Johnny Guenther, blond, freckle-faced and only 18, has been making quite a name for himself in Pacific Northwest bowl ing circles. The shy West Seatle hieh school graduate got interested in bowling when he took a job as a pin setter in his neighborhood bowling alley in 1951. Since then, his well con trolled curve ball has been steadily building up laurels i Johnny started in the" junior 1 league here and built his average up to 192 He developed so fast he was drafted into major league competition this season and now rolls with the Full-Play team in Seattle's two top leagues. The youngster raised many an old timer's evebrow last February when he rolled an 809 series?the highest mark ever to be set in Pacifie Northwest league pla.v. He had scores of 232, 287 and 290 in bettering the 801 mark set several years ago by Pete Gatta nini. veteran Seattle bowler. Johnny's miss in the 290 game came as he missed the 10 pin in the first frame. He spared on his second roll and then struck out. Earlier, Johnny made bowling news when he rolled a 299 in an exhibition game here, | He was initiated into the "700 Club" by Gattanini after the phe nomenal 809 series. And immedi ately after the initiation, young niienther scored a 789 total ? his first over the 700 mark aside from the 809. The pressure of rolling in the narfional American Bowling Con "rpcS tourney here put its mark on Tohnny's scoring, however. He -oiled a 594 (209-198-187) in his s'ncles series. 575 (210-178-187) in his doubels and slipped to 568 (219 JOHNNY Gl I NTHER 205-144) in the team event April 21. I But as Joe Razore, local bowl ing alley owner, puts it: "There's no mistaking it. The kid's got it. He's a good bowler. All he needs is a little more sea soning.'' And as far as Johnny is concern ed, he'll get that seasoning. He plans to continue bowling as often as he can. He figures maybe he'll even center his career around bowl ing, either in the alley business or in sometihng closely related. Rieht now, thoueh, he's just concentrating on his game ? and waiting to decide on his future | until after he gets "greetings" from his draft board.
