toms bowlers to come forward with con-
tributions ii is the desire Of the finance
committee that the bowlers understand
that their contributions are sure to be
returned in their entirety. This Is
doubly assured should the Washington
teams be victorious. and should the side
bet go to Broekton. then the tariff from
the sale of seats is expected to be suf-
ficient to repay al. contributions.
Today subscription lists are being
started in every section OF the city.
Every bowler knows some prominent
bowler who has a subscription list, and
however small the contribution. 1t will
be found to be more than acceptable.
Starting with the contribution Of Cap
tain Farrow. the bowling editor Of The
Times will have charge of a fund which
he will try to make compare well with
those who are working with him: so
any of you who wish.to have your little
bit sent through The Times. may start

Before closing 1 should like to add
that the iron pin spoilers that are now

payment OF part of "A months rent and
the landlord refused to give up the de-
posit, claiming he was entitled to keep 1t
for breach OF covenant by the tenant.

cides that the deposit was made merely
to secure the payment of rent, the
minority. In an opinion written by Presid-
ing Justice 1ngraham, rule that the $4,000
was to be absolutely retained as damages
