J., as host for the 1949 con-' gress. Detroit already had been chosen as the 1948 host city. i The New Jersey convention city wort by a slim seven votes in a secret ballot requested re-quested by Movie Comedian Harold Lloyd and Bernard G. Luethy. Camden, N.J., after a voice vote was 'disputed. Martino automatically stepped up into the presidency, succeed-: ing Bill Vlau, Madison. Wis. John! J. McManus was named vice! president. The congress turned down a resolution that nonCaucasians be; admitted. Father Charles T. Ca-row Ca-row of New York introduced the' resolution and Father Michael S. Wasniewski, Denmark, Wis., opposed op-posed it. j Because of the shortage of maple pins, use of laminated pins was approved. The convention also made a change in the so-called 'alley-, man" rule, providing that effective ef-fective Aug. 1 an alley-man will; be considered one who, as part of his job, actually bowls and thus receives an advantage over the bowler who has another source of employment. The National Bowling j Writers Asa'n. meanwhile named Joe Wilman, Chicago, 1945 match game champion and 194S all-evenU titlist, as bowler of the year. The convention delayed yesterday's yester-day's kegling, but when the rolling roll-ing began the all-events standings underwent a shakeup. Eddie Koepp, Battle Creek. Mich., rolled into second with 1942; Joe Norris, Detroit, Mich., third with 1935. and Felix Gel-hausen, Gel-hausen, New York, fourth with 1924. Andy Varipapa, New York, took all events fifth with 1906 and singles second with 715. for the roses," before a crowd of 50,840 at Jamaica. But while the racer's stock among eastern contenders rose, it was more than anything else a personal triumph for jockey Eddie Ed-die Arcaro. The little fellow, who has won the- derby three times, was up on both winners and he doesn't know which of today's victors he is going to ride at Churchill Downs come May 3. It marked only the third time in history that the wood has been run that it was split up into two sections, and the winner in the first today Phalanx showed everything every-thing it takes' to conquer the field at Churchill Downs. He won in what looked to be the easiest way coming from behina and hitting the wire going go-ing away. His time was 1:43.2 against the 1:45 which "I will-registered. will-registered. Arcaro. a Kentucky-born Italian, Ital-ian, let Phalanx coast until they reached the head of the stretch. Up to then Owners Choice had been leading all the way. Arcaro lashed his whip three times on the Whitney three-year-old and that was all Phalanx needed. Carolyn A., the only filly ind one of the three non-derby elig ibles in the race, came up fast to take second place from the early pace setter, Owners Choice. An odds on favorite. Phalanx paid $3.90, $2.90 and $2.50 across the board while Carolyn A. returned re-turned $9.20 to place and $5.60 to show. Owners Choice paid $4.90 to show. I Will, like Phalanx, came from behind, but he was running run-ning against a lower class of horses.. Cornish Knight, the winner of the experimental in which Phalanx finished third, faded in the stretch and barely lasted Tor third place with Stepfather closing fast to take second money. . . . All the horses in the second section were eligible for the derby der-by and among them I Will was the third choice. He paid $8.90, $4.70 and $3.00 while Stepfather returned $8.30 and $4.60 and Cornish Cor-nish Knight $2.70 for show.
