All will be held in catch-as-catch-

written to grapplers and

seems to have been a doubt ms to
who we're the best. This Is the ques-
ton that will be determined this af-
ternoon and q large gathering will

Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-01-11

people are preparing to entertain the
bowlers or give them a golden oppor-
tunity to entertain themselves, and
the American bowling congress is pre-
pairing to see that all get a square
deal.
The tournament building Is n Of
the. largest in the country, and the
floor space is enormous.
Entries cover a large territory, hav-
Ing been received from Vancouver to
New York and from Montreal to Mo
bile.
To Try Out New Feature.
A new feature viii be tried out this
year.. In former tournaments, when
two full squads of Ave men teams
shot the night previous, It becnme nee
essary the next dag in order to take
care of the doubles and singles of all
members OF these Eve men sounds to
start bowling in some instances as
early as 7:30 a. m, and this has caused
considerable discomfort among the
bowiers SO early scheduled. There
hardly seemed any remedy for this,
but 1t has been found By Secretary
Abe Langtry, and he has had the I'LL
aois Bowling association. also tae Cal
cago Bowling association. try 1t out
for him In two tournaments since the
last national tournaments, and they
have found 1T worked to a charm.
How The Scheme Works.
The idea is to double up the fndi-
vidua1 squads and have them shoot
their individual entry In the same
manner as they would the doubles,
thereby having on the tournament al
leys at one time two squads OF indi-
vidua1 bowiers while heretofore there
was only one squad shooting. A great
deal of time has been lost with indi-
vfdual squads IN checking them In at
the paddock, and In addition to that
the greatest loss OF time was when
one bowler started to lag, either wait
ing for his bah or from fatigue, as the
pace set IN the individual event was
rather fast.
Now, to shoot the bowlers in double
squads viii give each man a short pc
ried of rest, which will not only work
to his advantage, but to the advantage
of the tournament secretary, and in
doing so 1t viii save about five min
utes to q squad. and when you figure
from twelve to fourteen squads daily
you will readily see a saving of n
hour and over and the starting of the
tournament that much later In the
evening. This is surely a great boon
TO the bowler who shoots the night
before, as he can snatch a few extra
winks and be satisfied. This he VIII
thank the American Bowling congress
for, and other tournaments viii surely
follow the lead within a year or two
when they see the advantage of the
system.

SOME FRESH DOPE =

To say the least 1t Is disappointing
that the City Basketball League
managers should become at odds
with Harry P. Fox over their de-
mands for free admission and for
the installation OF a shower bath in
the Auditorium. Since Mr.. Fox has
severed connections with the league,
it is understood the teams will not
even play exhibition games in the
Auditorium. The strike has certain
ly had its effect on local basketball
fans and unless there is, a speedy re-
vival interest may wane to such an
extent that future contests of this
sort wifi receive less patronage the
games have In the past.
