DETROIT (October 12) — Bowling, viewed by one branch of show business — motion pictures theater owners — as a major threat to their operation, is receiving a friendly hand from WJR. Starting tomorrow, the state’s only 50,000-watter will air a Sunday night program, The Tenth Frame, with Fred Wolf, a former champion, as commentator.
Program will feature alley-side broadcast, which will be handled via wire recorder. Remotes from alleys are usually considered impossible because of the noise. Wolf did, however, handled the on-the-spot broadcasts from the bowling congress at Buffalo last year. END

DETROIT (November 26) — Bowling now merits recognition as a sport on radio, judging from the action on WXYZ in sending Fred Wolf, station bowling commentator, to Chicago to cover three special alley-side broadcasts. The airings, totaling 75 minutes, described the five-man match game world championship held there at the Samuelson Arcade.
The time was sold to Detroit’s E&B Brewing Company thru the D. B. Donner Agency for the event, in which Detroit teams participated. END
