BOWlers Will
Meet in This
City in March
Great Tournament to Be Held
Here Which Will Attract
Attention of the West

The Western bowling congress,
| which was organized in 1905, will hold
its fourth annual convention and tour
nament in this city from March 26 to
April 2 of next year. AS San Francisco
has worldwide reputation as con-
vention city and through the efforts of
a number of enthusiastic delegates
who journeyed to Seattle last spring
and attended the convention held in
that city, the next meeting of the
bowlers was secured for San Fran
cisco.
The individual membership is made
up largely of professional and business
men, who have become aware of the
great physical benefits to be derived
from the game and who recognize the
merits of clean and wholesome sport,
diverting their minds for a few hours
each day from the worry of business
cares.
The purposes of the Western bowling
congress are, to build up and foster
the game of American tenpins; to pro-
vide, adopt and enforce rules among
its members that will more closely as
sociate the bowIers for their own mu-
tual benefit; to protect the interests of
it's members in general and to encour-
age the spirit of good fellowship
among all bowlers within its jurisdic-
tion.
The Western bowling congress is one
of the four great bowling organizations
that has sprung into existence in the
last few years as a result of the great
popularity of the game and the dema nd
of the followers of the sport for an
nual. meetings in which they may
| match their science and skill against
each other in public exhibitions.
One of the most successful of these
meetings was held at Denver in 1907
and over 500 bowlers took an active
part, but from present indications the
meeting of 1910. to be held in this city,
will surpass any in the history of the
organization.
The bowlers of California will at
tend in great numbers. while from the
states bordering on the Pacific large
delegations will attend. British CO.
lumbia will send her full quota, while
the trans Missouri country will also be
we'll represented.
At the annual meeting of the west
ern bowling congress Harry Leap of
this city was unanimously elected
president of the congress. The ex-
ecutive committee, the governing body
of the organization, has given Leap
full power to make all the necessary
arrangements for holding the -conven-
ton and tournament in this city. Leap
has already named the date for the
opening March 26. A. L. Jenkins, sec
retary-treasury of the congress, has
opened headquarters in the city and
will assist Leap in arranging the de-
tails of the meeting. A number of
other assistants will be named within
a fortnight and active preparations
for handling the big event will soon be
in full swing.

Mother" Howe
Is Cheered on
His Way Home
Assistant State Rugby Coach
Leaves for Australia Enfhu-
SiaSfiC Over Results
By WILLIAM UNMAcK

w. ]. Mother) Howe. who was as
sistant coach to the victorious CaIifor-
MIA Rugby team this season. left last
night for Vancouver on his way to
Australia. There was large gather
ing of football men and friends TO bid
him bon voyage and cheer him away.
Howe was very enthusiastic over
what he had seen during his stay in
California
''Phe Rugby game in California has
a very bright future" he said. ''The
class of Rugby played here is of a very
high standard, considering the game has
only been played four very short sea
sons. Now that the secondary col
leges and schools are taking the game
up, am positive it win improve won
derfully. and before many years
predict that the California Rugby men
will hold the pride of place among the
Rugby teams the world over.
There must be a proper Rugby
union here for two reasons. First and
foremost. such an organization is to
foster and help the game. Secondly,
Rugby will never be recognized here
by foreign countries until there is d
proper governing body.
1T is my intention to have the New
South Wales Rugby union invite an
all California team to tour Australia
next year.
Il want to thank the members of
the press for what they have done for
me. l am a agreeably surprised at the
large amount of football news in the
papers here. AS regards technical re-
ports on the games. articles on points
of law and criticisms of players, The
San Francisco Call is the only paper
that prints correct technical reports. I
have read all the papers. but The Call
is and should be looked upon as the
greatest authentic authority on Rugby
football in this country"

West Point Leads Fight To
Reform Football

WEST POINT, n. Y, Nov. 27-Al-
though it has been decided that foot
ball will be played at West Point next
year despite the unfortunate death of
Cadet Byrne this fall, it is understood
that the game as it is now played
must be reformed.
1t is likely therefore that the army
will again lead the fight for rule re-
vision as it did in 1905
The association which was then
formed and which is now headed by
Captain Palmer E. Price. will meet in
New York December 81 to consider the
changing of existing regulations so as
to provide for a more open game.

ed the picture of perfect health as he
proudly displayed his book of sigma
lures, in which President Taft had
signed his name, remarking that he
did not have the time to rid himself of
the useless avoirdupois, as Joe was
doing Joe's book has the signatures
Of Governors, and state and city seals
and the names of foreign potentates.
Joe bore the stamp of genuineness
from the tip of his dusty shoes to the
top of his khaki hat; and with five
languages at his disposal, could con-
vince any skeptic. He is an author.
Several years ago he published a little
book in Agran describing his walks,
and, as every Croatian bought a copy,
the book was a great success.
Began a $4,000 Mile Tramp.
Joe became a figure of provincial
Importance, and an Agran publishing
firm offered him $4,000 for an account
Of a 25,OOO mile walking trip. Joe
was game. He packed his knapsack
and started from the home of his fore
bears.
Agran, capital of Croatia, is near
the Adriatic Sea. From Agran Joe
receives orders from the publishing
house for the different stages of the
journey. First he "hoofed it" through
ltlay. France, Spain and Portugal,
from where he worked his passage to
Cape Town. From Cape Town he
walked to Port Elizabeth. where he
again took ship as a cooks assistant
and landed in the Argentine Republic
at an unpronouncable port. Having
walked through long series of I'M
spellable names he arrived in Buenor
Ayres and finally landed in Rio ia
neiro
Another job as potato peeler got
him passage to Philadelphia. This was
August 10, 1908. After a weeks nap
in Philly Joe started across Pennsyl-
vania and the other states which inter-
vene between there and the Golden
Gate. On the Nevada-Utah line Joe
was held-up by thirteen hoboes, who
relieved him of $685. Then he walked
100 miles without a stop to Montello.
Has to Earn His Way.
After jogging back and forth across
California few times, Joe started out
to return by the Southern route Texas
etc. and crossed the Tennessee Pass
with the thermometer 35 degrees be-
low zero.
Joe can neither beg, borrow, nor
steal, according to his contract, so, to
earn his way, he just hands you a card
and locks pleasant Every two weeks
he sends long account Of his travels
to his publishers. and at each stop
ping place he receives Instructions
from them where to go next. The
publishers have the use of Joe's legs
for another 5000 miles and, until he
goes TO the postoffice today, he will
not know what will be the next stage
Of his journey.
When he left home Joe weighed !
$50 pounds. Now he tips the scale |
at 1876, and feels better for it, He |
has worn out thirty-six pairs of shoes
md 537 pairs of socks.
