 Alleys.

Full arrangements for the conditions under which the Journal Courier inc dividual bowling championship of the city tournament is to be run will be completed this afternoon when the ya- rious alley owners of the city meet at the Academy alleys and draw up plans for the competition which will occasionally he one of the best and will in its nature decide the cham plonshIp of New Haven which for some time has long been in doubt.
 Already a large number of crack boWlers from the Academy, Tuexdo, the Republican club and the Sterling alleys have expressed their intention of competing in the tournament. Unqucs- tlonablS there will be no bar to any bowler joining In this competition. but every person who does enter will be expected to roll their full schedule of games
 The tournament will begin on the first of the New Year and will extend from twelve to fifteen weeks. In roll ing off the matches all the alleys inI the city will be used and the competi- ton will be of the nature of 'homoI and home series" That Is each bowler will roll the other on his own alley and on his opponents alley, thus giving noI bowler an express advantage over tho other
 A large number of opinions have been heard about the alleys, declarng that an entrance fee should be charged. This while not In any way proposed by the Journal Courier will be decided at the meeting of the alley owners this afternoon
 Tn support of the entrance fee the opinion has been expressed that 1t should be charged in order to keep the bowlcrs "up to snuff' In their rolling and also to give tho competitors a re- munerative prize as well AS an honor gold medal.
 A contemporary in speaking of tho award of prizes which would result from the admittance fee gives tho fol- lowing division to those who finish up among the first:
 To the winner of the most games, a 1 gold medal and 30 per cent. of entrance money; to the second In standing, 25 per cent; third, 20 per cent; fourth, 15 1 per cent. and fifth, 10 per cent.
 The actual disposition of the prize money will be decided this afternoon The following men will meet at the Academy alleys this afternoon and they in all probability will compose the gov erning board of the Journal-Courler in- divldual championship tournament: i Charles Johnson from the Academy alleys, George Weber from the Tuxedo alleys, Alfred Powell from the Republi- can club alleys. J. P. Jacobson from tho Sterling alleys and William F. Ford, secretary of the State and City l leagues.
