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!
Saturday of the former Syracuse
university All-Amcncan halfback
who tried desperately to embark
on a professional career with the
Cleveland Browns.
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.
Davis' last appearance in a foot
ball game was in Buffalo last
June when the East defeated the
West in the second annual All-
America football game.

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.

for Gil Hodges, the surprise new
manager of the Washington Sen

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

American League's top hitters in
1981 when he batted .322 with the
Cleveland Indians.

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.

Good-pitch, fair-hit Seattle is

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

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

and Dalton Jones each got three
hits while Billy Harrell socked his
fourth homer for the winners.

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

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."
