THE COMING BIG TOURNEY.
For the Bowling Fraternity to Take
Place at Mozart Park.

Place at Mozart Park.
The gavel has fallen, and all of the
entries to the summer bowling tour
nament are registered. At no time
since the sport of bowling has been Or
ganized on the present substantial ba-
sis has there been so much interest
displayed as in the forthcoming tour
nament. 1t shows that bowling is just
as popular as ever and has come to
stay The way bowlers from all over
the city and vicinity have responded
to the call for entries has made the
success of the tournament a positive
fact, and all indications point to the
season of 1901 being red letter one
in the annals of the Mozart Park al
leys.
The entries are the pick of Wheeling
and include such well-knOwn clubs
as the Carroll Club Cyclers. Korn Kob
Klub. Rough Riders, Benwood, Column
bia, Blue Ribbon, Olympia and Or
phans. Members of the foregoing
clubs need no introduction, as they are
all well known to the fraternity, and
have been identified with the game for
some time past. Champions and COM
ing champions are represented in the
above mentioned clubs, in fact all the
cracks of the bowling fraternity are
entered 1t is easier TO mention the
crack bowlers who have failed to enter
than to specify the list.
The prize money which has been
presented for competition in the COM
ing tournament by the Mozart Park
association, is without question the
finest which has ever been offered the
bowlers, both in value and disposition
of the same. They go On the theory
that nothing is too good for the bow
lers, and have overshadowed all its
former offers in the magnificence of
the amount
The 9th of May is the date set for
the opening, and will be under the man
agement OF f. J. Edele, who will look
after the welfare of the bowlers, and is
alone resonsible for the success of the
tournament.
Neither pains nor expense will be
spared to get the eight splendid alleys
in the best possible condition. They
will be completely overhauled and
thoroughly equipped with the newest
and best balls and pins obtainable. An
improvements will be under the direct
supervision of the manager, and every
effort will be strained to maintain in
terest throughout the entire season.
New features will be added as the seas
on advances, which will be taken I'D
and discussed later on.
A Kentucky colonel is responsible for
the saying that all whiskey is good, but
that some is better than others Same
way with bowling alleys-all of them
are good, but there are some that
are better than others.
