The Kimg Pin team was the last difficult hurdle for the Icemen and Toomey pulled them over. In the ninth box of a tight game he started with a strike. He struck the tenth. He struck with the first ball of the roll-off and got eight with the second. The next game he opened with a double-header. Never before nor since was Toomey's much-talked- about smoke ball more effective. It was demoralizing to the King Pin forces and a spur to the Icemen. That was a great season for Toomey. But for too late a start he would have hung up an all-time_record for aver- at that time regarded as ‘was a_“discoyery” of John competition. Had Blick been one game earlier placing Toomey in his line-up the speed-ball wow would have been better known than now. It is no mean distinction in the duckpin world to have the tag: “Former record holder of the District League.” Later on Georgie Friend became quite famous through a District League full-season record that was kmue point shy of Toomey's 53-game mar in Ts tournament, with between 3C and 40 doubles teams expected to roll. | Five games will be shot at Tad How- ard’s new Rendezvous, on Fourteenth | street near Decatur northwest, and five | at the Lucky Strike next Friday, total pins to ccunt.
