Conditions and Prospects Of
the Game Not So Very
Gloomy.

The bowling clubs of the city have
two more days in which to enter the
annual winter bowling tournament
given by the DAILY GLOBE. Six clubs
have already entered, but there are still
as many more that have not made final
declarations. Probably owing to the
election excitement the bowlers in
many eases failed to note the condi-
tions of the coming series of games.
This fact has been made apparent by
the many questions that have been
asked the past few days. Therefore, it
may be eXpedient to produce, in sub
stance, what bias already baen published
N the GLOBE.
All games for the GLOBE prizes are to
be played at F0;ey's, and five men shall
play on side, while each player will
roll thilty balls. OF the European game,
as it is styled. Probably not more than
two games will be played any one week,
but that will be matter that will de-
pend largely upon the choice and con
venience OF the participants themselves.
The tourney last season was begun late
in the season, and therefore it was nee
essary to play every night, and for time
Wo games q night were rolled. This
was found to be hardship on the bowl
erS, as it deprived them of other pleas
ures and pastimes. But where only two
games are played in week the effect
Will be the reverse of q hardship. There
is no recreation more enjoyable than
bowling, and it is a sport that develops
the latent prowess and forces of the
Young men in marked degree. When
the clubs who have failed to enter to
the present fully realize the conditions
there will doubtless be additional ell
tries made, and the tournament Will be
the most notable and successful ever
conducted in the West.
The first prize will be an elegant gold
and silver challenge tankard. 1t will
stand twenty-five inches high, and will
be an exquisite piece of art. 1t is being
made by the leading manufacturing
house i'll Massachusetts, and bowlerS
who desire may inspect similar cup
which is now on exhibition at Foley's.
Then there will be other prizes donated
by the merchants OF ST. Paul. until
every club is pretty certain to carry
off something.
The famous Nusha club, winners Of
last winters tournament, will not play
this time. At a meeting Of the club the
other day the subject was canVasSed,
and after a careful consideration ma
jOrity of the members voted in favor of
devoting themselves to curling. 1t is
the ambition of the NushkaS to excel in
curling this winter as they eXcelled in
bowling last winter.
The entries, as mentioned above. will
close tomorrow night. they may be
sent to the sporting editor of the GLOBE,
or they may be left with Thomas Foley,
who is authorized by this paper to re-
ceive them.
q. 0. Nettleton. Of the NushkaS. has
joined the Press club. and has been
chosen captain. The newspaper boys
scarcely expect to vanquiSh the valiant
bOwlers CT the stronger clubs, but they
will play for the pure enjoyment they
will be able to get out Of the series.
