ment will classify contestants in
the forthcoming bowling battle at
the Arcadia. it was announced
yesterday by William E. Share,
chairman of the Tourney Com
mittee.
In the past the tournament was con-
Quoted from scratch, and, due to the

bility that a fourth division will be
added.

average of los or more during the pres

Those with averages of l04 or less will
be placed in class B. while those bowlers
with no league averages, except known
bowlers capable of competing in classes
A or B, will be assigned to class c.
If Is or more bowlers with ITO or bet
ter averages are entered. fourth class
will be added.
Trophies will be awarded to the win
ners of each class in addition to cash
prizes for the high sets and games IN
each division.
The feature trophy, the Fred Fraser
cup, which now is in possession OF the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
Post, again will be at stake. The Fraser
trophy will be awarded to the post hav-
ing the high six individual rollers.
