We have been requested to carry the

Tony Prio, through his winning the
individuals at Baltimore last year, en-
tered the Greater New York event this
year, and the showing he made has been
far from gratifying to his many friends.
1t seems the Wop star cannot get into
his former stride.
1t seems as though there is some dis
satisfaction being expressed among the
local oowlers at the way in which GER
tain officials of the local city associa-
ton are conducting their affairs. Not
long ago captain of one of our leading
teams strolled into the Palace in quest
of an entry blank. and was surprised to
learn that none was to be had. Seems
to US these blanks should have been in
the hands OF the bowlers long ago.
There sure is going to be some rare
doings around the Palace before long.
Pop" Meyers got on the job last night
with Messrs. Chase. Hunt, Meyers. and
other members of the city association.
Pop says he is out for fifty teams in
the coming tournament, and is going to
see that number entered. We're strong
for Pop" and always was; and any
thing we can do to help the good cause
along, count on US.
They all come back. Our old friend.

with us once more There is hardly a
man in the city who takes the interest
in the welfare of the game as the genial
little Irishman, and he could always be
counted upon to do his share in the
boosting line. Mickey holds the reputa-
ton Of being the best man on the foul
line ever seen in this city, his decisions
always being without prejudice.
the Palaces big tenpin tournament.
While the scores have not been up to the
standard of former years. the class Of
bowling put up by the local pin knights
has been Of q very high order. "Bnr'
Parker still leads the bunch for the high
qualifying prize with . total of 247 He
is closely pressed by Dutch" Fritz, the
Fat Men and Navy star, who has 23e9.
A couple of 240 games will put the Fat
Men bowler in first place. Eddie McKnew
is the tenth man, although there are sew
eral bowlers who have a chance of push
ing him out OF the honor roll, among
whom are Thomas, Hardie, Warner,
