The question or the proper manner OF
dividing up prize moneys is being de-
bsted in bowling circles over the west
one Of the most popular OF the pres
mt systems is the plan OF giving about
two-thrds for teamwork and the other
third for individual
In former times more money was pat
10 for team events than for the individual
bowlers but the influence Of the crack
men has brought Il around In the other
direction.
Although the officials OF the Midwest
tournament did what the members had ex-
pressed as their desires and everyone in
the tournament was entirely satisfied with
the results II Is evident that a large
share OF the money went to a few cracks.
The amount put up for flve-men teams and
for doubles was S17SO and T65 FOR indi-
vlduaI bowlers But out Of the team prize
list comes $3.50 which went to two-men
teams leaving only 1926 for five-men
teams Thus two crack men on doubles
team often took good money
In Chicago a strong movement Is being
made for more money 20 the teams and
less to the individuals and rumors all
over the middle west say that after this
the system OF about one-fourth instead or
one-thrd will prevail in tournaments
