Bowling Congress tournament
ext year, no matter where it
is going to be held,
eve are thinking of holding
city doubles and singles
tournament, and maybe a State
tournament during the fall.
Gas you know, until recently,
duckpins have not been very
popular in this State. While
the game is making great head
way there has never been any
effort to perfect an Organiza-
ton or to hold tournaments or
sweepstakes of any kind. How
ever, with your interest and
cooperation I sincerely believe
that Florida will be one of
the greatest duckpin States in
the union in the near future"

two alleys tonight at 8 o'clock in
the eighth annual National Duck

add interest to the spectacle by
calling it special match.

the famous Blue Ribbons, the

match. Both matches will take
place at Convention Hall.
The Blue Ribbons are leading by

confident they can overcome that
huge margin. The New England

The latest State to become fas-

than Florida, where baln.y weather
is perpetual. Duckpin alleys are
opening up in various cities of this

do not geJ off to a tagging start.
The pennant chances of the club
are bound to prosper or suffer in
direct ratio to the number OF
games played between today and
the opening of the season.
Walter Stewart is a victim OF
this atrocious weather. 1t was set
forth in the terms of his agree
ment with the club, that just as
soon as Stewart convinced Bucky
Harris that he was ready to pitch,
the club would assume his train
ing expenses. Through no fault
of his own, Stewart has been
unable to establish his fitness to
hurl winning ball, and therefore,
Harris can make no official recon-
mendatiol.s in his case.
Unjust rule
The rule under which Stewart
is working is one of the injuStices
of baseball. You will not find

ried along with the club, it should
be at the clubs expense. In my
conception of baseball funda-
mentals, there is no sentiment
among owners. A player without
talent is summary released.
Therefore, player with talent
should not be compelled to Shout
der the burden that Stewart IS
now shouldering.
And the foregoing statement
goes in spades when weather OF
the sort we have had lately is
the cause of his inability to
achieve condition. Stewart has
worked to the limit of his oppor.

the power of the club would be:
to declare him a member in full
rights and privileges.
Now here's the set-up today.

Whitehill will pitch three in

hill will be called upon to work
perhaps four innings, followed by
Burke and perhaps Linke. Then
it will be a case of working
Whitehill to a peak so that he
can open the season with Burke
j to follow him. Weaver is the
third pitcher, with Linke a pro-
visional fourth.
Hadley, Maybe
Whitehill, Burke, Weaver and
Linbe are the top quartet as
things stand. Maybe Hadley will
be as good as the loquacious Lee
Jensen insists he will be. Jensen
is som ething of a verbal machine
gun, however, and sprays words
around regardless. The rest of
the pitchers come higgedly pig
ge,dy. and you can pick them out
of the hat at the present moment.
If you take your baseball seriously
and what fan does not take his
baseball seriously-you can find
plenty of cause for viewing the
situation with alarm. You can't
win pennants sitting in hotel lob
bies taking on weight. You can't
play ball when a field is ankle
deep in mud.
Comparisons are ever odious-
or maybe odorouS-but we can't
help scanning comparative scores.
