\ November 12, 1947 Verhovay Journal PAGE 9 Bowling News and Scores SIX MOKE MONTHS . . . With- only six more months to go, Verhovay’s bowlers are feverishly training for the Fifth Verhovay National Bowling Tournament to be held in Cleveland, 0., on May 14 to 16, 1948. The officers and bowlers o^Branch 14, undoubterffy, are up to the neck in preparations about which we surely will hear from our friend J. J. Horvath, in the near future. Entries for the Tournament are to be mailed to the Home Office on or before March 15th, 1948, midnight, which is still four and a half months away, but smart bowlers will not wait that long with informing us of their intentions. In fact, with more than 100 teams expected ta participate, it is to be desired that National Auditor John Sabo be not swamped on the last date with scores of entries and, therefore, we request our bowlers to keep the approaching deadline date in mind, and act a month or two before its arrival. In the meantime there is plenty to do. Preparation for the bowlingtourney consists not only of bowling, for even the best bowlers have to get there in order to be able to win one or more of the some 125 awards and trophies. It is only fair not to expect the bowlers to foot the entire bill of transportation, hotel and other expenditures. After all, - the winnings teams will certainly boost their hometown branches and, therefore, they, too, should be given a lift in addition to the pat on the shoulder bestowed upon them by the elders of their branches. Now is the time to make preparations for affairs the proceeds of which could be used to cover the expense# of the teams participating in the National Tournament. Such affairs can be successful only if they are prepared, well publicized and carefully organized, ahead of time. (The Journal is open for publicity purposes with the restriction, o’f course, that bingo-bunco-banco and similar games of Mme. Fortune cannot be advertised through the mails. So please, don’t mention any of such games in your announcements the publishing of which is strictly prohibited by the authorities!) The season of banqueting and dancing is on hand. Let’s make the most of it! Our bowlers will do well to get together with the officers of their branches to make plans for such affairs now, in order that the money may be available then, when the team is ready to depart for Cleveland. Now is the time, also, for organizing bowling teams in those branches which have not yet made any effort to engage in sports activities. Get together, readers of the Journal, in these branches and join the bowling parade. Don’t be afraid that you may not win an award due to lack of previous bowling experience. Bowling is as unpredictable a sport as fishing: often the novice does better than the expert. So, let us hear/about your plans and doings and don’t let the fall slip by without getting started. DETROIT, MICH. Branch 3b. Branch 36-ers have a Women’s team and they are doing well, indeed. Bowling with the Fort Park- Ladies League, they were second on October 4th, with 13 points to their credit, 3 less than the leading team. With 9 games won and 6 lost they are striving hard toward the top. Highest individual average in the league as of above date was 153 for 15 games. Captain Julia Konkoly is near the top with 142, th<#p comes Irene Kekes with 135, Mary Toth with 131, Anne Bely with 129, and Anne Putz with 127. Captain. Konkoly is fifth in the league with an Individual High Single or'181. With, six more months of training to go, the team will go far. Captain Konkoly submitted to the Journal the following scores: September 26, 1947; Anne Bely Irene Kekes Arme Putz Mary Toth ratic C team. Joe Toma paced the winners with a 529 series with assistance from his teammates Johnny Lane and Charlie Gruben. In spite of Johnny Duir’s improved showing for team C, the victory was still a runaway for team B. In the other match of the evening, team A made a bid to try to get out of the cellar. However, Boszilkov and Ste«e Sarka denied them any aid. Johnny Partman continued his high scoring and Johnny Vaught seems to be coming into form again after emerging from a prolonged slump. Individual honors were divided between Partman and Toma. Partman showed high game and Toro a had high series.

Branch 48 September 30, 1917 Paced by Johnny Lane’s 550 and consistent bowling by Joe Toma and Charlie Gruben, Team B defeated the highly vaunted team of Johnny Vaught, Johnny Partman, and Eddie Mills as Br. 48 opened its bowling season on September 30 at Fox’s Recreation in Astoria. This league is newly organized and is composed of many of the bowlers who rolled for Verhovay before the war. At present, we have four three-man teams operating, but we hope to expand as we go aluAg, and already several newcomers have joined the group. In the other match Al Ibos’ C team defeated George Boszilkovs’ D team in a close contest. The first game required a roll off as a result of a tie hut finally was won by team C. Matches are conducted on a handicap basis, and Br. 48 has donated a sizeable sum which will be used for the purchase of shirts for all members, as well as for prizes at the end of our season. Our matches are held on Mondays at 8:30 P.M. at Fox’s Recreation (Grand Avenue Station). For further information call J. Toma, RE 4-2787, or Ernie Nemeth, GR i 5-5985, or better still, come out to the alleys! (Astoria train to Grand Avenue station).

Branch 138 Our Branch has three bowlingteams entered in various leagues in the City of Gary, Ind., one “A” team with an average in the 900’s, one “B” team with an average in the 850’s and one “C” team with an average of 769. All in all twentyfive members of our branch are bowling in one league or another. Of this group we have managed to form four teams, qne A., one B„ and two C teams. We have invited several Verhovay branches to join us in single match games during the present bowling season. To date only one of the branches has accepted our b;d and arrangements are now under way to set the time .and place for the match. After the arrangements will have been completed, further details will be reported. In the meantime, we hope that other teams in the Chicago area will arrange and make dates for bowling match games with us. We will report our games as we bowl, so that others bowlers interested might get an idea of what we have. We also are pointing to Cleveland, O., and the Verhovay National Bowling Tournament. Branch 138 hopes to be well represented there. Requests for information or arrangements for match games will be gladly complied with; just drop October14, 1947 Cafferty 210 169196 575 M.

I BELIEVE that America will continue to follow Lincoln’s belief that the wealth and power which have accrued to the nation in our quest for freedom and equality is not an end in itself, but is a by-product, to be used as a means of furthering the quest. Our wealth and power cannot justify our democracy, before the nations of the world, now or ever. But our democracy can justify our wealth and power, by utilizing it in the quest for a better world for all men everywhere. We shall have failed of the historic destiny which Lincoln saw for us unless we recognize with him that, as he said, “The struggle of today, is not altogether for today — it is for a vast future also.’’ —Roy P. Basler If you can’t handle today, tomorrow isn’t going to be putty in your hands either. The average woman would rather be beautiful than intelligent because she knows that the average man can see far better than he can think. —Vt.-N. H. Echo. r
