and the champions advisers have de-
cided to give him lot of work with
wrestlers so that he will not only be

flcient in this respect man Of his weight

material from McGraw with which to

On the Polo Grounds a high mound
was built and many pitchers. particu-
larly those of the American League,
had hard time doing effective work
on this mound. The American League
clubs play their games on these
grounds but they could not protest
because McGraw's team had the
grounds and the American League only
rented them.
It was on the Polo Grounds that
Walter Johnson always had a hard
time pitching. Being a side arm pitch
er, his motion would throw him off of
the mound. and naturally make him
wild. Overland pitchers on the other
hand. had a great advantage. Jim
Shaw, for instance. pitched remarkable
ball on the high mound.
According to the Tener ruling, the
infields in every ball park of the old
league will have to be Identical.
Roger Bresnahan seems to have good
prospects Of getting the Cleveland

The date for the closing of entries in
the Atlantic Coast Bowling Associa-
tons big bowling tournament is but
twenty-one days off. Three Of these
fall on Sunday. Washington bow1ers,
therefore. have but eighteen days left
in which to file their entries for enc Of
the biggest sporting events ever pulled
off in the National Capital.
Local bowling enthusiasts have tried
many times to bring bowling tourna-
ment to Washington. On one occasion
the Chamber of Commerce. at its own
expense. sent out team with inStruc
tons to invite the bowlers to this city.
1t was not until last year. however.
when a party of thirty bowlers headed
by W. f. Guide went to Boston and
persuaded the Atlantic Coast Bowling
Association to stage this years tourna-
ment in the National Capital.
Going to distant city to complete in a
bowling tournament is ordinarily an
expensive affair. Railroad fares are
high, hotel accommodate are costly
and time away from work is not only
a question of lost salary. but getting
away from the office at certain times
is almost an imposSibility.
Washington howlers will, of course.
have none of these difficulties to over
come. They can. if they care to, roll
in all three events-teams, doubles and
singles-at night. and the only expense
TO which they will be put is the en-
trance fee. Five dollars invested in
any of these events gives the bowler
a shot at the $4,000 prize list. Never
before has a Washington bowler had
an opportunity to compete in ma
tional affair of this kind at home. 1t
may be years before there will be an
other opportunity. And when the mag
nitude of the big bowling classic at the
old Census building. starting April 3,
fully dawns or the local pin knights,
those who fail to enter may regret it.
