BOWLERS BEGIN
Big MATCH TODAY
ST. LOUIS so FAR HAS THE LARG-
EST DELEGATION AT LOUIS
VlLLE-FIGHT ALREADY ON FOR
NEXT TOURNAMENT.

Louisville, Ky, March 16-With an in
crease of nearly % per cent in the num-
Der of entries and larger amount of
prize money in bank for the winners than
has been the case at any previous tourna-
ment, the annual tournament and conven-
ton of the American Bowling congress
will open at the Jefferson county armory
tomorrow night. The first ball of the first
match on the first alley will be rolled by
the Vic Torch five-men team at 1880
o'clock in a magnificently decorated and
equipped arena. The tournament will last
ten days and every preliminary arrange
ment has been looked after in a style
which spells success, not only in the way
of sport, but in unusually elaborate social
entertainment for the visitors.
The managers of the tournament today
nipped in the bud a scheme on the part
of the spectators to corner the tickets
to the tournament which, had 1t sue
ceeded, would have brought dscredit on
the city The plan was thwarted in time
to assure that there would be no ad-
vance in prices.
Delegates to the congress and team
members have already begun to arrive,
the largest single party thus far being
that from st. Louis which reached the
city tonight ST. Paul, st. Louis and
Philadelphia have already started a warm
three-cornered fight for the congress, al
though Philadelphia's chances have been
unfavorably affected by the fact that the
east is sending a smaller number of
bowlers than was expected. Al Baltz of
Philadelphia, Charles j. Kaufman of
Cincinnati and Charles H. Ebbitts of
Brooklyn are candidates for president of
the congress. There are rumors that ST.
Louis bowlers will throw their strength
to Kaufman, receiving in return Gin
cinnats support for the next meeting
place.

Hiuh Record for Tournament.

Chicago, March 16.-H. A. Wright of San
rest of Chicago. made a high record for
the tournament by making a run of 1917
and tied the individual average of 16 1915
made yesterday by Poggenberg. The final
score was 300 to 265 1t took Wright eigh-
teen innings to run the game out and
80 out of the 800 points We're made in the
last two trials. For the first sixteen in
nings his strike was bad, and Judgment
on cushion shots was poor. Demarest also
left the balls in difficult positions. Dem

took place and Birmingham was forced to
accept a hollow victory.
For Birmingham every man on the
team played a good game, and the for
wards especially surprised everybody by
playing very fine games, in spite of the
fact that this is their first season at
championship basketball. Captain Berry
at center and Eugene Jones and Joe Bid
die at guards played like the veterans
that they are.
Ware, Woodruff and Jones, three Biz
mlngham boys who are on the Auburn
team, played star games and would have
accomplished much more had the Biz
mingham players not been so familiar
with their style of play, thereby block
ing the effective passing and good throw
ing for which Ware and Woodruff are
famous. Frank Jones played good,
game, but, like most big men, he was
unavoidably rough and committed nu-
merous fouls.

by the dining room paper which he HIM

BANK ON WHEELS.

New York has bank on wheels which, as the
Brooklyn Eagle truthully remarks, is the latest
development OF the competition for deposits 1t
is development of the idea of the all-night bank
at New York, and the wheels are on an automobile,
the centre of which is big safe
This automobile bank it is explained starts
out just before o'clock and makes the rounds of
its customers among retail stores and day restau-
rants. Then about it makes the rounds of the
theatres, picking up the receipts for the night that
the manager does not wish to leave in his own safe
The last trip is about I o'clock to the a-night res
taurants, to gather in the receipts from the after
theatre supper crowd.
The first impression would be that such a
scheme would be an Indictment to robbery; but un-
usual precautions against theft taken. The
obvious ones have of course relation to the clerk
on the automobile and the depostors in his per-
ambulating bank
Each depositor encloses his deposit in locked
box with deposit slip inside. The depositor has
one key to the box and the receiving teller at the
bank the only other one. Protection from possible
attacks of highwaymen is particularly ingenious,
The automobile bank does not start with the
ordinary controller a chauffeur must learn the
combination, trusted clerk knows the combina-
tion of his firms safe, before he make the thing
go at all.
There is, therefore, only one chance left for
either robbery romance in this very practical
banking enterprise That chance might come if a
chauffeur should drop dead while the machine was
in motion. No outsider could possibly stop the
automobile until it brought up against building
or plunged into the river
No doubt such possibility has been realized
and guarded against. The fact seems to be that
the bank on wheels has come to stay because it
meets a need of the people of the largest city in
America.

SAN FRANCISCO'S SHAME.

The indictments returned at San Francisco
Yesterday show the city to be in most unenvable
plight The charges of grating that have for
long time been before the public in all indefinite
wav have now been made definite and specific.
At the outset the suppositon was that cor
rupt political ring had used its powers in system
OF spoliation, had exacted tribute, sold appoint
ments bartered franchises and made an alliance
with the criminal element.
Facts as they have developed show the San
Francisco gang has gone to the limit of political
criminality II was not even nice in its manipua
tions.
One of the charges now directly made is that
the mayor forced saloons to sell a certain brand
OF whiskey under the penalty of the revocation
stuff he and those closet him accepted commits
sons.
Ruef, the legal adviser OF the mayor, is ac-
cused OF receiving large legal fees" for the grant
ing of privileges OF great value from which the
city of San Francisco received nothing. There is
generally credited report that part OF the Garth
quake relief fund was stolen outright.
These are only few OF the counts in the in
dictment against the San Francisco rincsters
There are many more and worse

much loss in this city especially to lumber dealers,
should stimulate police and private detectives to
more determined efforts 10 catch the pyromaniac.
ne TACT that property worth hundreds OF
thousands has been destroyed was due primarily,
OF course, to the insane desire Of the pyromaniac
to gloat over his work, but the failure of many
lumber dealers to have private watchmcn to pro-
teet their property from thieves and hrebugs was
contributing cause.
Lumber yards so protected have been remark
ably free from fires and likely to remain safe in

Not to properly protect property SO greatly
