Local Bowlers to
Make Plans for
Annual Tourney

Whether or not the Washington
Duckpin Association will stage it's
annual championship tournament
will be settled at a meeting to be
held Sunday morning, at 10 o'clock,
at the Grand Central alleys.
1t is generally believed that a
tournament would attract enough
entries to make IL a success, but it
would net contain the variety
which has marked former events Of
the association. Instead of five
man teams, doubles, and singles in
classes of A, b and c, as formerly,
tournament under present condi-
tions would be better with doubles
and singles in single class, 1t is
believed.
So few leagues have operated
this season that it would be difh-
cult TO classify bowlers in differ
ent grades according to their
known ability.
Although league competition has
been lacking this season in COM
parison with other years, as many
bowlers, il not more, have thronged
the alleys, and 1t can be concluded
that a fair percentage OF them
would enter a tournament.
Officers for next season will be
elected Sunday. Jack Williams
may be reelected president. but
Tommie George also is a likely
candidate.

POSTPONE FEDS
100000 SUIT
Defunct League Asks for
More Time to Prepare
Case to Bust Trust

New York. March 6.-President
John A Heydler. of the National
League, announced today that the
suit for 10000 damages brought by
the stockholders OF the Baltimore
club, of the defunct Federal League,
against organized baseball which was
to have been called before the Su-
preme Court in Washington next
Monday, had been postponed indefi-
nitely.
Heydler was advised OF the delay,
or stay. by George Wharton Pepper.
the celebrated Philadelphia attorney
who Is active as chief attorney for the
defense. At the time he communicated
with the National League executive
Pepper had not been advised of the
new date for the hearing.
The Baltimore people were quite dis
turbed when their suit came to a
showdown at Philadelphia two years
ago. Pepper. for organized baseball.
handled his class so skillfully that the
plaintiffs threw up the sponge before
all the evidence for the defense had
been presented. At the solicitation OF
the Baltimoreans the case was with
drawn from the Philadelphia court

at least. As a matter of fact, or
ganized baseball never has been very
apprehensive as to the ultimate is
sue Of the suit, even though the Fed
erals have threatened to show up
organized baseball as a gigantic trust
which operates in violation of the

is to be submitted is, of course, a
matter of pure, conjecture only 50
far as the defense is concerned
II can be stated authoritively. how
ever, that the postponement was
granted on the prayers of the prose-
cutiOn. Organized baseball was very
anxious to have the thing over with
as quickly as possible. 1t had gone
to a great deal of trouble and eX-
pense in the hope of a showdown be-
fore the clubs Of the major leagues
should be called upon to go South.
Pepper and Ben Minor. president OF

sci for the American League. were
confident they had prepared an unas-
sailable line of intrenchments TIE
HindenburG line was just a piker in
comparison in their belief Organized
baseball had absolutely nothing to
gain by delay. The fact that the
Federal Leaguers asked for time is
interpreted as an admission of weak
ness, especially when the fate of their
former suit is called to mind
