FAITHFUL rREADWELL
 DOG IS NO MORE

DOUGLAS, Jan. 2O.-"Rover," the faithful old dog that belonged to the Chrlstoe family for many years and
 made friends for himself of all the res idents of Douglas island, is no more. The poor old fellow was afflicted with Q growth on his neck. and to put him out of his misery and prevent anything from happening that might mar the memory of the animal, he was put to death. Rover" was only dog, but he was known and liked of all. Many passerby, attracted by his unfailing kindliness, stopped to pet him before proceeding on their way. He possess ed many traits that stamped him to be almost human in intelligence. For in. stance, when anyone would call at the Christoe home, if the knock was not promptly responded to, old "Rov- CT" would scurry around until he found member of the family whom he would bring to the visitor to bid him welcome. This was one of many things that served to make everybody the friend of the old dog that is dead.

ENTRY Is
EXPECTED TO ECLIPSE
ALL PREVIOUS YEARS
Provision Is Being Made to Include Saturdays in Schedule
Several Afternoons of Each Week Also Likely To Be
Required in Running Off Games.
By KIRK C. MILLER.

10 large an entry is anticipated
for the duckpin tournament which
opens at the Palace alleys on the
9th of this month, that the board of
governors is now considering the
abrogation Of the clause in the con-
stitution of the Washington City
duckpin Association which prohibits
the rolling of games in the annual
tournament on Saturday nights.
For the benefit of the house, it has
invariably been the custom in the
big series Of games to schedule
teams and individuals only on five
nights of the week, but the entry for
the coming tourney threatens to sur
pass any ever recorded before, and
in order to keep the event from con-
tinuing until interest may have a
chance to decrease, it has been sug-
gested that the Saturday dates be
embodied in the schedule which is
soon to be drawn up.
added TO this economy OF time. there
Is every proba that afternoons will
also be consumed in disposing of the
lengthy string of games which will be
scheduled, as this proposition is being
considered along with the one chang
ing the constitution TO include games
on Saturdays. The latter suggestion
was proposed in the form of motion
at wednesday nights meeting of the
association and the required six days
allowed for the abolishment of any sec
lion OF the bylaws is now being allow
ed to lapse The members of the board
have been notified that the motion was
rarried and a date for action on the
proposition of repeating section of the
hy-jaws will probably be set for next
Thursday night.
The only other business brought be-
fore Thursday nights session was that
of including such afternoons az may be
:.ecessary TO terminate the tournament
at an appropriate time. One month is
thought to be the longest period that
'Ae games should be allowed to run, as
"nthusiasm dies out when more time

schedule and rolling the game

belief that more than 100 five-men teams
will be seen on the alleys when the
fifth annual tournament gets under way.
4 proportionate number of singles and
doubles will also swell the entry and
lenethen the time to be used in rolling
off the contests. 1t is the singles and
doubles, with occasional five-men as
signments which are desired TO be
slated for two or three afternoons of
'he week which will see the tournament
under way. No special meeting is nee
