Gonzales Garners Golden Gate Glory - No. Calif. Forty-eight players turned out for the Golden Gate Open Classic on Memor-

ial Day week-end. In the championship group, three players tied for first with 4-1 records. The first playoff game saw Monte Latino from Sacramento avenge his earlier loss to teammate John Pratt by a 52-24 score to set the stage for the final showdown with Jesse Gonzales from downstate Los Osos who Monte had previously defeated by a 52-42 score. Jesse, however, took no chances in the finale and shot the best game of the day, a blistering 85.2% to take the title, the game, high game honors and best average of the tourna-ment with 75.9%.

In Group 1, Arnie Peters of Sonora defeated Boyce Miller from Reno in the last game to set the stage for another shoot-out between them as each ended with 4-1. Unlike the championship group, revenge was not to be as Arnie again edged Boyce 52-40 in the playoff. Boyce did have the satisfaction of posting high game 60.8% and high average, 51.0% for the group. Earl Blanton from the Mosswood Club in Oakland took the first place trophy home from Group 2 with a perfect 5-0 record. After EarPs shaky 50-48 win in his first game over Jack Parnell of Grass Valley both players won their remain-ing games handily for a one-two finish.

More drama in Group 3 when Tony Mattos of San Jose and James Randall of Grass Valley ended with 4-1 postings. In the nip and tuck playoff, Tony squeaked by James 52-49 to avenge his earlier loss. Each player shot 26 ringers in the game so single points were the difference. Cliff Johnson from Sacramento stacked up high game and average with 64.2% and 47.0% for the group. Reno's Auggie Fragale managed a 4-1 to take Group 4 and Clair Ben-thin out of Vallejo shot an accumulative average of 42.7% to break a three-way tie for second place.

Group 5 had to be decided by playoff between Vail Rasmussen of Mosswood and Ed Bruins of Sacramento. Vail had beaten Ed 53-25 during regular play but Ed shot high group game of 54.1 in the playoff to sink Vail 51-18 and take the big trophy. Frank Swift, the only member of the host club to win a trophy, did so with first place in Group 6 with a 4-1. Sonny Hatsme of Vallejo had a last game of 53.5% to raise his tournament average to 32.7% and thus break a three-way tie for second place. Keith Krieg of Vallejo won all his games to take honors in Group 7 although two players got to 46 points against him. Gene Hood lost only to Keith as he claimed second.

Vines Victorious At Turlock, Calif. Class A Bill Vines performed like the Class A champion he is when he took top

honors at Turlock,California. Bill had one bad game, lost it and then came right back with his best effort of 73.9% to defeat Verdan Zelmar in the game which would have cost him the tournament. Verdan couldn't duplicate his earlier 75.9% game and thus had to settle for second although he had high game and tournament average of 61.3%.

Jim Adams captured all that the law would allow in Group 1 with a 5-0 record, 57.7% game and 40.5% average for the day. Jim Cooper took the second place trophy with a 3-2 record. A whirlwind finish occurred in Group 2 when Ed Anderson, Millard Miller and Ernest Hall all finished with 4-1 records. In the first playoff Ernest avenged his only loss by scuttling Ed 50-37 to earn a shot at Millard. Ernest then repeated the feat with a 51-36 win to take first. Millard did have high group tournament average with 42.0% but Ernest had high game of 55.0%.

"From Out O f The Mail BaH"

Lawrence, Kansas The Horseshoe Pitcher's News Digest P. 0. Box 1606 Aurora, Illinois 60507 Dear Sir:

On page 24 of the April issue of the Pitcher's Digest I read the article by Sol Berman. I can agree with some of the things he states, but there is one paragraph that is in error. He states that we have not built up the NHPA over the past 35 years, but, I have records to refute that most emphatically. I have been pitching shoes since I was a 13 year old youngster, way back in 1920. I not only did lots of pitching but I helped build courts, install lighting, go to the daily paper for publicity and a host of other jobs too numerous to mention. In 1937 we had 1,767 members; in 1939, 1,850. In 1971 we had 4,516. To say we haven't grown is a slap in the face of Arch Stokes in his grave, and Elmer Beller in his 80's and a diligent worker. Ralph Dykes has been a very good man for the game. Leo McGrath has done an excellent job in Ohio and Florida. So has Bob Pence and last but not least Ellis Cobb, publisher of the Pitcher's Digest.

Bowling became very popular many years ago simply because the partici-pants were willing to reach down into their purse and give plenty of money toward the game. We have always been working penny ante in the game of shoes; witness the fact that 35 years ago we had yearly dues of 25 cents. Now, just what can you do with 25 cents? NOTHING to speak of. I might add that down through the years I pitched, there were just too many pitchers who wouldn't spend any money. They were STINGY just like old Ebenezer Scrooge in Dicken's Christmas Carol. In any sport, you are going to get out exactly what you put in. Put in nothing and you get nothing. My bowling friends spend more money in one week than the average shoe pitcher spends in a year. I do not put myself in that category as I have given of my time and plenty of money to keep the game going in Kansas. At 68 I have finished my job and I am turning it over to the younger set.

