SIX BOWLING CONGRESSES
Hermann Presents His Solution Of
Sectional Fights.
WOULD ADD TWO JURISDICTIONS
These 60 Re Called Southern and
Paciac--winners In Each Con-
gress 10 Meet in an Inter-
national Match.


CINCINNATI. o., Feb. 15.-Cspecial Tel
egram.)-six congresses working in har-
mony was Garry Herrmanns solution OF
the sectional fights that have occurred
in national bowling circles in past years,
as presented by the president Of ths
American Bowling congress at its first
meeting yesterday afternoon. His plans
call for bodies controlling the American,
National, Western and Canadian bodies as
now constituted, with the addition OF two
more, to be known as the Southern and
| Pacific.
Each congress will have entire jurisdic-
| tion in its own field and a member OF
any of them will be eligible TO bowl in
the annual tournaments Of any other body
on payment of an entry fee, without the
formality of Joining more than one city
association. Every club in any of these
associations will pay an additional fee
approximating 80 cents, which will be
thrown into a general fund to pay the
travelling expenses Of the winners of each
tournament to roll off for the national
titles at one of the congresses.
The international match. as It will be
called, will be rolled alternately at each
Of the various gatherings and will be
handled by a national commission COM
posed of a member from the six con-
crosses and a chairman, who viii also
make rules and handle the finances. Tho
American championship win go with tho
winners Of these matches instead of with
the American Bowling congress as for
merly. Mr.. Herrmann's proposal was
adopted at a gathering of delegates from
the four congresses now in the field and
will be subject to ratification on the flooe
Of the American Bowling congress tomor-
row.
Rumors that Chicago would bid for the
1910 convention, with forty alleys laid
in the Coliseum and $4,000 in prizes, were
denied by the Chicago delegates.
