CITY BOWLING
TOURNAMENT To
OPEN OCTOBER 8

Plans for a bowling tournament
to open at the Y. M. c. A. alleys
on October were made at a meet
ing of the bowlers of the city last
night at the Y. M. C. A.
Six teams are already lined UP
for the tournament, which is ex-
pected to last about month. This
tournament will be in the nature
of q preliminary to the regular Y
M. G. A. annual tournament which
will open later In the fall.
The six teams which will be in
the tournament will be the Santa
Fe shop team, the railway clerks
team. the forest service team, the
bankers team, the railway mail
clerks team and an independent
team. Each team in the tourna-
ment will play once with every
other team In the tournament.
In preparation for the tourna-
ment the Y. M. C. A. alleys have
been thoroughly planed this sum-
mer and are now in excellent
shape for playing. The alleys will
not be opened. however. until the
opening of the tournament on Oc-
tober 3.
Tentative plans were also laid at
the meeting last night for the Sc
lection of team of the best bowl
ers in Albuquerque which will be
able to travel to other cities for
matches. Owing to the high scores
made in many of the tournament
matches last winter, 1T is thought
that a team of world-beaters can
be found. One of the bowlers last
winter tipped over 6S1 pins in
three games, which is a score that
would have given him fourth place
in the national bowling congress
held in Buffalo. N. Y.

the X. Ga short right to the heart
in the third. CLANCY was dead to
the world.
Kilbane has fought quite a few
no decision battles, however. His
showing in those bouts generally
was a disappointment to the fans,
as Johnny was contented with out
pointing his man. Kilbane's reason
for doing this was that he wanted
to save his hahds--always brittle
and that the man who tries for a
knockout lays himself open if he
misses. Kilbane felt he didn't have
to take the chance. In other words,
Kilbane handled his title and his
fights from a business standpoint.
And he has made success finan-
cially of handling the crown and it's
income. He is the owner of many
properties and interested in several
concerns in his home town. He has
also financed boyhood friends in
ventures-withou asking ironclad
security or any returns from these
ventures-which shows that he has
not been misery.
