| While Baltimore will send good entry
list, it is very doubtful if any of ouI
local bowlers will have the time to go
either to attend the convention or to take
part in the series of contests.
| The games will be played upon new
alleys constructed expressly for the tour
ney, and contestants will not be allowed
| to practice upon them prior to playing
| their regular scheduled games.
The games will be played in strict COM
pliance with the rules governing the
American game of tenpins. In the five
| men team contest, the clubs will be al
lowed to enter the names of their qualified
members from which the team Of five
men is to be chosen. The team which
actually bowls must be made up from the
names so entered No other substitution
will be permitted. All teams of five men
must be composed of bowlers who are
qualified members of the same bowling
club The club which violates this rule
fcrfeits all prizes which its team may
win In the two-men team contest the
sfy1D ta ton
necessarily be members Of the same bowl
ing club.
The bowlers of Chicago and the West
generally are good hosts, and it is limited
that they are arranging programmes for
the entertainment of visitors which VIII
surpass all previous efforts in this direc-
tion.
