PAGE 10 Verhovay Journal March 19, 1952 ■■■■■■■ Verhovay Watchtower By JOS. J. HORVATH — Cleveland, 0. iiiKissiiiiBiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiaiiiBiiiBs^siaB Two more months and the national tournament is here again. But we look forward to it. Again, we want to see our friends from other years. Maybe let our hair down a little bit? Personally I’ll be glad to see everbody, and if the tournament brings just one ounce of happiness to any of our members, it is worthwhile. So let us all try to be happy. Nicholas Yuhas, seccretary of Bi’anch 14, is the new manager of the Verhovay Home. Ann Biro Balogh, former writer of the column “Mystricky” in the Verhovay Journal, gave birth to a boy about a month ago. Her husband Louis was at Doctors Hospital with a back ailment. He has recovered and is resting at their new home in Lyndhurst, Ohio. John Knapp has been sick, but he asserts that you can’t keep a good man down. Mrs. Carl Pertz is recuperating from a long illness. Carl is keeping his fingers crossed. It has been a tough grind for the Pertzes. Carl Karnya said that he left fame ; and fortune in Maple Heights, Ohio. Election of officers at the Verhovay Sports Club was held Sunday, February 17, 1952. The results were: Joseph Semetko, President, Joseph J. Horvath, Vice-President, Oscar Federay Financial Secretary, Frank “ Oravis, Chairman Entertainment Committee and Storekeeper, Carl Pertz and Jake Torda, Sargents at Arms. Anthony Pinter was elected temporary chairman to run off the election. Mrs. Joseph Bodnar was temporary secretary. Our former president, Steve “Susie” Piscalko, thanked the members for their cooperation during his term of office. All members attending the meeting received applications for membership into the Sports Club, which must be signed by the applicant and his sponsor. But that does not mean applicant is already a member. A vote must be taken and a clear three-fourth majority of the members present must be given to the apjdicant I was asked where the tourna- | ments have been held. I replied, “Pittsburgh, McKees Rocks, Cleveland, Detroit, South Bend, Youngstown, Chicago, and now Columbus.” 1 think I missed some place ? Editor, please verify. (Mr. Horvath is entirely right. — Ed.) The Verhovay Sports Club card party was quite successful because our chairman Frank Oravis is energetic. He himself brought eleven door prizes and there was plenty. A nice crowd, sprinkled with young and old, representatives from Branch 366, Branch 14 and the Social Club, were there At least 60% of the Sports Club member's showed up. Aromatic coffee, delicious donuts, plenty of help and splendid cooperation among the members. The Sports Club wishes to thank each and every one who donated to « the card party — Buckeye Super Service, Buckeye and 87 St. .— Slug's Restaurant, 8640 Buckeye — Sabo and Tomory, Butchers, 9207 Steinway — Joseph Szalay, Barber, 9110 Buckeye — Csizmadia Rustic Bar, 9114 Buckeye — Joseph Kepes, I Grocer, 9514 Steinway .— Joseph ; Bell Grocery, corner Woodhill and Yeakel — Molnár Food Market, 2661 Grand Ave. — Lutz Cafe, 12419 Buckeye. The following club members brought door prizes: Steve Vache, Mr. and Mrs. John Knapp, Mike Gyurko, , Mrs. Joseph Bodnar, and Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Pinter, 3 prizes. One of the Pinter prizes was a beautiful cake. It was won by Katherine Torda. We were glad to see Terry (Moses) Kovács and her husband. Yep, she looked grand. William Moses was there with three guests. Mel and Sandy’s Cafe, corner of 93 and Cumberland, sent over two prizes. George Bubonic furnished excellent music, a regular one-man band. He is available for parties and gettogethers for a nominal fee. The Verhovay Home is open again, that is, the bar, to members and their friends. Open for bowling Saturdays and Sundays. There are 'three halls available at jdifferent rates. In the spring and summer time there is a yard which can be utilized for outdoor doings, such as speck fries, etc. The management will graciously cater to any or all members who may need the hall. Before I close, I want to comment on last month’s issue, where the editor asked many questions. We do not deny that the bowling committee has not worked hard. But you, my Dear Editor, make it sound that «they are infallible, and that I must deny. They are quitei human and fallible, so they also make mistakes. One Committee, member will not criticize another. If I remember right, the late Albert Ari held an informal meeting at South Bend, and the committee did receive plenty of criticism. Anyway, we like our bowling committee. Ex Animo, JOSEPH J. HORVATH 8637 Buckeye Road Cleveland 4, Ohio Br, 52 to Commemorate 45th Anniversary Another Verhovay branch is making preparations to celebrate its anniversary.

Mr. Szondi’s 300, along with games of 191 and 224, gave him a tidy series of 715. Despite many trophies and honor scores, this was the first • perfect game in Szondi’s bowiing career. His averages for this season are 193, 210 and 208, with three series over 700 to his credit, his best in .15 years of league bowling. This perfect game was the first rolled on the Racine alleys since 1943 and the twelfth in Racine bowling history. Szondi is a former branch secretary and is now a member of Branch 137, Racine. With his family and a Racine group driving two automobiles, Szondi is planning to attend the annual Verhovay bowling tournament in Columbus, Ohio.
