While Jack earned $500 for second, William Knoth, Patchogue, NY finished third with a 196 worth $300 and fourth went to Tony Jimenez, W. Babylon, NY with a 178 earning him $250.

With the historic low scoring all 4 bowlers were within 20 pins of each other going into the last 2 frames. William Tudy finished first with a strike and 9 to force Jack to knock down 17 pins to win.
