AS predicted in the columns of this
paper some time ago. Secretary I.angtry
sends word that the coming tournament
under the auspices of the American
Bowling Congress, to be held az St
Louis, beginning the latter part OF next
month, and lasting eighteen days. Will
show an entry list in the five-man event
of moro than $50 CUNTS This will Insure
prize list OF more than 81 900, the big
gest prize cake the bowlers have ever
rolled for.
ST Louis Will present an amendment,
backed by thirty-one delegates, chang
ing the constitution to provide for an in
dividual plan of membership, in place OF
that of the club. They are confident,
that with AN Individual membership
plan. the American Bowling Congress.
the parent body OF bowling. which has
made rapid progress in the last ten
years. will grow still more rapidly.
They viii also submit an amendment toe
provide for salary to be paid the sec
rotary OF the A, 3. c. that will allow
him TO devote his entire time to the
duties OF the Office and along these lines
there have been some suggestions as TO
who the next secretary will be. 1t is con-
coded that Mr.. Langtry will hold the
office If he desires 10 accept It, on CON
dition he would not, Frank Pasdeloup, Of
Chicago. Is mentioned, and probably
would accept II il would be the choice
Of the convention. While there are sew
eral others who perhaps will be nomin-
ated. apparently Mr. Pasdeloup will be a
hard man TO beat. II Bob" Bryson Is
not Reelected president. there is move
ment on foot 10 elect A. l. Langtry
although Secretary Vogei, OF the St
Louis tournament company. has received
many letters boosting Garry Hermann
for the Office again.
st. Louis has $40 teams belonging
TO its ciJy association, thus assuring them
Of thirty-one delegates TO the national
convention. With this number In line il
begins 20 look like the ST. Louis delega-
ton viii be able to swing things in
way that suits them. as the other dele
gates from over the State will. in all
probability, east their vote in the same
way as the Mound City bunch.

Just TO stir things UP little. how about
that local tournament committee getting
together and pulling OF something. Sup
pose they announce a general meeting /
Of every bowler in the District TO be held |
al the Palace some Sunday afternoon |
What We want is fifty teams in the COM |

some OF them into line seems to drag /
them in.
District bowleTs who contemplate go /
ing TO the St Louis tournament want TO /
be sure to bear one important thing III /
mind, and that is, while the entries for /
the City Association tourney do not close /
until January is. those Of the. St Louis /
affair must be postmarked in the Wash
ington pOst-oftice not later than midnight /
OF January 8. otherwise they will not be /
accepted by the committee in charge /
To be an accepted entrant i'm the tourna-
ment at St Louis one must be a member
of the local City Association, and In or
der 20 insure having their entry accept
ed for the former they must file their
entry and entry Zee in the local organi-
Zation early enough to enable them 10

mail before midnight Of January s. The
fact that they have until January Is 10 I
make entry for the local AFFAIR dees not
mean that they will have until the same
date TO get on board for the one out
West, and the sooner they file entries in
the local association the better of they
will be both as TO dates and the certainty
Of being entered.
If some of the F street bellies could
wander into the Palace alleys any after

choice collection OF beaux to pick from;
and if they did. how long do you think il
would be before Alex Bum, Charlie Lem

Harry Waters. and Jimmie Fields would
be doing escort duty on Washington's
