BOWLING
WITH ROD THOMAS

For years Becky Burrows,
whose husband, Dave, is a past
president of the National Duck
pin Congress, dreamed of shoot
ing a 400 set and gold medal
game of ITS.
Last night, rolling for the
Falls Church Bowl team in the
Northern Virginia Women's
Circuit League at Clarendon.
she realized both ambitions.
In the first game of a match
in which her team shut out the
host Clarendon Bowl lineup she
fired a 179 and with other
strings Of lis and 106 hit 400
on the nose.
Highlighting the 179 was a
triple strike in the last three
boxes, with a 10-count on the
third. There were two other
strikes and a couple Of spares.
The 179 set q league record.
The previous high was 174
rolled by Beauty Logan Of
Penn-Daw.
So &&
Two clutch performances by
anchor men kept the Metropol-
itan Circuit League leaders,
Clarendon Trust and Pizza
Bucket, in a deadlock.
Clarendon won the deciding
game from Coca Cola by two
pins when Ray Maddox, need
ing eight, got nine. Three Of
the Cokes marked in the final
frame while two Of the Bankers
blew two breaks.
"It looked as If we tried to
give them the game" laughed
Bob Snyder, Clarendon cap
tain, land they wouldn't take
it," One Of the Cokes whacked
a deuce on a mark.
Pizza Bucket, which won
from Foley Ford. lost the first
by one stick, COL to 900. Billy
Lewis, Pizza anchor threw a
17-pin spare in the 10th box
which left his rival, John
Chayka, needing 20 for victory.
Chayka spared and struck on
the count.
Clarendon Trust and Pizza
Bucket will have 1t out next
Wednesday in o match at
Mount Rainier, Pizza's home
plant.
The evenings high scorer
was Ernie Brown of Becker

the final victory for the de-
cisive edge.
At 185 pounds, he spotted
about Is to AL Jenkins, a hulk
ing foundry worker from Green
Bay, Wis, and hammered out q
three-round decision - bobbing
and weaving, and using the
peek-a-boo style of his famed
brother.
Rays victory averted an 8-8
deadlock and gave New York its
10th triumph against 16 losses
and eight draws in the series,
Chicago won last year in Madi-
son Square Garden. 12-4.
Floyd, who said he drove in
from New York in IA hours,
was bounded by autograph
hunters when he appeared late
in Chicago Stadium. He was
given o round Of applause by
the 8,026 fans. He sat in the
ring-Side press row, watching
his brother without expression
and with his hands folded be-
fore his face.
II think Ray should turn pro
in about q year." Floyd said.
"I don't think it's good for
him to be an amateur too long.
I'll manage him.
"If anyone kicks about me
being the manager, then I'll
get some one to be a front
man but I'll be the real mana
ger. I don't know why any
one wouldn't approve Of q
brother managing his own
brother.
II think Ray will be every
bit as good as me, and possibly
become the No. / challenger, /"
Floyd continued. Wouldn't
that be something II the two
Of US fought for the cham
pionship some day?"
