Wallace’s Big Series Makes Him Tournament Favorite
SAM MERCHANT
AND HARRISON
ALSO SELECTED
By RUSS J. COWANS
Last week Detroit bowling fans
were designating Robert Gunn as
the local lad who would turn back
the invasion of the army of keglers
seeking the lucrative prize of $750
for winning the first annual na
tional singles match championship
tournament, slated for the lanes of
Paradise Bowl. Feb. 3 to 8.
Today these same fans are extoll
ing the virtues of Ernest Wallace,
end placing on his slender should
ers the responsibility of turning
back the invading horde. This se
flection of Wallace follows a choice
bit of bowling artistry Monday
night by the favored son as he
compiled a 673 senes on 184, 278
end 211.
In shattering the pins for this
high, figure, Wallace approached
the brilliant brand of bowling that
von him the honor two years e-go
of being one of the most promising
young bowlers in the Motor City.
It was just a few days before his
big pinfall that George Bennett had
warned some of his bowling friends
to "watch W f allace in the tourna
ment.”
Mice© Kelley, the silent thunder
storm of Friars Ale. is another who
looms as a potent threat to keep the
rhampionship in Detroit. Kelley,
who was ill during the past week,
announced his recovery with a 649
aeries on 169, 257 and 220. And
Denton Johnson may have hit his
atride. He had a 612 series with a
high game of 237.
Plenty of Start
But with such stars as Sam Mer
rhant. Dr. Subbeal Anderson. Gene
Williams, and Oscar Jones of New
(York: Oscar Harmon. Jack Marsh
all, Bob Robinson, and Tommy
Clark Chicago: Elmer Reed and
30 or 12 others from Cleveland, and
a powerful array of talent from
Kansas City. Indianapolis. Cincin
nati. and St. Louis, the Detroit
bowlers will rood to be on top of
their game to capture the top prize,
the richest in the history of Negro
bowling.
A now threat loomed before the
participants this week, and he
proved to Detroiters Saturday and
Sunday that he has something on
the ball. Anyway, Grady Jackson,
co-sponsor of Friars Ale, believes
Simms is an excellent prospect,
and. as proof of this belief, has
sponsored Simms’ entry in the tour
nament.
Simms, lead-off man for the
Columbus Bombsight* who drop
ped a to Watson
Realty Sunday, cl.eked for a 594.

ran into a couple of .*plits near the
end of the series. He had a high

But, as some of the boys were
paying, a dark horse, a practically
tmknqwn _ howler. may come
|hraugh_and ride rough shod over
ihe favorites. It has been done,
nd can be done again.
Those Detroit bowlers who have
their entry in by Jan. 22 can ar
tange the program to coincide with
their working schedule, if they will
Just include on their entry blank
the hours they ere working.
The 24-game preliminary will
• tart Thursday morning. Feb 3, and
conclude the following day. The
finals start Saturday. Feb. 5. and
terminate Sunday even.ng. Feb. 6
The 10 leaders in the preliminary
*-’ill not only earn the right to com
pete in the finals but will win back

