cerned is q list of 1000 prizes. It is
by far the largest ever offered in a
bowling event excepting the national
championships of the American
Bowling Congress and the National
Duckpin Congress. It is one of the
largest prize lists ever put forth in
any competition.
With Washington teeming with
bowlers, Ebersole's prediction, he
believes, is conservative when the
conditions of the tournament are
considered. Here are the essential
points:
The entry fee is a lone dollar, with
top prize for men 5000 and for wom-
en-, $100. It's full handicap affair,
which assures equal opportunity for
all. Ebersole points out that 95 per
cent of the prizewinners in The Star
tournament come from the 'run-of-
mine" bowlers.
'It is significant" he points out,
"that the leagues from which the
largest numbers of bowlers enter
each year collect the greatest num-
ber of prizes. The significance lies
in the fact that the full handicap
system is a genuine equalizer"
Mems scratch is 1913 and the wom-
ems, 118, with the handicaps based
upon league averages. Only league
bowlers are eligible and only league
scores count. The entrants handi-
cap is based upon the average he
holds, at the time of participation,
in the league from which he enters.
He may participate as many times
as he bowls in a league match. but
each time paying the entry fee of 81.
Thus, with the tournament span
ming four weeks, each eligible will
have four cracks, at least, at the
whopping prize list. Those who
shoot in more than one league, will
have more chances to collect.

GOll ICpl CSCIAvea

alton, stated the most distressing
conservation problem today Is that
of declining waterfowl populations,
and presented the firts draft OF the
Federation's bill to remedy the situa-
ton with respect to breeding, rest
ing and feeding refugees, for the
consideration of those present.
Briefly, it proposed to use the un-
encountered and unappropriated
balance of more than s13,000,0CO
now in the Pittman-Robertson Fed
eral Aid Fund in five-year program
for rehabilitation of this great
natural resource One fifth OF this
fund would be made available each
year for the purchase of such refugees
by the Migratory Bird Conservation
Commission, same to be managed
by the Fish and Wildlife Service
with the cooperation of official fish
and game agencies of the several
States involved. Before being pre-
sented to Congress, the bill will be
scrutinized and possible amend
ments suggested by the various
groups in order to make it as fool
proof as possible. The observation
was made that if some concrete
program is not advanced to utilize
this backlog of $13,O00,000 for wild
life, the Congress, in its search for
!unobligated funds, well may turn
this money into the general fund of
the Treasury for other purposes
and it be lost forever to the sports
men, who have built it up by taxa
ton on their purchases of guns and
ammunition.
