Pittsburgh, Pa. The two
days, Friday and Saturday,
April % and "a, 1854 will see
the staging of the Sth C. F. U,
Five Pin Tournament in Toron-
to, Ontario, with Lodge $50 OF
that city being the hosts.
With March 23rd the deadline
for entries it means that would
be tournament participants hao
better begin giving this sports
event some attention. Also being
that the tournament is consider
ed a national undertaking in the
eyes Of the Home Office, certain
and definite rulings will be ir
effect throughout.
Foremost the participating
bowlers must be members Of the
Croatian Fraternal Union, three
CD months prior to opening o1
the tournament. There is reason
enough for this, namely, the
Croatian Fraternal Union adds
to the cash prize kitty of this
tournament by making a cash
appropriation based on ten dol
lars per each five man miXec
team participating.
1t falls then that tournament
cash prizes should go to those
who have been members for al
least the small minimum OF
three months and not anyone
perhaps joining just prior the
tourney opener. The tournament
as you know is open to all mem
bers, in Canada or the United
States who come within the
tournament requirements.
Also in con- junction with Can
! adian Bowling Association ano
our own c. F. u. Five Pin Tour
namcnt rules, in tournament
play five-man mixed team car
include no more than two anC
not less than one female bowler
therein. In short a team of five
men, five boys in a Junior divi
sion team, would be ineligible
as would any other composite
of male and female, ie-thret
women and two males.
Only bowlers from the same
lodge or nest may enter or par
ticipate in five-man teams, il
doubles or mixed doubles events
The registry of tournament par
ticipants shall be checked will
the G.. f. U. Sports Educationa
Department for bona-fide C. F
U. membership and that alons
these lines.
This can only be done with {
, deadline for entries and not a.
heretofore when a large portion
of the entries came within Z.
hours prior to the tournamcn
starting hour. After seven pas
tournaments, We. feel that thi'
event take on the 'toga of {
national operator.
Beautiful C. f. U. awarded

1854 Canadian championship
! All-evcnts to both men and WON
en- claimants, where the entr,
fec is but $1.50, means that h,
or she must have competed il
five man-miXed cam, singles
doubles and mixed doubles play
Not to be overlooked is tn
Junior division Of this tourna
ment. Last year we had fiv'
teams of youngsters competin;
and that, as this year, on a five
man mixed team basis. With tn
Pittsburgh Home Office under
writing the bowling fees of tn
youngsters in this tournament
there is no reason why the 8tl
Five Pin Tournament should no
have more this year in JUNO
teams.
By "a ruling adopted Septem
ber IA, 1852, at a meeting O
the Ontario Five Pin Committe
and approved for tournamen
ruling by the c. F. U. Sports
Educational Dept, quote
Junior Order member may cnte
the Junior or Senior events. L
no instance may he or she b
allowed to bowl in both division
of the tournament.
This tournament, inasmuch a
! it comedies with the nationa
Duckpin Tournament held i
Pittsburgh, will have for tn
first time the presence of JUNO
Order Director Michael Crash
in an official capacity. If any
thing this should spur tourna
ment entries, especially anon
the Juniors.
