AMERICAN LEAGUE BOSSES
HOLD SCHEDULE MEETING
Interest Centers in Changes of
Rules Governing DISPOSE
ton of Recruits

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-With the mag
mates OF the American league, most OF
whom are accompanied by their man.
ayers, all present, the annual schedule
meeting was called into session by
President Ban Johnson at the Con-
gress hotel'today.
The adoption of the schedule ia
purely a formal matter as the playing
program OF two years ago was prac-
tioally agreed upon as the one TO be
followed this year There will be some
lively discussion as 10 changes in the
rules providing for the disposition Of
recruits who have been drafted and
are about to be returned to the min.
urs. The magnates will also exchange
opinions upon the proposal that waiv-
ers be secured from all clubs in the
two major leagues before a player
may be sent 10 the minors.
The keenest interest, however
seemed TO be over the matter of play
ers and the managers held numerous
conferences trying TO reach agree
ments for trades to strengthen their
respective teams.

Kind Who Won't Use
Parlor Tactics

Another one OF those popular bouts
is scheduled for the Windsor Athletic
club tonight. when Paul Sikora, OF De-
troit. and Chuck Larsen, OF Chicago,
meet in the eight-round final. The
bout is popular one, not because OF
the championship possibilities OF
either OF the men TO be engaged in II.
but because OF the style In which both
men scrap. which is the kind that
pleases the Windsor patrons.
Sikora is well known to Detroit and
Windsor fans. His fight across the
river last fall with Tommy Gary was
one OF the fastest and most interesting
scraps OF the year. There wasn't a

OUTSIDE PIN TOURNEY
Thirty-seyen Teams Are Now
Entered in the Congress
From Detroit
BRYSON FOR PRESIDENT
Indianapolis Man Is Favored by
Local Bowiers For
Reelection
BRYSoN FOR PRESIDENT

Detroit will be represented stronger
than ever before at an outside bowl
ing tournament when it's bowlers 90
TO Chicago. March 10, 10 attend the
American Bowling congress, at Chi
cago. Tbirty-seven fiye-man teams
are at present entered in the con-
gress and at least 25 of these are exa
pected TO bowl in Chicago.
The best showing made by the De-
troit Bowling association hitherto at
an outside tournament. was the 10
teams sent TO Buffalo last year. The
entries the year before then, when the
A. b. c. was held here, were, of
course, more numerous.
The Detroit bowlers will go TO Chi
cago with an ambition TO excel by
far the record made here two years
ago when the Cadillac five-man team
took sixth place. Tom Haley at that
time, smashed the worlds all-around
record in winning the indiyidul cham
pionship
The local contingent plan to leave
on special train over the Wabash
on the 10th. On st. Patricks day.
there will be a special Detroit day
at the congress. Over a hundred men
expect to take the trip.
The four Detroit delegates elected
last Sunday. will make strenuous eff
forts TO re-elect Bob Bryson, OF In.
dianapolis, president OF the congress.
The men chosen to represent Detroit
are Tom O'Connell, A. F. Wolfschlag-
q AN-n ND ri &1k
kiss, with DR.. Kerr, John Higgins.
William Miller, and DR.. W. G.. Fergu-
son, as alterantes.
The Detroit delegation Will favor
Bryson's reelection for>~the reason
that he has served the congress faith
fully as president for several years.
He is an active bowler himself, and
one OF the most substantial men In
the organization, as his position as
postmaster of Indianapolis would in
dictate.
Opposed to his candidacy are woos-
ter Lambert, of st. Louis: Judge How
ard, OF Chicago. and Robert Brown, or
Louisville. The st. Louis bowlers are
strong fer Lambert and think that
they have the Chicago delegation with
them.
Detroit bowlers are not intensely
interested in the dodo ball question

alleys but II is generally conceded
that II Is hardly to a mans advant-
age TO use the loaded spiller except
