Opening of 1867 Season Which
Starts Next Month.

The annual meeting and election of

export.
Secretary-Hans Clemann, Rock Is
land.

years and felt that some other mem
Der of the league should take the re-
sponsibilities. Mr.. Clemann made a
competent secretary and his loss will
be keenly felt. The choosing of a
secretary to fill this vacancy was put
over to a future meeting. Commit
tees were named TO arrange for the
schedule for the coming season and to
revise the rules and bylaws Of the
league. Another committee was
named TO inspect the bowling alleys
The 1867 season will probably be
started the first week in October, con-
tinuing through to the latter part of
April. Eight teams will again be en-
tered, four from Rock Island, two
from Moline and two from Davenport
Last season Moline entered but one
team and Davenport had three. No
names have been selected for the var
ious clubs as yet. The captains have
been busy during the past week, lin
ing up the available bowling talent to
strengthen their teams The pennant
last season was won by the Edelweiss
club of Rock Island.
