BOWLING
ROD THOMAS

Larkin Sonny Weldon de-
|clares that next season he's going
all out for tenpins, although his
career as a duckpinner has been
among the brightest. Something
may happen tonight to re-
establish Sonny's relish for the
little-ball game-that is. II he
doesn't despiSe money.
If Weldon beats Gerry Stair
lon Duckpin Derby at WMAL-TV
tChannel Z. 1920 o'clock, the
victory will be worth at least $50.
III he shoots a game Of 165 or
better, and Stair doesn't. it will
be worth $500.
That's the jackpot which has
been building at the rate Of $50
a week since the program was
Iinaugurated. The pot started
with 5000.
Six times Stair has attempted
to crack it. Five times he's
rolled 140 or better and twice $50
even. The two l50s were in the
last two matches, in which he
rolled 404 and 4l0.
Although Gerry has missed the
Jackpot. Duckpin Derby has been
lucrative. His six victories net
ted $3.50 and in the two 400s he
earned $40. at IS a stick for all
over 400. That's total Of $3.50.
Working for him now is the
law OF averages. his familiarity
with the lanes and other condi-
tons.
Except for one lapse. Gerry
has improved steadily. In the
first and second matches he
rolled 376s. then 1893, $50. 404
and 40. Thus, for Is games he's
averaged four pins short Of l29,
which is a deal higher than any
league average in the area and
about four points above Gerry's
normal pace.
TOnight's winner will clash
next Friday with Norman Titus,
ranked seventh in the area with

to speculation that the other

Something might materialize,

If the State Supreme Court
does not overturn the commits

Herzfeld for $2.5 million.
Last season Tropical Park
drew 28l,275 patrons between
November % and January l6.
Their wagers totaled $35, $685.

The Racing Commission found
Tropical Park and its president
guilty Of charges that SHERMAN
bet on credit at the tracks pari-
mutuel department. let the cor
poration telephone be used TO
communicate racing information,
allowed the phones use by I'M
authorized persons and, with
Maurice j., Hirshstein, an en-
ploye. telephoned racing infor-
nation to "a convicted book
maker and gambler. It also held
that Hirshstein failed to obtain
an occupational license and pro-
vide fingerprints and photograph
as a track employee.
The commission found moot
and OF no consequence a charge
that Hirshstein associated during
the period of the race meeting
with persons known as book
makers or criminals. It said evil
dence was insufficient to sustain
allegations that SHERMAN had
such associations.
The commission ordered that
Hirshstein be denied "the priv
lilege Of attending any pari-
mutuel operation in this State. .
Asked how he felt about the
commission action. SHERMAN
said, "Oh. I'll be all right. How
can they be so vicious? never
did any harm to anybody that
I know Of"
HirshStein said: This is the
most terrible thing that ever
happened to me ;. I just can't
believe it's true"

Anthony, the quicker Of the

Volunteer help, trucks, spread
ers and a truck with disk is
wanted for the grassing project

Ia. The spillway area, a large
north cut area and the back slope
of the fill are to be grassed.
The work will start at 100 p.
m. Sunday and workers with
forks should report to the project.

by the Yellowstone Livestock
Commission Company and will be
trucked to the lake from the
yards. According to Sportsmen's
Club President Rex Smelser, two
or three dump trucks and two or
three spreader trucks are want
ed. The flat areas can be covered
by the spreader truck and the
back slope will have to be spread

areas. Volunteers can contact
Smelser or Past President Waldo
Merrill for further information.
Grass will be seeded following
the fertilizer and disking work.
Occident Elevator is furnishing

Los Angeles, the third largest
city in the United States, is the
most attractive to tourists for one
reason because Hollywood is a
part of it. The temperature hits
80 above in the daytime and drops
to 1922 above at night, which is
like 10 above here and chills one

Orchardists in the Los Angeles
area have to set out smudge pots
at night to protect their fruit on
