Ruehl Is Acquitted

w. Ewald Ruehl, summer cottage
owner on Deep Creek Lake, and
formerly of Cumberland, was ac-
quilted Tuesday in the Circuit
court here on charge of receiving
stolen goods.
The decision was handed down
by Associate Judge Neil c. Fra
ley after hearing evidence the lat
ter part of December and studying
memorandums submitted by at
torneys for both parties.
W. Dwight Slower, Oakland, and
William A. Gunter, Cumberland,
represented Ruehl while s. r. Pa
genhardt, former states attorney,
presented the states case.
Ruehl was charged with receiv-
ing stolen goods Isl, 500 for
lingering" the $17500 theft from
the home of Lee A. Green in La
Vale, in October of 1949
In handing down the decision
Judge Fraley stated that the state
had failed to produce evidence
that the defendant had received
Is 500 bills from the Green safe.
The judge noted that the state
failed to produce evidence that
Green even had any 500 bills in
his safe at the time of the theft.
Judge Fraley noted that the only
evidence produced by the state was
a statement given out of court by
the defendant that he assumed"
the money was Green's.
During the hearing Judge Fraley
also ruled in favor of a defense
motion that testimony in a civil
suit in Baltimore county could not
be admitted as evidence in the
criminal trial. Lee Green had won
a verdict from Ruehl in Baltimore
county in civil action.
The Green-Ruehl court battle
has been waging for a number of
years since Green's safe was
cracked in his LaVale home. Ruehl
had been employed by Green and
the latter claimed that on the night
of the theft he (Green) and his
wife and stepdaughter saw Ruchl
along U. s. route 40 in LaVale as

Stage Being Set For April Running Of
Senior, Junior Duckpin Championships
Pittsburgh Will Be Scene In Spring OF
Annual Battles For PeeWee Pin LaUrels

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Two
events appear on the horizon
circumscribing the c. F. U.
duckpin realm. Being remind
ed of same may do some good
even among the dyed-in-wool
duckpinners and we beg your
indulgence if you already
have taken steps to enroll for
the tournaments.
The first of which events
is the Junior Dux TOurna-
ment to be held at the Penn
Lanes, 942 Penn Avenue,
Pittsburgh, Pa, Saturday
afternoon, April 18, 1859.
Partaking of it will be at a
minimum expense to the par
ents. The Home Office is do
mating the trophies, paying
for the Juniors bowling, and
making an appropriation to
the Juniors Bowling Party
which follows after the bowl
ing to climax a wholesome
fraternal affair.
Entry blanks were mailed
and others will follow in due
time to give the Western
Pennsylvania area full COW
erage.
A week later the second
gathering, all seniors, takes
place at the same bowling
emporium over the April a.
1926, 1859, weekend. These
entry blanks have also been
well distributed, a goodly
number having gone out with

AS the 23rd Annual Duck
pin Tournament, it merits
your support to a better de-
gree than reading the official
organ on how others enjoy
their C.F.U. membership to a
fuller extent. Please bear in
mind the April 5, 1859 dead
line set for registering your
entry.
Also worthy of your
consideration, especially if
you have been a tourna-
ment host to but one of the
previous twenty-five run
nings, is the matter of
faithfully supporting the
Victory Banquet and Dance
which the Pitpa Lodge FOG
is planning for Sunday eve

Second Cleveland AIIFamiIy Tourney
Found Young And Old Enjoying Pin Life
Tourney Most Unique Such Event In That
Champs Cannot Look Forward To SSS Prizes

CLEVELAND, Ohio - The
Second Annual CFU ALI
Family Bowling Tournament
held here over the weekend
of February Z and 8, 1859,
was a grand success and even
before the curtain came down
Mrs. Anna Rescic, Manager
of Nest 55 and the originator
Of this event, laid plans for
a bigger and better tourna-
ment for 1860.
Probably the only event of
its kind in the CF'U where no
money is handed out to the
winners, only trophies prov
vided by the Home Office and
the alley management, this
tenpin get-together made up
in the spirit and good time
had by all in attendance.
As our Johnny "Jay-Bee"
BadOvinac mentioned in his
February bulletin, "The
Amer. .-Croatian Pioneer, it
was nice to see the mamas
and papas, and sisters and
brothers bowling together
and also see the kids out
doing their elders and hav-
ing a good time doing it.
Maybe, with a few more of
these tournaments and with
the kids who are rapidly get
ting to the age Of transferring
into the various local senior
lodges, the once popular and
active Cleveland Mems Bowl
ing League could be revived,
or better still, a Mixed or Ball
and Chain League.
Kleps Clipped 1924
Coming back to the bowl
ing end of the Second Annual
c. F. U. All-Family Bowling
Tournament, Helen Kleps of
Lodge SO and her son, Robert
of Nest IS, had the honors
of rolling the highest duo
scores Of this tournament
with a whopping 1894 total
to nose out the defending
champions of last year, Kathy
and Ronnie Mclean.
They shot a respectable
total of 1851 only to have the
sole glory Of bowling the
second highest total in this
tourney and still not be a
winner.
Josephine Bilicic and he-r
lovely daughter, Andrea, sue
cessfully defended their lau-
rels in the Mother-Daughter
division by rolling a combined
total of 1888 pins.
And not to be outdone,
in the same family. Joe
Babe" Bilicic and another
daughter, Ann Marie, top
ped the Father-Daughter
group with their surprising
/ 1141 total.
We may also add that both
Andrea and Ann Marie Bilicic
are attractive twin-sisters and
along with another pair of
Bilicic's, Judy and Bonnie, &C
tive daughters of we'll known
Frank and Ann Bilicic, should
hold up the Bilicic name in
Cleveland CF7U Bowling for
q long time to come.

In the special division for
odd bowlers with no relation
ship, Tom Grubach, Jr., and
George Muser combined their
efforts for a winning total of
1885 with Moose Muser
blasting a neat 234 game for
the highest in the tourney.
Pretty Arlene Skorich
had herself a high single
game of 219 and Ronnie
Mclean a rousing 200 for
special prizes for Junior
Bowlers.

of all bowling which was We
ry we'll attended by all CFU
Lodges here in Cleveland and
especially from Euclid. a
group headed by Matt Nor
sich and Barbara Baron.
While on this subject, we
may add our comment to the
final kolo routines put on by
the Euclid Juniors after the
banquet program, which is a
credit to Mrs. Jean Russ, the
kClo instructress.
Who's Who of CFU
