Young Eddie Owens. ranked
No. 2 among the areas duck
Primers, scored the first major
/ victory Of his career last night
in winning the Clarendon Open,
and he did it in a manner
that BODIES no good for future
rivals.
Yet, in the matter Of scoring,
he was outdone by a young UNI
known who won the Ricky
Harrison Memorial Handicap
at Rockville. Bruce Secrist of
Martinsburg. w. Va. rolled
7l3 from scratch for five games
to take that event.
Heretofore, Owens has been
plagued by streaks Of splits
that ruined his chances to win
the big ones. In the Clarendon
Open he rolled almost flaw
lessly to produce a seven-game
score of 951 for an average
of 1856. worth 5000.
Except in two instances. his
spare shooting was perfect. He
picked a two-pin break and,
in the very last box, fouled in
knocking off a single.
The 951 withstood two excit-
ing challenges, with Johnny
Mandes finishing second, two
pins away, and Fosco Fattorini
tying with Norman Titus for
third at 931. Fourth, with 926,
was. Bill Bursey. the defending
champion.
Among the late flnishers were
Mandes and Fattorini. Each
came to the final game needing
a fat score to overtake Owens,
and both gave it a spunky try.
Fattorini opened with four
straight marks and wound up
with a 149. In the 10th frame
he struck on a spare and barely
missed a double on the strike
count.
Mandes spared in the eighth
and ninth. In the 10th, with a
mark meaning almost certain
victory. hard luck hit him. The
first ball left UP four pins.
Mandes' shot for the spare
seemed perfect, but a hidden
pin remained up.
Owens games were 155, 113,
125 (393), 1877, 148, 149 (434
and 1874. He topped a field Of

tries to root them out.

some in Thursday nights

Uline Arena. He's down for q
match with Clarence Ellis, a
stout-hearted st. Joseph Club
representative. and it should be
one Of the programs features.
Built like a miniature foot
ball tackle, CARRIER carries
knockout drops in both hands.
But his most persuasive weap-
on, outside the ring. is a soft
voice, an understanding of
youths problems, and a deep
interest in his work.
