PIN MEN COME OUT
Of ANNUAL SLEEP.
Cool Weather AWakenS Indoor
Sport-City Association
to Meet Tonight.

Bowling viii very shortly super
sede every other orm fof sport both
in and outdoor. 1t will require only
a few more Of the cool and refresh
ing evenings of the past few days
and the institution will be in full
swing. That the ensuing season Will
surpass every other in so far as local
history is concerned, of that there is
no doubt. as all the facilities attend
ant there upon have practically been
obtained.
Accepting the situation at its face
value the officials of the South Bend
Bowling association are making an
opportune start, and, have called a
meeting Of the representative Of
that organization TO be held at the
Elks Temple at 1880 o'clock, to-
night. The gathering will not be
confined 10 members of the assoc
citation but any bowler whether be-
longing 4 any league or club or not.
will be welcome 10 take part il the
event.
To Select New Officers.
As the South Bend Bowling as
ISOLATION is incorporated under the
state of Indiana it is necessary TO
comply with certain stipulations,
one which is a regular stated period
OF the election Of officers, which is
to take place at tonights meeting.
other matters of importance will
also be discussed, including the ar
rangements for the annual city
tournament, which must he held
before Jan. !. the registration of
all clubs and leagues and. if pos
sible TO increase the membership
of the organization.
Making an announcement for
the increasing of the mem bership
may sound as one of distress. But
this is erroneous. AT present the
association is comprised of 100
clubs. representing l. leagues. The
revenues obtained from these
sources have been sufficient 10 de-
fray the expenses of organizing, fill
ing papers of incorporation and
meeting other expenses necessary
in establishing itself and have
good balance on deposit in the bank.
In fact the South Bend Bowling
association would exist if it did not
make another collection during the
next five years, which shows that it
has grown sound financially in a
very short time.
Increase In EQuipmcnt
South Bend was pretty well equip
ped in the matter of bowling alleys
last year but this will materially in

with the overhauling of the old
drives will make one Of the largest
and most complete Adjustments
in the state Another new establish
ment is that Of the Eagles new
home. which will sport fine equip
ment. while Joe Werwinski is also
installing a new plant in the west
end of the city

ling establishments in South Bend,
