SHERMAN S PRICES

Proprietor Of Royal Cancels
Notice Of Increase Until
Alley Owners Take Action.
BY r. D. THOMAS.

Indications now are that the bowlers
for some time will continue to pay 10
cents a game instead of Is, or % for
two. as proposed by alley owners. 1t
seems that the latter, after hearing
considerable adverse comment by the
pinspillers, are not so taken up with
the matter. although. as has been the
case since the idea of increasing the
price was first brought forward, they
appear to have no definite decision In
mind Frank Sherman, proprietor of
the Royal, had planned to get the alley
owners together yesterday. but owing
to other business was unable to accom-
plish anything along these lines.
Notice has been posted for a week or
more at the Royal that the increase
would be effective today, but Sherman
said this morning that the original
price would remain until general action
Is taken by the alley owners.
All women bowlers interested in the
proposed duckpin league for the fair
sex should be on hand at the Palace
tonight at s o'clock. A meeting has
been called by George l.. Isemann and
Morris CafritZ, responsible for the Or
Ganization, at which officers will be
elected and a line obtained on the
teams.
Should the league be successfully or
ganized, Cafrltz will have four new
alleys installed on the second floor of
the Palace for the exclusive use of
women.
Another women's league is contem-
plated to be composed of representative
teams from the various alleys. This will
wait. however, until II Is seen how the
Palace League turns out II iss under
stood that an exceptional number of
women bowlers are interested In the
league expected to be formed tonight,
and should 1t be PVT through probably
will be the only organization of its kind
in this section of the country. There Is
a women's league here. which rolls at
the Arcade, but 1t boasts of only four
teams.
