Two Teams and Delegation of Tournament Advo-
Gates Will Invade Philadelphia to Solicit Its
Entry in Big Event Here
BY KIRK c. MILLER.

For the dual purpose of engaging
in a fascinating tenpin series and
advertising the tenpin department
of the "three-way" tournament to
J be held here beginning April 3, two
big pin teams, the Royals and Iro-
quois, and a committee Of boosters
will go to Philadelphia tomorrow
night, where team from the Quak-
er City and one from New York will
be encountered.
Both missions OF the bowlers and
boosters will be earnestly pursued
as the best tenpin rollers of the
three cities have been named TO
compete and the boosting ability Of
the Washington pinners is we'll
known here and abroad. There is
some possibility of p. II. Moran or
William F. GUIDE accompanying the
party, and should either of these
gentlemen find it convenient to
lend their presence, the work of
the local delegation will be greatly
advanced.
Mr.. GUIDE was almost single hand
edly responsible for bringing the
1916 tournament to Washington
when he addressed a convention of
A. G. B. A. bowlers at Boston last
May, and should he find time to go
to Philadelphia he could no doubt
convince the Quakers of the inn
perative need of their entry in our
competition next April.
The procliyities of President p. T.
Moran as q drawing card" for Wash
lngton are quite as we'll known as those
OF Guide and one or both Of these men
night to a great extent.
Heading the WASHINGTON bowlers will
be the invincble Harry Krauss and his
| include Jimmy Fields. "Buck" Allison.
Frank McManamy, ]. e. Fritz and
Harry Waters. The Royals Will take
D. Walker. Edward s. McKnew. G. +.
Jacobsen and George Garrett. Harry
/ Stamford, chairman of the printing COM
mittee. and II. u. HALEY. assistant sec
retary. will make the trip In the interest
Rodier will represent the Latest News.
This committee will undoubtedly be
augmented by many other boosters be-
morrow afternoon at o'clock.
r. II. Lyons. OF Philadelphia. has
charge Of the entertainment of the
Washington and New York bowlers
while in the Quaker City and together
with Thomas G. Jones. Of the Phila-
delphia chapter of the A. g. y. A.. Is
expected to furnish interesting COM
I petition for the visiting bowlers. The
! "home teams" Will include such noted
Philadelphia pin spillers as William
Knox. the present city champion and
| only tsnpin bowler who has ever rum
up a score of 900 In a National tourna-
ment. This happened in Toledo when
the American Rowling Congress con-
vened there.
Charles Trucks, former Philadelphia
| city champion. Walter Cook, Bert Fra
! zier and Thomas G. Jones make up the
remainder Of the team:
/ A second Quaker City aggregation
which will embrace the best bowlers OF
the place viii e9nsst %,t Of GSp a. SFOsS Sicb
team has cut a wide figure in A. B. c.
and N. B. A. tournaments in the past
years: L. King. A. Hardy, ]. Guest. and
| A. Lake.
ing the line-ups OF its teams. 1t is
thought that many prominent business
men who are also bowlers VIII come
from the big city. Samuel Childs. OF the
Childs string Of restaurants; Mr.. Chick
ering and j. H. Williams. of the Ameri-
can Piano Company. and w. V. Thomp-
son. OF the Brunswick- Bake Collender
Company. all expert bowlers. are in
| cluded in the Gotham delegation. This
| trio may be made all the more for
midable by the addition Of Lee Johns
and John Roster. who never TOY" with
! the tenpins.
The Philadelphia bowlers and spec
| tators will be inculcated with the Dur-
pose of the A. c. b. A.. and they will
| be informed Of the elements which have
heretofore been identified with bowling
/ which the A. c. b. A. has tabooed and
| which are accepted by il al being re-
pugnant to the game.
| Philadelphia is named for the series
| tomorrow night because It Is the largest
| tenpin center in the Vicinity OF WASH
| inRton. and its chances for dragging
down a majority of the tenpin prize
| money is considered good. With a sub
| Stantial tenDln entry, II should at least
! win back its entrance money. as II will
have comparatively little opposition
from other sources.
