At meeting of the United Bowling
clubs of New York yesterday Charles
Johnson, who represented the United
Bowling clubs at the American Bowling
congress, talked for over an hour, sex-
planning how the convention was CON
Quoted and scoring severely the methods OF
the Chicago bowlers. ~-.- - -"
1.-The east was not recognized when it
came to the loaded ball. said Johnson.
"The Chicago bowlers were for themselves
and the manufacturers. They had an idea
before they went to Indianapolis that they
would control the congress and they were
not mistaken, Only Chicago wanted the
loaded ball, but they would not allow a
roll call and when it came to a vote a
gang from Chicago who were not even
delegates yelled AYE" and that settled it.
The convention was a disgrace to the
American Bowling congress, the way it
was conducted. The congress is a sec
ond consideration to the national tourna-
ment, as the rules which are adopted are
not for the masses, but for this annual
event." -s~ ~. ,:-.:- .-@f
- Johnson said that the winners of the
first and second f1ve-men team prizes were
fake teams from Chicago; that they did
not represent any bowling club, but were
sent to Indianapolis for advertising pur-
poses.
Although two Of the United Bowling
club delegates did not favor resigning
from the American Bowling congress un-
til the next meeting the other delegates
refused to wait and it was voted to with
draw from the congress.

PEELED athletes to keep their scholarship stand
ings twenty points higher than ordinary stu
dents. The latter were obliged to have mark
of only 200 on basis Of 400, while the mark
has been kept at 225 for the athletes. The fac

years and it knocked out more than half of the
athletic stars, who were forced to quit the teams

to trust the captains of the athletic teams to
keep up the scholarship marks of the athletes.

ident Monroe was as "much a fail
