A glum outlook swiftly is becoming
brighter as time approaches for ac-
ton in The Stars War Savings
Bowling Tournament, the qualifica-
ton round of which will be rolled
next week at all maple plants in
the Metropolitan Area.
From business angle the duck
pin game has struggled all season,
what with transportation difficulties
and an extreme shortage Of pinboys
Use of girls lately has gone a long
way toward alleviating the latter
trouble and bowlers who forsook the
game because of gas rationing now
are struggling back.
Alley men report distinct lift due
to the War Savings Tournament,
hailed everywhere as the closest ap-
proach possible to perfection in CIV
ing bowlers of every degree of skill
an equal opportunity to win many
and worthwhile prizes at little f1nan-
cial risk. The entry fee is only a
dollar and full handicaps are given.
League sets rolled next week will
constitute the qualification test, with
so per cent of the field at each alley
surviving for the final, to be rolled
during the Christmas holidays.
The much proposed plan to enter
leagues in body through deduc-
ton of entry fees from prize funds
is taking hold, much to the graft
fication of the Tournament Com
mittee and short-staffed alley men.
