 The week of the Eastern Sweep stakes is at hand and preparations gre being made to make the affair the most successful bowling cer- ival since the 1880 national cham pionships. The sweepstakes, the first of it's kind to be held here.5 is based on total pin fall for Is games, rolled in three distinct Sessions, during which time the bowler rolls on l2 Gifferent alleys.
 Entries to the number of 60 are anticipated, and since about two thirds of the quota has been reached there is little doubt that tie entry will fall below that figure. The District of Columbia together with Maryland are sending the best tc vie with Massachusetts. Rhode Island and Connecticut. The New England entry naturally will out number the southern groups, but George Isemann, the national duck rin secretary, who rates the Easter sweepstakes as second in import ance only to the U. s. sweepstakes, ia taking care that Washington and Ba,timo~e will be strongly represent cd. Aside from the Washington Al. Stars. the group headed up by HOW ard Campbell it is the intention of Secretary Isemann to bring north two other full teams. One will be known as the Washington District ard the other as the Pale Dry Jun iors. They will arrive here so as to engage both Torrington Arcades and the Lawrence Mass teams ins special matches the day preceding the sweepstakes. The crack Washington team will consist of Jack Wahlen, national sweepstakes champion.

Eddie Espy, Hokie Smith and Johnnie Anderson. combination that looks equally as good as the team that opposed the Blue Rib- i.ons in Waterbury a couple of months back. The Washington D.s- tricts line up has not been settled but George Isemann is endeavoring to have Astor Clarke, Red Morgan, Bernie Frye, Henry Hiser. Glen ,yolslenhome, Red Magaw and Burt 2arson sign up for both his special team and the sweepstakes. So much for the southern invaders and here is what New England has to offer 'y way of defence.

 More Entries.
 TorringtOn have already listed patsey Alfano and Jack Otto and may add more. Wallingford with its flock of record breaking bowlers is expected to enter Hitchcock and Selemeski at least. for these two players are hitting as good as any 1ne in the state league to-day. With Danbury, Hartford. Westport. Bris' tol and Meriden still to hear from there should be no trouble in reach- ing the estimated entry of 60. Re- .gardless of the reputation that the Washington pinsters have, the odds are decidedly in favor of the Con- i.ecticut bow1ers. The locals are used to all Maple alleys and not the combination pine and maple that were practically responsible for the poor showing of the Connecticut teams at the national tournament.
 Then too the alleys to be used here will be dry polished which is a guarantee that the ball will stay on the alleys Many players on their return from Washington complained about the oil finish given the Con- rention Hall alleys. which rendered lh balls slippery and reduced con. trol to minimum. The fact that the sweepstakes alleys are kept in the shape they. are. Is q decided asset t1 the local entrants. A home field ir any Dport is a distinct advantage and Waterbury bowlers should re- :ognize this fact, and grasp the op- portunity. There Is at least 20 more tOxlers in Waterbury, and a like Lumher in Hartford and New ,A l. ven who should be on the firing line Bext Sunday.
