Object of Travellers
Two Teams and Delegation of Tournament Advo-
Gates Will Invade Philadelphia to Solicit Its
Entry in Big Event Here.
Bv KIRK C. MILLER.

For the dual purpose Of engaging
in fascinating tenpin series and
advertising the tenpin department
of the "three-way" toui nament to
be held here beginning April 3, two
big pin teams, the Royals and lro-
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 well
known here and abroad. There is
some possibility of ?. r. 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 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 i'm
perative need of their entry in our
competition next April.
The procliyities of President =. r.
Moran as g. drawing card for Wash
ington arc quite as we'll known as those
OF GUIDE and one or both Of these men
could enhance the work tomorrow
night to great extent.
Heading the WASHINGTON bowlers will
be the invincble Harry Krauss and his
include Jimmy Fields. BUCK Allison.
Frank McManamv, T. G. Fritz and
Harry Waters. The Royals Will take
their regular lne-up: Dick Barber. D.
Jacobsen and George Garrett. Harry
Standfcrd. chairman of the printing com
mttec. and II. y. HALEY. assistant sec
retary. will make the trip N the interest
Rodier will represent the Latest News.
This committee will undoubtedly be
augmented by many other boosters be-
fore the train leaves Union Station to-
+. II. Lyons. of Philadelphia, has
charge of the entertainment of the
Washington and New York bowlers
while in the Quaker City and together
delphia chapter of the A. e. r. A. is
expected to furnish interesting conf
petition for the visiting bowlers. The
, "home teams viii include such noted
Philadelphia pin spillers as William
Knox. the present city champion and
only tsslpin bowler who has ever run
| up a score Of 3rh In National tourna-
Inent. This happened in Toledo when
the American Rowling Congress con-
vened there.
Charles Trucks. former Philadelphia
city champion Walter Cook. Bert Fra

New York has been slow in announc-
| ing the line-ups Of its teams. 1t is

can 1'ldnO company. anu w '. loHlp-
son. OF the Brunswick Balke- -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 \. G. b. A.. and they will
be informed Of the elements which have
heretofore been identified with bowling
| which the A. {. b. a. has tabooed and
! which are accepted by it aS being re-
! pugnant 10 the game.
| Philadelphia is named for the series
| tomorrow night because 1t is the largest
| tenpin center in the vicinity Of Wash
| ington. and it's chances for draggine
| down a majority of the tenpin prize
| money is considered good With a sub
stantial tenpn entry. 1t should at least
! win back its entrance money. as 1t will
| have comparatively little opposition
| from other sources.
