ing for the coming annual tenpin tour

the alleys, and that the American
Bowling Congress rules would be strict
ly observed in this respect.
All captains and managers of tenpin
teams should give prompt consideration

tries made as much in advance of that
date as possible in order to facilitate
the preparation Of the schedule.
Expect a Record.
Thirty-two teams competed last year,
and It Is hoped to pass this record by
at least three, some Of the officials
placing the number as high as forty

League: Saengerbund, Chamber Of Com
merce, and Terminal Y. NJ. c. A. of the

PEACEFUL MEETING
EXPECTED BY A. A.
Powerful Minor League Will
Not Stir Trouble
This Month.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-President Chiving-
ton and George Tebeau, of the Amer-
can Association, give assurance that
peace will prevail at the annual meet
Ing to be held here January IL.
Although Tebeau mentioned that
everything would be serene in the
American Association and Eastern
League. he did not forget to remark
there would be something stirring when
the agreement of those organizations
expires with the National Association of
Minor Leagues in September. 1911.
In this President Chivington would
not back him UP. but the executive of
the American Association intimated In a
voice stronger than necessary that the
minor league association had not lived
up to its agreement with the American
Association and Eastern League. and
would have to answer for 1t. He said
he was not taking any steps for a with
drawal, and that he had not held any
conference with any of the major league
presidents regarding the case.
For this coming summer at least, 1t
is thought, the dove of peace will fly
IN the ranks of the American Associa-
tion and Eastern League. This Is as
sured by Tebeau and Chivington. They
same, and the league and teams Will
continue to be active as in the past.
The arrangement with the National
Association Is still as strong as ever,
despite the fact that neither the Amer
lean Association nor its partner has had
representatives at the meeting of the
National Association for several years.
President Pat Powers attended the one
held in Chicago this winter, but he
said he did not come down as a repre-
sentative of his organization. The
magnates of the big minors say they
don't care to start trouble while Iuey
are under peace agreement, but wnen
they are set free from the lines OF the
little fellows, then they plan to 20 be-
fore the National Commission with a
plea something after this order:
See here, Mr.. National Commission,
We kept our agreement while members
Of the National Association. Although
We were deserving of promotion three
years before the expiration of the Ma
tional Association agreement we kept
still in order that there might be no
dissension in organized baseball. You
know we deserve higher classification
We request Ii, and know that, in your
you will grant the request"
If the commission agrees then every
thing will be lovely; II not, then trouble
is likely. 1t Is known that Havenor has
a baseball lot in Chicago. Tebeau Is
ball in another National League city
Perhaps the magnates of the American
also plan to demand per-
mission to place teams in some of the
big league cities. Any way, as Mr.
Tebeau said in Louisville, the magnates
will be prepared to make certain re-
quests" after September, 1911.

Golfers Will Advocate
World Advisory Board

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-The new thing to-
day in the international golf tangle over
rules as to putters came in the form of
suggestion that Chicagoans will ad-
vance, one week hence, at the annual
meeting of the U. s. Association.
IT is that world advisory board to
st. Andrews committee be formed, with
one representative from each country
According to the scheme, Australia and
all ands where the sport is current
would be on the list.
Theoretically the idea is all right, but
from practical viewpoint 1t is worth
less, because it is unwieldly. 1t would
he impossible to gather the advisers
even once year, End communication
and discussion by mail would be next
to out of the question. Nevertheless, 1t
is understood Crafts Higgins. OF Chicago,
will present 1t in detail in the forthcom-
ing article.
However. 1t looks as IL plea viii be
put forward at Chicago for a real ad-
visorv board In this country, in place of
a one-man affair, with that member pro-
British In all his views and arbitrarily
named by st. andrews solely on account
Of that leaning.

Baseball Team
To Go to Ireland

BOSTON, Jan s.-Dan Howley, of
Weymouth, who gained his first base
ball experience with local semi-pr ofes-
sional clubs, and who for the past i've
seasons has been catcher for the In
dianapolis club, of the American Asso-
citation, is planning to take two base
ball teams TO Ireland next fall to tour
the Emerald Isle and play in the vari-
Gus cities there.
Howley has listed many players for
the trip, among whom are Hub" Hart,
of Everett, this year with Cleveland.
and Jack Hayden, the former right
fielder Of the Boston Americans.
Howley is>one Of the most promising
young ball players fro mthis district,
and, judging from his record with tie
Indianapolis club, will soon be assign
ed to place with the majors. He las
all the requirements for the position.
He is six feet in height, weighs 175
pounds, is twenty-five years of age. In
the recent official records of the Ameri-
can Association, Howley was the ;ead-
ing catcher in fielding, and his batting
was good.
1t was reported a month ago that the
club would shift HowIey to an Eastern
League club, and the Weymouth boy
would have been pleased II the deal
had gone through. However, Owner
Watkins, of Indianapolis, appointed
Jimmy Burke manager, and the con-
tract offered Howley called for consid-
erably more money than he formerly
received. Consequently he signed.
Howley is conditioning himself at the
Davis Clapp gymnasium. East Wey-
mouth. Six years ago he played with
Lovells. of Dorchester, strong semi
professional nine.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. e.-The following
pertinent telegram to the sporting
editor of a paper here is self-ex.

81. LOO1S, Jan. Cine following
pertinent telegram to the sporting
editor of a paper here is self-ex-
planatory.
1t comes from John McCloskey, ex-
manager of the Cardinals, who, is
now in Butte, Mont:
Judging from reports, I'm consid-
cred a candidate for manager of
the Browns. Hope this report is
not true.
"My experience with a tail-ender
taught me that the best manager
in the world could not build up
a winner under five years.
"When I accepted the management
of the Cardinals the Browns were
a winner, while I fell heir to poor
material, but left foundation for
q winner. Under no considera-
tion would I accept position as
manager of tail-end club in
either American or National
League.
"The new owners of the Browns
have my best wishes, and my ad-
vice to them would be to get
Harry Davis, of the Athletics, to
manage their club, and to employ
two frst-class scouts, like George
Huff and Arthur Irwin, and the
rest would be smooth sailing.

them. an ambidextrous event in which
the players will alternate in each frame,
rolling right and then left-handed. A

The Gray Wolves" (Selig). This
is a story of business life. Both here
and villain are what might be called
giants of the wheat pit. In the early
scenes they are rivals in love. The
villa is a bad loser and tries to ruin
the hero by "bearing" on the wheat
market. They and their adherents
come together on the floor of the pit
and the scene makes good picture
of the rush of such place. with its
excited faces, its hands waved in the

The Best Policy" Two brothers
love the same girl, the gay one is in
the lead as compared with the plod-
ding, hard working brother, but the
gay ones debts accumulate and he
must have money, so he steals from
his father, placing a few bills in the
brothers pocket. Here the girl in
tervenes and succeeds in running the
real thief down. The story would be
incomplete if she didn't marry the
plodder.
Mutt and Jeff in the Banking
Business" At last the two INSOFAR
ables, Mutt and Jeff, have struck it
rich, they have real money, and as is
often the case with people unaccus-
toned to hear the joyful jingling Of
vile metal, or feel the cold-warm touch

know what to do with their suddenly

the rescue of the maid condemned to
death for treachery and placed in a
canoe to be sent through the rapids
she is rescued by her lover in a sem

scenes and scenes of warlike prepar-
