$50,000 NEW JERSEY OPEN
Edison Lanes, Edison, N.J., Aug 9-13, 1974
A Reprise From Carmen

Carmen Salvino withstood a strong closing rush by Don McCune to win the $50,000 New Jersey Open at Edison Lanes.

Salvino topped his fellow Chicago-area bowler, 208-192, in the championship game, after McCune had steamrollered three opponents to get to the final match.

For Salvino, it was Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) career win number 12, his first since winning the $85,000 Lincoln-Mercury Open at New Orleans during the winter of 1973.

Both player; spared twice to open the title game. Then Salvino doubled in the third and fourth frames and added three more in the seventh, eighth and ninth frames and McCune just couldn't catch up.
