Western bowlers, particularly those
in Chicago, are planning to secede from
the American Bowling Congress so that
they a organize a governing body of
their own and a tournament to determ-
inc league championships, ive-men
team and individual championships.
cred by the Associated Bowling League
of Chicago, a meeting of which will be
held in about two weeks. Delegates
to this conference have been elected
from the South Side, Lake View, Chi
cago, Inter-Club and North Chicago
bowling leagues, all of which are
known to be favorable to the formation
of a Western Congress. The Inter-Club
League has already withdrawn from
| the American Congress. This scheme
originated shortly after the annual
meeting of the congress held in this
city, which took up the dispute between
the Plazas and Centrals of Chicago,
Willie 1t Is NOW Sdlu that Tic COuSI6SS
had no power over bowling leagues, and
that all it can do is to formulate rules
and ask leagues to live up to them. If
the Western Congress is formed it will
control bowling in Illinois and other
States that may wish to join. w. V.
Thompson believes that such a move
ment would kill bowling in Chicago
as in Cincinnati when the leagues
there broke away from the congress
and formed an organization of their
own. While the formation of a west
ern governing body will meet with OPP
position, the tournament project will
not. The affair will be held at Chi
cago in April and an entrance fee will
be charged, so that the tourney will not
be too unwieldy.
