II ECAUSE of the remarkable inter-
Id est shown in the head-pin bowl
ssing tournament conducted by the
STAR last season, and in response to
the general demapd for another COM
petition of the Same sort, it has been
decided by the STAR to open a head
pin tournament on the %Iroquois alleys
in Washington street.
1t is now proposed to roll the open
ing game Wednesday night, Decem-
berf s.
The conditions governing the COM
ing contests are to be practically the
same as those last season.
In the hrst place the tournament II

Entries will be accepted from any
nve-man team, regardless OF where the
bowlers reside.

The prize list is an attractive one.
and it has been made up with the idea
Of offering to the individuals as much
in the way of awards as possible.
The first team prize will be either
S25 in cash or. a receipt for a fve-man
teams entrance fee in the coming an
nual tournament of the National Bowl
ing Association, to be held hext year,
in Baltimore. Md.
The second team prize viii be SIS in

For the Individual bowlers there win

as follows: III FL .4fT

TO the bowler making the third

highest score, %.
TO the bowler making the nth nigh
To the bowler making the sixth
highest score, %.
In addition to these team and indi-
vidual awards in cash. The STAR will
give to every bowler who makes a
score of 100 or better a souvenir medal,
the same to be of handsome design and
good material.
To. those who may not be acquainted
with the head-pin game, in spite of the
fact tina that the monster tournament
conducted by the STAR last e surely
| afforded everybody a chance to 'get
WISE it may be well to explain that
the highest possible score Is 100.
One ball is rolled each frame, and
there are. twelve frames. II the head
pin is hit all the pins knocked down
in a frame are counted. II the head
pin Is not hit by the ball no. pins are
allowed. Therefore. in order to get
a perfect score Of 100 twelve consecu-
tive strikes are necessary. just as in
the regulation game, where twelve
| strikes would count 800.
The tournament, as last season, will
be conducted OF the Iroquois alleys. In
Washington street. The regular rules
Of the head-pin bowling game will be
enforced. P. w. Huttenbach, Of the
Iroquois alleys, is to act as referee, and
his decisions in all disputes will be
final.
The tournament matches will be
| rolled, according to the present plan,
on Wednesday and Friday nights of
each week, beginning Wednesday night,
December 8.
1t is expected that eight teams will
bowl each tournament night, two going
on at a time, the competition to start
at Sis o'clock each night. If it shall
be found necessary to roll additional
nights this fact will be duly an
nounced.
An entry blank will be found in an
other column. and teams must send in
entries on his blank. These should be
signed by the captain, who should add
his address. Dates thai a team wishes
to avoid, on account of bowling en-
gagements. should be named, so that
the committee, in drawing up q sched-
ule, may act accordingly.
Nearly 1900 bowlers took advantage
of the STARS offer last season. More
are expected this season. Indications
| are that the teams will number at
least 1,5oO this year.
A hot series is scheduled in the New
Jersey national bowling tournament at
the Tuxedo alleys tonight, when the
| Tuxedo. Roseville and Iroquois teams
will meet. Tuxedo is now leading with
a clean slate. but they are likely 10
drop a game to either of their oppo-
nents. as the latter teams are made up
Of strong bowlers, and will make any
team extend itself to win.
