There welo $500 bowlers in last sea-
sons tournament and 1.275 in the tour
nament OF the previous season. This
would surely seem to indicate that the
pin-knights know a good thing when
they see it and are quick to take ad-
vantage Of it.
The initial STAR head-pin tourna-
ment was marked by worlds record
of 545, made by the Athletic League
five of the Rosevile Athletic Associa-
ton. made up of Eddie Pierson, Fred
Crum, Elmer Wood, ID. Fl. Van Ness
and Charley Meyer. This total was
broken last year by a New York gum
tet, but the bowlers will undoubtedly
make a big effort to boost the figures
this season.

The competition for the watch fobs,
offered by the STAR TO the bowlers
who roll scores of 100 or better, is al

handed out hundreds of them and ex-
poets to deliver hundreds more.
The biggest individual tally last sea-

han well-known bowler of this city.
Idnihan has been identified with attn
lc.ics hereabouts for many years. lie
used to be active n conducting the
affairs OF the old Riversides when that
uptown organization was one of the
most prominent clubs hereabouts. he
also gained honors as bowler at
Montgomerys when that bowling acad-
emy was in the heyday of its existence.
Prospects This Year.
The STAR head pin tournament this
season will, as usual, be conducted by
Billy Huttenbach, the proprietor of the
Iroquois Bowling Academy He will act
as general manager. Teddy Wilson, the
local Switchboard expert and all-around
athlete, is to again officiate as referee.
With Teddy on the foul line, everybody
gets fair play. He sees that every rule
is lived up to and that every man who
gets big score earns it, and that every
man who earns big score gets 1T, too.
Teddy was so popular last season that
he received as a reward medal at the
end of the years work.
Bowlers will find on one of the sport
ing pages of both the evening and
morning editions of the STAR each day
an empty blank. This should be care
fully filed out with the name of the
team, the names of all the bowlers, the
captains name and address and also the
dates which the team wishes to have

possible, just the dato it wants
Rules.
The rules of the tournament provide
for absolutely open competition, free to
all, without any expense. There Will.
however, be close adherence, In every
detail, to the rules of the head-pin game.
The foul line rule will be carefully OBJ
served and bowlers who wish to win
watch fobs should practise carefully, II
they have gotten into the careless habit
of going over the foul line, to break
themselves of il.
No bowlers will be allowed to roll in
the STAR head-pin tournament more
than once. This regulation is made
necessary, because II has been found al
most impossible to give every man WIZ
wants a chance at the big prizes offered
by the STAR to perform, without allow
ing for any doubling up.
The bowling will probably be done
each Monday, wednesday and Friday
night. From eight to ten teams will, or
dinarly. be put on each bowling night,
