Evening star., 1913-04-20

ton City Duckpin Association, Whlch Is
to be formally opened next Thursday
night, April -, at the Palace alleys, s14
E street northwest. and all signs point
| to the realization Of the most optimistic
| prophecy in connection with the affair.
An entry list equaling, if not SURPRISING,
the great showing of last year has been
filed with the board Of directors which
has charge of the event. and that a quail
| ity of duckpin shooting eclipsing any
thing ever seen on local alleys will be on
tap is freely predicted by those who are
acquainted with conditions In the little"
pin sport. The apathy which character
lied the bowling during the closing days
of the season has disappeared, and IN It's
place a keen interest in the tourney IS
evident on all sides. Many things con-
tributed to this state OF affairs. NOT the
least of these was the donation by Ine
Wa shington Star Newspaper Company IN
| the closing days of the entry period OF
six handsome gold medals, which are TO
be given to the men comprising the WIN.
ming doubles" in the three classes OF
the tourney. In past years meoa!s haVe
been given for best work done In the SIN
giles and in the al-events. but the two
man teams were not offered any such In
ducement. President George Cox has long
felt that the winners in this class were
entitled to some extra dlstinctlon, ana
appealed to The Star to fill their wan.
by offering some extra inducement LOT
superior work in that line OF endeaVor
The result was the contribution or the
six gold medals. which from advapce re-
ports are to be the finest ever oHereu
for bowling prowess in this city
AS an appreciation OF the great couf-
tesy and favor extended the participants
in the tourney, 1t was voted at fecenl
meeting Of the association to communl-
cate with Mr.. Rudolph kaunmann: man
aging editor of The Star, expressing It's
appreciation for the medals, and the fo!-
lowing letter was sent:
Mr.. Rudolph Kaufman,
Managing Editor, Washington Star:
my Dear Sir: Allow me to extend the
sincere and grateful thanks Of the entire
present roster of the Washington City
Duckpin Association for your very gen
erous proffer of six solid gold medals, to
be awarded to the champions IN the
doubles, classes A. and &.
'tFrom the enormous entry list and the
enthusiasm already manifested it is safe
to predict that this fourth annual car
niyal of the little-pin knights will eclipse
anything yet held in the District ana
will live forever in the memory of the
participants
'Gratefully yours,
GEORGE r. cox
President Washington City Duckpin As
sociation.
In addition to the medals given by The
Star, there will be medals for the winners
in the singles in the three classes and
medals for the ali-eyentS champions, as
we'll as the usual money prizes and other
special trophies.
The committee on classification and
schedules is bASily enga sed in framing
a complete schedule for the tournament
and expects to have it ready by Monday
Or Tuesday So great was the NUMBER
of entrants on the final night that II
was impossible to have the list out by
TODAY. as was hoped for by the commit
tee. The opening nights schedule. how
ever. arranged a week ago and published
above is authentic.
The following duckpin league digni-
tarles will offic.ate at the opening night
ceremonies: President j. T. Meaney of
the National Capital League on alley
No. l. Joe Costinett of the Arcade League
| on alley No. >, DR.. Shade of the District
League on alley No. 3, George 7. Cox,
president of the City Association. on
alley No A. j. c. Slye of the Depart
mental League on alley No D, and I. H.
Gurnee. president of the Commercial
League ON alley No. 6. These gentle
men Will throw the opening balls down
the respective alleys and thereby form-
! ally open the tourney.
Much speculation has been INDUCED in
the probable size of the purses in the
various events. and as to the scores
which will be necessary 10 bring nome
the bacon. Although the official num-
Der of entrants has not as yet been an
nounced, it is likely that it Will be
slightly in excess of that of last year.
| Figuring upon the basis Of last years
| prize winning totals, a good line upon
what will be required this year can be
obtained by glancing over those figures.
