league, has resulted in great deal OF
dissatisfaction among the members Oh
the various city teams. They were
ready and anxious to bowl and the
failure of the committees to agree
on schedules has made the members
sore.
The sentiment Is divided, of course,
and the partsans Of both the factions
to the fight have many reasons for
their expressions Oh animosity to the
opposition. The formation of alley
leagues seems to be the only solu-
ton to the difficulty.
This has been done In other cities.

ship yearly by this means, because The
size of the city and the number of
teams prevents any other method.
However that may be, Akron bowlers
are agreed that it is necessary for them
to get together on some plan AS soon
as possible, for the disagreement be-
tween alley owners as to the number
of games to be played on each, has
been severe blow to the sport In
Akron, and the longer the condition
continues the worse the situation will
be.
