ton tournament, TO be held IN Paterson
n. J., next March, a big success Is th'
enthusiastic support which the silk mer
OF that city are lending the promoters oi
the tourney. All Of the big textile firms
have not only taken big blocks Of stoch
and donated prizes Of their manufacture
but in addition they are organizing theiI
help into teams TO represent their plants
In active bowling.
The posters, which are TO be sent 70
every alley owner within a radius Of 5OC
miles from the silk City, have been fin
ished, and are a beautiful specimen OF
the printers art Entry blanks also are
ready for distribution. and may be had
with any other information desired, by
applying to John J. Fitzgerald, manager,
care Of board OF trade, Paterson, N J.
There will be a number of special prizes
for special classes OF bowlers, such as
teams representing the Elks, Knights OF
Columbus. Royal Arcanum, church and
fraternal leagues, consisting Of silk
dresses and high-grade shirts, which VIII
enable even a bowler OF but mediocre
ability TO come home with something TO
show for his trip. should be fail to land
any of the cash prizes.
Cash prizes will be distributed on the
following basis: Twenty-Five per cent OF
the ffve-men teams, 80 per cent Of the
two-men teams, and 50 per cent Of the
individual will receive their proportionate
share OF the prize money, as will the ten
highest men n the aIl-events.
Gold medals will also be awarded TO
the winners in the team, doubles. single,
and all-events.
Some OF the teams in the Northeastern
Duckpin League seem to be able to get
Just as big scores as formerly with the
rubber-banded pins. The Bills rolled a
set OF 1.6Os against the Easterns' set of
I,6S3, which is going some with any kind
OF pins. Campbell, of the Bills, collected
a total of SS5 with scores of IS, 12s, and
1l0, while his team mate, Du Busky,
totaled Just one pin less. with scores OF
1O3, I12. and l19. SaIb. for the Easterns,
carried or the nights honors with SSG,
topping Campbelrs big set by one pin,
while Van Ness came in a good fourth
with go. Here's hoping the fine work will
be kept up right along.
Well, what in the world do you think
OF the rsDeaters. the Carroll Institute
team, in the District League? Not salts
fed with taking two from the strong
Saengerbund quint on the opening night
OF the league on the Saengers' alleys.
they administered the same dose TO the
Germans last Wednesday. And just to
rub it in a little harder. they not only
hung up a new record for single game
with I,0I2, but also established a new
mark for the high-team set with $50.
From the way the Institute boys were
hitting 'em, their total should have
been even larger, but ! presume Pat
Walsh is satisfied with that nights work.
The first game just slipped away from
the CAROLS by a scant eighteen pins,
but the other two were never in doubt.
This iust about shelves the Saengers'
pennant aspirations for this season, un-
less some other team treats the Chamber
of Commerce five equally rudely. But a
lead OF six games, with only twenty
one more to bowl, will be pretty hard TO
ovcrcOme-in fact, impossible, IL one may
take Hammers word for it oughtnt TO
give the secret away, but the above is
the reason for that diversified. well-devel-
oped grin on G. G. HIS features.
The Chamber of Commerce once more
took the hapless Centrals into camp for
three games, making nine in a row the
leaders won from this team. As the
schedule calls for only three more games
between these clubs. EIker will try to
whip the Centrals into shape to at least
win one. II not two, games at their next
meeting.
Many bowIers in the Northeastern Duck
pin League are wondering what has hap
pened to their averages that appeared in
one Of the local pink sheets last Sunday.
These averages, published on January Z, |
show each team to have bowIed twenty |
one games, while three weeks previous, |
on December II, The Washington Herald |
published this leagues averages. when |
each team has already rolled thirty-nine |
games. Seems there is nothing like dig
ging up ''old stuh' to NIL up for want Of |
better. But the Northeastern |
ers weren't Rip Van Winkling a this |
time.
One OF the best games OF the season |
was the set between the Aggies and the |
Navy quints in the Departmental League, |
where the race for first honors is being !
contested by these two teams. Navy won |
the first game. but lost the second as well |
rs the third tussle. In the second game 1
the Aggies passed well beyond the Loo /
mark, the final count showing a total Of /
|, ,G31, the first 1000 game in the league, /
with four men on the team rolling over
100. German. with 2SS and Rose. with 2l2,
being the largest contributors to this \
leagues record game.
Here is something that will interest
Every duckpin bowler in the District. /
The Washington Herald will run a free
duckpin tournament, in which any one
nay enter. As there is no charge for
,ntry free, It is expected that. every
bowler Of the little pms will come and |
Try to win one of the medals hung up.
There viii be gold medals for the first
cams, silver ones for the second. and l
bronze for the third team in all events
cam doubles and singles Also a gold
medal will be offered for the highest
GORE made, as well as one for the best
otal In nine games. And the medals
ire dreams, believe me. The tournament
VIII be run on on Frank Sherman's
Royal Bowling alleys, which are eouIp-
'ed with pin-setters, thus assuring AMI
4 good and perfect" set-ups. But
ringers are barred, and morning
'lory'' teams will not be permitted 10
