SPECIAL ISSUE OF 1986 TOURNAMENTS Due to the vast overflow of 1986 tournaments

that were not published during the 1986 season, the NHPA is publishing this special issue. It is

requested that all tournament promoters send in their respective results as soon as possible. Do not wait until several tournament results

have accumulated, that only creates a problem for the Editor. Remember **the deadline for

copy to send in is the 10th of the month previous to the date of issue.

5th VP & REGIONAL DIRECTOR'S REPORT By GENE VAN SANT

More and more race tracks across the country are staging "$100,000 Horseshoe Pitches." A track in N.J. and one in Calif, were two that I was aware of. Most recently, "Cantebury" in Minnesota held such an event. Our NHPA Regional Director for Min-nesota and the Dakotas was asked to supervise the event. That regional director, Len Lipovsky, along with his son, Dale Lipovsky, a two time world champion, really got involved. They gave six demonstrations on the track between races, answered questions, and gave advice over the loud speaker system. To quote Len, "It was great fun, exciting, and one of the most beneficial events for publicizing horseshoes that I have ever participated in." The rules are far different than our NHPA rules in that contestants throw from 47 foot! On the first pitch of the initial show Dale put a solid ringer on and the crowd went wild! "Tough luck Dale, in that you did not qualify for the $100,000." T.V. and radio celebrities were there and competed in a pitch-off for their favorite charity. These race track events may not be "Horseshoe" pitching

REGIONAL — (Continued)

as we in the NHPA know it, but is fine publicity for our organization. "Thanks Len and Dale for a job well done."

Continuing in the publicity vane, California held its state tournaments over Labor Day weekend, August 30-31. The site was the 16 court complex in Riverside, Calif. Les Burroughs, Regional Director for Calif., reported 209 entries. The weather was on the warm side, but aside from that, the courts and facilities were first rate.

Complete results will be published in the Digest so I will not dwell on it. What I want to inform you on is publicity! On my return from the World Tournament in Ainsworth I wrote to KCBS, the CBS TV channel for the Los Angeles area, the second largest TV market in the nation. I addressed my correspondence to "Kevin O'Connell." Kevin is the weather man and does most of his weather reports live on sites of community events around the basin area. I invited him to the Calif. State Horseshoe Tournament. I received a phone call from the program director on Wednesday, August 27th, that Kevin would be doing his weather from the tourna-ment site! They could not be there on either the 30th or 31st but did the live telecast from the courts on Friday the 29th.

I had the honor of being interviewed by Kevin, answering questions about the NHPA and organized horseshoes. The program was viewed by several million people in the market area. Kevin and I also threw two horseshoes on camera. Remember, this was live TV! Me nervous? Judge for yourselves. My first shoe hit my leg coming through the swing and wound up 25 foot in the air bouncing off the concrete plat-form! So much for my celebrity status. My next shoe, while not a ringer, was a good shoe, just a bit short, which is par for the course for me! Kevin managed to get both of his shoes in the pit. Not bad for a first time pitcher. We salvaged the day by having 10 year old Kevin Kecskes of Fontana, Calif, throw two shoes. Oh to be young again! He nailed them both, perfect ringers! By the way, Kecskes went on to win the State Junior Championships. He is a great young pitcher and just may be our next Walter Ray Williams, Mark Seibold or Allen Francis.

I have had many calls from people who saw the telecast wanting to know more about our organization. I have been stopped on the street by total strangers that recognize me from the program. None have asked for my autograph, however. A great pitcher, I will never be, but, I sure have fun and love the game. Maybe all those aspiring pitchers on seeing an "expert" throw a bummer will decide to take up the game. After all, "if "he" can hit the concrete, I won't feel bad when I do." I guess my point is that if we keep plugging away at the media, little by little we can and will gain the publicity that we so richly deserve.

