W. EDGAK Back in 1910 Garner Sky, then a lad of 17, was walking out Grand River at Fourteenth. As he approached McCurdy's bowling alleys he heard a lot of laughter, and decided to walk in and see what all the fun was about, and he's been going into bowling alleys "just for the fun of it" ever since. From those friendly games heS Buds Would Turn Tables on Stroll Five Chicago Pin Spillers Hope to Find Range Here Like Detroiters Did in Windy City Special to the Free Pre CHICAGO. March 4 The Chicago Budweiser bowling team, ABC champion, its sponsors and a group of its followers will leave tonight for Detroit where Saturday the team will resume its quest of the National match -game championship in the final 12 games of competition with the Stroh Bohemians, defending title holders.

The Chicagoans will have to overcome a double handicap to add the match crown to their ABC honors. First, they are 72 pins behind the Strohs, having knocked down 12,589 pins to the Stroh's 12,661 in the first two blocks, rolled in Chicago last week-end. Secondly, they will have to meet the Strohs on the defending champions' home alleys. They are the alleys on which the Strohs turned a 425-pin deficit into a 523 advantage in winning their crown last November. The Budweiser team will be intact and Capt.

Joe Wilman probably will use the same line-up that rolled last week-end and has been in action in. league matches this week. The team rolled a poor 2876 In the Windy City League Monday night, but came back with 3335 in the Classic League Wednesday. In the Classic match, George Theel, who's firing has been off, collected a 265 game and a 671 for the series. Bill Harga-don, who wound up the week-end competition against the Strohs with a 753 series, got 696 Wednesday, and Wilman came up with 699.

Johnny Small rolled 675. The Budweisers' hopes lie in the possibility of their finding the range on the Strohs' alleys as well as Detroit found it on the Buds' home lanes in Cascade Recreation. Such totals as the 3453 hit by the Strohs and 3408 by the Buds in closing their competition last Sunday are far above average, and the fact the local team added a 3335 Wednesday indicates it may burn up the Detroit alleys, too. Basketball Gehringer Calls Grove Fastest of All Charlev Names Lef tv over Feller; Ex-Tiger Believes Ted Williams Could Outslug Babe Br the Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO, March 4 Lieut. Charles Leonard Gehringer, trim and natty in his Navy uniform, looked back over 17 years of baseball as a Detroit Tiger star and did not even hesitate over the question: Who was the fastest pitcher you ever faced? "It was Lefty Grove, when he was with the Philadelphia Athletics," he said with finality.

"Grove threw the hardest ball I've seen. He was faster than Bob Feller, of Cleveland, in my opinion. "Grove also was the toughest I ever batted against. Being a left hander he had that advantage on a left-handed hitter. Feller has a terrific speed ball but I had less trouble with him than with Grove.

DIZ PLENTY GOOD, TOO "The best National League pitcher I ever went up against was Dizzy Dean, of the Cardinals. He had everything, speed and a good curve. They used to talk about Diz being eccentric but he- sure was smart on the mound. I never batted against Walter Johnson but most of the baseball men who should know claim that in his prime with Washington he was faster than any other pitcher the game has known." Lieut. Gehringer, newly assigned to the Navy Pre-Flight School at St.

Mary's College, will coach baseball there. He says that he will not return to the professional end of the sport, either as a player or a manager. His 17-year batting average of .321 makes him something of an authority on hitting. During his time he sized up two mighty maulers, namely the one and only Babe Ruth, of Yankee fame, and Ted Williams, the more recent slugger of the Boston Red Sox. LIKES TED OVER BABE Of the two, Gehringer leans toward Williams in the matter of power hitting.

This in spite of the fact the Bambino set the home run record of 60 in 1927. "Ruth had an easier right field to hit to in Yankee Stadium than Williams had in the Red Sox park, with its windy hazards. I'd like to have seen them on the same club. I think Ted would have outpowered the Babe." fill it it i i urn i ii ir linn mi ii iiiiimii i. i.ur-.n I iinnii Mnnrll nmi a A wwitaiairf mam Harold Will Take Over Rear Guard Position for 2 Tilts Against the Hawks BY JOHN X.

