★ THE SCOKItOARP
Peoria Bowling Tourney Is
Sport's Biggest Brother Act
BY HAKJtY GBATSON
NIA Sports Editor
T^JEW YORK—(NEA —There nave been many brother combinations
in sports—the Co\ elegies, DiMaggios, Walkers, Deans and
'-oopers, to name those that come to mind off-hand and suck to base-
balL
But for mass participation and keen competition, no other sport
ever brought out nearly as many sets as The Peoria, 111.. Star Brothers'
Bowling Tournament.
More than 2000 combinations are expected to participate in this
year's week-long 27th edition during the Christmas holidays. Fred W
luerk. the veteran sports editor originated the show in 1322 with a
modest 113 couples knocking down pins. Last year's production
attracted a record-smacking 18o5 teams, 3710 brothers. It s a two-
man handicap meet with only full-blooded brothers eligible.
Tuerit s piomotion brings the milkman and the banker together
again, keeps tne single guy in contact with the married brother, has-
in-laws turning out in droves to lend verbal encouragement.
Walter Hagenbucher bowls with his brother, Charley. An electri-
cian. Charley years ago stopped 23,000 volts while repairing a line.
Doctors said he would never walk or exercise the use of his senses
again. He doesn t walk, but he bowls—from a wheelchair.
I^WO years ago Jimmy Ley land came ail the way from Lancaster
England, to join his brother, Tom. He had never bowled, but got
such a bang out of it that he returned last winter.
One of the pace-setters a few years back was a man on crutches
Paul Bianstetter of Fort Madison, la. With that "handicap" Paul
bowled m three leagues, authoring an almost unbelievable 200 average
in one, 132 in another and 130 in the third. Paul's crutches were not
his biggest handicap, however, for the major pain was brother Basil,
toting a meager 125 average.
Robert and Clarence Rockhold set the all-time tournament record
with a booming 1401 pins scattered in 1940.
Champions have never repeated. Consequently, the purpose of the
show to give less spectacular bowlers an opportunity to win—hat
been fulfilled.
The Peoria Star Brothers Bowling Tournament is one of America s
most unique sports events, and one of the production's more refreshing
features is that it helps keep families together.
