& s-s Star Teams. ..

A match game between the bowling
team which will represent Dubuque at the
national tournament at Indianapolis in
February. ard a picked team OF MINNIE
apOlis experts, will be arranged to take
place in this city before the local: aggre-
cation leaves for the Hoosier city. The

a Insight hitch: has arisen in the ar
rangements for a match ;between the St.
Paul and Minneapolis teams which will
bowl at the national tournament. The
plan was to- play a series Of games in each
city, charging admission and using the
proceeds for the expenses of the "trip. St.
Paul, however insists SON an equal div
1sion Of the receipts in: each city and to
this the Minneapolis men are not likely to
agree: The local men point Out that the
Co-operative alleys will seat a. much
larger audience than can be. crowded into
any alley in St. Paul; !, Under these cir
cumstances they feel that the only fair
division Of the money will sbe: for each
team to take the receipts in its own city.
The local men have been rolling a much
stronger game recently than the St. Paul
experts, and it is@thought that the fear
Of defeat may have something to do with
the reluctance of the Sanity City bowlers
to: agree upon the terms of the, contest.
