GREAT SPORT IS EXPECTED
Six Teams Expected to Contest for Pur-
ses in a Seventy-Five Game Season
Take Interest in State and National
Meets.

Kenosha .bowlers gathered at the
Petersen alleys on Tuesday evening for
the purpose of recognizing the Keno
-sha Bowling League for the coming
season and the meeting was such an
enthusiastic one that it is certain that
the new league will be formed and
that greater interest will be taken in
the work on the alleys this year than
in any former year in Kenosha. Repre-
sentatives from more than a dozen clubs
who have taken part In bowling league
contests in the past we've present at
the meeting and the sentiment was
strongly in favor of forming six
club league similar to the league last
year. John Knutz, himself one of the
strongest bowlers in the city will act
as manager of the league but the final
make up of the league will not be COM
plete for another week. 1t is planned
TO have six teams in the league and
the schedule will provide for seventy
five games for each of the teams. The
champion All Stars of last season will
be back in the game again this year
and the make up of the team will be
practically the same as in the former
season. The Night Hawks, The Eagles,
the Starts and the D. and D. team have
all slgnified readiness to come into
the league and in addition it is ex-
pected that the Elks, Royal League and
knights of Columbus teams will be
seeking place before the league season
is formally opened. On account of the
number of teams seeking place in the
league it may be found advisable to
increase the number of teams to eight.
The season will open about the Sec
ond week in October and it will take
till the middle Of April to play off the
full schedule.
In addition to the Kenosha League it
is expected that the teams on the
North Side of the river will organize
a league to be known as the Park City,
League and this league will also be
made up of at least six teams. The
interest in the sport is growing so
rapidly in Kenosha that early in the
season efforts will be made to organize

ta,tives from other cities of this see.
tion of the state during the winter
months. Arrangements are already be-
ing made for thy, second annual bowling
tournament to be open to bowlers in
Racine, Milwaukee and Kenosha and
it is probable that this tourney will
be held in Kenosha this year. The
first tournament of this nature was held
in Racine last season and proved To be
one OF the most interesting sporting
events ever arranged for the sports of
the three cities. With the tourney in
Kenosha it is certain that thirty or
forty bowlers would enter for the prizes
The Racine league has already been
reorganized and if the Kenosha bowlers
do not care to take care of the tourna-
ment for the three cities arrangements
will be made to have it pulled off in
Racine or Milwaukee. Both Of these
cities are willing to make preparations
for it.
Waukegan bowlers are anxious to
get in on this tournament and if IL is
held in Kenosha it is pretty certain
that the Wankegan Bowlers will oct
hit at the prizes offered.
The Kenosha bowlers are planning
to take a more active interest in the
state meet this year than in former
years and it is not improbable that
Kenosha will have a strong team to rep
resent the city at the National Bowl
ing congress. Wisconsin has for the
past five years taken high standing
in the National Congress but the Keno.
sha teams have never contributed any
to this distinction for the state.
