In the first team match. two local boys, Teddy Clague and Joe Greenfield, have drawn those hard rocks from Sudbury. Wolf and Frank Jennings. Joe and Ted- dy couldn’t have picked a tough- er duo than these two hardy gents from the nickel city. Joe was accused last week of picking them hard for other teams, but he certainly drew a pair of pips for him and young Clague. The Jennings Bros. are a rough and ready pair and seem to delight in the rough going and have been disqualified more times than any team in the country. They have been warned about the rough stuff in the tournament and it will be interesting to see how they behave. If they stick to wres- tling, Greenfield and Clague will give them a shock or two, that's for certain, at any rate it shapes up__like a good exciting bout. The other team match will see those speedy little French Can- adians, Paul Lachance and Fred- dy Labelle of Quebec, meeting none other than The Hamilton Hoods, Alex Jensen and Jack Di- amond. LabelIe and Lachance are fast and furious and if the oppos- ition gives out with the rough stuff they can sure give it back. Now the Hamilton Hoods are considered favorites to win this tournament, along with Orlando and Osborne, but I don’t believe that I would sell the two French speed stars short. Labelle espec- ially is a tough nut (remember his 52 minute match with Stoney Brooks in the title eliminations last February). He is a hard lit- tle nut and combined with the very strong Lachance they may surprise and turn in a win. Two other good matches have been added to the card and in one of them Donl Mangotich of the famous Mangotich Bros.. will test the ability of Grant Wylder who started off locally with a Wednesday, May 7, brought ab- out the closing of the season‘s bowling with three closely mat- ched teams in the play-ofis. not until the very last score was tal- lied could anyone make a choice of team to win. The final result showed Ron Umbach’s team, the “Pin-Ups” the grand winner by 25 points. The league will close off the season with a banquet and gala evening, May 23, at the High- land Golf Club. Next season’s bowling will commence early in September.
