Professional BOWLERS Will
 Compete for S1,o Prize

>HE biggest thing in bowling in
 N this country this year is the
 iHter-city match for S1 ,OOO, be- tween rollers of New York and Chicago. This great game is sched- alleys in Toledo, o. There will be seating. accommodations. for 900 bowling fans at the Telodo alleys. But t}f6usands of followers of the gang of strikes, spares and breaks will eRfy that. comparatively small num- Der sof spectators.
 No match of such importance as this one has ever been arranged for this country and it is doubtful whether any match ever rolled in the old world ever approached it in importance. There will be seven games played, three in the afternoon and the remain der in the evening, and total pins will decide the contest.
 The men who will wear the respec- tive colors of the eastern and the west ern metropolis will be the pick of the land. Champions, every one of them, either in national or state and munich pal tournaments, they will 'sblow'' so
 
 the smallest number of breaks that the Toledo natives ever counted in match game.
 Secretary Sam Karpf, of the Ameri- gan bowling congress, known as the greatest bowling fan in the country, has been booming the coming match on his many trips through Ohio, andlit would not surprise the promoters of the inter-city contest if excursions were to be run to Toledo the day of the match That there will be bowling for more than one day seems certain despite the fact that the customers who represent New York city in the new York interstate championship tourney have other dates to fill imme- diately after the big contest. Toledo has hve-man team that will challenge the winner and money will be put up for decisive series.
 Chicago will have the services of the best bowler in America, National Champion Frank Brill, captain and manager. Mr. Brill until recently was one of the stars in the east and some of the men who will represent New York and himself have participated in some memorable contests in Gotham Other Chicago rollers on the team will be Gus Steele, sSBilly" Lee, Fred Worden and George Bangart. Capt. Brill will carry as extra men, Fred Strong and ". J. Kenna.
 Charles Starr, of New York, who with John Vorheis won the two-man team national championship at the A. E. c. tournament-theirv victory was protested, it is true, but the tourna- Rent committee refused to notice the 8otest-wilI captain the Greater New York team, and if his ''rootin" will not lead his men to victory, perhaps that of Billy" Cordes, the veteran money and match roller of New York, will do the business. Toledo fans will see such rooting-to be correct should say hear-as they never dreamed possible on a bowling alley Pins that wiggle will be fairly screamed over." John vorheis is the best individual roller in New York. His average in his last na- fional tournament was 1931s, but he tells Capt. Starr that he will do better than this against Chicago.
 Freddie Clinch, who made a high average record at tourney of 1e6 Is; William A. Gerdes, the winner of the Carruthers tourney three times in succession, and Dave Shiman, who made an average of 199 in the Metro uolifau reDresentatiVe championshiD
