The City Championship Tournament
among the tenpin rollers of the District
has all the stars Of the big pins entered
and Is bringing out remarkable rolling.
The winner OF this tournament un-
doubtedly will ba hailed as local king
OF tenpins, a title which sxas gained un-
der the best conditions that an event
Of this kind could be held. A tournament
which decides a winner on the result
OF a single evenings rolling or on three
evenings scores does not give every one
an equal chance. but when the compel
itors are pitted against one another for
several weeks and the total games rolled
reach around the century mark the
thought OF the winner being lucky Is to

city has not been arranged after such
rules and conditions as the present city
championship is being rolled OF course

pin roller who wishes could enter, but
limit to the competitors could be
placed to those who have an average Of
100 or over for twenty-five games in the
official standing OF any OF the local duck
pin leagues. II the number OF such en-
tries was too large for a tournament OF

doubt that should they roll in any of
the Northern cities they would also be
