ment scheduled for st. Louis,
Mo-, May Is through 18, 1858,
get more frequent and the
ticking louder, we want to
continue the "agoism" of this
tournament which was first
penned thirteen months ago.
Recounting the places, the
persons and the scores of
yesteryear will but bear out
that there is nothing to COM
pare with a fraternal tourna-
ment.
Continuing therefore in this
vein, it will be recalled that
the C.F.U. ESL Tournament
as it was then known took
place at the Knights of Co.
lumbus Alleys, Fifth Avenue
and Madison Street in Gary,
Indiana.
The dates were April 10
and II, 1887, and the host
ship was entrusted to the
"Croatian Sons and Daugh-
ters" Lodge 727 of that
city.
The tournament had grown
and for the first time opened
it's doors to senior lodges, al.
though their delegates did not
have a vote in the tournament
administration.
There was also another
first" that of a women's di-
vision in this tournament.
Z States Represented
Seven states were represen.
ted, Kansas City, Kansas, be-
ing the Westernmost point

Thirty ESL teams, 70 mems

f ty teams participating
Having existed at that line OF
demarcation, recognized ther
were two sets of champions ir
each division.
The Pioneers mems team
of Lodge 663 of Cleveland
as ESL champions bowled
the first 1000, and exactly
SO, game as they totalled
2738 pins. Progress men of
Lodge 749, Chicago, the de-
Tending champions, two
traight years, earned Sec
ond place with 1851 pins.
The Gary ESL Lodge III
girls copped the first women''
title on 2075 pins; the May

The first half ended De-

top division teams registering
clean sweeps though not one
was in a position by winning
SO to effect a change in their
respective team standings.
The titlists, the Orchids,
posted a 1910 record, the
Irises in second place one of
34-10 and the third place
Roses brambled to a 24-24
status. The second division
was made up of the Violets,
Lilacs and the Tulips.
Interesting notes of the

high scores that touched al.
most every team. The Irises

stall. In their anxiety to get
possession of the ball, the
team committed costly fouls
and the winners capitalized.
The bright spot of our sea-
son was the win over st.
Francis inasmuch as the To-
sers had beaten st. Bridget, a
club which had won over us.
The score was knotted 1918
at the half in a game that saw
forty seven fouls called. Being
at a height disadvantage, we
used a full court press on the
tall st. Francis outfit and this
paid dividends in the final tai
ly. The under basket of Joe
Hertzig, Jim Kresnik and
Bob Mccormack has been
good to date while Jim Kros

ST. LOUIS, Mo. - After
being swamped in their first
game, the Klaric Contracting
five warmed up in the second
game and really went to work
in the third game as they
blasted a new team single of
1919. Fassi Tavern held the
old mark of 1909.
In posting this mark, Emil
Ivankovich fired a 234 game,
John Klaric had a PIT, Gerald
Mulch had a 211, Ralph Ra-
detich a 1873, and John Mulch,
a 1859 game. This new-record
game enabled the Klarics to
grab the odd game from the
John Stygar and Sons five.
Leading his teammates,
Gerald Mulch fired a 211-542
series and Emil Ivankovich
assisted with a 234-520 series.
For the John Sugar team,

207, for the winners.
Moydell, taking the third
slot, BANKED the Chulick five