SABO With the National Hockey League championship to be decided during the next two weeks, the leading Detroit Red Wings found themselves on the receiving end of some bad news Thursday afternoon. Jimmy Orlando, rough-and-ready riefenseman, will not play in the two games with Chicago Saturday at Olympia and Sunday in Chicago because of a knee injury. Manager Jack Adams doled out the sad information and at the Name time announced that Harold Jackson is being called up as a replacement. Jackson is the Windsor boy who has been doing so well with the Indianapolis Capitols. He was called up for one other game a few weeks ago and proceeded to set up two Ked Wing goals.

"Orlando strained a ligament in his knee in a collision with Murph Chamberlain in Boston." Adams said, "and the knee has not responded to treatment as we had hoped. We believe, however, Jimmy will be hack in action next Thursday for our game with To-lonto at Olympia." In calling up Jackson, Adams actually was exchanging a forward for a defenseman with the Capitols. Joe Fisher, big right winger, was called up to replace the injured Eddie Wares last Tuesday. With Wares ready to resume a playing role. Fisher has been sent back to Indianapolis while Jackson is scheduled to report Friday.

In the two-game, week-end series with Chicago, Detroit will have its big opportunity to virtually clinch the NHL title. Since Boston will be idle on those two nights, two Detroit victories would put the Wings five points In front of the Bruins. Although Detroit and Chicago are even so far as games played between the teams this winter, the Black Hawks haven't won a game in Olympia since March 15, 1940. They have played here 12 times since that date, having only two ties to show for the Detroit invasions. POKE CHECKS: The Syd Howe-Mud Bruneteau-Carl Liscombe line has scored 57 goals in 43 games compared to the 51 made by the famed Marty Barry-Herbie Lewis-Larry Aurie combination during the 1935-oG season.

On this Adams "The Barry-Lewis-Aurie combination still is tops in my opinion. The competition was much tougher in that season." George Allen, veteran left winger, has been dropped back to defense by Chicago since Aud Tuten joined the Marines Chicago has won only three games away from home fill winter. Free Press Photo 2-C JOHNNY LIPON He's happy in the Navy- graduated to league bowling and 15 years ago was one of the stars of the old Knights of Pythias League that bowled on the Grand Alleys. "It was in that league," he tells you, "that I reached my peak as a bowler. I had a 257 game there one night and wound up with a 642 series.

That's the highest single game and the best series I ever bowled." Better than high scores to him is the friendships he has built up on the bowling alleys and anytime he talks bowling. Garner will eventually get around to telling about Al Kanberg, his pal through the years. "Al and I always doubled together at the ABC. the Central States and the Elks," he tells you. And it was at the Garden alleys in a Central States tournament that an event happened that Garner remembers best.

"Al Kanberg always was a friend." he says, "but that afternoon I came closest to doubting it and I often have kidded him about it since. As usual we teamed it in the doubles and I rolled a 615 series. But Al gave me a mere 460 and we finished far down the list. "As soon as the doubles were finished we started the singles and you should have seen Al bowl. He was far from the fellow who just hit 460.

Instead of running into splits and misses as he did In the doubles he kept pounding away at the 1-3 pocket and rang up a 656 series. I think it was the best series he ever bowled. And I've always accused him of laying down in the doubles with me, so he could save himself for the singles and Former Tiger Lipon Says Life of a Sailor Is Grand Johnny Lipon, former Tiger shortstop, was a visitor at Briggs Stadium Thursday but did not drop in to ask General Manager Jack Zeller for a job. Now a GARNER SKY Bowls for fun of it get a bigger share of the prize fund." Six years ago Garner was forced to quit bowling because of ill health. But he has started to bowl again and plans to try a comeback next year.

He is stationed at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. "Boy, I like the Navy fine," he said when asked the inevitable question. "I like the food, the fellows everything. It is a great branch of the service." Asked if he intended to play ball on the Great Lakes team next summer, Lipon said he did not know. "I applied for a place on the team," he said, "but in the Navy you never know in advance what is going to happen.

They tell you what they want you to do when they want you to do it. If they want me to play ball they'll tell me in due time and if they don't, well, I have applied for a job as an aviation machinist's mate or one in aviation ordnance. They give a fellow three choices of jobs and those were my three." Lipon said he has seen little of baseball men since he entered the service. He had a half hour's talk with Lieut. Mickey Cochrane, who led the Great Lakes baseball team last season.

He also met Chief Petty Officer John Lu-cadello, formerly of the St. Louis Browns. But those were all. Lipon is in Detroit on a nine-day furlough. He has orders to report at Great Lakes when his furlough expires, but he has no idea of what he will do or where he will go after that.
