BALTIMORE, Md, March 16-March
o6 Is the date set for the closing of en-
tries for the fourth annual tournament of
the National Bowling Association at Bal
timore, April 8 to 80, inclusive In the
two weeks remaining Secretary Hazleton
expects to receive an avalanche Of en-
tries from all over the country. So keen
is the interest in the tournament that
bowling alley proprietors in many cities
are now holding elimination contests, the
winners to receive expenses to make the
trip to this city. OF the less fortunate
bowlers. those that can spare the time
and money will surely participate in what
is expected to be the most successful
bowling meeting ever held.
Winning bowlers in the tournament will
not have to wait long for their prizes.
Prompt distribution of all prize money
will be in vogue this year. The Baltimore
Bowling Tournament Company under
whose auspices the national convention
will be conducted, has given bond for
5000 to the National Bowling Associa-
ton to insure immediate distribution of
all prizes won at the forthcoming tourna
ment. While they allowed five days
to distribute the prizes the tournament
officials say that the last check will be
in the Baltimore post office before noon
of Sunday. May /. and all prize winners

will be in force from the middle of next

good as he was In the years gone by

artists as Duffy and Wefers Although
the team which has just finished its in
door campaign was by no means world
beaten yet it was of caliber worthy OF
every praise. considering that the major
ity of its members were novices. and
there is no doubt that another years
training under Foley will give the Hilltop
school relay four and track squad mt
to cope with the best In the collegiate
world.
Whether he will do any more work with
the candidates this season has not as yet
been settled. A meeting of the executive
council will be held soon to decide on
the practicabilty of holding a dual out
door meet with Virginia. and the decision
which is reached will govern the further
actions of the 1910 track management

CHAPTER III.
Getting Acquainted.

Harold Case mounted the stairs Of his
boarding house to the little ballroom
that he had called home for the last five
months It had been his first time away
from home and he was lonesome and
maybe just little homesick. for he had
come all the way from California to at
tend school at Lowell. Though he was q
poor boy. he had never had to look out
for himself before.
Perhaps his room-there was only one
small one-helped to make him lonesome.
It was comfortably furnished and the
meals which Mrs. Malcolm served her stu.
dent boarder were good, but this was
Harold's first white winter. He had lived
all OF his eighteen years In the balmy
climate Of the Golden state, and he missed
the warm sun and the bright green OF
the orange leaves and the yellow fruit
which he had been used to back home,
and he hadn't got accustomed to wear
ing overcoat and rubbers yet. as they
did every day here in the east.
He had just come In from class. His
feet were wet and he was cold, and the
register which was supposed to heat his
room was cold, for the weather was be-
ginning to get mild for eastern folks and
they had let the furnace get low. But
1t was still too cold and chilly for this
boy from the far west, and he was wish

money on his victory >than they did on
any other one event In the past six
weeks Jack Sturgis of New York, one
of the plungers here. backed his horse
from to ] down to s to at past time.
He later told his friends he had won
nearly $4,000 on tho race
The money was placed in jeopardy by
the reckless riding of Jockey GAM. who
cut across his field sharply. After Efhon
had won the stewards questioned CAM.
and for time the hackers of the horse
thought their money would be burned up
by an order to disqualify Ethon But
the officials after a long conference de-
cided not to change the regular order of
the placing, but to punish CAM instead.
They therefore ordered the jockey sus-
pended for week. When Ethon was
offered for sale Dick Williams bid him
up $500 Sturgis retained him by the
customary s. additional bid.
Jockey Butwell telegraphed James Nc
I.aughlin yesterday that he would start

run on Saturday This race will be

BILLY SULLIVAN IN
DANGER OF TETANUS
Clever Catcher 0vercomes
Blood Poisoning, But Lock-
Jaw Now Threatens.

