W. V Thompson. known as the dean

of the local chapter of the Atlantic Coast
Bowling Association yesterday morning
and spoke briefly on the organization and
its aims Mr.. Thompson is practically
responsible for the existence of that body.
which seems destined 10 grow into the
largest organization of its kind. Said Mr.
Thompson:
1.-The principal object of the A. c. b. A.
is to formulate rules and regulations and
eo see that they are enforced. to encourage
and foster among its members and all
bowlers in general the spirit of good
fellowship. to maintain and increase the
interest in bowling.
Almost every man, woman and child
that bowie claims that bowling Is the
greatest of all indoor sports. Why not
make bowling the greatest Of all athletic
sports? This can be accomplished with
and support of the class of bowlers you
have interested. and who are now mem
bers of your local chapter, our success Is
assured.
ducements. Bowling is the most health
full, fascinating sport. one of the few
athletic games in which one can par
ticipate regardless of the weather. The
great majority who are employed dur
ing the day have no time for golf,
tennis Or other outdoor sports: their
only recreation is an indoor game.
"Yon Yonson of Minneapolis says
bowling is two Jumps ahead of any
other game. That is not enough; we
want more leeway and we are getting
it. thanks to your local chapter, which,
by the way. is the largest local chapter
in the A. G. B. A. We hope to have
every Washington bowler with US in
1917.
eff you will instruct your delegates
to support the amendment referring to
the division of the 1917 dues. your
local chapter will then he self-supporl-
ing. The 30 per cent of the dues will
then enable YOU to pull off an i'm
>mense local tournament prior to the
international event next season.
Il want to take this opportunity TO
thank President Rogers and all local
officials and the many others that have
assisted in putting Washington on the
bowling map. The visiting boWlers are
all under obligations to you for what
has been accomplished and for the eX-
cellent manner in which the tourna
ment has been handled. All have
greatly enjoyed their visit to this.
which is, i'll many respects, the worlds
greatest city.
Let us all remain united and start
now in boosting for next season and
the city and local chs pter that obtains
the 1917 convention and tournament"
