Before Doon Open at American Bowl
ing Congress Feb". 28 Nearly $15,000
Will, Have Been Expended Bowlers
Themselves Put Up Money. .
Few people have the slightest Idea
of bow much money is required to pre
pare for and conduct one of the annua!
tournaments of the American bowling
congress, such as will be held in De
troit during February and March.
Probably a few hundred only of the
many thousands oi bowlers scattered
in the different states could give any
idea of the finances required to make
this big winter sporting' event a suc
cess. To begin with, it will require" be
tween $7,000 and $8,000 to put in al
leys at the Wayne Gardens and pro
pare that place for the pin splllors.
The alleys' builders will have seventy
Dve expert niechaulcs for the better
part of the mouth doing this "Work.
During the last three mouths a con
stant stream of advertising matter has
beeu sent to every bowler within a
thousand miles of Detroit. All In nil,
the Detroit Howling Tournament com
pany will have spent somewhere be
tween $12,000 and $13,000 before the
doors are opened Feb. 20. Then there
will be thirty pin boys, thirty scorers
and a large crew of other workers em
ployed for the seventeen days which
the tournament will run, all of whom
must be paid good wages.
But this is only a start on what It
costs the bowlers of the country to
conduct the tournament
From present Indications the entry
list will reach 4.10 five-man teams,
coming from as far east as Montreal
and Brooklyn, on the south Mobile,
and Denver and St. Paul on the west
and northwest These men will spend
from $30,000 to $40,000 In railroad fare
and probably twice that amount while
in the city of Detroit, for bowlers are
liberal when out ou their annual Jaunt
from forty to fifty newspaper corre
spondents attend the annual tourna
ments and remain the entire three
weeks.
To the person who Is not a bowler It
seems almost incredible to state that
these enthusiasts do ail this to go
after cash prizes, and that their own
money.- The pot In Detroit will be
something like $30,000, and every cent
of this Is put up by the bowlers them
selves In entry fees. .
Detroit and Michigan have many
thousand bowlers who have been uu
able in the past to attend this big In
ternational event, so that state will
undoubtedly turn out large.
The low railroad rate made, one and
one-half fare for the round trip, will
greatly assist In Increasing the attend
ance In Detroit. Other cities that will
run special trains are Milwaukee, Lou
isville, St. Louis, Indianapolis and To
ronto. .
Washington and St. Paul both prom
ise to turn out the largest crowds thej
nave ever sent to an American bowl
lug congress tournament
From these facts and figures some
Idea can be formed of what it menus
to Detroit to have the tenth Interim-
national tournament, which opens Feb.
20 and closes March 15.
Detroit bowlers worked hard to land
this tournament, campaigning at St.
Louis and Cincinnati before being suc
cessful at Pittsburg last February;
also many Detroit bowlers have done
much pood and effective work during
the last few months to make the event
a success, raising money and creating
local enthusiasm as well as handling
the general preparations.
