\ / November 15, 1950 Verhovay Journal -CHICAGO SELECTED FOR THE 1951 BOWLING TOURNAMENT The Board of Directors recently handed down its decision regarding the site of the next Verhovay Ten Pin Bowling Tournament. Chicago, Illinois was (approved for 1951. The official dates will be May 5 and 6. The other city which put in a bid for the tournament was Trenton, New Jersey. We acknowledge with thanks the invitation of the Trenton committee. Shortly after the results of the voting were known the National Executive Tournament Committee, made up. of Chairman Dr. Andrew Kovács, Mike Ivorosy and Richard Phillips, and the Tournament Administrator John Sabo, made plans with the Chicago committee to visit the Windy City to begin immediately work on the 1951 bowling program. The committee had a very busy week end when it reached Chicago. Mr. Frank Balogh, temporary chairman of the Chicago Tournament Committee, met Dr. Kovács, Mike Korosy,and John Sabo at the LaSalle Station, Friday night, October 27. Richard Phillips telephoned from Ann Arbor, Michigan to report that his plane was grounded and that he would be unable to meet! with us. / Accompanied by three members of the Chicago Committee the National Executive Committee earnestly went to work visiting one bowling establishment after another, and hotels. Lakeview Recreation, 3239 North Clark Street, Chicago 13, Illinois was selected for the tournament. The establishment is in the Lakeview district in the Northside of Chicago. The proprietor of the alleys, Mr. John Jenkins, is married to Helen Teller of Hungarian descent. Agreements were made with Mr. Jenkins for the use of his fifty alleys. There are 20 alleys on the second floor and: thirty on the third. On the fourth floor are two beautiful spacious halls. Mr. Jenkins assured the Committee that the alleys would be in the finest condition for the tournament and that the best bowling pins would be used. Free parking facilities will be provided at the Tear of the alleys. A buffet style dinner will be held in the same building. According to Mr. Jenkins this buffet dinner will be hard to match anywhere — in fact he promised to hire several Hungarian cooks to give the food that special Hungarian seasoning. As for hotel accommodations the most suitable would be Hotel Sherman located in the downtown business district, Randolph Street at Clark. Negotiations arc still under way with the hotel management. Mr. Earl R. Benedict, Manager of the Convention Department, assured the National Executive Committee that the hotel would like to have us and the dates of May 4, 5 and tj are satisfactory However, no information could be given about room rates at this time because of the present uncertain economic conditions.
