Karpf has arranged To havS new pins
for each days games. Although the
programme Of events and list Of prizes

the most attention will be the n for
the team championship OF the world:
The lucky winner of this contest will
carry home the championship emblem.
valued at $500, as well as regular prize,
valued at several hundred dollars.
There will be at least 100 other prizes
in this contest. as no less than 500
teams from all parts of the country
are expected to compete. The Amer
lean game of ten pins will be the style
of play, and in order that each team
can play and get through before the
competition closes, eight alleys will be
used. Two of the alleys have been set
aside for contests. which it is hoped
to produce the individual champion of
lie OAllcu ocdtCS at LAC AuiCiiSdA
game of ten pins. Five hundred dol
lars will be set aside for the winners.
In addition to this, four of the alleys
will be used for the head-pin ten-pin
game, open to all regularly organized
teams. One thousand dollars in prizes
will be awarded. There will also be an
individual ten-pin head-pin tourney, in
which any player can enter az often
as he may choose. In the ten-pin head
Pin game the pins are spotted on the
alleys in the same manner as the
American game, but only n ball is
permitted to each frame. and twelve
frames are played instead Of ten, as in
the national game. In order to make
a count the player must hit the head
or front pin. Should he do this twelve
consecutive times. and get ten down
every time, his total will be 120, which
is equivalent to 800, the limit score
in the American game. Up to the pres
ent time 119 pins, made by D. D..
Frercks, of New York; is the record at
this game.
If enough entries can be secured,
team and individual, candle and duck
pin contests, a game which is played
quite extensively in New England and
a few cities in the west. will be de-
cided on the remaining two regulation
alleys. About S400 will be set aside
for the lovers of candles" and
ducks" besides the championship
trophies.
there will be contests for teams of two
and teams of three players, at both the
American game and ten-pin head-pins.
In addition to the regulation Amer
lean alleys there will be two German
alleys, which are but eighteen inches
in width where the ball travels thirty
inches wide and triangular il shape
where the pins are spotted and ninety
feet long. Teams from Holland, Nor
way and Germany have been invited
to come and compete on them. The
Gesang Verein. of Galveston, Texas,
and other leading German clubs of this
country are also expected to enter and
show how the sport is played in the
Fatherland.
The sons of sunny Italy will also be
given an opportunity to display their
skill in their own peculiar way. AL
leys will be provided, so that they can
show the bowlers of the present day
what Bocee bowling, an Italian alley
game, is.
There will also be lawns laid out
and set aside for those who still ad-
here to bowling on the green" which
is the first style of bowling introduced
in this country.
An event that is expected to attract
as much attention as any is the two
day competition, open only to teams
who have won or will win champion
ships in their respective tournaments
this season. regardless of what city
they are located in. The winner of
this competition will receive a hand
some challenge trophy, and in the city
where it goes to, or the winning team
halls from. it must be competed for
