Callicoon Lanes is offering all lea­gue bowlers in its establishment a chance to win a “free game” of open bowling. 

During the month of February, a man who rolls four strikes in a row and a woman who scores three strikes in a row during league play will receive a free game chip good through April at Calli­coon lanes. Anyone who qualifies should advise house management immediately upon bowling the required number of strikes in order to receive their free game chip. 

The Sullivan County Men’s Bowling Asso­ciation 25th Annual Championship Tourna­ment being held in Jeffersonville, N.Y. got underway January 31. Team events are taking place at Colonial Inn, with Doubles and Singles being rolled at Jeff Alley. Additional dates for this tournament are February 7, 8, 14, 15, 21 and 22, with entries closing prior to the last squads on February 22. Handicap is 100% of 1000 for Team, and of 200 for Doubles and Sin­gles, with a maximum of 60 pins per game per player. Cash and trophy prizes will be awarded. In addition, the team event winner will have its entry fee paid to the New York State Tournament. Entry form with detailed information can be obtained at local bowling establishments. 

The Monday Night Mixed Doubles League at Callicoon Lanes saw the following lea­gue action of January 26. Jack Kelly 615-226-211, Dick Coney 561-208, Bob Elco 555-203, Joe Alvarez 540-191, and Ron Scheuren 191. Also Joan Scheuren 522-188, Ellie Wells 517-184, Barb Miller 502-182, and Mickey Behling 178.

As a point of information, there are over eight million sanctioned league bowlers in the United States alone per a report by “The Woman Bowler” magazine.

Harking back to a time when social clubs were popular, Carol Coney reports on the bowling action at Callicoon Lanes. The bowling lane, located on Route 97, just south of Callicoon, is currently closed.
