BOWLERS HERE
Get READY FOR
CAPITAL MEET
Increased Activity on Local
Alleys Greatest in History Of
Indoor Sport.

With the proximity Of the closing
day of the A. B. C. tourney at Toledo,
and the nearness OF the opening day,
April IL, of the Indianapolis handicap
tourney, the number Of Richmond men
engaged in bowling activities Is In
crea sing as never before In the his
tory Of Twigg alley.
This increase In the popularity of
the sport is not accredited solely to
the two Journeys which have attracted
wide interest among all bowlers, but
is due to great extent to the physical
training which returned service men
feel they need. Each week sees some
new bowlers and some Of these are
making such rapid Roadway that they
will soon become some of the best
bowlers Of Richmond.
p. 8. Twigg announced Tuesday that
there were more new bowlcrs on the
alley than old ones. and the strange
part about 1t was the new bowlers
seem to be rapidly gaining the suprem-
acy over the old bowlers. In a game
bowled few days ago between some
of the veterans and some who were
new at the game, the latter over
whelmed the older men.
Richmond is practically sure of hav.
ing two teams in the bowling tourney
April II, and probably third will
enter.
Entries already received from out
Of town teams by the Central Alley
organization at Indianapolis promise
a successful meet. The entries now
made are South Bend, eighteen teams;
Terre Haute. ten teams; Fort Wayne.
twelve teams; Gary. eight teams;
Marion. six teams; Kokomo, six teams,
Anderson. four teams; Peru, two
teams; Hammond, one team.
Richmond, Princeton, Muncie, Shell
byville, New Albany. Michigan City.
Ligioner, Brazil. Goshen, Crawfords,
vile, Mishawaka, Elkhart. 3atesville
and others are still to be heard from.
1t is expected that the visiting team
entry will reach around the 100 mark.
The biggest tourney Of 1917 was
held at Fort Wayne when 165 teams
toppled the naples, all rolling high
average scores. This year interest In
the pin occupation has increased to
such an extent that the tourney re-
SUITS probably will surpass any records
previously made.
Although 1t does not bring quite as
many rams as some OtueT SpOTIS, par
Elephants in bowling Journeys may
number around the 1000 mark. At
Toledo there are more than 1000 men
competing for bowling honors and
every alley in the country has from
100 and more bowling followers.
In the City Handicap League here
twenty-one games have been played.
The present standing Of the league
shows the Haberdashers and Twiggs
tied for first place and the American
Seeders and Progress Hats tied for
second, while the Reliance has the
edge on the Firestones Of one game.
The league bowling season ends
April II.
Art King. who formerly made the
City high score on the Twigg alley OF
2Ss. leads the league bowlers with an
average Of 1877 pins in twenty-one
games. He toppled 1920 pins in the
twenty-one games. Erik, Slade, Lich-
tenfels, Youngfesh and Jones are
close contenders, making $50 and over
for individual average.
The standing of the league and in
dividual standing follows:

Masked Star Tuesday
Was Dave Bancroft
Ely N. e. BROWN.

Dave Bancroft, speedy shortstoI
with the Philadelphia Nationals for
several seasons, can fairly be called
the most unique holdout of the spring
season when the holdout chapter in
the years history is written.
Babe Ruth, Buck Weaver and 9th
ers held out for more salary. But
Dave has been holding out just to get
away from iladelphia-which might
be looked upon as a slam at the town.
perhaps.
Bancroft frankly stated early in the
spring that he would like to play
with Clark Griffith's crew Griffith
Of course, was more than willing.
And according to reports the Phillies
were content to let the deal go
through. At least waivers were ask.
ed on Bancroft. But Barney Drey-
fuss and one or two others couldn't
see letting Dave join the younger
league. So apparently Bancroft will
have to play with the Phillies or re-
tire.
Bancroft is one of the few players
Of the 1915 championship team still
with the Pills. He has been one of
he greatest drawing cards and biggest
stars on the team the past three sea-
sons. He joined the team in the
spring of 1915 as bush Lacquer. But
he loked so good that Pat Morgan
started him as the regular shortstop.
Some of the scribes who watched
his work that season gave the Port
land, Ore, recruit credit for raising
the team from mediocre team to a
pennant winning outfit believe, my
self, that he deserved heap of credit.
Bancroft is the player whose pic
ture we printed in the fiu-masked
player contest yesterday.

200 WILL TAKE
PART IN TRACK
TOURNEY HERE
Many Athletes Are Expected
to Enter Meeting at Earl
ham in May.

Continuation of fair weather has
started outdoor work in track and
baseball in earnest in all Indiana High
schools and colleges Both the Rich
mond High school and Earlham col
lege will place strong teams in the
classics this year. The High school
track meet, which will be held at Earl
ham college this year, promises to be
one Of the best ever staged at the To-
cal institution.
Earlham college officials are COM
pleting plans to make this track and
field meet one of the best and feel
certain that it will be great success.
Track and field meets promise to
flourish more this year because of the
increased prices in sporting goods for
baseball teams. The diamond sport
has been rapidly fading out in the
High schools for the last two years
and with the prices increasing, it may
mean Knockout blow for baseball.
A few High schools are organizing
mines, but are experiencing difficulty
in booking games because Of the scare
ity of teams. --
The annual track meet at Earlham
will be one of the biggest classics of
the year under the head of High
school sports and will bring into COM
petition some of the strongest teams
of the prep schools in the state. Full
ly 200 athletes are expected to par.
ticipate in the meet held at Earlham
May "a.
In order to insure the financial sue
cess of the track meet, arrangements
have been made to sell or pledge
enough season tickets at so cents
through the Richmond merchants,
High school students and college stu
dents A subcommittee composed OF
Ralph Nicholson, Cyril Pitts, and
Coach Ray B. Move has been appoint
ed to conduct the campaigns.
College track and field teams are
going through steady preliminary
training for the real schedules that
start next month. Already this year
several indoor meets and few out
door meets have been held but the
regular meeting of the colleges as
we'll as the High schools will start

Tore turned, smiled, ended last

and that the captain was his own
agent.