In the President's Message on page one of the April issue, Mr. Shipley states that he is not in favor of a member of the NHPA having to subscribe to the Digest. Well, I joined the NHPA in 1933 and have subscribed to every magazine or letter we have had down through the years. In the early forties when R. B. Howard saw fit to quit publishing the Horseshoe World for money reasons, then Pop Woodfield put out a newsletter for some time. After Pop passed away, Byron Jaskulek of New York City had a publication that helped


Mailbag—Continued out our communications with each other. We have a fine publication now in the Digest by Ellis Cobb. Now, if you pitchers want to see the Digest dry up on the vine, you can help do that easily. All you have to do is NOT subscribe to it and we lose our only means of communication. We can't function without it, fellows. The same people who holler about paying $3.50 for the magazine think nothing of having to pay $1.20 every day of the year for cigarettes. $1.20 a day is for 365 days a whopping bill of $438.00 and all you have to show for it is stained fingers, butts and in some cases emphysema. Think about this, men, and save your game. I have never smoked in my life and I can out-walk any man my age who smokes.

During the good years of Bob Pence, horseshoe pitching reached its zenith in so far as I am concerned. Witness the fact that in the 1972 World Tourna-ment there were 502 entries. 4 classes for men of 36 - 36 - 32 and another 32. 4 classes for juniors and 2 classes for the ladies. Good work, Bob Pence.

L. Schlosser Sweeps St. Louis Annual Spring Open The St. Louis annual Spring Open was held May 19. There was beautiful

weather, many spectators and 56 pitchers. The 50-shoe game system for Class A, B, and C was used, 40-shoe for all the rest. By using small pocket com-puters for ringers and innings, the men were able to keep averages and in-nings. However, being unfamiliar with the inning type of play, plus all ringers counting, the system was not too well taken by about half of the players. Most men prefer the point and cancellation game. Leo Schlosser won first in Class A; Class B won by Charley Picraux; Class C, Wendell Savage; Class D, Mark Lynch; Class E, George Johnsen; Class F, Fred Smith; and Class G, J. Eaton. The horseshoe pitchers sang a happy birthday rendition to Henry Franke on his 74th birthday ithis day.

CLASS A — Leo Schlosser, Oblong, 111. 7-0; Del Maroon, Altamont, 111. 6-1; Joe Carmack, Lacoma, Mo. 5-2; Les Miller, Brownstown, 111. 4-3; A. Ewertz, St. Louis, Mo. 3-4; Henry Franke, Centralia, 111. 2-5; Bill Courtwright, St. Louis, Mo. 1-6; Art Schroeder, Creve Ceour, Mo. 0-7.

The above seven classes represented the best tournament St. Louis ever held. There were a lot of new young pitchers that never participated in a horseshoe tourney before. We will shoot for nine classes in the fall tournament which will be held on Sunday, September 8, 1974, the Sunday after Labor Day. Entry fee $5.00 for all classes, trophy for first three places. Send 100-shoe score and entry fee to A1 Arunski, 5914 Leona, St. Louis, Mo. 63116, Phone 832-0578. First entries have choice of pitching. Entries close August 26, 1974. No late entries accepted due to notification of schedules. Classes A, B, C, pitch 1:30 p.m. 50 points, Classes D, E, F pitch at 10:00 a.m. 40 points. Classes G, H, I pitch 35 points start at 8:30 a.m. The inning system proved to be unpopular and unfamiliar to most players. The biggest problem is get-ting score keepers, especially in this area. Horseshoes in smaller towns draw more people that are really interested. Between now and the next tournament, we would like to get a poll of the players that are willing to pay boy scouts or girl scouts for keeping score. Send your remarks with your entry. Yours in pitching, A1 Arunski, Tournament Director. The Carondelet pitchers wish to thank all participants and the press for their fine cooperation. I personally want to thank the Journal for making our tournament a success.

Art Tyson Of Connecticut Wins Massachusetts Open Art Tyson won a close, well-pitched playoff game over Ed Domey to cap-

ture top spot in the 1974 Massachusetts Open. One ringer separated the play-ers after 36 shoes, but then disaster struck Ed in the form of an open box. Art gave Ed no opportunity to recover during the remainder of the game. Ty-son finished at 84%, Domey at 78%.

Playoff games decided the winners in Classes BB and F, Bob Sutton and Ed Harrington emerging as victors. If Joe Guy had lost his last game, Class E would have ended with a five-way tie for first, but Joe walked away with the game and the first-place trophy. Robert Davis sprung the biggest upset of the tourney by taking top prize in a strong Boys Class A.

