A bowling contest which will extend
over a period of about two months
will be instituted on the local alleys
next Monday, November 10. The pro-
motors believe that it will form a
pleasant diversion and at the same
time be conducive to good fellow
ship and socibility among the men
who take delight in rolling the
spheres, while at the same time pop
ularize bowling as a winter sport.
What promises to be a pleasing fea-
ture of the tourney is a banquet to
be given either at the close or some
time during it's progress. To this
each participant in the tournament
will be privileged to invite one guest.
This is especially intended for the
benefit of the ladies as it is desired
that as many as possible shall at
tend the banquet.
Games will be played on every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday even
ing until each team, composed of two
men, shall have played with all the
others. In order that the contestants
shall as nearly as possible be on an
equal footing, there will be scratch"
men and all others will be given the
benefit of handicaps varying from
five to 40 pins for every game bowled.
