Citations: 1923 Sheboygan Press-Telegram (Wisc.) (Apr. 10) “Rotarians Not At Their Best In Wire Tourney” p. 3: DeWitt Riess, another good kegler, was not up to standard. His three-game score of 455 was not anywhere near what he is capable of doing. 2004 Rick McCorkle Daily News (Longview, Wash.) (June 25) “Longview-Kelso teams fair well in All-Stars tournament”: Hayden, Idaho, kegler Gaylah Spackman won the all-events with a tournament-record 2150, a 238.9 average for nine games.
