Former Key Wester Sets State And Southern Bowling Record
(Special to The Citizen)
MIAMI, Fla., June 1.—Well the kegglers have been toppling the maples on the 'Paddy Watkins' owned Brunswick Bowling Alleys for the last eight days. Scores have been set and scores have been broken. And it seemed it just had to happen again. About 2 P. M. the maple crashers were gathered in the bowling centre talking over the fact that this was the largest 'Sweepstakes' ever held in these parts. And that besides all the records that were set and broken that entries for it had broken all previous on record. Just then someone said, 'Well, looks like Treacy Jones has set another state record with that 498 (for four lines)'. 'Yes, looks like she has this sewed up', another remarked. But just then someone piped up and said, 'I don't know now. Ebie Albury hasn't rolled yet'. 'Oh, go away, no one will break Jones' score', some yelled. Well, folks, would you believe it, into the door walks Ebie Albury. 'Can I roll my line now?' she inquired. 'Yep', replied Scotty. 'The foul man's up now and the official scorer will be ready when you are'.
Well, Mrs. Albury, wife of C. J. Albury, formerly of Key West, got on the runway, threw three practice balls. 'I'm ready', she announced. And she really was, folks. The foulman rang the foul bell signalling that he was going to start calling fouls. And they were off. The first ball Mrs. Albury threw she got a nine-pin bust, pick the single for a spare. And everyone knew right then that she was on her game. The crowd stood around and packed the seating gallery and watched spellbound. Each one was wondering how long she could keep the pace she was going. Everyone was waiting for the slump to come. But, to tell the truth, it didn't. She rolled a blistering 505, setting a new state and southern record. And, walking away with first prize in the 'sweepstakes'. After which everyone contended that the game is never over until the last ball is thrown.
Mrs. Albury is without a doubt Florida's outstanding lady bowler.
