ALLEY ENTHUSIASTS
Bowling Moguls Meet Tomorrow
at Metropolitan Hotel to De-
eide Requirements. I

Tomorrow morning the annual A. c.
b. A. convention will be held In the
Metropolitan Hotel In this city.
Al a meeting OF the local chapter OF
the association held in the tournament
building. Sunday morning, c. J. Cros-
sey and George Isemann were chosen
delegate and alternate. respectively. to
represent the Capital in the delibera-
tions.
One OF the questions which has al
ready occasioned much discussion in
duckpin circles, namely the return to
the old pin and ball, will be taken up.
II Is considered highly probable by
those in close touch with bowling affairs
In this city, that the association will
adopt the larger pin at least, and pos
sioly the larger ball. although this may
meet with some opposition.
A general invitation to the bowling
public to attend the sessions of the con-
vention has been extended. Impartial
opinions as TO the style of pin most
likely to forward the best interests of
the same, are being solicited. Many
advocates of the duckpin game assert
that the action OF the association last
year In replacing the existing pins for
the smaller variety. has materially
lowered interest In this style OF rolling.
At 3:5 all twelve alleys will BE oc-
