AS whole the records made in this
tournament fairly good. The last half
OF the season showed marked improve
uent in every respect over the work Of the
first half
AS for the future Of this league, it is
necessary to say only that great improve
ment should take place in the quality and
condition of the alleys The point of ex-
perience has been reached where no alleys
in the league should be Objectionable Oh
account Of solidity, smoothness and true
ness of surface and we'll lighted. With al
leys up to such a standard there would be
no good reason why bowler should not
do himself justice away from home and al
home for that matter. This being the
finest Of indoor athletic sports, it should
be placed upon high rank, and the way
to make it so is to have all the appoint
ments -first-claSS.
There will be meeting of the league to-
morrow night at the Washington Athletic
Club.
