ABC King Admits Oregon To Liking By JERRY WAGGONER Herald and News Sports Editor Tom Hennessey, the pro bowl ing champion who won the ABC Classics title this winter, was on exhibition at Lucky Lanes Wed nesday under the auspices of the Brunswick Advisory Staff. And what an exhibition he put on. The chunky St. Louis bowler, who pulled down the Classic sin gles title with a very good 732 series and All-Events with a bril liant 1998, won the huge crowd attending the exhibition with his humorous line of chatter as well as his brilliant bowling. Hennessey, a member of the Brunswick Advisory Staff and here to put on an exhibition and aid bowlers when possible, set lanes 19 and 20 on fire with a hot 722 series which included a high game of 258 in the night ses sion. Promotion manager of Lucky Lanes, Larry Jones, bowled Hen nessey in an afternoon session of singles. He rolled a very respect able 643 series for the first time at rolling on a set of lanes. He and Jones teamed up in a 'doubles match in the night ses sion against Al Hakcnwerth and Gino Rosterolla. The two locals gave the pros a real run to the fans delight. Hennessey rolled a first game of 241 in the doubles. He had six straight strikes to begin the game. Davis Buried Near Home ELM IRA. N.Y. (UP!) - Ernie Davis was buried Wednesday in this city he called home for 17 of his 23 years. J Acute leukemia ended the life!

Ernie signed a three-year, S80,- 000 contract with the National Football League team after be coming the first member of his race to win the Hcisman Trophy college football's top award. He was forced to the sidelines by leukemia last July. About 6.000 persons, including 38 Cleveland players and coaches and another large group from Syracuse University heard final rites in the First Baptist Church and were present at the inter ment in Woodlawn Cemetery. Davis was born Dec. 14. 1939 in L'niontown, Pa., and came here when he was six. He followed Cleveland fullback Jim Brown to Syracuse and erased most of Brown's collegiate records.

HENNESSEY HELPS YOUNGSTERS Tom Hennessey, ABC champion and member of the Brunswick Advisory Staff, gives some advice to Mike Crawley, center, and Fred Eck, two of the top young bowlers around the city. Hennessey was at Lucky Lanes to give en exhibition and advice, as he is doing here. He got a split in the seventh and was open but came back with a spare aixi pair of strikes for the 241. Hakcnwerth, match game sin gles champ of the city, gave him a real run for his money with a fine 234. Al had a double to begin and hit another double and turkey for his high score. Roster olla and Jones' had 186 and 183 respectively. Rosterolla was the hottest bowl er in the second game. He came in with a hot 233 w hile Hennessey fell to a 223. He had only six strikes, three spares and a split for his tally. Hakcnwerth fell off to a 181 and Jones climbed to a 204. The pressure was applied in the third game, however. Jones came in with a 192 for a 579 scries. Rosterolla finished with the low game of the set, a 179, for a 5981 series, and Hakenwerth closed outl with a 188 for a 603. All three faltered under the blazing hot 258 game thrown by Hennessey. He opened the game with a split for only eight pins. He then hit a strike and a spare. But he found the pocket then and continued to roll strikes as though radar guided the ball. He threw nine straight strikes to close out the game for a 238. He finished with a 722 series and combined with Jones' 579 for a 1301 scries, a very fine series. They were exact ly 100 pins ahead of Hakenwerth and Rosterolla. "We spotted them 100 pins be fore the match so we are tied. How about one more game." he asked the crowd. Everyone ap proved. He rolled a 210, Jones fell way down to a 147 and Ros terolla had a 199. Hakcnwerth was the hot gun in this game with a 243. He had six straight in that string. Hennessey proved to be funny in his comments. If my part ner had bowled his weight, no one in the world could beat us," he joked of Jones. "I always bowl good in Oregon. I had a 300 at Cottage Grove last year and al ways seem to average around 230 out here. I don't know what it is. Maybe I should move out here and I'd be a star," he joked. He commented to questions that he has 17 300 games in his career and seven are sanctioned. He also said that spares are a highly important part of the game. He opened llie doubles with six straight strikes. After the fourth one he commented. "It's fun so far." He got lucky on one hit and had an odd carry for a strike. "It was a good hit. The pins just fell funny." In the third game when lie was hot. he said alter the eighth straight blow, "this isn't a bad house." Hennessey had commented ear lier that the establishment was a high scoring one. He also said be fore the beginning of the matches that he hoped they could give the crowd lots of strikes. The four bowlers made 94 strikes in the four games. Hennessey had 32 strikes in tlie four games for an average of eight per game. O' Xi.

