VOL. XXXIV. MAY 16. 1951 NO. 5 DETROIT BR. 500 MEN’S TEAM CLEVELAND BR. 366 WOMEN WIN CHAMPIONSHIP IN TOURNAMENT — Complete Prize List and Tournament Story To Be Published In next Issue. — Due to the fact that the 8th Verhovay National Bowling Tournament ended! just two days before the closing date of this issue, if was impossible to make this our usual TOURNAMENT EDITION. Neither the checking of the scores had been completed, nor are any of the pictures taken of the event are ready yet, but even if that would not be the case, it would be impossible to put the entire tournament material in print within two days. So we request' our bowlers’ and Howling fans' indulgence until the June issue of the Journal/ which will be our special TOLRNAMENT ^EDITION, featuring the complete* prize list, the story of the events surrounding this most successful tournament a;id all the other data that are of interest to those who attended this year’s great event in Chicago. At this time we can only announce the five leaders on each event. The data still are subject to revision though it may be assumed that they are correct.
