err was reelected to manage the

'DODO BALL TO
Be ELIMINATED
American Bowling Congress
to Adopt New Rules on

FEW FREAK BALLS USED
ON TIE LOCAL ALLEYS

Wilmington bowlers are manifesting
much interest in the gossip about the
American Bowling Congress which
meets in Chicago i'm March. AT this
meeting new rules Will be formulated
in order to further increase the popu-
larity of this sport The "Dodo" ball
used frequently in tournaments will
come up for discussion and will In all
probability be eliminated, likewise the
loaded ball which is used more fire.
quently in the East
The "Dodo" ball does not have a
wide acquaintance in Wilmington, but
there have been loaded balls used in
matches. but they are owned by indi-
viduals, and are legal.
The "Dodo' ball is a composition
ball, weighing sixteen pounds, in use
mostly by Western bowlers of that
indoor game, American tenpins. IL is
made by joining together halves of
two composition balls, weighing, re-
spectively, eighteen and fourteen
pounds.

generally called. For getting the
bunch it is the king Of all strike
balls.
The star bowlers nowadays use
mostly the form of delivery known
as the "hook ball" OF curve, which, II
under proper control. will prove to be
nearly as effective as the freak balls
The straight delivery and the back

tournaments. the latter, particularly
being hard one TO throw, as It Is
a reverse of the hook ball.
The trend in bowling circles OF late
has been to abolish all freak balls

OUTLAWS
GROW BUSY
Leaders Say They Intend to
Grab Available Stars
Of Majors
BROWN SOUGHT AFTER
BY CHICAGO OWNERS

Organized baseball will have a big
battle on its hands during this year if
reports from different parts Of the
country be true. When William Abbot
Whitman sprung his "outlaw" league
several weeks ago and showed that
he has considerable financial backing
in a number of the larger Eastern and
several Western cities the action
threw a chill into the ranks of the ma
jor leagues. This circuit, il success
full, will grab up every available star
now under the protection of the Ma
tional Association.
The United States League has fired
the first gun along this line already.
William Nissen, who is backing the
proposed Chicago Club Of the new
league, has offered the management
of the Windy City team TO Mordecai
Brown, the wonderful pitcher of the
Chicago Cubs. II is quite likely that
the outlaw association is secretly at
work on deals for the acquisition OF
other big players.
Brown, the "Three-Fingered" finger
and wonder Of the National League,
is one of the most picturesque figures
in baseball. For years he was the one
great rival of Christy Mathewson and
now that "Matty'' has descended from
the throne he occupied so long may
even be a greater man than New
York's fallen gladiator. Always the
supremacy for the National League
pennant has been a hard struggle for
these two men. AS a rule for the past
seven years one has been on the. tor
OF the heap. In the league Matty has
the better record but now that he
suffered such an unmerciful drubbins
by Connie Mack's athletics last fal
Brown is considered the least worn oi
the two.
Up to the present time the thirC
major league has been a joke. II was
not believed that sufficient capita
could be secured TO make even a feeble
fight against the gigantic organization
of protected baseball The promoters
however, have persisted in the state
ment that they have unlimited capital
If this be true there may be some in
teresting happenings before mex
spring.
Organized baseball will probabi!
take immediate steps to curb the'move
ment This week the annual nationa
commission meeting will be held i
1 Chicago and some action on the "Out
laws" may be taken then. The squib
| BILE will be watched with interest b,
fans throughout the country.

that in the fall of 1912 owners OF
