OF THE RUNNING

The A. b. C. bowling team cham
pion of the Detroit City league last
year. is formally down and out for the
first half of the present seasons race
as the result OF the three games which
they lost TO the Cadillacs on the lat
ter's alleys Tuesday evening.
The Cadillacs were in fine form and
rolled three 800 games, winning the
first 953 to 91S, the second 9s7 TO $50.
and the third 800 to S9S.
The result makes the Cadillacs fav-
orites for the championship during the
first half of the league schedule. in
which, there is but one week more TO
play. But the Herculeans and ALI
Stars are also well up and the final
result is pretty sure to remain unde-
cided until the last pin falls in the
games carded for next week.

Under the eye of James Frank, OF
Jackson, president OF the Kalamazoo
club. an entirely new constitution has
been drawn up for the state organiza
ton which is likely TO provoke no
small amount OF discussion when the
magnates get together TO talk II over.
The new constitution, as II stands
at present, embodies some sweeping
reforms. Most prominent among these
is the clause which confines the play
Ing strength OF each member To IL
men. This is a pronounced cut from
last season. when many of the teams
had ~ high as Is men ON their lists

new constitution at 81 900 per month,
exclustve%of 500, allowed for mana
gers. Any additional salary for the
executive viii have To come out OF
the $1,000, however.
The powers OF james Reynolds, the
secretary treasurer OF the league, have
been greatly enlarged in scope and
will incfude-providing the new con-
stitution is adopted--the handling OF
all money, the appointment and as
signment Of umpires and the settling
OF disputes between clubs, as well as
the appointment of Official scorers.
A novel provision has been made
for the purpose OF satisfying tie
league members on the umpire ques-
ton. The new constitution provides
that, when home club gets sore on
the arbitrator assigned TO officiate in
its games, IL can protest To the sec
rotary and, with his permission, pro-
vide the enemy OF all mankind with
transportation to whatever other CITY
in the league circuit the secretary
shall appoint, thus paying some slight
sum OF money for the satisfaction of
getting a change

Waicott charged repeatedly and

The black fighter did not land dozen
hard blows.
In one round in the middle of the
contest Gardner jabbed Walcott 19
times on the head with the left.
During the whole battle Gardner
