NATIONAL BOWLERS.
Annual Tourney at Detroit to Be q
Corker.

DETROIT, Mich. December 25.-Prep-
arations are being made for the tenth
annual A. B. c. bowling tournament.
which will be held here from February 20
to March lB. The coming meeting of the
knights Of the pin will excel all those OF
past tournaments The increasing popu-
lar1ty Of the game is said to be due to
this az well as the new high marks for
entries and prize money. The conclave
was held in Pittsburg last year and
nearly 5000 men entered the various
events.
II 10 planned to make the tournament
a larger one than ever before. Already
1900 entry blanks have been printed
and will be sent out in q few days. From
these It is thought that a record breaking
list OF entries will be had. Special rates
will! be arranged for by the tournament
committee for those who will attend the
meeting coming from cities Of far dis
lance.
The building which will be chosen as
the Battle-Ground has fourteen alleys. II
Is also said that promises will be made to
allow women bowlers to bowl In an event
Of their own.
One point which will attract the bowlers
is that every five-man team will shoot at
new pins. The contract given by the
tournament company calls for 400 sets of
official A. B. C. pins. Heretofore pins
have been changed daily, but the decision
to make every team use new pins will
equalize things as never before.
When the five-man teams ale through
with q set Of pins they will be used by
the two-man teams. and later by the in
d!viduals. Thus no team will have an
advantage by reason Of shooting at pins
which have been subjected to an all-day
bombardment. which is apt to make them
fall easier.

''Criger will make the Highlanders win
next year" says James McAleer, manager
OF the Washingtons. 1.-The veteran catch
er is not all in by any means, for he
caught great ball for me in st. Louis last
season He has ways been anxious to
play in New York and I know he is de-
lighted with the deal just made. Criger,
in my opinion, is the best catcher in the
American League right now and under
congenial conditions he will be a great
man for the Highlanders. Mr.. Farrell
asked my advice about securing Criger
and / urged him to close the deal. STALL
ings has some fine young pitchers, who
will improve in form with Crfger to ham
de them. A f1rst-class catcher Is big
factor in any teams success and that is
why I believe the New York Americans
win play a much stronger game than last

annual election of officers. The following
officers were elected: Paris HI. Pollard
president: r. A. Tucker. vice president;
Frank l.. Mckinney. secretary, and Fred
erick Reynolds. treasurer.
It was decided to cut the organization
down to six teams. therefore the Munic-
ipal and Interior teams were combined
under the name of the Interior team. and
the Navy Yard and Agriculture teams
were combined under the name of the
Navy Yard team. The league has very
bright prospects for another successful
season next year.

Rice Gambit Tourney.

The annual competition for the Rice
championship IS now well under way and.
as usual, has been productive of some eX-
ceedingly lively encounters. Already Two
OF the entrants have singled themselves
out from the rest of the field, namely, r.
b. Adams and l.. r. SEE. and from pres
ent indications the outcome of the tour
ney is likely to resolve itself into a duel
between them. They have not Yet met
each other in the tourney. and as they
are both thoroughly familiar with the
fascinating qualifications Of Prof. Rfce's
famous opening there will be unusual
interest in the two games.
1t is interesting to note that SO far the
gambit has received peculiar vindication
at the hands of the two leaders. Adams
having won three games with white and
three with black and lost one with black,
while SEE has three wins and one draw
with white and three draws and one loss
