BOWLERS' MEETING
SCHEDULED SUNDAY
Washington Duckpin AssocIa'
ton to Work Out Plans for
Tournament.

Organized bowling is to be given an
impetus Sunday morning at 10 O'Clock
at meeting of the Washington city
Duckpin Association at the Grand
Central alleys. President Jack VIII
liams has called the meeting IN or
der to have the annual election OF
officers and to determine whether or
not it is advisable to hold tournament
this year.
The past year has been decidedly
lean for league bowling" says VIII
liams, hardly ten leagues haVlns
been in operation, whereas in past
seasons anywhere from fifty to a
hundred we'll balanced organizations
have settled supremacy on the al
leys. But individual bowling has
gone on almost unhindered and ap-
parently unaffected by the war, and
for this reason we may make the
coming Championship tournament a
| one-c class affair; it would be ex-
tremely difficult to get data on
which we could give teams a classifi-
cation. This ought 10 be a. good way
to handle a tournament, as the aver
age bowler is just as likely to come
through with d big set in an affair
of this kind as the star performer"
Tommy George is being talked OF
as the next president of the associa-
ton. Others have suggested that Jack
Williams remain in Office. The elec-
tion of either man to the position
would insure competent leadership

TO HAVE TWO TEAMS.
War Tennis Players in Depart.
mental and Women's League.

The War Department Tennis Organi-
zation at a meeting yesterday, at which

the women's League of the District
this season.
Col. Chauncey Fenton, the champion
racketer of the Army. was elected
president of the War Department or
ganization; Col Walter *. Wilson. vice

tary- trea surer; Col. Kenneth Marsteiler,
team captain: E. c. Leech and j. A.
Thomas, assistants 10 team captain,

League, will be stronger than ever
before
All of the officers elected are players
of ability. Others who will be on the
team are Gen. Percy Bishop and Maj.
CoIfelt, who was numbered among the
leading racketers of Philadelphia.

ASK WAIVERS ON HERzOG
Braves Ready to Part With Star
Infelder and His $4,000
Contract.

II any one in the base ball busi-
ness wants to pay s2,5oo he can get
Charles Lincoln Herzog. former man
ager eff the Cincinnati Reds and cap
tain of the Giants and the Braves.
Waivers have been asked on the
Marylander.
There is no doubt that several
major league clubs would like to
have Buck, but they do not want to
assume the ten-thousand-dolla con-
tract he has with the Boston club.
Now, by asking waivers, the Braves
put the matter right up to the other
fifteen teams Should any one of
them figure Herzog valuable enough
to pay such a salary they will get
him for an Insignificant sum. How
ever, at this time, when salaries are
being butchered and rosters slashed
to twenty-one players, it is not at
all likely that any outfit will con-
sent to pay Herzeg $4,000 year.
The fact of the matter is that Buck
did not play UP to his usual form
last season. That might have been
the result of his failure to train
with the Braves, 1or ne df0 not sign
until the day of the opening of the
season. Still, HerZog might be willing
to compromise. He might agree to
play for less than $4,000 with some
other club. but that is entirely up
to him.
While several clubs might want
Herzog. only three-the Cubs, Giants
and Yanks-haye room for him and
could pay him. McGraw always has
liked Rerzog's work, and SO has Fred
Mitchell of the Cubs. It is UNDER
stood that McGraw insisted that Buck
not be sold or traded to the Bruins
when he made the deal that sent the
Marylander to the Braves
Herzog had not heard that waivers
had been asked upon him, but he was
not surprised. because he las not
heard from the Bostonian2, and it
was stated some time ago that
George Stallings had made up his
mind TO play Johnny Rawlings, the
former Fed. at the keystone sack.
Moreover, the decision to drop Her.
zog was responsible for the trade
which took Lena Black burne to Bos-
ton from the Reds. Stailings needed
an extra infelder, but Jimmy Smith,
who went from the Giants with Her
zog, evidently did not please him.

What's The Reason?

A Texas newspaper has the

ing. What will this lead to?
Easily answered.! An increase in
foreign business and a decrease
in local business with the home
merchants. Watch our prediction
that is if the home merchants do
not wake up"
A few days ago a representa-
tive of wellknown Chicago mail
order house, when addressing a
convention of advertising men,
declared that his firm made a
practice of scanning the country
papers, and made extraordinary
effort to get business in every
region where the local merchants
did not advertise freely. Not tc
advertise is to invite strenuous
mail order house competition.

Byron B. Burris Dead.

On Sunday at midnight Byron
B. Burris died, after less than a
weeks illness. Inflammation of
the stomach seemed to be the
trouble, but when the crisis of the
disease was passed, very weak
heart action made it impossible
for the patient to withstand the
strain and death followed very
closely upon what appeared to be
a marked improvement in his
condition.
Mr.. Burris built a commodious
home and located his family in
North Franklinton early in his
married life, having raised and
educated seven children here, six
of whom are still living, the eldest,
Mrs. Bradley. having died in her
Georgia home during the influenza
epidemic last winter; Mrs. P. E.,
Greenlaw, on Tenth avenue; and
Miss Belma Burris, who is in the
home assuming the care Of her
invalid mother, are the daughters.
The eldest son, Ralph, is with the
engineers in France; William
Burris in Norfolk, Va, with the
seaboard Supply Co.; Harvey
Burris in the Reserve Officers
Training Camp at Louisville, KY,
and Jesse Burris at Bogalusa;
Jesse being with his father at the
time of his death.
Mr.. Burris was sixty-one years
of age, and at the time of his TAX

Creary Lumber Co., yards. Be-
sides his wife and children, he is
survived by an aged mother, Mrs