The Horseshoe Pitcher's News Digest Editorial Office P.O. Box 1606 Aurora, Illinois 60507

Dear Mr. Cobb:

I would like to comment on the time frame Kevin Cone mentioned in his "Ringers Remembered" article.

Why do we pitchers bother keeping track of those errant shoes that do not wind up as ringers? We accomplish nothing by counting the shoe that doesn't get the job done. Close should only count with hand grenades! Ringers are the name of the game! Throw 2% or 92%, you are still trying only to make ringers. Counting only ringers is the ultimate solution to the time frame we are trying to solve. If we were to count ringers only as one point, a game could be a set number of shoes or points, count all ringers. Games would be much more on schedule, scorekeeping would be a dream come true. Judging would be a snap as only ringers would be in question. Spectators could look at the scoreboard and immediately know the game score and the percentage each pitcher is hitting! No more asking, "Hey, scorekeeper, what did those two have for average?" I heard that question hundreds of times in many dif-ferent tournaments. If we want the spectator and the money to become involved with our sport we must make a change.

We have a singles league which for a number of years has been using the count all ringers only method. Each pitcher keeps track of his ringers every four shoes on the board. Throwing fifty shoe games all pitchers know what they are throwing for average at all times. Very little bookkeeping, look at the scoreboards up and down the line and know what the other pitchers are throwing. Everyone knows their average for the game, the night, for their improvement and for tournament average.

MAILBAG — (Continued) The league is a real success usually with a waiting list to enter.

I have been fortunate to have pitched horseshoes in a few world tournaments with some great pitchers. I would love to live long enough to see these great ringer makers get on the national sport scene so the rest of the world can find out what we know is the greatest sport going! Watching Walter Ray Williams, Jr. make the big money knocking down the bowling pins is great. Watching the champ make ringers on national T.V. would be the greatest. Come on! Let's get this game modernized for everyone! Time is of the essence!

Sincerely,

Harvey Bilz 2107 Cottonwood Drive Janesville, Wl 53545

While ordering shipping boxes for Star Horseshoes last week, I came across an ad for "Bubble Pack." This is a common, low cost, lightweight, air filled, polyethylene, cellular cushioning used to protect various products in shipment.

My thought at that moment was, "What a good product to adapt for portable horseshoe courts," if it were layered in a four inch to six inch thickness. The top layers could be stapled to a frame with the bubbles face up to cushion shoes and create a stopping surface for sliding horseshoes. This frame could be built to fit down inside existing portable courts or any other court, indoor or outside. At indoor facilities the clay dust has been a large housekeeping problem. Bubble pack would solve that problem. No doubt the top layers may tear a bit, but if it got too bad, a new layer could be easily stapled to the frame in a matter of minutes.

I think this idea should be tried first in a portable court to see how it works. This product can be purchased in three bubble sizes; 1/8", 3/16" and 1/2" and is available in sheets of 12", 24" and 48" widths. The length of the roll is in 3 sizes: 250 ft, 500 ft, and 750 ft. | hope this idea will be helpful for our great sport.

Sincerely,

Al Boudreau, Jr.

Many tournaments are named for past members of a Club — pitchers of note who have died after spending years serving their club; a posthumous award, too late for the deceased one to know the respect his fellow pitchers had for him.

The Sonoma County Club in Santa Rosa, California, turned tricks around and nam-ed their June 28 tournament for a real live pitcher, a staunch supporter of the Club, a designer of the new shoe that bears his name — GREEOTT GRABBER.

Don Titcomb, 1960 World Champion, drove north to pitch a few 80% games to win top honors in Class A-1 over a strong field of Northern Cal men. Forty pitchers in all enjoyed the Club's new courts and clay. George Greeott, the shoe maker, along with Club president, Eldon Bryhan, are given credit for the professional layout and con-struction of the twelve new courts in Santa Rosa's environmentally pleasant Doyle Park.

