Westerners Predominant.
Many crack bowIers cannot afford
the heavy expenses entailed by a trip
West, and the West shows no inclina-
ton to come East. IL II did, there
would be many bowlers from the West
who could not see their way TO give
up the price of a long Journey The
consequence is that the Nesterners pre-
dominate at all the congresses and out
number the Eastern contingent in every
way This is manifestfy unfair to the
army of men from this section. who
would like to have a crack at cham
pionship. and it is for that reason we
are constantly forcing the question OF
a separate congress.

the miner showed that he could slug

the punch if there was chance of him
getting back. but last night he was up
against different sort of a fighter.
sharkey is a slow, numbering fellow, as
compared with johnson, and the miner
had no chance at all in fighting long
range or rushing. With Sharkey.. the
miner knew that when he rushed he
would find his mark, but with Johnson
he was never quite sure of anything

Plans are quietly being laid for the
formation of an Eastern Bowling Con-

For several years there has been
much dissatisfaction, and at times open
kicking, at the manner in which the

spring.
Willing Listeners.
The agitation has been carried cn
quietly, but wherever the organizers
have gone they have met with los
pitable reception and willing listeners.
One of those who is taking an active
part in the work of bringing the East
erners together is Harry Davis, the
first baseman OF the Philadelphia
American League baseball team, which
is playing in Washington today. He
has taken advantage of the visits of
the team. to Washington, New York
and Philadelphia, to talk to all the
