boWlerS was to arrange tournament
open to all bowlers in5athe city. Each
man was to pay an entry fee and the
six men leading when the tournament
closed We're to be awarded places on
the team. The entrance money was to
be used-1n caring. for the team.
The promoters estimated that sew
eral hundred .bowlers would, enter the
race for place on the team. Twenty
five have paid for the chance to COM
pete. The promoters are now out at
tempting to drum up interest, but the
boWlers are no. longer enthusiastic.
The list for the tournament will not
grow. because the .bowlers of st. Paul,
the main body, are not real sportsmen.
They are not real SportSmen, for they
allow the desire to win to come ahead
of the desire to improve the game.
Many are holding off from the tourna-
me11t for they believe that men who
are faster bowlers will enter and will
win the places. If any team is sent
from st. Paul to Indianapolis they
want to be on the team and if they
are not on the team they do not pro-
pose to. contribute money toward send
ing other men away.
That's why bowling now looks slated
for dismal failure IN ST. Paul.
President Hickey has been heard
from again and the leader Of the Amer
lean association repeats his threat to
take the st. Paul baseball team to
Chicago. Hickey has notified Presi-s
dent Lennon that he is wanted in the
Windy city and hints that somebody
is waiting there to take the ST. Paul
franchise off the local magnate's
hands.
The quiet following. the excitement
created by the attempt to secure the
downtown ball park convinced a NUM-
Der of the fanatics that the annual
winter scare had blown over and that
the team was safe.
Now Hickey breaks in again with
the demand that the team be
either, transferred by Lennon or sold
by him to Chicago parties ready to buy.
President Hickey appears in deadly
earnest, and this latest outbreak may
mean the end of St. Paul in the base
bali world. Billy Mac.

GOSSIP OF SPORTING WORLD

B. Bancroft Johnson, president of the
American league, has yanked away
the perch placed out for the dove of
peace assigned to the task of ending
the war of the big baseball leagues
and the end is apparently as far away
as ever before.
This postponement of the peace con-
ference coming at the last moment
props up the belief that the American
league is not hankering after peace
with a mad, burning banker. Johnson
& Co. may really desire to have it all
ended, bute up to date the American
firm has not strained itself in an eff
fort to clear the way for a meeting of
the warning factions.
Johnson and his followers accepted
the Nationals invitation to attempt an
arrangement of the differences but
this is about as far as the American
went Even before the Johnson league
met to postpone its annual meeting
the American club owners began tell
ing what would have to be before any
peace pact could be signed.
And now Johnson winds it up with
demand that promises to put an end
to all attempts to bring about a peace
full settlement. The demand has al
ready compelled the postponement of
the peace conference.
Johnson has refused to allow his
committee to meet with the National
league committee until the National
committee is given full power to dis
pose of all questions that might arise
at the peace meeting.
The National league committee was
sent forth without any such power.
Chairman Hermann and his followers
planned to go to the peace conference,
secure the best terms possible and
then report the result back to the
league
Notified in time the National league
might have invested it's committee
with the power vested in the American
committee by Johnson & Co., but not
one word was said until this eleventh
hour notice of JohnSon's was served on
Chairman Hermann. Hermann has
tried in the short time allowed him
to secure the consent of the National
members to a committee with full
power, but he has been unable to OBJ
tain this consent.
Johnson would appear more sincere
In this attempt to arbitrate if he had
either served notice of what was to
be required of the committees in good
time, or had allowed committees to
meet without any eleventh hour stip-
ulations.
Bowling Going Back.
Having pushed bowling up into the
front rank of winter sports the local
enthusiasts have apparently tired of
the. excitement, and through sheer
neglect are allowing the sport to drop
back into the ruck
Bowling, unless conditions are
changed in hurry, is going back into
the has-been list, and going there be-
cause the bowlers of St. Paul. with a
feW-a very feW-exceptions, are not
real sportsmen.,
It is hard, but it is the truth. Teams
and individual. players have demon
strated it time and time again since
the opening of the winter season. The
major-portion of the bowling fraternity
is doing this thing at the present mo-
ment.
A movement to send bowling team
to represent st. Paul at the bowling
congress to be held in INDIANAPOLIS
was started several weeks ago with a
loud hurrah, and when the hurrah died
out there was nothing doing.
The plan adopted by the enthusiastic

PICHA ROLLS A
PERFECT SCORE
ST. Paul Man Places Bowling Record on
Top Notch.

For the first time in the history of the
Northwestern bowling game, the perfect
score of 300 has been rolled C. w. Picha,
OF 1888 Michigan street, st. Paul, is the
man Whe carries off the honor for placing
the record on the top notch
The game in which Picha passed all
former records was rolled at Piringer's
alleys, Third and Wabasha streets; yester-
day afternoon. Three men played. and
the scores were all high In one Of the
games Picha rolled 243
When he started his perfect game, the
crowd of spectators did not realize the
game he was bowling, and the first six
frames were finished before the contest
attracted attention.
Strike followed strike, and when the
eighth frame was reached the crowd was
Wild with excitement. Every ball was
placed squarely between the first and
third pins, and the strikes were all clean
and square. The enthusiasm of the crowd
did not seem to rattle Picha. and he fin
