WITH most leagues out of &C
W ton because of the holiday
season, coming house tournaments
are attracting the attention of local
tenpin splllers.
Saturday and Sunday, the ninth
annual individual Sweepstakes, :"
an event carrying guaranteed
$50 first place prize, is to be
staged at the st. Philip Alleys, 535
Eastern-av. The event, which is a
200 scratch handicap affair, has al
ways proved one of the most popu-
lar pin events of the season, and
Bill Sargent, manager of the alleys
looks forward to record entry in
the 1885 event.
Handicaps are figured according
to combined averages and four
games are rolled by each entrant.
Squads are scheduled at 3, 4:3O, 6,
1880 and Saturday afternoon and
evening, 10 and II Sunday morning
and at 1:3O, 3, 4:30, 6, 7:30, 9, and
1920 Sunday afternoon and eve
ming.
Entry fee is 81 a man, includ-
ing bowling charges. Further in
formation may be obtained from
Sargent at Cherry 1910.
OSCAR BEHRENS, manager of
" the Fountain Square Recrea-
ton Alleys, has announced that the
fifth annual fve-man handicap
tourney is to be held at the South
Side Alleys Saturday and Sunday,
Jan. 4 and 5.
Rules of this event will be similar
to those that have been carried out
in other team events during the sea-
son, but it will be a 1850 scratch
handicap affair instead of the 1000
scratch that has prevailed in other
Journeys. Entry fee is $40 a team,
bowling charge included, and no
entries will be accepted after mid
night Tuesday.
The Fountain event was the only
local alley tournament to pay $500
flrSt-place prize last season, and
with 81 teams already registered for
participation, Behrens expects this
amount will be at stake in the COM
ing event. A prize list will be post
ed on the bulletin board before the
start of the tournament and draw
ings for alleys will be held on deck
previous to the starting time of each
squad
Further details regarding the
popular affair may be obtained from
Behrens at Drexel 2150.
DOWLERS of the city again re-
- sponded to the annual Times
Clothe-a-Child movement. 90 chill
dren benefiting through the gener-
osity of various leagues and indivi-
dualS.
The latest loops to respond to the
yuletide fund were the st. Philip
No. l and No. 2 and the st. Philip
Ladies Leagues. The No. l and
circuits took care of two boys while
the feminine FASTENERS clothed one
girl.
JANUARY % and February II will
~ find the fourteen teams of the
indianapolis League getting in
plenty of strike and spare action. In
order to take care of Christmas and
New Years dates. the loop is sched-
uled to roll double-headers on those
nights.
Several other circuits that will
miss their weekly fling at the
naples during the holiday season
are expected to carry out the same
plan in order to get in their full
season schedules.
The recent international series
between Learbury Clothes of SYRIA
cuse, N. Y. and the Windsor
Bowling club of Montreal proved a
popular affair in the Canadian city.
Duck pins are still popular in Mon
treal but the recent match drew a
large gallery. Syracuse won the
series, which was staged by Nap
Dorval, proprietor of the Windsor
Bowling Hall, where the event was
held, and because of the popularity
o. the affair it is expected to be-
come an annual institution.
