RACINE PLANS GREAT TOURNEY
Many Cities Seeking to Entertain
1913 Tournament and Madison is
Well Liked by Leaders in Wiscon-
sin State Bowling Association.

Bowlers in cities throughout Wis
consln are beginning to wake up and
become interested in the great state
tournament to be held in Racine the
latter part of January and the early
part of February. Secretary Max Lau
OF Racine when seen short time ago
was very enthusiastic regarding the
tournament, and especially pleased with
reports that he has received from sew
eral up state cities, which are going
to have larger delegations than ever
at the blue ribbon event in the Belle.
city. At first it looked as though the
1918 Wisconsin state tournament would
go begging, but during the last ten
days the interest has so increased that
they have dubbed over in their en-
thuslasm to get an early start and are
out looking for support of Kenosha pin
knights to land the next tournament.
In an interview with prominent
Madison bowler, he stated that the
boWlers of the capital city were in
earnest regarding the boosting Of
Madison for the 1913 tournament and
that an organization was forming to
make red hot bid for the tournament.
Madison will have ten teams entered
at Racine. This will probably be the
largest entry outside of Racine and
Milwaukee and will carry considerable
weight with the bowlers. The Madi-
sonians point with pride to- the state
show they put ON the boards in 1907,
which they claim was one of the best
state tournaments ever held Today
Madison is one of the best bowling
cities in the country, boasting Of eight
bowling leagues. Without doubt
Madison also has some of, the best
bowlers in the state, including Johnny
McCarll, captain of the Handy Kids
and the SchEoegler brothers, who won
the two man event at Pittsburg in the
A. B. G. turnament with the best two
man total ever bowled in an A. B. G.
tournament. These two brothers, who
are wonderful bowlers, are hooked up
again this year in the doubles and are
already entered in the Racine tourna-
ment.
Madison could produce a good state
tournament for the Wisconsin howlers
but it is thought that, Milwaukee will
also be in the field to entertain the
boWlers in 1913. There is no doubt
| that Milwaukee would get the support
of Racine and Kenosha in the event
of her making a bid for the tourna-
ment. There is rumor to the effect
that Kenosha would like to entertain
| the bowlers in 1913 but the rumor is
unfounded for the simple reason that
Kenosha is hardly ready at this time
to undertake the handling of so large
ncsha has always given the tourna
ments good support and will send six
teams to the tournament in Racine this
year. began and Deffry, Eagles, Ke-
nos, Dawes Clothiers and one or two
others are preparing to send in their
entry blanks. No doubt the. Racine
tournament will be the best ever held
| in this state and Kenosha should sup
port it with as many teams as possible
owing to the fact that it will be some
time before they will have the oppor-
tunity to 60 to a tournament again
without losing any time from work.
Many of the local bowlers would find
it impossible to get away if they had
to be away for a couple of days but
if the entries are sent in early enough
arrangements could be made so as to
bowl all their games in the evening.