LOS ANGELES Cal, March 49,
BILLY" Sullivan, veteran catcher of the
Chicago Americans. is undergoing treat
ment today to prevent lockjaw. Sullivan
stepped on rusty nail Saturday at
Chutes Park and was stricken with blood
poisoning. An operation yesterday over
came this, but there is still danger of
tetanus developing. Friends of Sullivan
who became alarmed at his condition
telegraphed his wife to come at once.
The players physicians say they hope to
have him in condition to don a uniform
in ten days or two weeks.
Wife Sent For.
CHICAGO. H., March 16-Mrs W. j.
Sullivan, wife of the Chicago American
catcher, left last night for Los Angeles
as a result of a change for the worse in
the condition of the former manager, who
stepped on rusty nail Saturday and is
now suffering from blood poisoning.
The telegram to Mrs. Sullivan, evidently
intended not to be alarming, read as fol-
lows:
Progressing nicely. Think it better for
you to come at once. Your company and
nursing will hasten recovery. Take Santa
Fe to Los Angeles. Wire us when you
leave. WILL"
Mrs. Sullivan was skeptical as to the
reassuring part of the message and stated
it did not sound like her husband word
ing. This suspicion was borne out by
Geographic reports from Los Angeles,
where it was stated that the infection in
the wound Of Sullivan's left foot was
spreading and that he was confined to his
room at the Elks' Club with a delirious
fever.
Mrs. Sullivan formerly was a trained
nurse and their marriage was the result
Of an acquaintance formed at Mercy Hos

er to draw to the front and win by about
foot and a half. The time of the

of applause from the crowd.
Eddie Carr, the veteran long-distance

SUNDAY SCHOOL LEAGUE.
New Constitution Adopted-New
Teams To Enter.

The constitution for the present year
was adopted last night at a meeting of
the Sunday School Base Ball League at
the Ninth Street Christian Church. There
were several changes in the old constitu-
ton.
One of the changes which it is believed
will be of great benefit was the clause
which says that no players shall be
signed by any team in the league after
July j.. Another important change is
that no players shall be transferred from
one to another after July ].
Another innovation in the bylaws pro-
vides that the pastor of each church shall
certify each month to the eligibility of
his players. based on their Sunday school
attendance for the preceding month One
of the provisions creates two separate
offices of secretary and treasurer, in
stead of combining these capacities in
one official, as was done last year
Three teams have applied for the va
cancy caused by the withdrawal of the
Bethany and st. Pauls teams from the
league, with the Emmanuel Baptist
Church and the Sixth Presbyterian men
toned as the most likely Ingram Me-
mortal is also after a place, and it is
expected that several more will apply
soon.

annual bowling tournament of the Ameri-
can Bowling Congress ended today with
Detroit men shooting in the two-man
and individual events The fve-man
teams finished last night. leaving only
the two minor classes for today. The
scores in the two-man events have not
come up to expectations and are con-
siderably below the marks that took first
place In the tournament at Pittsburg
last year. The individual leader is one
pin ahead Of the record which won In
1909. The event has been pronounced a
decided success by the American Bowl
ing Congress officials. The manner OF
running 1t off is said to have been bet
ter than that of any OF its predecessors
since the inception Of the present organi-
cation.

a particularly hearty welcome from his fellows

He was lonesome, too, because he missed

While the result was as expected the
great racers of the Boston quartet fur
nished a big surprise. In every relay
except the last the visitors outran their
opponents, and Gissing was compelled
to run his mightiest in order to win on
the tape. j. w. Richmond, G. J. Bacon,
Carl Waither and Gissing made up the
New York team. while C. w. Gram W.
G. Prout, E. e. Nelson and e. X. Merri-
hew represented Beantown.
Gram beat Richmond to the first turn,
and increased his lead gradually and
sent Prout away four yards in front of
Bacon. The former Irish American A.
{. hurdler was quick to catch his stride,
and before the turn was reached he
was on Prouts heels. But try as Bacon
might he was unable to pass the Bos-
third relay yard ahead of Carl Walther.
Both possessed about the same amount
