TENPIN KNIGHTS LOOK
TOWARD INDIANAPOLIS
Bowling Congress Meets February %.

Although it is more than a month to
the date OF the American bowling con
gress at IndianapoTs-the date is Feb
ruary 23-tenpin knights throughout the
country are looking forward with en-
thusfasm to the event
The members Of the Indianapolis as
sociation who have charge of the big
fixture are getting ready for the final
EFFORT TO make IL from the opening day
the greatest gathering of bowlers ever
held
BY the end OF the week the various
committees which will be in charge OF
the different branches of the arrange
ments for the tourney will be appointed
and then it is expected that a week or
many days before the opening day OF the
fixture everything viii be in readiness
for the Inauguration Of the event.
So FAR as can be determined from the
progress of the arrangements effected
the congress will convene at the Sher-
man House az Q o'clock in the forenoon
of Monday, February %. The executive
committee Will hold a meeting at the
Denison House the day before 10 outline
q plan Of action and to arrange the or
der in which the various questions to
be decided shall be taken up. The bowl
ing will not begin until Monday night.
The election OF a new president OF the
American Bowling Congress will be the
most important problem before the many
delegates who will attend the congress
The East already has announced as its
candidate for the office none other than

gress VIII cast their ballots for him
Price was one of the moving spirits in
the Buffalo tournaments, and he has
taken more than a passing interest in
the game for years.

two candidates from the West already
Rave caused dissatisfaction among West
ern bowIers. who believe that with two
in the field their chances of eIecting
a Western man for the head of the as
sociation are slim. They say the vote
will be divided, and that with the East
in body for their candidate, it viii
be little trouble for the West to be d.
feated.
Another problem that will confront
the delegates at the indianapolis session
VIII be the agitation for rule to bar
the loaded ball. The movement to pro
hibit it has gained some favor since it
was first suggested, and it is probable,
the indianapolis men say, that a pro-
vision viii be adopted to keep out all
balls Of more than sixteen or sixteen
and one-haIf pounds.
II the rule IS adopted there is sure to
be a howl, as many of the top notchers
Of the country use loaded balls.

An ANALYSIS Of the best athletic rec
ords to date discIoses the rather remark
able fact that in a majority Of the recog-
nizcd athletic events the amateurs have
surpassed tile professionals. In the fol-
lowing table the records Of the amateurs
are given first:

1t viii be observed that the amateurs
have the best records IN ten out OF the
sixteen events. and were il not for the
professional superiority in the lorg-dis-
lance runs they would have practically
swept the board, since the throwing OF
the discus and the standing broad jump
are not held highly as athletic per
loruazces.
The surprise in the above table is
that the amateurs should be so far
ahead of the professionals in the weight
throwing and putting events. The diff
ference in the high jumps is capable OF
explanation on the ground that the
heights attained by the amateurs art
only possible through the modern tricE
of throwing the body over the bar by q
quick horizontal twist, which the boys
pick up at school or college and the
professionals have been slow to learn.
The difference Of almost a foot in the
standing broad jump is accounted for
by the fact that this event IS a favorite
with the professionals. while the anna
tours have developed lead of almost
two feet in the running broad jump
which they practice more assiduously.

Cattle Low, Hay High.

The people of the United States have
fact in nearly every section from the
head of the river to the valleys below.
are holding onto their hay this fall
with a vengeance. Up Carson Valley
there is little hay to sell, as the buy
ers and stockmen have secured most
of it for feeding this winter Some
stock has already been driven in to
take up the winter feed Pasturage is
still good but some hay is being fel.
Along with the high rate of hay the
cattle prices are extremely low.
Last week band of $50 head OF
steers, were sold at the rate of $15
per head and number of calves went
with the bunch. Another lot sold for
SIS and they were in first class Or
der The reason of the low price Ct
cattle is the shortage of the hay crop
in other sections. In a number of
places in California the hay crop is
a failure, and in fact, in sections OF
Nevada, short crop has been cur,
which leaves the stock man with more
cattle than hay and general unload.
ing is taking place. Cattle are lower at
this time than for the past three years
and it is believed that the prices will
be down for the entire season.
