LEW HARRIS SPARKED STERLIH6 TO TITLE;
BAHQUET TO HOHOR BOWLERS MOHDAY RIGHT
All good tilings must and do corns to an and sometime.
And so the 1948-49 J. C. C. bowling season officially closed
Monday night.
For 33 long weeks the numerous keg-
lers with the colorful shirts had one
night of fun and relaxation. It was noth-
ing unusual for the fellows to run hog
wild on various alleys. Participants on
alley No. 1 would hop along to the 12th
runaway to see what was going on—and
visa versa.
Several of the pin artists feel that
the handicap system has hampered the
league. There is no doubt that several
of the teams were much stronger than
others, thus the spotting of pins actually balanced com-
petition between all dubs. There is rumor spreading that
a scratch loop will be organised next fall with no handi-
caps. This league may have Sunday mornings as their
playing dates so as not to conflict with the regular Mon-
day seealmis This also means that the same teams intend
to parti
SIG FRUCHT ISSUES INTER-MEDIATE WARNING;
REA’S TIE FOR TOP SPOT IN SUNDAY CIRCUIT
With over two weeks of the fast-moving Inter-mediate
circuit to look back upon, Sig Frucht's lightly regarded
Rambler second string boasts the league's only unbeaten
record and a full game lead over five confused and ap-
l«T f parently outclassed clubs. Following an
eye-opening 6-5 win over pennant favor-

along by Kessler's booming bat and smooth receiving.

and series, respectively. Har-

finkel posted 567.
The very next week Lonnie
appearances, it looks very
much as tho the Ramblers well
might maintain their present
lead, and cop the Intermediate
crown in a shocking surprise!
In other games, of May 10,
Rambler Juniors put an ab-
rupt end to M. M. Copians’ un-
beaten aims, 8-7, behind a
tough two-some of clutch hurl-
ing by Phil Heintz and ter-
rific slugging by Willie Brom-
berg. In the only one-sided ac-
tion of the nite, Cyrus Adler’s
Izzy Shapiro won a sweet one
from traditional rival AZA 136
8-3, behind a barrage of third-
inning base-hits by his team-
matss.
Cyrus Adler and AZA 136
pulled a double surprise Sun-
day as the recent Rambler Jun-
iors invitation league got und-
erway at Eastwood field. AZA
outclassed a startled Sons of
Israel in the initial clash, coast-
ing behind an early 8-0 lead.
The AZA nine, paced by Harv
Gordon’s three hits, raked 11
hits of two S. O. I. hurlers to
score the convincing 13-7 tri-
umph. Cyrus Adler won a thril-
ler from favored Ramblers 14-
Great Catching Aids Sig
Frucht Victories By 6-4
The surprising Sig Frucht
Ramblers made a clean sweep
of its initial round games, turn-
ing back the previously un-
beaten Clark’s Juvenile Shoe
Stores (A. J. Society) in a Ma-
jor loop contest last Thursday
night by a score of 6 to 4.
A1 Freedman, who is be-
coming the sensational rookie
of the year, with recognition
due to the well-handler re-
ceiver Roy Love, had the shoe-
men eating out of his hand un-
til he seemed to lose his stuff
in the last frame. Prior to this,
Freedman had hurled a no-
hitter and allowed only two
runners to reach third base.

pace-setter that led Henry Spo-

Harris was as regular
on the alleys as the postman
delivering the morning mail,
boasting a 188 average during
the past campaign. It may be a

Scher came through with a 224
to replace Hjuris in the high
single game department. Harris
wasted no time the following
week, his powerful delivery rol-
ling 240-659 to take over ev-
erything on record. On the
seventh week, Abe Tolsky burst
ed forth with a neat 257 to edge
Harris by 17 pins, and for two
months this mark found no
rival nearing the achievement.
There was a loud cheer in
Recreation Palace last January
10, when Herzl Lodge’s Louis
Gordon almost scored a per-
fect game. He amazed the gasp-
ing crowd with a record-break-
ing 289 game. To this day Gor-
don’s feat has not been touch-
ed. In the meantime Harris bet-
tered his own series by 6 pins,
rolling a sensational 665.
