Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-02-02

The closing of the entry list in the ten
pin tournament tomorrow night VIII mars
the first important step In what Will uh-
doubtedly prove the most successful down.
ing event ever staged in this city. oi'
every hand talk of the big tri-city tourney
takes precedence over all other matters
pertaining to the great indoor sport. ana
indications are that not only Will there
be a record number of participants, but
that the enthusiasm will be carried on to
the alleys, with a resultant high cahber
OF rolling. Baltimore has definitely de-
cided to enter twelve five-man teams,
while Richmond will send six. There are
already a large number of entries filed
with the secretary. but as has been the
case in the past, team CAPTAINS have been
dilatory and put off until the last day
sending in their lists. Failure to have the
complete entry in Secretary Fields hands
by midnight tomorrow means that the de-
linquents cannot enter. it being an ire
vocable rule that unless the entries are
filed by February they will be valueless.
AS this is to be the biggest and best ten
pin tourney ever held in the District. 1t
will be the bowlers loss if he fails to
enter in time.
Plans have been completed to transform
the Palace alleys into a verttable garden
spot, with PAINS and cut flowers In every
available nook and corner. Flags and
bunting will add to the pIcturesqueness OF
the scene. and the popular amusement
place will be in truly holiday garb. Presi-
dent Scott of the Baltimore CITY AssOcia-
lion and w. F. Hampe of the Baltimore
Sun will roll first balls down alleys and
q. with representatives of Richmond and
the local bodies performing similar
honor duty on adjoining alleys.
