ment since the war was held at
Providence, r. I.
The local operators also at their
meeting amended and made some
new rules for the major and new
minor District Leagues and &C
cepted franchises of teams in both
circuits.
Among the important changes
were to allow only bowlers with 115
averages or better TO roll in the
major loop. A new team limit was
set for the minor league with a
maximum of 585 and minimum
of $40. Another rule was clarified
to wit: Only two bowlers with
l23 or better averages who rolled
in the District League last sea-
son will be allowed on any one
team, but bowlers from other
leagues in this same category will
be eligible to roll with any team.
Franchises in the major loop
were given to Brookland, Colonial
Village. Greenway, Chevy Chase
Ice Palace, King Pin, Hi-Skor, Col
lege Park, Rosslyn and Clarendon.
Three teams are needed to COM
