CONSIDER OTHER
FELLOW, IS PLEA
Committee Burdens Itself to
Make Stars Event More
Attractive.
BY r. d. THOMAS.

1.-THE schedule for the largest
singles tournament ever
held in Washington is
printed on this page today
1t will open at Convention Hall
the night after Christmas.
Those whose names are listed
are urged to note the alleys on
which they will shoot and the
time. Something of an expert
ment will be worked out in the
big pin party. The tournament
committee has taken upon itself a
heavy burden by listing four
squads a night instead of the
usual two and two bowlers to an
alley instead of five. This has
been done for the convenience
and additional enjoyment of the
bowler.
1t will be unnecessary for any
participant to give an entire eve
ming to the tournament and the
two or three instead of five bowl
ers to an alley will enable all to
shoot faster. Long waits between
frames to most bowlerS are irk-
some. Due to urgent request
dates it has been necessary in a
few instances to book five bowlers
to two alleys.
Women will roll three to an
alley, but will shoot only three
| games. They should finish in
about the same time as the men,
who will fire away for five strings.
The cross-over system will be en-
1 ployed. That is to say, a bowler will
| shoot first on the alley for which he IS
listed in the schedule and then alter
nate with his neighbor.
Have Other Engagements.
It is requested that all participants
| meet the tournament committee half
way, and report promptly on time.
Those in the $3.50 squad should bear in
mind that the fellow in the 7:45 group
will be kept waiting if any are tardy
taking their turns. Many of the en-
trants have made other engagements,
predicated on getting through with
their bowling at specified times.
The foul-line rule will be adhered to
strictly All rules of the Washington
City Duckpin Association and the Ma
tional Duckpin Bowling Congress will
prevail.
There is no occasion for the dub en-
trant to be embarrassed by low scores.
In this tournament he will have lots OF
company. 1nere are more green DOWl-
ers in The Stars second annual tourna-
ment than any other event in the
games history here without doubt. They
are more than welcome.
The prizes will be rich but the spirit
OF 1t all is sport Bowlers have been
paired wherever requested and wher-
ever it has been practicable. If dub
can beat out a pet rival he viii have
been rewarded for his effort in the
tournament even though he win no
prize. 1t will have cost him nothing
except the games fee. Much as it
has been advertised some entrant; are
under the impression still thst the
berry he or 60 cents she paid with the
entry was an entry fee. 'Twasfl't. That
paid all expenses.
Campbell Goes Crazy.
In the meantime the bowlers are
trying to dope the Washington Grand
Palace Valet Connecticut All Star
match. The first skirmish will take
place at Hartford next Saturday, and
the second at the Coliseum here on
January 4.
It should be brilliantly contested
series. Perhaps the most interesting
phase of it will be the singles, in which
Howard Campbell will oppose Jack
White.
In q recent workout at the Lucky
Strike Campbell totalled $50 for four
games. In succession he rolled 100, 160,
146 and 154. He averaged 147-3.
