Joe Fogler, Roots partner said last

The next time I'll have everything down

Root also said that Frank Calvin was

but he did not have to earn his money.

Teams From Northwest.

Reports from Spokane imply that at
least one team viii come from there this
year. With the distribution of the entry
blanks throughout the territory governed
by the Western Bowling congress IL will
be only short time until a conservative
estimate of the number of outside teams
which Will attend the tourney can be
made.
A matter Of Importance that should re-
ceive prompt attention by the bowlers of
Denver is the election OF delegates and
this meeting of the congress. The cleo
ton Of officers takes place at this meet
ing, and 1t should be remembered that
all officers of the Western Bowling con-
gress are elected by the votes of the dele
gates. There will be a president first
second and third vice president and ca
secretary and treasurer to elect at this
meeting, as well as an executive commit
tee of eight members Local bowlers
should also secure their individual mem
bership cards at once, in order that they
may be eligible to vote for the delegates
who represent them in this meeting OF
the congress.
