Knights of Columbus Bowling

By Tommy O'Neill

Like Ol' Man River, the Floral Park Knights of Columbus Keglers jes keep rollin' along! They continue their onslaught of the Sterling Lanes lumber in the usual "2345" fashion, acting like a runaway truck on a steep downhill road that promises to get steeper as each week passes.

Tom Moore was The Bell-ringer in The Hotshot Department, scorching the lanes with 200, 205 and 232 beauties to card a sizzling 637 set, leaving lots of space between him and runnerup John Fittipaldi, whose 201 loner led to a 576 total, followed by a 225 single, 548 triple tossed by Fred Dorgler Sr. A Jim Kearney 204 single gave him a 540 triple, a whisker up on Joe Silvestri's 537 set and a 202 loner, 531 set posted by Jack Price. Mike Honan was in the crowd with a 530 total and Frank Dehler spilled 523 sticks, 221 in one outing, nipping Greg Simicich's 521 that had a 201 in its makeup. Eddy Hackimer put a 520 in the records, edging a Paul Mastronardi 517 with "Knobby" Gregory a bit off the pace at 513. Mike Derby showed a 505 for his night's work, whlie Bob Sheehan was carving out a two-game 363 set, built on a 214 single effort and Pat Murphy had his face pressed to the Hotshot window with a 499 "almost."

Team action saw the Jack Price-led We're Not Ready combine eke out a 4-3 decision over The Hurricanes, piloted by Greg Simicich, while John O'Grady was leading his Whatateam four to a 5-2 win over the Marksmen, with Pat Sweeney as Chief Sharpshooter. Bob Sheehan's Fathers and Sons unit did a 5-2 number on the MP-JR forces of Mike Honan and Frank Dehler led his Mike's 4 to a 5-2 win over The Little Guys, with Ed Hackimer in the driver's seat. Ending the night's "Columbian Cannonading," the Medical Marvels, bossed by Tom Moore, whitewashed the Team Moss 2 aggregation, via a 7-0 count. was The Caboose on The Star Train with a 201.
