As il has not been possible to schedule
ell teams and individuals on the date
selected by them, many having neglected
to give more than one available date.
some slight complications are. bound TO
arise. and teams finding it impossible

Good Scores Sure.
While IT is impossible TO make any prs-
dictions as 10 what score will be made
10 win the medal offered for the high in
dividual game. it has been predicted by
many prominent duCkpin artists that the
l5O mark is likely to be passed, and it
would not be a surprise to see a game
of l6O or better land the medal
As it has generally been the case. or
very frequently so, the crack bowl
crs have failed. to come. up to expecta-
lions. and the average bowler is just as
liable to run it into a big game as the
star pinspiller with the little sticks.
In addition to the regnIAr gold, Silver.
and bronze medals offered by The Wash
ingtOn Herald, Manager Fletcher. of the
Brunswick -Balke-Collender COMPANY. has
just announced that his company will
donate three mineralite duckpin balls TO
the club making the highest single team
game. These balls are the best on the
market, and will be a prize that any
team will be proud of.
Manager Sherman has announced that
several firms have signified their inten-
ton Of donating valuable articles which
will be given as prizes to bowIers not
winning a medal.
This tournament promises TO excel any
