Entries from teams that wish to enter

Of the Middle West Bowling association
are coming in very rapidly and from the
number already received It leaves no
doubt in the estimate Of the officers
that it will exceed any list of previous
tournaments.
The pick of the bowlers from the lRrg-
est cities of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and
Nebraska will compete in this event and
among these will be found some Of the
most prominent bowlers Of the country.
Entries will close on Wednesday on
which day the schedule committee will
meet ana arrange for the opening day,
which will be November &c. Bowling
will then continue until December 4, the
closing date Of the tournament
Every league bowler in the city expects
to enter this affair in at least one, two
OF three events as there could be no
better way to boost the city or the game
than in taking a chance for some Of the
prize money. The success OF the tourna-
ment lies wholly within the hands OF the
bowlers OF this city as the outside entries
are really exceeding the first estimates
of the officers Of the association, and
the closing day for entries is but a few
days distant. it behooves the home
rooter to get busy and file his entry
right away.
