TOO early 10 announce the number Of
teams emit red or to ascertain the exact
bowling dstes Of the various entrants 1t
is evident however that some one has
fallen down in New York for the prom
ised fifty teams have not materialized.
A backward glance however, indicates
that the New York representation is no
smaller than usual When the first tour
nament was held at Atlantic City in 1907
there we're twenty-siX teams Twenty
fye visited Rochester in 1905 In Madison
Square Garden. 1909. there were 153 from

York and Brooklyn. combined, have had
however. that this year would see New
York on deck with fifty or even sixty.
Doubtless many more entries have been
made from New York since the number
o. teams that had sent in their entries
was last announced. 1t seems TO be the
habit Of many combinations 10 wait until
ne last moment to send in their names,
though by so doing they take their

the idea in some quarters that the alleys
re better worn toward the end Of the
hree weeks Of play.
