The firecracker nuisance is abroad
and should be suppressed. Enthusiasm
and patriotism are all right, but the
practice of throwing huge firecrackers
into crowds and in front of houses
just to frighten people two weeks be
fore the time for such business Is not
only obnoxious but is dangerous as
well. There Is state law regulating
the sale and use of explosives and 1t
should be strictly enforced. Anyhow
patriotism is not measured by the
amount of noise made or the amount
of powder burned. There are more
people killed and injured every year
by the misuse of firecrackers and cap
pistols than there were at the battle
OF Lexington. Nine out OF ten OF
those who explode firecrackers now
do 1t simply because they make
noise and make nervous people jump.

CLEVELAND TEAM
ENTERS TOURNEY
National Bowling Associations
Tournament Committee Re-
ceives Surprise.

PHILADELPHIA, january 7.-Quite a
surprise was handed the National Bowling
Associations Tournament Committee as
q New Years gift in the shape of entries
from one of the principal clubs in Cleve-
land, o.!
1t called for a fve-ma team, three
doubles and six individuals. Although the
ENTRY blanks and conditions will not DO
out until some time next week, the en-
tries from Cleveland will likely go on
record.as the first received. Enclosed in
the Westerner's letter was a ealues
that they be scheduled on two dates fol-
lowing each other, so as to be able to
time their trip.
This Is to be one of the features Of the
coming tournament. Every man entered
In the singles, doubles and ivc-man
events will finish in not more than two
days, and will not be compelled to wait
a week between the different events, as
in former Years at other national tour
naments. ~.
The contract for the hangers has been
awarded, and will be the most attractive
one over sent out. They will be distri-
buted throughout the United States wher-
ever there Is any bowling. Everything
will be done to make this the largest and
most attractive national tournament ever
held.
Inc games In The nVe-nan city cIIaIl-
pionship are becoming more interesting
every day. The attendance is on the in
crease, and the tournament Is a success
from every standpoint. TIL first seven
teams are sossclosely punched that 1t Is
anybody's fight. Regal is still in first
place. but only by a very small margin.
Casino and Algonquin are on even terms
for second place.
The best series played so far was be-
tween Wyndham n algonquin last Fri
day nightraThes games were holly con-
tested In each OF the three games
played II was possible to win or lose up
to the last man on. each side. Algonquin
won two, of the three games.
i The race In the two major Leagues or
anized and run by the bowlers tnem-
selves. is the closest ever seen In Phila-
delphia. In the Quaker City League the
Philadelphia Bowling Club. by winning
three games last week, went into first
place. Algonquin, which has been in the
lead all season. has dropped into second
place, closely followed by Lincoln, Col
onial. Wyndham, Pirates and General
Accident, only five games separating the
bunch. The teams in the Philadelphia
League are punched still more closely,
only seven games separating the first six
teams. Central holds first place, one game
| ahead of the Orientals. who are one game
| ahead of Terminal.