EASTERN SIERRA is enjoying its new status as a split-off charter in Nor-thern California with a D and below tournament that attracted 42 eager pitchers, largely from north eastern part of the State, thus serving the purpose for which the charter was granted — to give an opportunity for many pitchers to become more ac-tive in the game. Many, many showed up to pitch; new names rarely, if ever, seen on old established horseshoe courts in the valley below to the west. A D-CLASS and below tournament as this one is represented, indicates the importance of lower class pitchers in this game where spread of ability is pronounced. Needless to say, everyone cannot be an A-1 pitcher (even though he thinks that would be great). Lower class pitchers have as much fun pitching as upper-class performers. Pitchers develop from the bottom up, so, be thankful that that opportune position to advance. Don't envy Titcomb and Williams; they're at the top and have no place to go; does a lower pitcher want to be stagnated as they are, with no place to go?

VERDAN ZELMAR OPEN W&J — June 29 at San Jose, California — Northern California boasts of having sponsored 90 sanctioned tournaments for 1986 — Here is yet another, and others following in profusion, attest to this volume of regulated pitching. San Jose Club had five local members in the top A-1 group, winding up with a percentage spread of 33.8% from top to bottom. Don Titcomb and Ed Floyd had a close game that could have gone either way, but didn't; Ed came in second. Junior boys had a tussle between brothers. Terry, the older one, won. Six women formed two groups that spread from top to bottom in percentage range.

INDEPENDENCE DAY OPEN W&J — July 4 at San Jose — Fireworks and horseshoes flew on this day of festive color and sustained noise. NHPA President Dave Loucks squeezed ringers from his trusty shoes to outdo five top performers; he had a top game of 74%. A local competitor had two 84% games but came in third (in-itials DT). Ties were the name of the game in this 4th of July tournament with 41 en-trants. Of fourteen ties, only one resulted in a play-off for 1st place. Women and juniors were scarce with three of the first and one of the latter participating.

B OPEN TOURNAMENT — July 5 — Yolo, in California's north-central valley featured 38 men pitchers. Top class, A-1, was taken by Joe Colt, a nearby valley pit-cher with 49.1%. Marion Hawley, a highly proficient active member of the Sonoma Club, stat wise, filled in the bottom hole of the tournament. Would it be disrespectful to mention that he's somewhat accustomed to being last — he merely shrugs it off, saying, "It 's the shoes!"

NORTH. CALIF. — (Continued) Pleasanton: Names of 16 men and 8 women on the pitching roster represented the best performers that Northern California could muster. To mention results of only a few individuals might seem unfair, an injustice to the fine pitching of others, all State and World-Class performers. Nonetheless, with no intention of degrading the pitch-ing of others, the top three in each group is given here:

MEN — Don Titcomb, 15-0-75.7 (top 4 high-games-average 85.2); Jesse Gonzales, 12-3-72.8 (top 4 H-G-A 82); Dave Loucks, 11-4-67 (top 4 H-G-A 75).

WOMEN pitched a double round robin: Sharon Paddock, 13-1-75.7 (top 4 H-G-A 85.2); Virginia Sturla, 11-3-66.1 (top 4 H-G-A 77); Yvonne Mauzey, 8-6-53 (top 4 H-G-A 60.5).

Sharon Paddock, California State Champion 1984-85, coming through on her winn-ing record with 75.7 ringer percentage must have been watched closely by Don Tit-comb, World Champion 1960, for in winning, he likewise pitched a 75.7 percentage.

Horseshoe pitchers search diligently for ways to impress the public that this game has merit. What could be more forceful persuasion than a National T.V/presentation showing rhythmic beauty of the game — a thinking game for men, women and juniors, not one of supreme physical exertion: This show, a game between Sharon and Dad!

OPEN W-J TOURNAMENT AT YOLO in the valley, July 6, is sanctioned go #52, leaving 38 more (NCHPA has registered 90 for '86) before the long pitching season ends. Pressure to win became apparent, for in most all classes severan 2-3 and 4-way ties developed for 2nd, 3rd and lower places. Junior pitchers numbered 8, women 7 and men 29.

