TWICE-ACROSS THE TABLE SHOT
Strike the cue ball little below
the center and to the right, the red
ball one quarter, and the shot will be
made by two or three cushions. The
shot should be played rather hard.
1t is the intention Of the Milwaukee
hosts and the officers of the American
Bowling congress to make good the
boast that the coming tournam
will be the biggest and best in the
history of the congress. The prize
list has been completed and will
amount to at least $4,000, or $4,000
more than was given at Cleveland
last year.
For the individual event $1,000 has
been set apart. to be divided into 80
amounts, ranging from 5000 down to
SIS. For the two men event $4,000
will be given, beginning with $3.50 for
the first pair and running to $40 for
the seventy-fifth pair. Forty-five
prizes will be given in the five men
event, the list being headed with
$3.50 for the team winning the cham
pionship.
Should the entries warrant 1t, these
sums will be increased. Medals will
also be given to the winners ON each
of the three championships. A man.
moth ball and a smoker will be
among the entertainment features.
Present calculations lead to the be-
lief that there will be between $50
and IT'S teams present. Chicago will
send so teams, and Milwaukee and
Wisconsin combined ought to send an
equal number. Other cities and their
probable representation are:
Minneapolis and st. Paul, six each
Duluth, one; st. Louis, four; New
York, four; Philadelphia, four; Cleve-
land, six; Louisville, four: Columbus,
two; Cleveland, two; Indianapolis,
four; Denver, four; and at least one
team from Omaha. Kansas City. Du-
buque, Davenport, Detroit, Erie,
Butte, Seattle, San Francisco. Los An
geles, Spokane and numerous others,
New York promoters seem to favor
the holding of the 1906 tournament
in that city, and If c. H. Ebbets can
give the necessary guarantee 1t seems
probable the next championship will
be held there.

Medical Lake Salt Mfg. Co.,
Spokane, Wash:


Gentlemen--about year ago I
was troubled with infammatory
rheumatism in my feet and was com
PEELED to go about with a cane, and
suffered a great deal during that time.
A gentleman told me of Medical Lake
Salts, which he said were good for
that disease. tried the Salts for
six days and found II to be success
full. bathed my feet once every night
in not water IN which the salts had
been dissolved and then wrapped my
feet In wooden cloths. I did this for
six days and on the sixth day was
able to walk without a cane. l can
recommend 1t to anyone for that pur-
pose and appreciate the fact that 1t
helped me. Yours truly,
