Mr.. Upson opened fire on the
abattoir target explaining that his
opposition to that particular bond
issue ran for all the others. To
him there was no difference be-
tween q slaughter house, which
pays for itself and o little sone-
thing to boot, and street, water,
and sewer improvements. He was
for the improvements but he was
opposed to paying for them by a
bond fotation. They should be
carried out over a period Of years
and paid for out OF current re-
ceipts. Mr.. Epson offered to the
committee an assorted lot Of what
he said were figures showing that

Doves and Mice

Doves and Mice
If the reader Of the preceding
paragraphs thinks they are slight
ly cuckoo he should have been
present ct the hearing. Having
read the editorial Nominations Of
Cohorter Stevenson against the
bond issues and heard the below
ings Of Political Purist Chairman
Epson In denunciation Of the city
administration for asking permits
sion to float them I horned into
the committee room expecting,
since the Powers Of Darkness
were involved, to witness what is
vulgarly known as a hell Of a
fight with the p. Of d. on the re-
ceiving end. I expected blood
galore and got nothing but o cold
In the head and an earache. The
whole thing was q sickening dis
appointment so far as the attack
Of the Cohorts, the Phalanxes, and
the Brigades was concerned. In
stead Of performing like warriors
conscious Of the justice Of their
cause they acted like milk-and-
water apologists for their very
presence before the committee. In
place of q binding expose Of the
high crimes and misdemeanors Of
the administration, an exciting
display OF virtuous anger from Bob
and Warren and Mike, and q lib"
eral hurting OF such reliable
epithets as thieves" robbers"
Cheats" and Glars" at the Mayor
and the Controller, the attackers
were as mild as cooling doves and
as harmless as mice.

A. B. C. Makes eliot Shot,
Just Another Bowler .

The A. B. G. tournament alleys
level off all participants. One who
might have very fine average on
his home alleys becomes just an
other bowler. There are only small
number of the country's outstanding
bowlers who continue to maintain
an average nearly approximating
their averages at their home alleys.
Quite number Of the so-called ex-
hibition bowlers must have partic-
ular alley finish upon which to do
their stuff. When these individuals
are permitted to practice certain
number Of games in order to find
the particular spot on which to
start their ball on each alley, they
can then make a creditable show

they must begin to count immediate

being allowed except one ball on
each alley without pins being set
up.
Quite a number of the so-called
"hot-shots" are practically scared
to death when they appear at the
A. b. G. tournament each year sim
ply because they realize that they
have no advantage. They do not
know the run" of the alleys, but
must go in cold and proceed to
knock down the brand new ten pins
which are spotted for each team.
Although alleys are resurfaced
each swelve months and all alleys
on which sanctioned league and
tournament games are boWled are
certified as to being, strictly regula-
ton so far as the specifications
are concerned. some bowling alley
proprietors, alley mechanics, resur.
facers and so-called sharpshooters
insist upon having alleys finished in
such manner as to enable them to
bowl hook ball that has terrific
power. and brings about excessive
or unnatural high scores that in the
end cause these particular individ.
uals to look ridiculous when they
bowl on alleys that are strictly flat;
carry the proper amount of shellac
and are correctly polished in accord
ance with the written rules and in
tent thereof.
This practice can be compared
with golfer who has been playing
on a so-called croquet course, and
then attempts to display his prof.
cheney on championship golf
course.
NOT IN THE BOX SCORE:
a T LEAST ten ballplayers who
performed on Cuban teams
last winter could make good in such
leagues as the International or the
American Association. Two or three
others would have excellent chances
of holding jobs in the majors. They
do not get chance because organ
lied baseball is almost as prudish,
as unenlightened and as selfish as
Joe Louis in the matter of drawing
color lines. R0rsemen who win
tered in California say that Santa
Anita has the country's best-con-
Quoted race meeting and that next
winter the minimum purse will be
$1,000. Lou ChiOzza's worst field
ing trouble is that he tries to
straighten up and aim before throw
ing. When he gets the ball away
quickly from any old stance, his
control is better and he looks more
like a Giant third baseman.
When the indoor season ends box
ing will have crossed more than
81, 0O0,O 900 in the New York metro
politan area. The Garden natu-
rally heads. the list in gross revenue
with st. Nicks and the Hippodrome
running neck and neck for second
position. This is the biggest sea-
son since the depression and pro-
motors are so enthusiastic that they
plan twelve outdoor clubs in addi-
ton to those operating in the Gar
den Bowl and the ball parks.

Bowling Official
as Guest Columnist
z raises 1897 Event

(Elmer II. Baumgarten occupies this
space this ,oeek as guest colunnist for
Hugh Bradley. He is secretary of the
american Bowling Congress held this
year in Ne,o York for the first time in
history and like all bowlers, thinks
there's no other sport like it,
BY ELMER H. BAUMGARTEN
TT SEEMS that Charlie Ebbets,
while in attendance at the 1906
A. B. @. tournament at Louisville,
KY, was so impressed with the tour
nament that it was his intention
to have the event awarded to New
York City. He said at the time that
If it was ever taken east of the
Allegheny mountains, it would never
be returned to the Mid-Western
states.
This display of enthusiasm was
misinterpreted by the bowlers Of
the Western and Mid-Western states
and, as a result, the tournament
never was permitted to 60 east of
Buffalo until the 1885 event was
held at Syracuse.
The Eastern bowlers made a re-
markable showing in organization
work, in patronizing the Syracuse
tournament, and living up to their
promise to return the tournament
to the West the next year many of
the leaders from the Western cities
supported New York City in its cam
paign to obtain the tournament for
this year.
The entry of 4,017 teams in this
years tournament must prove con-
clusively to all skeptics that the
Eastern seaboard is capable of en-
listing such an entry as to make any
future tournaments in the East at
tractive to the bowlers Of the United.
States and Canada.
We entered in this years tour
nament approximately $4,000 in
dividual bowlers some coming from
points as far as 5000 miles away.
The great majority Of these were
accompanied by their wives; many
by their entire families. The aver
age stay was four or five days, but
some remained in the city for two
weeks or more and, as a result, we
have been told that the American
Bowling Congress tournament and
convention is. the most valuable of
all conventions and gatherings mas
much as there was consistent flow
of business into the tournament city
over period of weeks.
