ested IN tournament bowling. there
are some wonderful thing in store
for them during the current season.
The real thrill Of bowling Is found
IN tournament play and no one ap-
preciates 1t more than the fellow
who has had a look at IL. with the re
suit that If a fellow once had a
thrill OF connecting with a substan-
tial prize n a regular tournament.
he becomes a confirmed convict.
One Of the most attractive OF the
early season events is that OF the
Central States tournament, which
will be held this year at Columbus.
Ohio. The tournament begins Dec.
~ and the entries for the show
close on Nov. 30. This show is the
next best to the national tourna-
ment OF the American Bowling Con
gress, as the entry fee is $500 for
each event and when an individual
or team connects with a prize it will
mean something in return.
State Meeting Held Shortly.
An event in which local BOWERS
are intensely interested Is the meet
ing of the Indiana Bowling Associa-
ton. which will be held on the last
Sunday Of this month. At this meet

great deal Of effort 70 do this in the
event it is directed n the right d.

very rudiments Of ;he institution
that bowlers do not interest them
selves sufficiently in the political end
of the sport TO derive the benefits
therefrom.
PLAYERS Should study Game.
This situation reverts locally that
PLAYERS should by all means fami-
liarize themselves w.th the rules or
the game. which embraces the great
est scope of any sporting event in
the country today. During the cur
rent season there have been a num-
Der of tie games played in severai
leagues operating throughout tbs
city. Ard in each instance the play
ers have assumed the wrong course
TO break such ties.
The rules on this are very plain.
Nearly every LEAGUE n the city IS d
member Of the South Bend Bowlins
Association. affiliated with the
American Bowling Congress. Rule