Clarence Smith wa* never a fel
low to give a lot of unnecessary
talk about trivial things. In fact,
Smith has always been a very
close-mouthed fellow, and when he
f
fa w xinV . .*> 4
Clarence Smith
spoke, there
was always
somet h i n g
meaty in hil
words. The oth
er evening was
no different
from those oth
er 20 years
Smith has been
associated with
baseball.
The former
outfielder for
the Detroit
Stars and at
present manag
er of the Motor
City Giants,
settled himself in hia chair, stroked
his chin and let a far-away gaze
sneak into his eyes. Just as though
he was thinking about those day*
when he was earning his money
with Joe Rush’s Birmingham Black
Barons, or John Tenny Blounts De
troit Star*.
But Smithy soon shook this off
and brought hia attention back to
current problems.
"The Molor City Giants," said
Smith, "are looking toward a great
sea«on this year.
‘Good owners always have good
ball clubs for years. Book at Rube
Foster of the Chicago American
Giants: Tenny Blount of the De
troit Stars: and J. L. Wilkinson
of the Kansas City Monarchs. Also
Tom Wilson of the Baltimore Elites.
These owners always looked out
for their players and paid them
what they had promised them. They
always got the best ball players.
‘'Now, we have a man who lost
money in 1943, but paid all the
men just what ho had promised
them. In addition, he bought a
ball park, and he’s putting in •
grandstand this year and moving
the home plate to where the flag
pole was last rummer. There will
be plenty of seats.
“And the ball club will be the
best since 1924. back in the years
when Blount had the team and
such stars as Arvil Riggins, Nor
man (Turkey) Steames, Andy Coop
er. Johnnie Jones. Buddy Petway
Leon Daniels. Bill Force. Jack
Combs, and Watson were members
of the Detroit Stars.
“Were going to have some new
faces. Ben Linton, owner of the
Giants, attended the meeting of
the Negro American League in
Chicago, and also the meeting of
the Negro National league, and
met with success at both meet
ings. He was able to arrange games
with teams in both leagues.
•Right now we h?ve such men
as Walter and Orel Thomas. Elijah
Burke. Jimmie Smith, Malone
Johnson. Ralph Hall. Charles (Red)
House. Wilbur and Alton King
from last season, and expect to add
to this list by the time the season
opens.
"Yes, It looks very much like
Linton 1* going to give the fans
here a good team, and also a nice
park where the games will be
played."
Smith was an able outfielder dur
ing the days he was a member
of the Detroit Stars, and is ca
pable of judging material when he
sees it
* * *
Pick the winner of the first an
nual national singles match game
tournament, and you can get better
than 5 to 1 for your money.
Right now the bowling fans are
attempting to make Robert Gunn,
the. young kegler from Porters
Cleaners team who captured two
tournaments in succession, setting
•’n average of 202 for the first, and
208 for the second.
But there are plenty of loval
supporters for Robert (Tiny) Bald
win. the Indianapolis blizzard: Er
nest (Boots) Fairfax. George Ben
nett, Bill Rhodman. Roy Williams,
John Collins. George Crum. Maceo
Kelly Ernest Wallace. Quinn Fra
zier. Bob Sweed. Pie McKalpin. and
many of the other large number
of local bowlers who will com
pete in the tourney.
But there will be some stiff ob
stacle in the path to the cham
pionship. and some of them will
be hurled by keglers from New
York, Cleveland. Cincinnati. Co
lumbus. Indianapolis, Chicago and
Kansas City.
For instance. Sam Merchant, for
mer member of Friars Ale. will
head a strong delegation from New
York. Sam. a member of the Har
lem Stars, is packing a 194 average
in the New York League.
And John Simms 25-year-old Co
lumbus kegler. rolled himself into
a job with Friars A .» team and
also an entry in the tournament
Simms, who has an average of 194
in the Columbus league, provided
Grady Jackson, sponsor of the
Friars Ale team, with a thrill and
Jackson prevailed on him to join
his team and enter the tournament.
The $750 top prize was bait enough
to win Simms.
* * *
Dr. Samuel Henry. Clay Owens,
and Reuben Ray left Monday for
Mexico City where they'll spend
the next 60 days. Owen just re
turr *d last week from a ten- day
stay in a hospital in Cleveland
where he had Rone for a checkupc
The doctors ordered him to take
a good King resL
While I believe Owen will take
a complete real from bis medical
duties, still be will be a very active
man in the land of the sombrero,
what with bu’l fights, baseball,
fight* and other *orms of sports
moving at a brisk pace. And t. e
same will go for Ray.

Top Junior Loop
The Wolverines kept their record
clean in the Junior Division of the
Michigan Chronicle League by
trouncing the Trojans last Monday,
68 to 26. at Moore school Although
the score is one-sided, the game was
very interesting throughout. The
Trojans were in there fighting to
the last whistle.

Sigmas And Nacirema Win
Games In Fraternity Loop
Basketball fans who attended the
Fraternity League games at the
'Y” Saturday night, witnessed
some classic basketball. In the first
game, an up-and-coming Sigma
quintet edged out a hard fighting
Kappa aggregation 43 to 42 in an
overtime affair. It was Sigma’s
first victory. In the second game,
the ever-agressive Nacirema five
triumphed over a battling Alpha
team 52 to 38.
Paul Stonestreet, the ex-Wilber
force star, led the scoring for Sig
ma with 11 points. He was ably
assisted by Sanford with 10, Lee
with 8, Broadnax with 6. Gwynn
with 4 and Perkins with 3. Al
though Perkins, the All-Conference
center from Xavier of New Orleans,
scored only 3 points, his great
floor work and fine passing ac
counted for many more. The pass
ing and team work by Sigma was
as good as. if not better
seen here this season. Short, snap
py passes with a minimum of
dribbling was too much for the
Kappa defense.
Hewitt Williams led the scoring
for Kappa with 10 points. He was
followed by Simpson with 9, Stone
street and Van Hargis with 7 each
Ernie Marshall with 4 and “Doc”
Marshall with 8. Johnson, who

can always be expected to be good
on the defense, saved a lot of
scores that might have been made
against his team. Walter Simpeon,
in addition to scoring 9 points, put
up a mighty good defensive job
for his mates.
Neither team in the second game
had much of a defense, but Naci
rema made good most of its shots
while Alpha missed most of its
shots. The game featured long,
and in some instances wild, passes
■with N tcirema getting the better
of it. Horne, the diminutive and
slick forward for Nacirema, tallied
24 points. Street was just eight
points behind with 18. Van Buren,
Talbert, and Butler chalked up 4
each. Van Buren. the ball hawk
of the team, didn’t do much in
scoring, but did a good job of feed
ing that resulted in a number of
scores. Nacirema ms without the
services of their center. Smith, but
he wasn't needed since Home and
Street scored enough points to win.
Binham counted 15 points to lead
the Alpha attack. He was assisted
by Coleman and Briscoe with 10
each. Wallace and Leatherwood
accounted for the other 5 points.
More team play with less “indi
vidualism’* might have improved
the chances of Alpha.
