It will be written in golden letters as the first bowling tournament in the name of the William Penn Fra­ternal Association. The untired work and heavy expenses have borne their precious fruit. Everybody who did his duty and had any connection whatsoever in this great sport and, above all, fraternal gathering, in his heart and soul possesses the rew;ard of great satisfaction for a job well done. Surely, the tournament is over, but the memory will linger in the héarts of those who attended and participated in the events. Every­body’s jöy, happiness and pleasure in victory will be a guarantee of the future bowling tournaments being a fraternal holiday. The writer of this column, in the name of Toledo Branch 27, and its bowlers, pays compliments and thanks to John Sa­bo, our Tournament Administrator, and to his committee. The lion’s share of the work is done by them. We, as a whole, come in to parti­cipate and enjoy it. Now I should like to go into de­tail of what transpired at Buffalo. Each and everyone of us had a grand time, with yours truly and Jula Vargo coming home victorious —we won the actual pin Doubles Championship! This makes four straight tournament victories in which Toledo Bowlers have 4 tro­phies to show for, this being a pret­ty good batting average in any league. After being doubles partners for about the last ten years, “V. J.” (Jula) Vargo and I finally opened the doors which lead to the trophy room. Yes, Tula’s picture should be taken from all angles — he deserves every bit of it —- he was at his best in the doubles,, shooting consistent games of 220, 205 and 200. If I had done just as well, all I can say is: “Look out, Emery Boroski!” Congra­tulations, Jula, for a job well done. It surely was a pleasant sight to see a new array of colored shirts on the bowlers, with the name “Wil­liam Penn Fraternal Association” appearing in full. It seems as though the new name gave the bowlers an additional lift when things were go­ing a little bad. I can still hear a lot of chatter concerning the great time everyone had when the tourna­ment was held here in Toledo. If I recall correctly, this was the last time that the “Night in Budapest Dance” was held on Saturday night, with the banquet that introduced the champions the next evening — Sunday. It seems as though the bowl­ers and their guests want a longer time for dancing and meeting new and old friends and a shorter time for banquets. Thank you Department: To Di­rector A1 Ibos and Field Supervisor Joseph Toma and the New Yorkers for their moral support during our doubles match—To A1 Wagner from Buffalo fo'r the bowling sheets—To Pop Diliinger and Frank Koval for their immediate assistance at all times at the bowling alleys—To Jo­seph Taylor, President of the Buffalo branch, for his hospitality and wel­come—To Miss Ethel Faczan from Johnstown, Pa., for her quarter that brought us good luck—To Mrs. Mi­chael Faczán, for her delicious fried chicken—To, last but not least, my fraternalist friend, the All-Events champion this year, the transplanted Toledoan, Emery Boroskie, for his good humor and smile given to everybody free of charge. A wonder­ful cheering section from Toledo fol­lowed the bowlers on to Buffalo, Among them were Mrs. Paul _Lajti, Mrs. Joseph Hornyak, Mrs. Andrew Rasi, Mrs. Ernest Belegrin, Mrs. Frank Veres, Mrs. Andrew Feyes, Mrs. Richard Sendi, John Mokri, Sr., Joseph Poch, Sr. and his son Joseph Poch, Jr. I wonder whether anyone of them saw Niagara Falls while they were in Buffalo. I bet not-for-I just received a card from our branch president and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Feyes, from Niagara Falls, stating that they were really enjoy­ing’ themselves. This reminds me of the trip that our treasurer, John _Mokri, took to New York with his family shortly after coming home from the big city a short three years ago. Rose Bodnar, Elizabeth Bochi and her sister Gizella, also made this a combination tournament and vaca­tion. When the girls finished bowl­ing, they continued on to New York City to enjoy the sights and the shows. Wedding anniversaries at Br. 27: Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Belegrin ce­lebrated their 18th on Memorial Day, Mrs. Julius Kerekes their 34th. Mr. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Nyári their 34th during the month of May, Mr. Kerekes is a former branch manager of Branch 27, a tireless worker. An epidemic of illness has struck Branch 27 members. Paul Lajti, Jr., is home from the hospital after un­dergoing surgery—Joseph Zaborsky is up after spending 10 days in the St. Charles Hospital—Frank Karafa, Sr., is under doctor’s care, also at St. Charles—Mrs. Elizabeth Lees, owner and manager of the St. Jude Rest Home, twisted her ankle so badly that she cancelled her tripr to Buffalo .at the last minute—Little Patty Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Smith, fractured her right leg, and will be hospitaliz­ed for approximately 3 weeks, with an additional 2 months for her leg to heal in a cast. Did you name your little doggie “Sassie,” Pattié ? We wish all of you speedy recovery. Good news Dept. The Vischer Fa­mily now joins our 100% William Penn Club.

The big 4th of July holiday and vacation period is coming. If you TRENTON LOSES ACE BOWLER Death suddenly came to Stephen J. Papp, age 46, beloved member of Branch 13-V, Trenton, New Jersey, and one of the area’s best-known bowling figures, on April 21, 1956. Before being stricken by illness earlier this year, Papp was manager of the White Horse Bowling Acade­my (recently destroyed by fire) for about two years and was an out­standing competitive bowler. Over a period of years — about 30 — Stephen J. Papp won scores of trophies. Among them individual tournaments won by him was the Trenton Times match game cham­pionship in 1952. He was one of the original members of the Mercer County Major Bowling League and bowled for many title-winning teams. In 1954 he participated at the Ver­­hovay Bowling Tournament in New York. The championship bowler had a fine reputation as a natural-born master or ceremonies. He was at ease before a microphone, his writ being spontaneous and his remarks unrehearsed. That is why the “mike” was handed Papp at such events sponsored by the bowlers as the March of Dimes, the Red Cross, the Times Poor Kiddies Fund, the Olym­pic Fund, the Heart Fund, etc. His sincere entertainment helped swell the contribution». Papp’s enthusiasm for branch and association was attributable largely to his coming from a staunch Ver­­hovay family. His father was a charter member of Branch 59-V, Scalp Level, Pennsylvania, where the younger Papp was born. Survivors are his wife, a daughter, his mother, two brothers and six sisters. We express our condolences to the family and relatives of Stephen J. Papp. CLEVELAND HUNGARIAN HOME NEWS With the words, “There never has been one like this, “Edward Torda tersely commented on the social and financial success of the card party held by Branch 366 on April 14. Many fine awards and attractive door prizes were given away. On the afternoon of April 22 the Sports Club held its traditional bowl­ing tourney. After an exciting game,' Mrs. G. Hegedűs and Mrs. G. Buba­­nick emerged the winners. Thus the victory cup has been transferred to its new place and will remain there for a year. The strenuous activities of the tournament whetted the appetites of the bowlers who relished and appre­ciated the delicious refreshments served them. The end of the season’s bowling found the women’s division, Orban’s Flower Shop group, captained by Mrs. Szalay, the winner; the men’s division winner was the Verhovay Home Team, Edward Torda the cap­tain. * * * However, our football team began its schedule this spring, under the name “Verhovay 14,” and- won a victory over the powerful Lithuanian team, the scores being 3-2.
