has to say:
To All Bowlers.
To All Bowlers: The first annual tour
nament of the Western Bowling congress
will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah,

The indications are now that this big
event will far surpass the most sanguine
expectations of those who have been en-
gagged in directing the affairs of the
in from every section of the country IN
der the supervision of the congress.
The enthusiasm is becoming intense
ana many assurances of representation
are being received daily. The enthusi-
asm is not confined to the gentlemen
boWlers alone, but the ladies in a num-
Der OF cities are taking an active inter
est and promise to be in attendance if
special prize is created for them to con-
test for This question will be taken
UP at once with the executive commit
tee, and some provision made to offer
Inducements for the lady bowlers who
desire to attend the meeting.

tournaments Of the American Bowling
congress.
All bowlers should make themselves
familiar with article Z, section l. cOnsti-
tuition Of the Western Bowling congress,

1t is very important that city associa-
tons holding or. desiring to hold mem
Dership in the congress should at once
comply with the requirements of article
8, section 2. and article f. section 4, or
constitution. 1t must be remembered,
however, that clubs or individuals who
are not already members of the con-
gress may make application to the sec
rotary on arrival at Salt Lake City and
obtain membership cards qualifying
them to enter and compete in the tour
nament, but on account Of the great
volume of work that will engross the
secretary at this meeting, it is urged
that all bOwlers who can do so will OBJ
tain membership cards in advance.
1t is important that entries for all
the events should be in on or before
March l, 1906, but should there be later
applications the committee will no doubt
make provision for them,

has charge Of arranging for the tourney
at Salt Lake, states that the alleys to
be resurfaced, putting them in practical
ly new condition to be opened by the
bowlers at this tournament. Mr.. Zehring
also states that no expense will attach
to the arrangements, which means that
all fees received from entries and mem
bership will revert to the prize fund.
Special Railroad Rates.
Members of the executive committee
are now engaged in the effort to secure
rates on all railroads, and will get
hearing before the general passenger
agents when that body meets, Jan. 10.
Every bowler in the west is cordially
invited to join with us and assist in
promoting the welfare of the Western
Bowling congress and the interest of
bowlers IN general.
The future Of the Western Bowling
congress depends in a great measure
upon the success Of this first meeting.
Let us all work together in harmony
for the advancement Of the game in the
west and the Western Bowling congress
will take its place among the great or
carnations Of the country.