JIM MILLER MEMORIAL — (B-OPEN) TOURNAMENT July 12, Colusa, California. Jim Miller, for years, led the Horseshoe Club at Colusa and was one of the leaders in establishing the club's superb pitching park courts shaded from the valley's hot summer sun by expansive Sycamore trees. Colusa is in Sacramento Valley Rice country where thousand-acre fields, flat as a pancake, are flooded in season as growing rice demands. The tournament drew 54 pitchers closely ranked in percen-tage standing in each of the seven classifications from B down to F. Chuck Seal won the top (B) group with 57.5%; Vern Gosney took the (C) group with 42.5%; Don Pur-dum won the (D) class with 38.4%; Mel Long, Jr. won (E-1) class with 38.1%. Dwain Hettinger took (E-2) with 26.4%; Lee Hardy won class (E-3) with 19.7%; Randy Daniel won Class (F) with 23.6%.

MONTE LATINO OPEN TOURNAMENT July 13 at Sacramento: Monte, a World In-termediate Champion iptcher is still in there holding his own, but NHPA PRESIDENT DAVE LOUCKS came through with a 6-1 record and 64.2% to take top honors in Class A-1; Bill Hines took class (A-2) with 49.4%; Jim Long won class (A-3) with 38.8%; Class (A-4) was won by Mike Holbrook with 33.3%; Class (A-5) was won by Bill Botelli with 23.5%.

GOLD DIGGERS DAYS OPEN & W, July 19 at Indian Valley in the Sierra Nevada mountains: Ed Floyd took Class (A-1) with a 63.5% average; Class (A-2) was won by Lee Oliver pitching 39.5%; Class (A-3) was won by Jay Bush with 30.4%; John Rilea won class (A-4) pitching 27.5%; Terry Wood won class (A-5) with 31.5%; Leo Wanner won class (A-6) pitching 17%; Gordon Brown came through to win class (A-7) with 17.5%; in the women's group Lillian Lloyd won class (W-1) pitching 34.6% and Marilyn Brown took class (W-2) with 35.4%.

STOCKTON HORSESHOE CLUB: It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Chuck Hicok, July 16,1986. Chuck was a charter member of the Stockton Horseshoe Club and he and his wife Barbara were active in horseshoes for several years. Chuck's humor and wit will be missed by all of us who knew and loved him.

BILL WEATHERS OPEN TOURNAMENT July 19 at Turlock, California: Class (A-1) was won by Emmett Schroeder pitching 57%; Jim Garrett won (A-2) with 35.1%; and Art Rector took class (A-3) with a 23% game average. Only 19 pitchers competed in this tournament, for the Gold Diggers Days Tournament at Indian Valley drew the crowd.

ART FELGENHAUER OF BERWYN, ILLINOIS NAMED NHPA SANCTIONED CLUB DIRECTOR OF THE YEAR

Dear Friends:

Recently I received a letter (7/1/86) from Terrence Dougherty, National Director Sanctioned Club/League Programs. This letter informed me that I was named the 1986 NHPA Sanctioned Club Director of the Year. Also, that I would receive a plaque in effect, later in the year.

I was both excited and overwhelmed with this news. Words cannot express my en-joyment and sincere appreciation of receiving this great honor. I shall display this award withpride and place it with and among my most precious possessions.

I want to thank all of the people in the NHPA Program that were involved in reward-ing me this great honor. Also, I want to thank the following:

Alois Vana, Berwyn Park District — Commissioners, Management & Staff. Maurice A. Dore; AVF — Berwyn Horseshoe Pitchers' Ass. — Membership. Norm Seaman, Cermak Rd. Business Assn. (Cicero & Berwyn) — Membership. Ethel Car-raro, Life Newspaper (Berwyn, Cicero & Stickney) — Membership. Joseph J. Lan-zillotti, Mayor of Berwyn & Entire Staff. Downers Grove Park District — Administra-tion & Entire Staff. AVF — Downers Grove Park District Horseshoe Club — Member-ship. Pete Moon, Australian NHPA Director & President — Pitcheroos Horseshoe Club. (The AVF-Berwyn HPA Sister Club, in Australia.)