When Hodges was given his un conditional release in order to suc ceed deposed Mickey Vernon as the Senators' field boss Wednes day, it was announced the Mets would receive nothing in return except good will. However, it was reported in Los Angeles Wednesday night that the Senators will offer the Mets a player as part of the deal. Spec ulation immediately centered on Piersall. a long-time favorite of Mets manager Casey Stengel who has been riding the bench in Wash ington this season. Impressed With Hustle Now 33, Piersall always im pressed Stengel w ith h i s hustle when Casey was managing the New York Yankees. The outspok en center fielder was ene of the American League's top hitters in 1981 when he batted .322 with the Cleveland Indians. ll ill Piersall was traded to the Sen ators at the end of the '61 cam paign and immediately fell into disfavor with the club's brass and its fans. He skidded to .244 last year and has a .250 average in 28 games this season. George Weiss, the Mets" pres ident, was en route back from Los Angeles, where the team played Wednesday night, end thus was unavailable for comment on the Piersall report. However, a club spokesman pointed out Hodg es went to Washington as a free Seattle Drawing Nearer Tacoma In PCLs Scramble By RON SUPINSKI tnilod Press International Good-pitch, fair-hit Seattle is daily drawing the noose tighter on good-hit, fair-pitch Tacoma in the scramble for the top ol the Northern Division of the Pacific Coast League. The Rainiers again proved Wed nesday that a stingy pitclicr usual ly has the edge over a solid hit ter. Seattle's Billy Spanswick al lowed the little Giants only three hits in leading the Rainers to a 71 w in over the third-best hitting team in the league. Spanswick struck out 11 and walked 2 in raising his record to 3-1. Don Gile, Bobby Gene Smith and Dalton Jones each got three hits while Billy Harrell socked his fourth homer for the winners. Drivers Work On '500' Cars INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.

"But if they want to do us a favor and give us Piersall, I don't imagine we'll turn him down," the spokesman added, Giveaway Unlikely It seems unlikely that the Mets would allow Hodges, who was so popular with New York fans, to go to Washington without asking something in return. The club paid the Dodgers 175.000 for the 39-year-old first baseman in 1961 and also spent a bundle on Gil for surgery. On Monday Seattle pitcher Bob, Heffencr blanked Tacoma on eight hits. Heffner (4-2) Wilbur Wood (5-D, Smilh (3-3), R. G. Smith (2-2) and Spanswick have accounted for 17 of Seattle's 21 victories. Seattle also leads the league in combined earned-run av erages with Wood showing the way with 0.71. Wednesday's win left Seattle, only a hall game off the pace of league-leading Tacoma.

Pilots Rap Spit Bailers BALTIMORE (UPI) - Bob Scheffing joined Chicago White mx manager Al Lopez today in demanding that "something should be done" about the in creasing number of pitchers who are throwing an occasional spit Dan. "They ought to legalize it or start calling it," the Detroit Ti ger manager said. "It wouldn't be that hard to enforce. All the batters know when a pitcher is using a spitter, so the umpires sure know." . ; Lopez recently accused Los An geles pitcher 'Dean Chance of us ing the pitch, and Scheffing ac knowledged that Chance had used it against the Tigers once. He threw a spitter to (Norm) Cash one day in Detroit, and (late umpire) Larry Napp walked right out to the mound. He told him 'You threw a spitter. and I want you to cut that out. Next time I'll call a ball on you no matter where the pitch Is. That s the way you have to do it. Asked if ho thought that bring ing the spitter back would help pitchers, Scheifing replied: I don t think it would help that much. After all, you can get - off the spitter." : : I fcsnncsTTlu nut rtmtrjTOtinn 1
