OFFICERS CHOSEN
 BY THE BOWLERS

Detroit, March 9.-The executive com rnittee of the American Bowling congress met today and nominated practically all of the present officers for the same posi- tions during the coming year.
 It was decided to increase the number of members of the executive committee from 15 to 1S George A. Metzger of Pittsburg and Emil Schmitt of Cincinnati were dropped from the committee. Following is the slate of officers for the coming year as prepared by the executive com mittee: President, s. H. Bryson, Indian apolis: first vice president. Adam Hahn, Pittsburg; second vice president Fred w Gosewisch, St. Paul; third vice presi- dent, M. A. Phillips, St Louis; secretary. A. L. Langtry, Milwaukee; treasurer, Frank L. Pasdeloup, Chicago.
 The committee took no action on the proposed amendment concerning the open ing date of the annual tournament.
 The amendment will be submitted to the committee without recommendation. St. Louis delegates oppose the arbitrary fix ing of the opening date a Saturday in February, and say they will not bid for the 1911 tournament if they cannot adhere to their plan of opening 1t in January in order to give baseball players an oppor- tunity to compete.

Business will truly begin to pick up in the baseball line here tomorrow. The players signed by Manager Molesworth have begun to report in punches Five are already here. and a majority of the remaining men will in all probability show up before night falls again.
 The men who reported yesterday are McBride the outfielder whom Manager Molesworth secured from the Rock Isl- and "Three r. lee que management; FL liott, one of the new eatchers, who played with Kenwanee in the Central as- sociation last season; Lower, the Omaha, Western league pitcher whom Moley se- cured from the Cincinnati Reds. and Wagner, pitcher, who played with Bing- hampton in the New York State league last year, and whom Manager Moles- worth secured from the New York Amer ioers. Williams, the Central Kansas league man, reported Tuesday All five of these men have answered present, and they all state their readiness to get down to work.
 Manager Molesworth stated last night that he expected a majority of the re- maining men 10 report today, and it IS very probable that the first practice will be conducted tomorrow morning at West hnd park.
 The fans who remember Harry Niles the big second baseman who played with R1rmingham several years ago, can gain an idea of how Lower looks without see ing him. This pitcher has every appear ance of being an excellent man. Measur- ing longitudinally more than six feet and weighing possibly 175 pounds. and be sides that, being a young man, this fel. low looks like he Is to rrove q power on the diamond some day If not this season.
 The other boys all look good, and state that they feel fine.
 As the team Is beginning to assemble the fans have probably begun to wonder who these fellows are, anyway. The of fcial dops books will give a majority of them credit for being good ball players, and that should prove enough to satisfy the average fan until the men get lim- bered up and down to business.
 The following table shows the records of last season, made by players whom Manager Molesworth has enlisted for his tesm this year:
