and finished the season with q
mediocre average of 122.
This year Keckley moved up
to the Mems All-Star District
League with the Fair Lanes
team and is burning up this
duckpin circuit.
He used an impressive ACT
series last night to replace
Bobby Mayhem as the high
average bowler in the league.
Keckley's 467 marked the
third time in q row he has
posted high set. In his opening
performance two weeks ago he
blasted 397 and then turned in
a 431 last week.
With games of ISL, 172 and
l44, he helped Fair Lanes sweep
three games from Pla-Mor
Lanes and moved his team into
a first-place tie, 81, with Suit

was the only one registered in

A 3-year-old filly, jug Dream,

never in contention. Buddy

of the race from one to three
