PAGE 2 Verhovay Journal November 21, 1951 “FRIENDLY CITY”—COLUMRUS 0., TO BE HOST TO 1952 TOURNAMENT (Continued from page 1) easions, know that all this was not empty talk. The Verhovayans in Colum­bus mean what they say. 100 NEW MEMBERS IN COLUMBUS A membership drive for the purpose of securing at least One Hundred new members between now and the tournament is one of the proofs of what having the 1952 Tournament means to the Branch in Columbus. And the suc­cess of the drive is assured because it will be backed by all of the officers and members of Branch 129. Watch Branch 129 make the most of this opportunity for rapid growth by joint effort! THE TOURNAMENT THEATRE The facilities of modern, air conditioned Riverview Recreation, Inc., at 595 West Goodale St., Columbus, O., with thirty first class bowling alleys on one floor will be at the disposal of the Association for the two-day event. Tho friendly spirit of Columbus again came to the surface when our representatives opened negotiations with the management of the establish­ment. Mr. Robert Rothfuss, manager of the bowling alleys, and Mr. Gerald H. Taylor, Manager of the Riverview Restaurant, gave our representatives every assurance that the tournament will be a complete success, particularly since all of the drawbacks experienced in previous tournaments will be eli­minated due to the most up-to-date facilities and equipment being available at Riverview Recreation. Sincere thanks are due to the gentlemen of Riverview Recreation, Inc,, for their splendid courtesies. TOURNAMENT HEADQUARTERS The New DESHLER-Wallick Hotel at the intersection of Broad and High in the heart of the city, next to the capitol of the State of Ohio, is* something out of this world. Those who will attend the tournament, will remember their stay in this hotel not only for its beauty, the unmatched ex­cellence of its facilities, the inimitably friendly service, its reasonable prices, its unlimited comforts, but also for the memories of the happy hours to be spent in this new establishment. For this 1952 tournament will be different again from those in the past in that all social events and entertainment will bo held in the DESHLER-Wallick Hotel whose planners must have had the Verhovay Bowling Tournament in mind when making their designs. DESH­LER-Wallick Hotel calls itself “A Capital Convention Hotel in Ohio's Capi­ta) City” With good reason, too, for it is excellently equipped with ball­rooms, conference rooms and ample accommodations to extend complete ser­vice and all comforts for a gathering of the size of Yerhovay’s tournaments. Even in much larger cities we always have been haunted by the lack of available space, but not so in Columbus. The Crystal Hall Room in the DESH­LER-Wallick Hotel, surrounded by a marvellous balcony that in itself is an architectural achievement of unmatched beauty, has a banquet capacity of ROOD. Here the buffet dinner and Tournament Ball will be held on Sat­urday, May 31st, in the evening. The best Hungarian Gypsy orchestra available in the country will be en­gaged to furnish the music for the dance at the Tournament Ball as well as for the dance on the previous night. Hungarian cooks, specially to be engaged for this banquet, will create the delicious eatables to be served, — by the courtesy of the most hospitable hotel management tp be found on this side of the globe: that of DESHLER­­Wallick Hotel. One of the night clubs of the hotel, the air conditioned New Ionian Room will be turned over completely to the Verhovay for the dance on Friday night. May 30th. There will be room for everybody to dance, to enjoy the music, to spend a long evening in pleasure and good fellowship. No one will want to leave the DESHLER-Wallick Hotel for entertainment on either evening of the tournament. Everything will be handy, everything will take place* in the most pleasing surroundings and, at the end of the night, it will just take a few seconds by elevator to step into one of the thousand beautifully furnished rooms which will await the pleasure of the participants and guests of the 9th Verhovay Annual National Ten-Pin. Tournament. It is neither bragging nor an exaggeration to say that in the features of entertainment and accommodations this will be the classiest tournament the Verho ay ever had. That it has been made possible to make such exceptional!) pleasing and attractive arrangements is due to the unmatched courtesy of Mr. Robert L. Pfeiffer, Manager, and Mr. A. Starr Hull, Director of Sales of the DESH­LER-Wallick. Hotel. These gentlemen have proved themselves true repre­sentatives of the “spirit of Columbus”. Hospitality in this hotel is not just an advertising slogan but a fact as Dr. Kovács and Mr. Sabo had pleasant oc­casion to find out. And it is due to this that DESHLER-Wallick Hotel will lend i* ‘ elf as the splendid scene of the greatest, classiest, most enjoyable fraternal and social affairs ever attended not only by Verhovayans but all Americans of Hungarian descent. With arrangements such as these, the 9th / inual National Verhovay Tournament may well become a meeting ground not only for members of Verhovay, bowlers and non-bowlers alike, hut o' mwpy others outside the immediate circle of the Verhovay. COLUMBUS TO ROLL CARPET OUT FOR VERHOVAY In the fivegoing we have seen some of the reasons for which we call Coir ' S a “Friendly City”. It has shown itself a “Friendly City” in the enthusiastic hospitality and true fraternalism of the officers and members of Pi- ch 129, the exceptional courtesy of the management of Riverview Re­creat' n, Inc., and of the DESHLER-Wallick Hotel. But the “Spirit of Co­lum' i”',’' went even further than that. P-^cial mention must be made of the courtesy and helpful assistance of Mr Teseph Fodor, Attorney, former Assistant Attorney