This tournament provided a first for horseshoes, a rainout that wasn't. It was held on the eight indoor and twelve new outdoor courts at Heritage Rec-reation Center. On the first day of play the rain came after two games, mak-ing continued outside play impossible. A decision was made to shorten all games to 40 shoes. The three outdoor classes completed their games on eight courts (thanks to two no shows and two withdrawals) before the afternoon rounds were played. Men's Class A then pitched, followed by two more classes in the evening, made up of those players who could not return the following Sunday. All participants are thanked for gracefully accepting the decisions that permitted so many players to get in some pitching.

NOTE: — LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT THIS FUR-LINED SPITTOON This spittoon is undoubtedly the only one of its kind in the whole world. The brass, of

which it has been fabricated, is from the world's only known brass mine. The fur, of which the small, but precious spittoon is lined, is from a vermin known as

the Kraprat. The Kraprat is a distant relative of the Muskrat and Packrat, but its fur is far more valuable. The Kraprat is rapidly becoming extinct and as near as scientists can determine there are no more than a covey of five left in the entire world. The fur for this spittoon was obtained by trapping the Kraprat in the remote reaches of the Sandia Moun-tains where it is said that there were once literally millions of the furry creatures milling about in their natural habitat, located some 40 miles from land or water.

A professional Kraprat trapper was commissioned by the Albuquerque Horseshoe Club to catch this particular Kraprat so that the spittoon could be lined with the finest fur in existence.

After proper curing of the pelt the Kraprat fur is then very meticulously fitted inside the quality spittoon. Indeed, whosoever is fortunate enough to win this fur-lined spittoon wins the finest ever made.

Brewer Tough In Palermo Class E — No. Calif. Sacramento's Duane Brewer was only fifth in ringer percentage for the day

and four other players had higher games than his best, but when the smoke of battle cleared Duane had an 8-1 record and a first place trophy. Duane used the old formula of winning the tight games, and this he did by margins of 2, 2, 3 and 5 points, and leaving the high percentages to others. Zane Caffey of the host club had a tournament average of 27.3% and 3 high games of 38% compared to Duane's 15.1% and 22% but Zane's 7-2 record was only good for second place. Zane's teammate Larry Karlan also posted a 7-2 but couldn't match Zane's overall average.

Fraser Astounds Foes At San Francisco Class B Open Ken Fraser, pitching in his first adult tournament, displayed the cool of a

veteran and took the Class B title at Golden Gate Park. Fifty shoe games were played rather than the normal 50 point affairs to speed up the action. Ken, who hails from the host club lost only to San Jose's Joe Sadowski 42-28 en-route to a 4-1 record. Ken shot tournament high average of 52.8% and high game of 62% while Joe, with a 3-2 and 50.4% aggregate average salvaged second place over Oscar Statham of Stockton who also had a 3-2 but only 47.2 average.

Don Wheeler from Crossbay Mosswood club was untouched as he came through with a 5-0 record, a 48% average and 58% high game for the group 2 crown. Jack Parnell who hails from Grass Valley lost in an overtime 54 shoe game to Earl Blanton 37-35 to tie for second with Earl at 3-2 but his tourna-ment average of 42.1% won him the trophy anyway. James Randall also col-lected 5 wins to capture group 3 while Ed Bruins put together a 3-2 for second. Ernie Hall also came through his 5 contests undefeated in group 4 to win his second first place trophy of the month. Ernie continues to improve each out-ing posting a 45.2% ringer average in this one. Jim Cooper shot a 60% high game to help him break a 3-way tie for second with his 41.6% average. Group 5 saw Frank Swift hit a 5-0 to cop first place although Gene Hood accumulated a better average with 32% and a higher game of 38% in his second place finish.

Johnson Unbeatable At Vallejo (No. Calif.) C Open In a well attended Class C tournament at Vallejo, it was Cliff Johnson who

continues to look like a champion, who beat the field for a perfect 7-0. John Howell almost managed an upset as he got to 49 points against Cliff before finally succumbing. Ron Sanders edged Cliff in overall percentage but lost his last two games for a 5-2 record and second place. Marion Hawley posted high tournament game of 55.5%. Ernie Hall looked as though he had Group 2 sewed up when he beat previously untouched Bill Henry 50-23 in the sixth game to take a 6-0 record into his last game. It was not to be as Ken Woolery defeated Ernie 55-44 to force a playoff between Ernie and Bill. Bill then avenged his earlier loss by a 50-20 score and captured the first place trophy.

In group 3 Ernie Norton lost two of his first three games and Ernie Kim lost two out of his last three to each end regulation play with 5-2 records. In the ensuing playoff they proved how closely they were matched before Norton emerged with a very thin 50-49 win for the big trophy. Third place Roy Land scored 40 points or more in every contest winning 4 of the 7. No one scored over 40 points against John Morgan as he breezed to a 7-0 record in Group 4. John had high group game and average with 40.7% and 30.9% respectively


Vallejo — (Continued) for a triple kill. Vern Brightman managed a 5-2 for second. Group 5 action saw Gene Hood lose his first game and then roar back with 4 straight to force a playoff with Tom Kessler who lost only his middle game. The momentum was with Gene as he downed Tom by a 50-41 margin.
