Northwestern Curling Association Will Begin Twelfth
Annual Bonspel Tomorfow Morning on Nushka
Rink-Ice Is i'm Good Condition and Fast
Play Is Expected by Curriers'

The twelfth annual bonspiel of the
Northwestern Curling association will
open in full form with representation Of
fully thirty-f rinks tomorrow morning.
Edward w. Nettleton will make the first
draw at 9 o'clock at the Nushka rinks,
and the bonspiel will go on in full swing
until Saturday night.
An entry of fifteen more rinks had been
expected. but owing to business engage
ments and Illness the Duluth representa-
ton will be lighter than usual, while the
Chicago and Milwaukee contingentS are
likely to be absent at the opening draws
by reason of local bonspiels falling upon
the same dates. 1t is confidently expected,
however, that at least one rink from each
of these cities will arrive In time to enter
the three great open events.
The first draws in the first two open
events will likely be completed on Mon
day, or so nearly so as to allow of the
commencement of the j. q. Meyers
trophy competition on Tuesday.
Formerly it has been the custom to
hold the interna tional competition until
the closing days of the bonspiel; but upon
this occasion, it has been decided to make
a depression from the usual practice, and
to play off one or more draw in this event
every day, beginning Tuesday In this

BOWLING DELEGATES
REPAIR LEAGUE RULES
Commercial Members VIII Hold Their An
nual Banquet May 13

At a meeting of the representatives of
the bowling teams of the Commercial
Bowling league held in the probate court
room of the court house last night it was
decided to hold the annual banquet of the
league on May 13. A committee consist
ing Of Fred Gosewiseh, e. Klostermann
and p w Kampman was appointed to
select the place where the banquet VIII
be held and arrange further details.
During the season several games have
been played in which one of the teams,
being unable to secure a full quota Of
players, used only four men, the oppos-
ing club agreeing to let one of the four
do the bowling for two men, Many pro-
tests have resulted from this practice, and
at the meeting last night it was decided
that any team rolling with four men here
after should forfeit the game to their op-
ponents. Another rule which was adopted
provided that In case of the postpone
ment Of any game the owner of the alley
where the game was to be played must
be notified twenty -four hours in advance.
Otherwise each of the CLUBS concerned
Is to be assessed ene-haH Of the cost of
renting the alley for the game. This ac-
ton. was taken to protect alley owners
from loss in case they reserve their al
leys for the use of the clubs and the lat
ter fail to put in an appearance accord
