March 31 Deadline For Filing Tournament Entry Applications

Two more weeks to deadline date. Don’t forget, all of you bowlers wherever you live, in the West, the East; the North or the South, applications for Tournament Entry MUST be filed NO LATER than by MIDNIGHT, MARCH 31st, 1950.

It was the unanimous demand of the BOWLERS’ REPRESENTATIVES, the bowling team captains in the 1950 Tournament City, that the deadline be strictly enforced and no exceptions be made. The applications, properly completed, must be accompanied by the average sheets, and the entry tees in full, on check, draft, or money order made payable to no other than The Verhovay Sports Fundi

The entry blanks should be mailed not to Pop Diliinger, our Tournament Secretary, but to Mr. John Sabo, National Auditor, Verhovay Building, 436 Fourth Avenue, Pittsburgh 19, Pa.

We hope that by the time ^his edition reaches our readers all teams will have written to the Home Office for their entry blanks. Any team not having applied yet for the entry blanks should do so immediately, without a moment’s delay, because if you miss the deadline — you’ll miss the tournament and let there be no mistake about it.

To all indications this will be a very big tournament. The number of applications already ordered by several team-sponsoring branches shows a definite increase in various leagues. And, what’s more, several new branches are entering the field this year! It almost looks as if the number of actual

entries would not only come up to, but even exceed our fondest expectations.-!* •> •*

But be sure to file applications for entry, together with average sheets and-full payments of entry fees no later than March 31st, 1950.

Otherwise, there isn’t mueh in the way of news. Things are running pretty smoothly, everything is under control and no unforeseen complications have caused any changes in the plans.

And/so the Tournament will start on Friday, May 26, 1950, nt G o’clock in the evening. Whether this means Standard Time or the so-called Daylight Saving Time, will be announced in the next issue. The teams in the Youngstown area are scheduled to start the ball rolling in the Individual and Two- Man events on the first night. Those arriving from greater distances will follow on Saturday morning, May 27th. Team events will start some time that day, after the Individual and Two-Man events will be concluded.

thing, if he now has a Twenty Year Endowment policy ask him to furnish you with figures on how to double the amount of insurance protection at practically the same cost.

3. ) Since the insurance protection your husband purchased several years ago does not have the same value, due to inflation, ihat it had yeais ago when the insurance was purchased, be certain to have your branch manager write additional Insurance for your husband to make up for the inflation-caused drop in money values. (At this point we suggest that you read the article “How Much Is Life Worth,” appearing in this issue. This article gives you a proper understanding of today’s insurance requirements and of how they can be met by the average wage earner.)

4. ) Review your insurance program, with the help of your branch manager, and let him suggest ways to improve your program.

5. ) Do act today, because tomorrow may be too late.

Your branch manager is ready today, as always, to serve you. He is your friend. Invite him to see you today. With his help you will be taking the steps necessary to eliminate the uncertainty from your life. Remember the tragic words Mary Taylor cried:

“IF ONLY HE HAD NOT WAITED!”

T-DAY AHEAD

Don’t let the weather fool you. May isn’t very far away. Like the baseball major leaguers who are in spring training, our local keglers are sharpening their bowling eyes and preparing for the big Verhovay Tournament. T-Day is approximately a little over two months away, so all you aspirants had better put the edge on your bowling.

Joe Nagy’s “Aces,” the No. 1 team, are really in high hydramatic. At the rate they are zooming to new heights, they are bound to bring home some of the proverbial bacon, come tourney time.

Tables turned: during the first half of the Southway Home League the aces were at the bottom of the ladder. Now they have climbed to the top and are riding the crest of the waves. The homeguard of the Southway “Home” League have been decimated so badly that the aces super numerarice went ahead of the entire field. While the aces were at the bottom, the second team was top. Now that the tables are turned, we of the second team are eating crow because of the many insults and abuses we have showered upon them. We humb(Continue on page 6)
