BY JEHosEpHAT SPARE.

Gradually the pin knights are ge--
ting into their elements. A flock
or bowling leagues began their fall
schedules last week and another
crop Will break into the HmeHght
during the current week. And 30
certainly looks Ike an awful busy
winter for the boys and girls who are
interested IN welding the mierahte
balls against the wooden soldiers.
or the newcomers 90 inaugurate
= their fall schedules during the cur
rent week are the four leagues at
the Elks Temple. The Elks league
will start on Tuesday evening. the
Antiers league on Thursday and the
Temple league on Friday. Each Of
these organizations Is composed OF
six teams and their roOsters are
filled 20 capacity.
Two other established leagues viii
also try for favor, the West Side
and the Studebaker bodies. The for

Great Organization Spirit.
While there Is always a world OF
interest dominant at the beginning
OF the bowling season. most OF
which is conferred in their Individual
organization, this year appears to
have created concern over the gov
.erning body OF the great sport. All
% the old established organizations
have expressed their sentiments IN
afiliating with the South Bend Bowl
tnS association and Il IS hoped the
newcomers win be imtJed with the
same desire.
There IS more than local concern
about a thorough organization Of the
bowling forces. There are many
local players who want 10 have the
Indiana Bowling association hold
their annual tournament in this city
next spring and one OF the essentials
10 influence the directors Of that
body is to establish that this city is
thoroughly organized.
Not only should the bowlers be
interested IN holding this important
event in this city but the business
men as well. a state tournament
draws hundreds OF bowlers from all
parts OF the state. and. II only from
an advertising standpoint for the
cfey and its products. this event
should have the support and coop
Grafton OF tho entire citizenry.
Local BOwIcrs Show Well.
During the opening games OF the
many leagues during the past week
there was a considerable display Of
class and II that IS n criterion Of
what there - 20 expect when the
boys get their "supers" Well oiled
our boys ought to be reckoned with
when the officers OF the American
Bowling Congress make their annual
awards for record play.
The good play was not confined
TO any particular league but the
good scores were general, both In
dividuals and collectively. There
we're good 900 scores posted in City
league play by several clubs the
.pIay was OF a high order in the
Commercial league while in the
Singer league the boys spilled the
NAPLES indiscriminately.
As The News-Times IS interested
IN the welfare Of all wholesome
sport. we wish 10 give such support
to the great game OF bowling as
Is possible. We invite the officers
OF the various leagues In the city
70 furnish this office with the stand
ings OF their league and other in
formation OF interest. AS in the past
we will conduct our weekly Roll
OF Honor as we'll as other matters
OF interest and we ask the coop.
