BOWLING LEAGUE
IS MADE LARGER
VIII Increase Personnel of
Each Team From Three
to Five Players.

The following is the personnel of a
proposed bowling league which the
followers Of the wooden bottle sport
are endeayoring to make a reality at
the Arcade alleys:
Bears-M. f.. Cline, Breckenridge,
Weinecke, Parks, Burlington; Lions
Sooy. c. McKerren, b. McKerren, c.
Friend. Weinecke; Tigers-Ed Abbott,
II. r. Cline. Hance, Beardsley, Skin
ner; Wolyes-Ed Weinecke, Boiling,
Cadman, Wilson, Cole; Gorillas-
Gregory, Hurt, f. b. Cline, Perryman.
Syfert; Leopards-Pilcher. Gillette,
Finley, Ufferman, Lane.
There are probably half a dozen Of
the above mentioned who, for various
reasons, may not bowl, in which in
stance Macon, Hackathorn, Hughes,
Newlin, Hendren, Sigler, Martin, Web
Der, Stewart, King, Mccoy, Currler,
T. c. Wilson or McBirney will prob
ably take their places.
In placing the various men on these
teams the management has endeaY-
ored to make each team equally as
strong as the other, and 1t is generally
conceded that q more evenly matched
league could not be got together.
The following letter which has
been written by the management of
the alleys and mailed to the Leading
bowlers Of Tulsa is self explanatory
and explains fully the proposed new
league. If you are a bowler and your
name Is not recorded above, the man
agement Of the Arcade alleys would
appreciate having you make the fact
known to them, at 1t is not the inten-
ton to slight anyone.
Explains League.
Dear Sir: We are endeavorlns to
organize q real bowling league in
Tulsa ana knowing your %fondness for
the sport as well as your ability, we
would like very much to have you
become a member of one Of the teams.
In brief the plan is this:
TO organize six teams OF five men
each, bowling three nights n week,
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays,
however. by having six teams. each
team will bowl only one night each
week. 1t is proposed that the sched-
ule commence March 8 and May 8,
thus allowing each team to meet each
team two times.
Ii is also the plan to have each man
pay an entrance fee of 50, making a
total of $50, added to which the man
agement OF the alleys has agreed to
donate SO. Also it is proposed that
the losing team pay sixty cents per
man, instead OF fifty cents, ten cents
Of which goes into the aforesaid pot,
eauallng SIS, making a grand total
pot of SS5 to be divided as follows:
To first team $50, second team $40,
third team $3.50, team bowling high
est total number pins in any match
SlO, highest individual one game SIS,
highest total number pins by one man
IN any match IS, lowest average team
$3.50. Total $S5.
If you will call in and look the
teams over, | feel certain you will
bowl, for so far everyone seems to
think he is on the best team.
Yours truly.

Manager Arcade Alley

OKLAHOMA SIGNS
THOMPSON, FORNEY
This Completes the Lineup for the
Spring Training of the 1919
Season.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb, 81
Signed contracts have been received
from Frank Thompson and James
Forney by Secretary Duncan Of the
oklahoma City club Of the Western
association, and this completes the
lineup of the local team for the
spINng training of the 1915 season.
The two latest recruits are drawing
for the same pOsition-third baseman
and either one will fill the bill.
Forney Is from the west coast, while
Thompson is a known quantity, hay
Ing played on the team last season.
While at the end of the season he
slowed up a little, Secretary Duncan
is firmly OF the belief that he can
regain his Old-tlme vim and go right
ahead, At least he will be given
every opportunity to do this.
Secretary Duncan is going to do
the fair thing by the players in every
instance. In II or two cases he has
had to put the suspension mark on
Iluycrs-ThOmpSOn, who has just
signed a contract-being one of them.
but this was not done until there was
nothing else to do. Mr.. Duncan was
only acting according to the rules Of
the game, and 1t was not a personal
matter by any means. Speaking OF
Thompson, Secretary Duncan said he
was glad that the contract had been
received signed. Thompson had a
little setback last season, but 1 am
sure he Is going to make good. lie
Is n likeable fellow, popular with the
fans, and in all Il good player. l am
sure he will get In the game in good
shape"
Forney comes from the coast with
l. IAa Iona mad
work in the coast teams and there Is
every reason to believe that he Will
Keep up that record in an Oklahoma
climate.
