Old and Young Entered.

All kinds Of players are entered in the
tournament. Men are registered with
practically no experience. Others who
will take part are among the most ca
pable duckpin performers in the United
States One doubles team is composed
Of players both of whom are around
seventy years of age. and a youngster
just thirteen years of age Is to show
what he can do.
Exact figures on the number Of in
dividuals slated to take part in the
event show that 967 men will take the
alleys at different times in the regular
part of the affair, and that there are
enough entries in the special events to
carry that figure well up to 1900. There
are some Implications in that number,
of course.
Besides working to boost the tourna-
mont generally, Jack Williams has been
digging up some dope on the past his
tory Of duckpin bowling. here. In talk
ing of the sport last night Jack said:
"In September. 1904, Harry Kfauss,
alleys Of the Palace. saw what hold
the small pins had on people of Barti-
more and he brought to Washington two
sets of the ducks to use as kind OF
experiment. Various players tried their
hands at duckpin bowling from then
until January, 1905. when the first real
match between two regularly organ
lied duckpin quints was rolled. One team
was made up OF employees OF the Govern
ment Printing Office and the other of
the composing room Of the Washington
Post, The same two teams rolled sew
eral matches until the G. P. o. dropped
out and left the Post Ave to compete
with the Toledos, LIE Droits, IroQuois,
Eurekas, Roches, Roseda1es, Orioles,
Columbia Title and other teams which
began to get the fever.
; District League First Formed.
1.-THE present District league was the
first duckpin league formed here, and
has since ita birth been recognized as
the best in the city. The National Cap
ital came into existence in 1903 and was
the next to enter the field. That was
the beginning, and since league after

American transports en- route for the

U-boats and that the casualty list so
far is 702 drowned.
At first flush the cunning OF this pro-
cedure Is not apparent and one might be
inclined to believe that II represents
mereley a wild report for which the Inn
perial Government has had nothing to
do and accepts no responsibility. But
officials here see much significance in
the fact that such a report Is circulated.
The Zeitunp Am Mittdg Is a news
paper in Berlin which sells like hot
cakes at noon. 1t Is managed by the
owner Of the ,MorDcnpost and has long
sought to specialize on American news.
due to the fact that its owner made an
extensive trip several years ago in the
United States.
The despatch from its correspondent
in a neutral country would therefore
attract immediate attention. especially
when he states his information Is taken
from American newspapers.
The belief here Is that the German
Government itself has had a hand in
the whole thing. The Government APP
pears to have inspired the neutral cor
respondent and to have worked in COL
fusion with the newspaper printing 1t.
BY this subtle process the Government
gets the effect it desires without taking
any responsibility.
or prime Importance at this time Is
the reason which inspires the Wilhelm
strasse to sink to such methods of des-
peration in order to keep up the spirits
OF the people. There Is undoubtedly a
risk in this form of propaganda, for /.
the German people learn that the report
is an absolute fabrication there is likely
to be something of an outburst against
those responsible for II.
1t would seem that the reason for these
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-08-25

methods lies in the increasingly critical
internal conditions in Germany Ad-
vices received in official circles here in

people has never perhaps been so low as
II Is at the present moment. The van

promised, has had most pronounced
effect Field Marshal Hindenburg's
famous slogan, I'VE have begun to move

In a manner similar to the run

side), feet back Of the front runner
then have another plank Of the same
