ONLY ONE CHANGE
AMONG FIRST TEN
Interest Growing in Stand Taken
by National Association on
the Business" Question.

The second and final week Of com.
petition In the championship tourns.
ment OF the National Bowling Assoc
citation began yesterday in the Grand
Central Palace with two-man games,
but the leading score, OF l ,232, made by
Arthur Walter and Joseph A. Smith. Of
Rutherford, y. j.. was not disturbed.
In fact, the besct Of the day was
1850. scored by c. Van Nostrand and
C. Lindsey, Of Newark, n. J. This was
good for seventh place. VI. Kline and
f. Klingmuller. Of Philadelphia, mus
tered 1.127, which, although IL did nos
gain a place among the first ten teams,
was not without its spectacular feature.
The pair went along fairly well in
the first two games, and then King
muller wound up with a string OF
strikes. He had a total Of POS in the
eighth frame, and needed to strike
out to obtain 265, which would have
been the highest single string OF the
tournament to date.
In the tenth frame, however, Killing"
made a fulton hit, leaving the SO
combination. and although he spared
IL was unavailing. In ether words, he
failed on his attempt TO strike at the
critical moment.
Other scores in the doubles were Sid
dali and Rider. Brooklyn, l,0ll; Dias
and Weeks, Ridgefeld Park, y. j.,
LOTT; De Wolfe and De Marco, Phila-
delphia, 996; Maschke and Wilcox,
Kidgefeld Park, y. j., 1874, and Jacobs
and Ross, Harrisburg, Penn, $50.
founders of the National Bowling AS
ISOLATION, was down to roll with Char
ley Rider in the doubles, but Paul j.
Siddall rolled as his substitute. Some
one was so kind as TO say that Cordes
was in Washington promoting other
interests, which remark was probably
caused by his activity in trying 70 re-
tain the business interests in the con-
troll of bowling.
A great deal Of comment favorable
to the National Bowling Association in
it's fight against business control was
heard yesterday, not only at the tour
nament, but in outside circles. Many
representative men who are not in
sympathy with the business propaganda
we're outspoken in their expression OF
disgust at some Of the conditions OBJ
tanning in open competition.
The keynote struck in Sundays con-
vention of the association uttering de-
fiance at the business interests was
heartily approved, and it speaks for
the drastic action which. in the minds
Of many authorities, soon will be taken
to divide the bowlers into professional
and amateur classes, as is done in
nearly all other lines of sport.
Individual bowling was continued up
to the time the fiye-man teams took
the alleys, and In the course Of the
late afternoon and early evening no
less than three men worked their way
into the first ten. c. w. Hummel, OF
Brooklyn, tailed 637. with scores OF
245, 100 and POP, getting fourth place.
Frederick Lindsey, Of Newark, care
through with 62S, having tallies of 1874,
224 and 2l0, the aggregate being good
for seventh. R. w. Hartley. of Phils-
delphia, had 626 and assumed eighth
position.
1t looked as if Hummel might 60
further 70 the front when he started.
In his first game he had a split in the
fourth frame, after having previously
turned a split into a spare. Still. the
pace set to date is pretty fast. and his
637 is nothing at all to regret.
Other high individual totals were:
S. Rodgers. Philadelphia. 6l5; Edward
Satterthwaite, Philadelphia. who with
Rogers as a partner won the two-mau
championship in 1909. 607; Charles
Rider, Brooklyn, COL, and George
Stamper, New York, $50. Samper had
252 in the first game. but fell TO l49
in the next, which completely ruined
his chances.
The Melrose Bowling Club OF The
Bronx made a noble attempt at the
lead in the five-man fixture. but could
muster only 1874, which, although it
was fine bowling, was good enough for
only third place. Meanwhile, the first
team of the Knights of Columbus Of
New York mustered 2,Sl3 pins, which
took sixth place. Thanks 10 the 22l and
go scores of Harold II. Horton in the
first two games, Melrose was able TO
gather 946 and 500 in those attempts.
In the final, however. Cooper's 1855 was
too much to carry, and the team could
do not better than 929, although there
were a thousand or more "in the wood. y
