Cragg Still Leads City Bowling Title Despite Elimination
Harold Cragg remains the city bowling leader with a 200 average over 24 games, but missing 60 percent matches knocks him from league honors. Al Baressi sits at 192 for 63 games. Ray Burr, a former co champion, has not bowled this season. A Cragg Baressi 16 or 20 game series would draw strong interest. Also notes Cubs Giants race buzz from Dan Zileh and coaches approve no center jump change in basketball rules.
