PITTSBURG BOWLERS BUSY.
Plan Campaign 10 Land Next Years
National Tournament

Pittsburg Dec. 1.-two important ques-
tons are foremost in the minds of the
bowlers of Greater Pittsburg just now:
What city will get the tournament or
the American Bowling Congress in 1902"
and Who viii be the next president of
this thriving organization?"
Pittsburgers take more than a passing
interest in these questions because this re-
Gently expanded burg has designs on the
former and would not be averse to be-
coming the home Of the successor Of the
present incumbent Of the presidential
chair Pittsburg bowlers are confident of
landing the tournament; they have been
working hard for 1t ever since last years
tournament in ST Louis. when the first
boom for the Smoky City was launched.
And they have been working hard ever
since.
Recently several meetings were held by
prominent bowlers OF the twin cities. now
welded into one. a committee was ap-
pointed TO engineer the campaign and
another appointed TO find a suitable hall.
The committee with whom lies the real
work OF securing the tournament is headed
by Barney Dreyfuss, president of the
Pittsburg National League baseball club.
He. as well as the other members, have
been working hard. The country will
within the near future be flooded with
literature extOlling the virtues of Pitts
burg as a location for the national meet
ing. At the 1908 tournament. which will
be held In Cincinnati in February. II will
be definitely decided where the meeting
Will be held Pittsburg will be repre-
sented by the biggest delegation OF bowl
ers that ever travelled TO a tournament
from this city
As for president II looks very much as
though Garry Hermann will again hold
the reins. The head of the Cincinnati
National League baseball club annexed
the title last season, succeeding Robert
Bryson. of indianapolis, and his admin
istration has thus far pleased the ma
jority Of bowling followers affiliated with
the American Bowling Congress. The
prizes that have been hung up by the
enterprising head of the Reds and his
coworkers are the biggest in the history
OF. the game. and If no prominent bowling
artist suddenly springs to the front and
makes an energetic night for the place IL
seems quite likely that the boss OF base
ball in the Ohio city will again rule the
American Bowling Congress.

corporated in the new organization, and
Philadelphia, Baltimore. and Paterson.

make up the new Union League The
Atlantic League will probably continue
business with cities in Pennsylvania TAX

dropped out TO join the Union League.

RADTKE'S PLIGHT A LESSON.
Fall of Former Stnr Jockey Warn
ing to Young Riders.

New York, Dec. 16.-Announcement is
made that Herman Radtke. once the most
successful jockey OF his. day-and thai
was not more than two years ago-is now
so heavy that he obtains few mounts in
California and he has accepted an offer
to ride in Russia in 1905.
This practically marks the retirement
from the American turf OF a rider who
had caused more turmoil than any Jockey
on the turf He came under the discipline
of the starter so frequently that a mis-
taken sense of sympathy was aroused in
his behalf
Radtkes destiny should be a lesson to
those youthful saddle experts now on the
top wave Of prosperity at New Orleans
and in California.
The lives led by these lads when far
away from the healthy supervision OF the
Jockey Club are nearly always open TO
criticism Fortunate indeed is the jockey
who has at his elbow a mentor wise
enough and influential enough to steer his
path away from baneful temptations.

SPLIT IN JOCKEY CLUB.
One Loyal Track Is About to Desert
Western Association.

New Orleans. La. Dec. 16.-That the
developments Of the opening week Of the
season at the Fair Grounds track will
eventually bring about the dissolution Of
the Western Jockey Club is the confident
belief of those best informed in local
racing circles. Such happening is freely
predicted here just now. 1t Is no guess
work that the old turf-governing body
now depends for its very existence on
the support of the local track that has
always given its allegiance. and neither
Is there the slightest chance for doubt
that the expected support will not be
given.
In arranging for its season the Cres-
cent City Jockey Club officially decided
that it would have nothing more TO do
with the Western Jockey Club.