General of the State of 'V-:o, a man of high standing in the state as well as the capital city, and LAPSED FROM EXTENDED — AUGUST 31, 1951 SENIOR ORDER: 3 Krobock John; 14 Turos Elizabeth; 23 Balázs Bar­bara J. 29 Balázs Louis; 36 Derome Gc-orge, Wymer Mrs. Gordon; 45 Leszo Theodo*-\ Marwitz Paul D. 129 Johnson Gloria B.; 136 Tulo3 Frederick; 138 Dobroszkv Ferenc; 157 Stoikoff Stephen; 184 Jupin Margaret; 194 Bertok Mai" °t M.; 214 Egneiczi Edna M.; 216 Spaits Anna; 249 Kormosoy Vin­cent- 369 Szaniszlo James Jr.; 418 Demyan Alexander. r !TOR ORDER: 89 Seifried Willard; 134 Kovács Robert J. ’ Senior Order, 2 .Tumor Order Members, total 21 members. JOHN SABO, National Auditor. OFFICERS OF 50 YEAR OLD YOUNGSTOWN BRANCH Founded- August 25th, 1901, St. Stephen’s Branch 21, the former St. Ste­pson’s Society of Youngstown, Ohio., celebrated their Golden Anniversary at a highly successful banquet in St. Stephen’s Hall on Sunday, October 21st. The officers of the branch, serving 750 members, shown above, are, from left to right, sitting: Mrs. Gabor Cene, Vice-President, Augustus Habodasz, President, the Rev. Ft. John Vaskó, Hon. President, Joseph Danish, Manager, Mrs, John Polya, Auditor, and standing:1, Martin Bobovetz, bearer of the1 American Flag, John Bodzas, Auditor, Michael Cibulas, Recording- Secretary, Stephen Horvath, Sr., Auditor, and Gabor Cene, bearer of the Hungarian Flag. a member of Branch 129. His continued courtesy and assistance to the Fxi^utive Tournament Committee in the arrangements for the Tournament gives the success of our enterprise an added measure of assistance. Then there is Mr. Arthur G. Frank, Executive Director of the Columbus Convention Bureau, Inc., whose keen and helpful interest in the plans for thd tournament gave the final touch to our assurance that Columbus really is rolling the carpet out for the Verhovay. It is through his good offices that publicity and news covei-age will be given the Verhovay Bowling Tournament in the daily press of Columbus. With all this help, surely, Columbus will be “Verhovay conscious” for at least the two days of the 9th Annual Tournament and that, in turn, should prove a big help to Branch 129 in attaining its goal of at least 100 new members! BOWLERS PREPARE FOR COLUMBUS! Thus having laid the gi-oundwoi-k for what should be the largest and most successful tournament in the history of the Verhovay as well as the biggest, classiest and most enjoyable fraternal and social event ever spon­sored in the world of Americans of Hungarian descent, the Executive Tour­nament Committee — Consisting of Vice-President Dr. Andrew Kovács, chair­man, Richard J. Phillips and Gay B. Banes, directors, and John Sabo, Na­tional Auditor, Administrator — by unanimous consent submitted its findings and recommendations to the Board of Directors who, voting by mail, gave Their approval to the entire project with the sincere wishes that its outcome should be successful beyond the fondest expectations. It is the sincere hope of the Board of Directors, the National Officers and the Executive Tournament Committee as well as all of the officers and members of Branch 129, Columbus, 0-, that every bowling team in the Asso­ciation will be represented in the 1952 tournament, including our bowling friends in New York and other points east as well as in Los Angeles! Let this be one Verhovay Ten-Pin Tournament at which all of our bowlers w-ilb meet! Let’s forget differences in opinion, preferences and whatever rea­sons may have held back some teams from each tournament in the past. This tournament will be too good to miss! Let’s make plans right now and stick to them and let’s make it a date: all bowlers and bowling fans will meet! on May 30th and 31st, 1952, in Columbus, Ohio, the “Friendly City”. It was with this in mind that the Executive Committee agreed on the date selected for the next Tournament. With Memorial Day occuring on Friday and the tournament concluding on Saturday, most, if not all, of the participants will find it possible to stay for the big event on Saturday night and (hen return in comfort on Sunday, June 1st. RULES AND REGULATIONS The Rules and Regulations of the 9th Annual Verhovay National Ten- Pin Touimament appeal* elsewhere in this issue. Though thei-e have been no major changes, it is suggested that all bowlers study them carefully and keep them for future reference. At the last tournament, all of the partici­pating teams did a wonderful job in complying with the Rules and Regula­tions and we hope that next year, with an even bigger and better tourna­ment- in prospect, this will be the case again. In the meantime, any questions that may ai'ise in refei-ence to the 1952 tournament, will be cheei-fully answered by our Tournament Administrator, Mr. John Sabo, National Auditor*, Verhovay Building, 436 Fourth Avenue, Pittsburgh, 19, Pa. More information and further details will be forthcoming in due time. Until then, this outline of the plans and arrangements will be sufficient, we hope, to convince all bowlers and bowling fans that attendance at the 9th Annual. Verhovay National Ten-Pin Tournament on May 30-31, 1952, in Co­lumbus, O., is a MUST, because no other activity of our Association contri­butes more to the fostering and furthering of true fraternalism among our membership than our annual bowling tournaments. That this is so is due chiefly to those faithful bowlers who, year after year, make every effort and sacrifice to be present wherever the big competition for the Verhovay Na­tional Bowling Championship is being held. We hope that on May 30-31, 1952, we will meet each and every one of these faithful tournament partici­pants whose fraternal loyalty has helped make the annual Verhovay Tourna­ments an institution of ever increasing popularity and significance.
