From the size of the purses at the
National Bowling Association tourna-
| ment. now in progress at Rochester.
! said a prominent member of the local
| tenpin body, at is evident that the East
ern Bowling Association Is very close to
dissolution. w Qon the nFSC prize In a
| supposedly major bowling tourney can
not offer more than $3.50 to the winning
team in the ive-man events there is
not much class to the meet. Why, if a
local team went to Rochester and copied
| first place in the team event we would
not get our expense money back. Elimf-
| mating time lost from work, the $3.50
would return to the six men only about
$40 each. 1t is good thing, it occurs
to nae, that there were no Washington
entrants
