A keen Bowling rivalry that took root about twelve years ago will be resumed tonight when Marty Cassio of Raahway and whitey Munn of Hillside, two of the East' leading , keglers open their fourty game challenge match at the Centre Recreation allys. Ten games will be rolled, with the second block being held tomorrow night. The match will conclude next week-end.
Cassio has been moving along at a rapid pace, having scored recent victories over Junie McMahon, Ray Nolen, the Centre Classic champion, and Frank Serpico, who conceded to Marty at the halfway mark of their duel two weeks ago.
Munn, who had been inactive for a year, hurled a challenge at Cassio just before the Serpico match. Whitey has been beaten often by his Rahway rival, but he feels the years rest has done him a world of good and contends he's bowling better now than he has in many years. Just to prove his point, Munn chalked up a 199-pin triumph over Andy Varipapa in a twnety-game match last week-end.
Brilliant ten-Game Set
Whitey was never more brilliant than in the first block Saturday at Centre. He had a giant average of 246.4, winding up with big games of 222, 286, 279, 256 and 256. Naturally, he's hoping to uncork the same brand of pin-toppling against Cassio.
Cassio who throws a straight ball as compared to Munn's sweeping hook, is as cocky as he was before the McMahon, Nolen and Serpico contests. There isnt a bowler in the country whom Marty fears. He has flung challenges at the best of them, including champion Ned Day, and strangely enough hasn't had many takers.
The title Rahway tailor claims to have beaten Munn fourteen times since their rivalry began. And he says Whitey has defeated him only once - the first time they met. This time they'll be battling for the highest stake ever, and the fans are expecting to see the fur and the wood fly plenty.
