set is high for the tournament and it
will be surprise il 1t is worse than
to tell just how well Gengler, Poehler

up big prizes in money and also many
others of various characters. The first
prize probably will be 500, with the

An attraction of the fve-ball tourna-
ment will be an exhibition by Johann
Gengler, probably the greatest all
round bowler in the country. An at
tempt will be made to have Gengler
remain over and show how he makes
various shots and the manner in which
he can manipulate the ball on fancy
plays. Paul Poehler of Boston, rated
as next best to Gengler, may be here
for a dual match with the Hoboken,
