Elmer Hohl Captures Eastern National Title With 15 Straight
Elmer Hohl, the 1965 World Champion, went undefeated in the Class A competition to become the 1966 Eastern National Champion. Close behind was Paul Focht losing only to Elmer and Wes Kuchcinski. Elmer managed to compile a phenomenal 83.3%, a new record for the Eastern National. Paul was not far behind with an 81.1%. Tournament was played at Scotty’s Courts, south of Washington, Pennsylvania.
Class
B was won in a pitch off by Joseph Wohar of Donora, Pa. by defeating Grover
Anderson of Parkersburg, West Virginia.
Glenn Brown, the only man other than Elmer to go undefeated in the
competition, won Class C. Class D was
captured by a relatively new man in the horseshoe game, Gilbert Fridinger. In Class E, the ever pleasant Dean Mayes
from Pine Grove Mills, Pa., was the winner.
