POPULARITY OF STAR HEADPIN
TOURNAMENT IS IN EVIDENCE
BelleyiIle BowIers Will Have
Special Night for Them
selves October 10.
rs TEAMS ARE EXPECTED
Committee Plans TO Surpass
All Other Special
Nights.

Ample proof of the popularity of
The Star head pin bowling tourna
.ment is early in evidence. The Eve
ming Star announced the seventh an
nual renewal of the big competition
in yesterdays issue, and a working
program for the opening night, Mon
day, October 49, has already been
worked out by a number of active
Belleville citizens.
A committee, DESTROYS of having
"BeIleville Night the feature of the
opening of the tournament, applied
for and was granted the privilege of
having Monday, October 10, set aside
for the suburban teams
A committee has been appointed to
work out the details, made up of
Peter Deighan, chairman. Herman
Heustes and Peter Shines. 1t is pro-
posed to have twenty-five teams on
hand, and the bowling will be inau-
gurated at o'clock, or earlier, IL pos
sible.
Mayor LaFaucherie, of Bdlleville, is
to be at hand, and also a number of
other town officials. The aim of the
committee is to make this affair the
biggest special night that The Star
head-pin tournament ever had. 1t
goes without saying that to realize
such an ambition will mean that the
turnout Will have to be enormous, as,
during it's six seasons, the big compe-
tition has had some mighty strenuous
affairs tiit4s. A'hfN F.
The Belleville folk are arranging to
have big banquet after the bowling
has been wound up the opening, night,
and ii is expected that at least 100
will sit down to this affair
Bowlers who have rolled in previous
"a mi hxt
will be interested to learn that the
bowling during the coming tourna-
ment is TO be conducted on different
pair of alleys than has been the prac-
tice hitherto. On account of changes
at the Iroquois Academy ii was found
necessary to remove alleys No. / and
No. 2, which have been the "tourna-
ment alleys for good many sea-
sons.
Arrangements are being made, how
ever, to install as tournament alleys
another pair. Billy Huttenbach, the
manager of The Star head-pin tour
nament. has already had these alleys
planed and put in the best possible
condition. They will be found TO be
absolutely true, and all scores made
on them will be earned. That is to
say, the competitors are to be fur
nished with the proper tools The
alleys will be fair, the pins will be
strictly up to regulation In every re-
spect, and will be changed often
enough to insure absolutely fair and
even competition, and the rules of the
head-pin game will be strictly en-
forced by an official referee Every
body who rolls will have a fair chance
to get the watchfobs offered for high
score and at the cash team prizes
AS was stated yesterday, the prize
list is to remain exactly the same as
it was last season. There will be sill
yer watchfobs for those who have
scores of 100 but less than 10, and
gold watchfobs for those who have
scores of 10 or better. The bowler
who gets the highest score during the
season will be asked to bring his gold
fob back and The Star will have in
serted In it a handsome diamond.
This trophy will be emblematic of the
individual championship for the sea-
son.
The team prizes are to be $50 for
the quintet which makes the highest
total during the season; $25 for the
team which makes the next best
score, and $15 for the team making
the third best total.
Manager Huttenbach has provided
big set of rubber balls for those
who roll In The Star head-pin' tour
nament. This will increase the
