New York Clubs to Be Brought Back to
American Congress.

The information was tipped off last night
that President Charles F. Mol of the
American Bowling Congress and w. H.
Terry, who We're in Washington Wednes-
day night, were another very important
mission in the east besides securing en-
tries in the national bowling tournament to
he held in Milwaukee.
One of the great objects of the trip east
it was intimated by President Moll, is to
affiliate the New York and Wisconsin bowl
ers. This will mean much in the way of
obtaining intelligent legislation in the flu
ture in the interest of the sport
New York has always stood for all that
was best in the sport, and on this account
practically withdrew from the American
Bowling Congress some years ago.
At Cleveland last year the New York
bowlers Were invited to come back, and
steps were taken to conciliate them by
promising certain alterations in the rules
that they advocated. This has served tic
set them back into the fold. and with the
assurance of additional changes at the COM
ing bowling congress they agreed to send
| number of teams to the cream city next
February.
President Moll and Mr.. Terry expect to
be able to further promote the utilization
of the two bodies when they reach New
York.
just now it is apparent that Wisconsin
is bound to be a power that can advance
or block legislation at the coming meeting
With 100 or more teams organized under
city associations, which gives every ten
teams delegate in the convention, it can
be readily seen that if the east and Wis
consin join hands they can do much toward
shaping legislation.
OF course, the main ambition of the Mil
waukee tournament managers now is to
get big entry list and everything is to be
subsidiary to this desire, so that if the
east wants the help of Wisconsin it must
be. well represented al the tournament
This fact will be made 'clear by Messrs
Terry and Mol, and that their trip will be
a successful one one doubts.
One of the conditions that the New York
boWlers may insist upon in going back into
the fold of the association is that the Wis
conSin bowlers will cast their influence
toward bringing the next national cham
pionship tournament to New York The
matter will be decided at the congress in
Milwaukee, and New York has already
made bid for the tournament in 1906
In New York the Eastern Alleys Owners
Association is in course of formation to
fight for the tournament. Philadelphia is
asked to second New York's efforts and in
return she will be given New York's sum-
port for the congress of 1907
In securing the turnament for New York
IT Will be necessary to offer for the use of
the bowlers suitable building and accom-
modat1ons. Milwaukee has given the use
OF its grand exposition building. the Iarg-
est In the state, and the local committee
mas raised $4,000 for prize money or So, 600

Western base ball critics do not relish the
peace and quiet that exist at present be-
tween the magnates of the American and
National leagues, and some of them are
prone to predict warlike outbreak in the
near future, says the New York Sun. The
national commission will meet in Cincin-
natl on January 8, and if there is any Bit
terness of feeling under the surface it will
break out there. The American League men
are not at all pleased with the National
Leagues action in recognizing the demands
of the minor leagues, which was taken af-
ter the American League had placed itself
on record as opposed to the measure john
son & Co. say that the National League
simply played smart game of politics by
which an attempt was made to place the
American League in a false light before the
base ball public The fact that John T.
Brush will receive testimonial from the
minor leagues for advocating their cause at
the recent National League meeting has
stirred up Johnson & Co. beyond measure,
with the result that one of the best-known
American LeaguerS has sent forth this
broadSde:
so the National League, with Brush as
leader, has decided to recognize the mi
nOrs? Let US see Wasn't it the National
League with Brush as ringleader that ar
bitrarily rescinded the national agreement
and threw down the minors after a memoir
able conference at Red Bank several years
ago? Didn't A. G. Spalding because of
this action, jump into the thick of the fight
and split the National League into two
factions? Hasn't the national agreement
always been the foundation of the minor
leagues success? Then why should Brush
receive a testimonial for the adoption of a
policy which is questionable to say the
least? Does anybody believe that if the
National League had the American League
under foot it would even consent to think
over the demands of the minor leagues,
which were always trimmed and skinned in
the days before the American League came
into existence? Doesn't it seem to be a
rather late hour for Brush Hart, Soden.
Ebbets, Dreyfus and other former oppres
sors of the minor leagues to come forward
with the olive branch? AS a matter of fact,
the National League would never have
taken this action if it had not known that
ii was absolute impossibility to carry it
through successfully. 1t was simply a good
con game. through which the minor leagues
will see after they have studied recent base
ball history bit"
There are also rumors of trouble in the
ranks of the minor leagues themselves. 1t
is asserted that the three big minors the
Eastern, American Association and Pacific
coast, are anxious to take a firm grip on
the other minor leagues, SO that they can
draft players from them on their own &C
count.

The best game of the day was at the first
table, where Johnston of Pennsylvania,
pitted against Burton of Brown, won in
thirty-nine moves. Johnston had the white
pieces in a queens gambit declined, and
castled on the queens side-a somewhat
unusual proceeding in this opening. Never
theless, he soon had a pawn to the good

king with so much vigor that Burton's king
was forced to seek safety in fight. An
other pawn fell soon afterward, and when
queens were exchanged, leaving easy
victory on the board, Burton resigned.

Tammany! "Blue-Eyed Billy Sheehan"
is Judge Parker's friend and neighbor
at Rosemount. To him Parker addressed
his famous telegram at the st. Louis
convention. Daily Judge Parker is sur
rounded by the SheehaEs, O'Briens and
the McDonalds of Tammany. There is
no hiding from an argus-eyed people, and
the best proof Of Judge Parker's lack
of knowledge of the American people is
that he does not know that his associa-
ton with Tammany will not be excused
or condoned by them. In New York,
he possibly argues, Tammany is endur-
ed, with restiveness, it is true, but still
endured. Outside of New York this is
not true, but Judge Parker does not
k@ow the true temper of the American
people outside of New York. How
should be!
The Enigma Of Esopus" is no longer
an enigma. Put forth by the cunning
i nd of David B. Hill, supported by
the restrained savagery of Tammany, the
astute politician and campaign manager
OF Ulster County, posed, for a few days,
wrapped about in his. judicial robes as
in a garment Of veneration and mystery.
A look at his record, a glance at his
political associates and friends, and the
tableau dissolves amidst the choking
smoke of the fash-light.

LOT OF FOOLISH QUESTIONS"
This was the same public be do
attitude that arrogant corporations used
to take in refusing to answer questions
of pertinent interest to their stockhold-
ers or to the general public, until the
Republican party remedied matters by
passing law compelling publicity, and
especially established the Bureau OF
Commerce and Labor to secure it.
Mr. Bryan, all the Democrats in the
convention at st. Louis and in fact all
American voters of whatever political
belief, had a perfect right to expect de-
tailed and explicit publicity from Candi-
date Parker of his views on government
al financial policies SO that they could
know whether or not, or to what extent
his views were their views. But this
publicity was denied them, because the
managers Of the convention deemed it Of
more Importance to protect their candi-
date from questions which he would not
want to answer for fear of making a
break" than to protect the voters of the
country from possible misunderstanding
as to financial views which might not
bear the limelight of public discussion.

consider as foolish" questions, which,
if answered, might result in an expose.
And it is the same way with the Demo

safe policy on the currency question is
to refuse to give information as to what
their policy really is.

President Roosevelt appeals favor

has received the valuable privileges re-
