pertinent application for

cepted with enthusiasm, for
a total of sixteen members
from Lodges 876 and 900 and
Nest 282 are engaged in lea

Softba|I Teams Urged
To Join Proposed Loop

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Within
the space Of few weeks we
have received two notices
one from Chuck Koker ir
Youngstown, o., and the
other from Walter Bedict
from Farrell, Pa. They paral.
lei each other in that they
pertain to stirring softball &C.
tivity among our Lodges and
Nests.
Both are anxious to have
a home and home series with
other strictly C.F.U. teams.
Walter Bedich goes one
step further in asking that
a C.F.U. Softball League
be attempted with the G.
F. U. Sports-Educational
Department in Pittsburgh
setting up the league play
which of course would best
be Saturday and Sunday.
While we can and do invite
as many lodges as can posi-
bly, field teams, we should
have at least q four team
league. A $500 or $4,000
forfeit deposit would be ex-
pected, the money to purchase
trophies in the eyes of Walter
Bedich.
We from the Department
feel that . portion Of this
money on deposit would be
returned to the teams fin
ishing the schedule.
We are asking that lodges
within reasonable distance of
Farrell or Pittsburgh contact
us Immediately in order that
C.F.U. softball activity be
placed on a level somewhat
nearer to what it was in the
years now a memorable past.

Director Michael Grasha who
participated in the awarding
of trophies to the winners. So
hats off to all the winners,
both in the junior and senior
divisions.
So there you have it, a.
mother edition to the long list
Of CFU ten-pin tournaments.
Along with renewing old &C.
quaintances, we also had the
pleasure Of meeting new
friends, especially many in
and around surroundings like
Akron, Canton, Massillon,
Warren, Youngstown, etc.
So, with the 1858 ten-pin

been started here in Cleve-

So, as parting remarks,
hope you all had a good time

of our out-of-t town visitors as
comfortable as possible. Take
it away, you good folks in

The Nest IS juniors Of Cle-
veland took just about every
thing In sight in the Juvenile
Division. For the 4th straight
year, teams from Nest IS
took top honors in both the
boys and girls five-men
events. Our Nest IS girls won
the title five times out Of the
six last Journeys missing out
only 1858 and that by only a
few pins.
In the Doubles, Johnny Fu-
duric and r. Hrnyak won the
Junior Doubles title and John
ny Hrnyak was tops in the
Junior Singles. Johnny also
had a 200 game. Pretty Ar
lene Skorich and Francine
Longar are the Junior Girls
Doubles Champions for 1857
and Arlene Skorich copped
the Junior Singles honors.
Francine Longar chalked up
a nice 164 game.
The junior champions were
feted at their own banquet
at Hotel Manger on Saturday
evening and it was reported
that this all-junior affair was
a huge success and well at

While we can safely say
that the 1861 seasons were

Bay Area, yet, since we've
been around these events for
years, we see that there is
need for more dynamic ap-
proach to bowling and enlist
ing new bowlers in the C.F.U.
Ranks.
Many old rules and regula-
tions need change-we need
lot red-tape eliminated as well
as more fraternal approach
to conduct bowling-and less
stubborn tacnicalities and tac-

ries, who too often forget
that C.F.U. bowling is first

rest is secondary.

Lodge 80 Member Among Many Who Took
Everything In Stride During Big Meet

CL E V E L A N D, Ohio -
Now that the CFU National

Cleveland during the first
weekend in May, has become
history, I would like to COM
ment on it's management.
Knowing to some extent
the immense amount of
planning and the thousands
of details -- many of them
unexpected - that 90 into
a large affair of this kind,
1t behooves me to commend
the pioneers" Lodge 663
of Cleveland on the splen-
did job performed by the
membership.
With minor crises and
emergencies cropping up peri
odically, these members did
Trojan work in meeting all
problems competently and
with good humor.
It would be difficult to sim
gle out any one person as the
indispensable in divi d u al.
However, under the capable
leadership of John Badovinac