Without their support and faith in me, I would not have been able to progress and accomplish my success.

"Therefore, upon receiving this honor and award; I accept them on behalf of all my friends, associates and members!"

I shall continue to serve the sport of horseshoe pitching and the NHPA, to the best of my ability.

Sincerely, Arthur V. Felgenhauer 3030 S. Wesley Avenue Berwyn, Illinois 60402

MISSISSIPPI STATE DIVISION NHPA What a tournament we had! The first MS state open tournament sanctioned by the

N.H.P.A. was an outstanding success. If you missed this one, you really missed out. 32 trophies were awarded to the top 4 in 8 separate classes. Those 32 people will be recognized by National Headquarters and will be written up in the News Digest. 63 pitchers signed up. There were 4 no-shows. Mary Turner was there all the way, but she could not pitch because of severe back pains. She did help with scorekeeping.

I cannot name everyone that helped make this tournament successful, but some have to be mentioned by name. All facilities we used were furnished to us by John and Charlotte Bradley. I do not believ we could have had this tournament without them. We all thank you for everything. Bob Bolen took home "The Sportsman of the Weekend" trophy because both hot days he was scorekeeper, dirt digger, sweeper, raker and pitched his heart out. A few more — Mike and Davi Uher, Marty Strak, Elton Balius, Bob and Tina Bruster, Bob and Diana Hill. The help they gave me in

The Horseshoe Pitcher's News Digest/Special Issue, 1986

MISS. STATE — (Continued) scorekeeping was really great. I thank everybody for helping me and I thank everybody for showing up.

15 pitchers from Louisiana were here and we all know they are dedicated pitchers. 7 of them took trophies home. About 30 Louisiana folks were here all weekend and we all thank each and every one of them for their help and support. Mr. John Wilson and Mr. Jack Actchley have done so much to help us to be successful. Our thanks to Bob and Bernice Stowe from Alabama. Bernice taught all of us about scorekeeping and she helped keep records all weekend. We all appreciate these folks and want them all back again.

We had super horseshoes both days. All the play-offs for first place awards were games that the losers as well as the winners can be proud of. You can see on the at-tached sheet who all the winners were.

"Renee" won the calculator and Mary Turner won the subscription to the "News Digest." Thanks to everybody that bought tickets, the profits all go in our treasury.

Let me talk about the future. We plan to hold our "First Annual Labor Day Weekend Tournament" the weekend of 30-31 August. I plan to have both men and women's singles this time. This will help prepare us for the first State Championship Tournament the first weekend in November. I will get all the details to you as soon as possible, but let's plan to make Labor Day a bigger, and if possible, better tourna-ment than the one we just finished. I made mistakes on our first tournament and I promise to try and not make any the next time. I need more help than I got this last time and I have to depend on you for this help. These next 2 tournaments will definitely be sanctioned by the Nationals. John and Charlotte are going to add 2 new courts. This will help speed up the round robin games.

Look over the attached sheets. If you want any of the items before the price goes up, let me or Goldie know as soon as possible. A very small part of these prices goes into our treasury and we need all we can put in for the State Championship Tourna-ment. The only thing we do not have to pay for is the facilities furnished by John and Charlotte Bradley. It takes a lot of money to put a State Charter on solid ground.

I have to mention "Speck" Horner agin. "Speck" is the man that has gotten us on television and in the newspapers. He also has recruited many, many people into the N.H.P.A. The plaque we gave him does not say it all, but it does tell him how much we appreciate all his efforts. Keep going "Speck."
