The cleanup by the Chicago maple
f' eshers has again aroused the annual
ffcrfi agalnst the admittance OF Chicago
b. The tourney. Chicago had six teams
r. The tournament this year ana those
thirty howlcrs on those six teams COPIED
over twice as much OF the prize money
as ST. Louis, whose entry was eleven
teams, and Omaha whose entry was sixty
teams.
Most Of the Midwest pin tumbiers be-
ilrve Chicago should have entered fif-
teen or twenty teams in the tournament
50 large Is the city and so many are the
bowlerH there. But Chicago never sends
out over four. five or ak teams and
those teams are always bunch OF
sharks real money bowlers and not so
much men who roll for the sport. And
q tournament Il a sporting proposition.
not a moncy-making one.
Of the Chicagoans who were In the
tournament here the biggest number
< were alley men. men who make bowling
( business, Jimmy and I'D Biouln. Hank
< Marine. Mattey Faets, Glenn Fisher.
Nick Bruck and Dave Luby are all alley
men and II Is oniy natural they should
surpass the amateurs from the other
cities.
Some agitation has been on foot for
several years TO have Chicago excluded
from the tournament or at least de-
mand that the entry list be large enough
TO make up for the money carried away
BY the cracks. and II IL almost q sure
thing that some suggestion viii be made
70 this effect at the executive committee
meeting N
Personally the Chicago crew are a fine
bunch Of fellows and no objection Il
made to having them In the tournament
= only some other teams which do moi
boast a bunch OF money sharks are alns
entered.
