Jim Solomon Captures Vanport, Pennsylvania Spring Warm-Up
Jimmy Solomon of Uniontown went undefeated in the first major outdoor tournament of the Keystone State season to win the spring championship. Not far behind was a young newcomer to Pennsylvania tournaments, Jim Knisley of Bremen, Ohio. Knisley displayed exceptional poise as he posted his record of 3 wins and 2 losses, and 76.8% ringers even with the handicaps of wind and cold temperatures.
The
Beaver Valley horseshoe organization, under the direction of Herman Boyer, is
to be congratulated for finding a new site and hosting this annual spring
tournament. One hundred year old shade
trees, playground facilities for the kids, clean rest rooms within a hundred
yards, and a snack bar for sandwiches, drinks, etc., makes Vanport one of the
best tournament sites anywhere. The
Pennsylvania association hopes to make extensive use of these facilities in the
future.
