The bowling season may not be said TO
BE- well under way, since all the alleys
have been completed. including the new
alleys of the Washington street bowlers
The teams have taken charge OF their
new home during the past week and have
begun to make ready for the lne scores
that will be made from time TO time there
Despite the fact that there was one off
night last week. the schedules for this
week and for the remainder OF the seaLon
are but little out OF the regular and IL Is
thought that the most OF the teams VIII
have but little trouble In catching up. ON
most OF the alleys II Is planned 20 have
everything cleared so that there will be
no back games aside from those connect
ed with the Xmas season.
The players this season are intending 10
profit by the experiences of the past year
in the regulation OF the games during
the coming holidays, so that there VIII
be no general break I'm the schedule as
was the case last season. Just how TINS
will DC done has not been decided yet by
the various members OF the several
leagues will meet this week or early
noxt week and make the necessary ar
rangements.
one OF the changes last week and which
bids fair to enlarge the playing territory
OF the teams OF this vicinity was the
opening OF a new set OF alleys at Putnam
by one OF the former members Of tho
Railway tournament teams. Mr.. Tourtel-
otte In building the alleys there he has
had the most up-to-date conveniences in
stalled among them being the screening
off OF the pit at the end OF the alleys
so that those who wish may sit there
and watch the game I'm safety. 1t is said
that this is 10y far the most advantageous
position from which TO see the games. lie
also has an official behind the screen
10 see that the game is much fairer than
ever before.
IL is thought that a series OF games
with teams I'm this city will be arranged
and a regular schedule provided Tho
schedules of the teams I'm this city have
all been completed now and from this 10
-t.t,rrfttfg OF spring there will be nothing <
but 10 watch the play
During the coming week the final ar
rangements will be completed for the Sc.
Ties OF the Inter-Club Duck Pin league,
and tho annual meeting of the Inter-Club
ieagle is now about due to consider the
advisability OF the formation of series.
The Edgewood rollers seem to hold the
key 10 the situation.
The players IN the American league
have a few games 20 catch up which
will require some figuring TO avoid con-
hlcting dates.
A number OF tournament players have
secured good results In their events,
among them Rafferty, OF the Broad Street
Casino. who has also been very prominent
In league work.