and although the weathere
was cool. 1t was suitable for
bowling.
The social events connected
with the tournament got off
to a good start with an over
flow crowd enjoying them
selves at st. Nicholas Church
Hall on Superior Ave. Friday
evening.
Then on Saturday evening,
both halls of Slovenian Audi
torium on lower st. Clair
Avenue were filled to capacity
with the huge throng enjoy
ing themselves to the dance
tunes furnished by Eddie
Habat's Polka Band and Zvo-
ninir Tamburitza Orchestra.
But, oh behold, now we
come to the sour note of the
social calendar Of the 23rd
ten-pin tournament - 1.-The
foodless banquet"
This writer has never been
a critic of any past Journeys
but we hate to say and COM
ing from the pen of a member
of the local tournament COM
mittee, we will venture to say
that this was one Of the sour
est banquets ever attended in
the many attended by this
writer connected with these
shindigs. And we believe ma
ny others, local and out-of-
towners as well, will testify
to this.
This colunnnist, along with
the rest of the Cleveland
tourney committee, are very
much bitter about the turn
out of the banquet only after
the cook, hired for this re-
sponsibility, at the meeting
prior to the tournament, pro-
missed the local committee
everything but the kitchen
sink.
And now the aftermath.
This is the fourth tournament
of which the Cleveland Pho
neers were the hosts and we
can safely testify that this is
the first banquet in which
food - that's the stuff our
bowlers and our people crave
for after such an undertaking
- was deserted before any
sufficient number Of people
had Z chance to make their
appearance at the banquet
table.
More embarrassing than
ever was the fact that our
lovely mattresses were shoul-
dered with the words mo
more" only = few moments
after proceeding with serving
food for what was expected
to be tho best banquet ever.
While we are still penning
the unhappy side Of the tour
ney - the banquet, ws may
pass the word to all our read.
ers that our April meeting Of
the Pioneers, one Of tho stor-
miest in the history Of our
lodge, was attended by the
cook responsible for the food
and what transpired at this
meeting we could not print
due to the lengthy discussion
of this unhappy matter.
AS we mentioned above,
this was the fourth ten-pin
tournament for the Pioneers,
many Of it's members who |
helped serve on the three
previous Journeys held in Cle-
veland, and we can safely
write that this is the first
banquet In which we expert
enced that the cupboards
were bare 50 early in the eve
ming.
It's a proven fact after the
debacle of the last Pioneer
meeting that there was not
enough of food prepared for
the figure given to the party
responsible in the kitchen.
q
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1957-06-19

expected to attend the ban
quet.
However, we will admit
that the food prepared, little
that there was, was well done
and this we learned from the
few lucky ones that got some
thing to eat. I mean the few
fortunate ones. It was too
bad that it was too late to
do anything about this shor-
tage of food although we did
learn that more food was
rounded up In the neighbor-
hood at the last moment but
it was short for the many
empty stomachs.
The Pioneer tourney COM
mittee regrets the disappoint-
ment caused at the banquet
to our many friends, especial
ly to our out-of-towners who
look forward to a good meal
before their journey back
home. You all can be assured
that this was q bitter pill to
swallow as far as the local
committee was concerned.
The bowling end of the
tournament went along rather
well although we noted very
many bowling schedule chan
ges which didn't help the te-
dious work of our tournament
secretary, Frank Braidic.
We will say this that Frank
did 4 yeoman job and yet
much Of the blame, that's if
anything goes wrong, was
leveled at the secretary. We
were surprised that most Of
the schedule changes were
made for the Cleveland and
surrounding bowlers, reasons
for which we still are in the
dark.
Another unhappy note was
the heavy Saturday mems
schedule which began early in
the morning and lasted
throughout past midnight.

were unable to get more bowl
ing time on Friday evening
only because = huge league
bowling at the downtown es-
tablishment for over 30 years
refused to double up on their

The happy note of the tour
nament a. far as the local
rooters were concerned was

sounding 1891 actual total.
This was In the Mems Scratch
