FOR BUSINESS HERE

A fat. slick advertourist is working
Daytona. His idea isn't original or
his methods new He is merely one
of the travelling schemers seeking to
get by on an advertising scheme" of
doubtful merit. What he wants is the
money and expects the merchants of
Daytona to pay the freight. AS bait
he proposes to put notice TO guests
in the rooms of the several hotels all
neatly framed and so attractive" that
the guests will Stav up nights reading
them OF course he can't expect to
perform what he promises, because
he hasn't any idea how many hotel
rooms there are in Daytona. 4 neat

MILWAUKEE Jan. %. The
spring u 1916 saw the greatest
bowling tournament ever held. when
756 teams assem- bled AT Toledo 90
battle the wooden soldiers for three
and one-half weeks, and 10 endeavOr
10 establish records that had been
made In the great game Of tenpins
during the past decade.
liz is the aim this year OF the off
Gals Of the American bowling con-
gress and the promoters az Grand
Rapids TO gather together a greater
assemblage of pin smashers than
were at Toledo last season. and from
the early Inquiries they feel conf
dent that the entry will be larger
than ever.
The bowlers last spring bowled
over 81 .OOO games and the total split
OF prize money was over $4,000.
which is the greatest athletic event
of the world. considering the num-
Der of contestants and the amount
of money and time that is taken 10
handle the tournament.
The Toledo promoters demon
strated that the tournamentcould be
handled at a slight cost. and that
the attractive power 10 bring visitors
10 the city where the tournament is
held was so great that the conven-
ton is acclaimed as one of the best
In the country.
Already forces are being lined up
20 battle at Grand Rapids for the
1918 event, and cities that already
have entertained the big bowling
show are again in the lead. Cincin-
natl gave the bowlers their greatest
tournament from social stand
point. in 1905. and the pin knights
are again anxious 90 invade the
queen City of the west.
Supporters of the game in Cincin-
natl are again trying to get Garry
Hermann to lead the bowlers and
hold another national championship
in 1918. as they realize that he is
one OF the greatest boosters and or
ganiZers the game has ever had and
they credit him with the gigantic
success of the 1908 affair. Ten years
later would seem to make quite a
difference in the bowling game. but
the same old crowd are following
the leagues and tournaments, and
the enthusiasm is only greater now.
The entry at Cincinnati nine years
ago was $50 teams, while if another
tournamen. was to be held at Yin
zinnati" the bcwlers would bank on
an entry Of 900 TO 200 teams
South Bend is also making a cam
paign for the tournament. and a big
noise is coming from Peoria and
BunaIo. both cities having had "A
bowling tournament during the past
FIVE or six years. and as both were
successful. why they can claim the
attention OF the bowlers for re-
turn engagement.
Some OF the greatest teams in the
country have already entered the
tournament at this early date and
the holiday dates are all filled. in
Guiding all the Saturday and sun
day engagements.
Grand Rapids has entered 200
teams. and with this as a founda-
ton the promoters feel jubilant that
they viii reach or pass the great
entry of one year ago.
Everything points TO a big show
and the bowIers OF the middle west
are now counting the days until the
tournament opens on March .. as il
is the red letter bowling tournament

PLAYERS MAY JOIN
GOMPERS' UNION
Federation and Fraternity
Heads Discuss Threatened
Baseball Strike.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA new
phase of the threatened strike of
the Baseball Players fraternity de-
veloped here late Monday when il
was learned that Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor. and Pres't David L.
Fultz of the players organization
had been in conference relative TO
the proposed action Of the frater-
nifty members in refusing 70 sign
1917 baseball contracts until such
time as the league magnates should
grant requests made by the players.
Gompers was located at a local
hotel just as he was leaving for
Washington. Upon being questioned
he admitted that he had been in
conference with Fultz several times
within the past few weeks and the
latest conversation occurred Mon
day When asked if the fraternity
was a member of the labor fedora
ton he replied: Not vet, but
soon"
Il have been in close touch" he
continued, with the officers of the
Baseball Players fraternity for some
little time now and while the play
ers' organization is not affiliated
with us yet. l am in full sympathy
with their requests and actions and
they have my moral support. I am
deeply interested in the welfare OF
the ball players and they will have
my support in any action that they
may see fit TO take in order to bet
ter existing conditions. This is all
that | care TO say at this time"
American to- Fight.
Pres't b. b. Johnson of the Amer
lean league arrived late Monday
from Chicago. being delayed by
heavy snow storm. He said he had
come to the city TO attend the meet
ing Of the schedule committee and
expected t. remain for several days.
The American league executive said
he did not care to talk about the
players proposed strike. but that
if il happened the American league
had enough players under contract
20 start the season and that others
would be secured TO fill any vacan-
cies that might exist.
II do not think" he said. chat
the players OF the major leagues will
carry their contentious so far as TO
strike, but if they do we will be
prepared to meet the emergency
and will go right on playing base
ball as usual
Il am Of the opinion that if the
major leagues do strike, it will be
a violation of the agreement made
with the fraternity at Cincinnati
several seasons ago and such action
will virtually cancel the committee
pact and absOlve the club owners
from the terms of that agreement"
Johnson also said that ne was not
i'm favor of the plan to divide the
proceeds of the players share of the
worlds series money among any ex-
cept the competing clubs players.
ITO the victors belong the spoils,"
was the way he put it. He did say,
however, that he thought the play
ers had been receiving too much
money for these series and that the
American league proposed TO rem
edy that by the rule providing
more than double the admission fee
for worlds series. thus reducing the
gate receipts and the amounts di-
vided between the players of the
winning and losing teams.
