for a large entry list seems to be assured
as the time draws closer Entry blanks
have been mailed to a number of towns
but as II Is usually the last few days
that they show up, It will be hard to esu-
mate the number that will be entered
President George Strotz of Des Mones
stated that Des Mo.nes would come to
Omaha with probably eight teams, as they
intend to be strong bidders for the next
tournament.
Bin Lucas claims not less than ten
teams from Kansas City and perhaps bid

best amateur players hut numbers Of
dyed in the wool fans. similarity in the
games naturally tend to cement the liking
OF the two, Take, for instance a strike
IN bowling is the same as a hit in base
ball, an error the same in both, and a
split as a strike-out. In the bowling game
strike acts not only upon the player, but
the whole team and is parallel to a hit
because II seems to put man on base a
spare advances him another base, and Sc
on through the game. Take the tenth
frame in a very close game and let the
player make an error. can you imagine
the feeling? It's just the same as a mar
