Williams-Butler Duel Ends In Draw
First 700 Of Summer, Average At 221 For Hadley Star

"Only won two after a 742?" Debbie asks

South Glens Falls - Don Williams fired the second-highest series in Forever Young history Thursday afternoon, fashioning a 742 on games of 248, 277 and 217. However, Floyd Butler, the bowler with that record (764 accomplished just last year) shot a steady 657 that began with a pair of 222s and ended with 213. As a result, Fire and Ice was able to offset Williams' feat except for the second game and come away with a 2-2 stalemate with the Tomahawks at Kingpin's Alley.

John Urban counted 214-190-180 for 584 as the Over The Hill Gang swept the previously league-leading Galway Guys. Chuck Boykin anchored the losing effort with 216-546. Mark Basso had a 231 in the middle of a 552 series, but his Yanks fell 3-1 against the Marauders - who welcomed back Audrey Baker from her winter hiatus.

Wyman Swinton rolled 542 on the bottom for Leftover in their 3-1 defeat at the hands of Long-Short. Roy Brady backed Williams' play with 192-531 and Mike White made his debut with 179-511 in a pacing role for the missing Pribis duo.

Fire and Ice sit atop the standings with a 9-3 record, followed by the Tomahawks and Long-Short at 8-4. The late-arriving pair of Phil Hack and Barb Arnold (North & South) sport eight wins and no losses and are technically fourth.
