LOUISVILLE. Ky. March Especially
The sixth national bowling tournament held
under the auspices of the American Bowl
ing Congress ended here last Wednesday
night. when a squad Of forty-two Louisville
clubs shot for the local championship. Ii
will probably be the last tournament of its
size ever held, although St. Louis is ener-
getically working even now to make the
1907 event a winner. Philadelphia's final
rundown at the hands of the delegates
present, due chiefly to the injudicious re-
marks Of Charles II. Ebbets, the Brooklyn
man who owns the Superbans in the Ma
tional Base Ball league, has caused the
fasteners to threaten to withdraw. and It
was generally understood that as soon as
they returned east they would form a rival
body with the national championships at
stake, the same as the American Bowling
Congress events. Whether this will happen
or not is a question that few days time
alone will tell.
The prize winners at the tournament just
ended were the Centurys No. T. in the team
contest with 2.794. Charles Hamilton and
Arthur Hussey winning the doubles with
1,26S, while Frank Favour, an old base ball

Arrangements for Tournament.
Comment on the tournament now that the
friction has worn off is inclined to favor
the management. Realizing that they
worked under adverse circumstances in
having the Sunday closing law en-
forced on them, entailing a change
in the schedule right when bowl
ers had made all their preparations to
leave for the scene of battle, the officials
must be given fair credit for accomplishing
their work in the time set The scoring
system. arrangements for the bowlers in
admitting them into the bull-pen before
! their games and weighing and measuring
! their balls before the bell rang for their
games was nearly perfect.
From the financial standpoint, the tourn-
ament was a success for the men who
risked their money in promoting it. the
admissions having been excellent. On
Thursday night, the banner night over
1900 was received in admissions. Several
protests were filed during the week, but
promptly withdraw on their makers being

NEW YORK, March 31.-The American
intercollegiate foot ball rules committee,
consolidation Of the old foot ball rules COM
mittee and the representatives OF colleges
who attended the recent conference on foot
ball reform held I'm this city, finally adopted
today the new playing rules for 1905. Inc
committee sat until late tonight, the task
before it being tedious one. The commit
tee has attempted to open the game
wherever possible and to eliminate unneces-
sary roughness and brutality. Al the saune
time the committee has striven TO retain
some semblance Of the game as IL mas beeh
played in this country during the last sew
eral years
one OF the principal changes doubles the
distance to be gained in three downs, ten
yards now being required OF the team on
the offensive instead of hve as hereIoloIe;
Forward passes are to be allowed ana

The committee has endeavored to cover al
points Of the game over which com mp ,IlI,
rules in eliminating rough play, however,
can be proved only when they are put into
actual practice, as on paper they are largely
OF technical character.

Mrs. JacObus Pleased.

Mrs. Pauline Jacobus, owner of the
famous pottery located near Edgerton
delivered most interesting lecture in
this city at Library hall Friday evening
The speaker took for her subject, "The
Story of Pottery" and for two hours
she gave the most interesting lecture OF
it's kind ever delivered in the Bower
City.
Mrs. Jacobus is we'll known here
through her connection with the Pauline
Pottery works of Edgerton, of which she
is the founder and owner. She became
interested in pottery some years ago and
was a member of the old Cincinnati
club; in fact, was employed in the work
before it was incorporated into the now
famous lockwood Pottery. She designs
her own pieces in Edgerton, originates
her ideas, etc.
The lecture was given under the aus.
pices of the Art League and while here
Mrs. Jacobus managed to dispose OF sew
eral costly pieces of pottery.-Janesville

,. s.Mrs. Black is Back" which will be
presented by May Irwin and her com.
pany at the Myers Grand for one night
Monday, Jan. %, is straight" comedy
written by George V. Hobart, author OF
the famous John Henry" stories. The
story is built upon theme not altogeth-
er new but the technical construction OF
the play compares favorably with the
most successful of French writer's OF
farce. Mrs. Black lies to her husband.
It is simple, common, forgiveable lie,
because it is only about her age. Before
she is married for the second time she
tells husband to-be that she is seven
years younger than family statistics can
prove. The interesting and laughabie
situations arise from the fact that "Lit-
tie Johnnie" Mrs. Blacks big son of
seventeen, who is away at school in Eng
land, must logically have his age re-
duced to ten years or "cease to be gen
tleman" Some of the complications
bring the incidental development close
to the border of farce, but the entire
story is natural and the development of
the plot logical.
Prices %, so, IS. Sl.00, $3.50. Seats
can be reserved by phone.
May Irwin is one of America greatest
actresses and her appearance in James
vile will be most important theatrical
event.

the safety of citizens and property.
When the date for audit came major
ity of the council declined TO allow the
accounts, claiming that the mayor ex-
ceeded his authority in appointing extra
police without the advice and consent of
the council Judge Fruit maintained
that it was the prerogative and duty of
the mayor, who is head of the police de-
partment, to make such appointments
as he deemed advisab ole and necessary,
and his judgment was to that effect, and
the city must pay the bill.

ton is made that the 21st annual will
far excel in every respect all previous en-
tertainments given by the Department.
The ball this year will be held in Acad-
