Mr.. Livingston. president Of the De
partmental Bowling League. and reDre-
sentative Of the Eastern Bowling Assn-
iation. then brought up the question Of
entries in that association at it's At
lantic City tournament beginning March
2S and running through Easter. 1t was
decided that the dues of s. paid in
by each club for membership IN the city
association entitled il TO participation
In the Eastern Association as well as
the older Western organization. This
means that a club. two-men team.
or individuals belonging to any team
at present represented in the city as
ISOLATION. must deposit with the treas
urer S1.O0 for each club or team, for
the Eastern association. as was done
for the old American Bowling Congress.
In other words. a team at present in
the city organization, by depositing
800 with the treasurer, would be-
come a member of the city association,
and be eligible to enter five men, two
men or individuals Of that club in either
the Western or Eeastern organization,
or both
Owing TO the nearness of Atlantic
City and its popularity It is confidently
expected that Washington will have a
large representation at the bowling
fest by the sea during the gay Easter
season Entry blanks for the various
events in the Atlantic City tournament
can be had from Mr.. Livingston, Mr..
Meyers, or at the Palace alleys
