much claaa laat fal!, la another young
pitcher who demands recognition. Ha faced
several of tha American learua teama and
let them down with few hits and a mini

soma excellent material In Rube Zeller, the
beet pitcher In the Southern leasruo In 1307;
Roy Caatloton, a lefthander who devel
oped rapidly In Atlanta, where he was
sent laat spring by '.he New Tork mana
ger; Hughes, also a sterling product of the
Atlantic- league, together with Brockett
Bind Keefe, who pitched fair ball laat sea
on. In addition to thla array of talent,
the New Tork club haa Tift, a former col
leal an; Ira Plank, a brother of the cele
brated Philadelphia t trier of that name,
and several other boxmen.
Themaa la Not Missed.
In letting Ira Thomas go to the Detroit
thamptona Griffith aaya that he did not
weaken hla team In catching for he haa
four good backstopa In Kleinow, Blair,
Blckey and Sweeney. Kleinow Is a star
maskman when he Is In proper trim to
play. With certain Influences no longer
In the team Kleinow Is expected to catch
brilliant ball this year. When fit ha haa na
uperlor In the game, not even John Kllng,
tf the Chicago club, ao that he will not be
aked to do the bulk of the work behind
the tat Blair earned much praise last
Jail by hla quick action back of the plata.
Ua waa death on foul balls and threw
to baaea Ilka a shot. Me got a thorough
trial and filled the bill beyond the question
of a doubt. Rickey so far has been a fail
ure here, but he had a lama arm laat year
which waa a severe handicap. Griffith
Bays ha haa much confidence In him and
that time will develop the fact that Rickey
la not outclassed. Sweeney comes here
Irorn Atlanta with an excellent record. He
Is only 21 years old. but since ha broke Into
the game two years ago ha haa made rapid
trifles. He will get all the shew that Is
needed to prove his worth. It can be aeen,
therefore; that with Inflelder Bell and Out
fielder Ball aa extra men the team Is well
fortified tn all depeartments. ' ' Juat what
Griffith will accomplish ' with such a
wealth of material remains to be seen.'
1 Detroit stands' Fat, "
The Detrolts who won the 1907 pennant,
will take the field with practically we
same players. Hugh Jennings, the bust
ling manager, thlnka he haa braced up hla
catching . department with Thomaa se
cured from the New York, Americana. In
the world's series the Detrolts developed
unexpected weakness behind the bat, ao
! that Jennings Jumped at a chance to buy
the releaaa of Thomas, whose helpmatea
behind the plate will be Payne and
Schmidt. The pitchers will be Bill Dono
van, perhaps the best twirl er In the Amer
ican league Just now; Mullln, Kllllan,
Clever, Wlllet, Bummers snd several young
sters. Big Roesman Is a fixture on first
base with Bohaefer on second. Coughlln
on third and O'Leary at shortfleld, a for
midable combination. The outfield will be
looked after by Mclntyre, if his ankle does
not go back on him; Sam Crawford and the
phenomenal Ty Cobb, the league's cham
pion batainan and baserunner. . Jones find
Downs will be the utility men.
I Connie Mack will make another strong bid
fcfor the pennant, he says, with the Phila
delphia Athletics, fho were neok and neck
with the Detrolts up to the laat week of
the recent championship race. Mack haa a
owerful lot of pitchers In Bender, Dygert,
Plank, Ooombe, Vlckers and Waddell, who
all are In shape will not be replaced y
iiy of the young twlrlers that Mack haa
corralled alnce last season closed. - The
j catchers will be old reliable Schreckengost
and Doc Powers, both crackerjacks. Harry
Davis. a high claaa first baseman and hit
ter, Dan Murphy and Jimmy Collins will
J cover the bags, with Nichols, a coming
falar, at short field. Ed Collins, formerly
f of Columbia university, will be the extra
Ytnflelder If he does not replace his name
stake at third base. Hartsel, Oldring and
the corpulent Seybold will look after the
(outfield again, with Lord aa a aubstltute.
Cosalekey to Nat Worrying.
V President Comlakey of the Chicago White
Box has Just announced that Fielder Jones
will manage the team once more, which
means that the Sox will be factora In the
race at all stages. The Chicago team la
well fixed for pitcher with the great
Walsh, Doo White, Nick Alt rock, Frank
Smith, Patterson and others to draw from,
while behind the bat Billy Sullivan, one of
the finest catchers that ever put on a
mask, will do most of the work.
Com 1b key may decide to keep Bddle Mo
Iarland as Sullivan's helper If he cannot
trade the former to Boston for Catcher
Shaw. The Infield will doubtless be much
stronger that in previous years, with the
addition of Freddy Parent, the former
Boston star. Parent will probably play
shortstop, which will move the veteran
George Davis ovsr to second base. Dono
tiue, a hustler and a topnotcher in hla posi
tion, will cover first base as usual, with
! Tannehlll back on third base after a
long lay off due to Injuries. Robe, a clever
general player, will be the extra Inflelder.
In the outfield Pat Dougherty, Fielder
Jones and Hahn will hold forth again
- They cannot be excelled anywhere when all
departments of the game are taken Into
consideration. Comlskey has also secured
John Anderson, the big slugger, who got
liis release from the Washington club not
long ago. All In all the Box look decidedly
formidable with thla makeup and aa they
jars usually well handled they must surely
1 be reckoned wtth.

Lai
Flick, Delehanty and other fenrebrnakera
were members of the Quakera But In the
past thla sterling quality haa not availed
much because of unsteadiness tn fielding
and a general lack of team work. Lajoie
haa a fine lot of pitchers In Joes, Berger,
Ldebhardt, Thlelman, Hess and Bernhardt,
and three splendid catcher In Clark, Bemls
and Wakefield. But the Cleveland manager
la In a quandary about first base. Stovall,
who played the bag laat year, bad a per
sonal' altercation wtth Lajoie during the
season which caused soma Ill-feeling, with
the result that Lajola has been looking tn
rstn for a nsw man. If Stovall remains
with the team and agrees to forget the
past all will be well, but otherwise there
Is likely to be some friction. Lajoie will
play second base himself, And with Bradley
on third and the phenomenal Turner, at
shortstop these three positions will be com
petently filled. Hlnohman, an outfielder,
may go to first base as last resort. In
which event the outfield will be looked after
by Flick, Birmingham, Josh Clark or
Harry Bay.
Deaeon Jim's Problem.
Deacon James McGuire, who will manage
the Boston American, has nearly forty men
on his staff. From present Indications
McGuire will arrange hla Infield with Un-
glaub on first base, Laporte on second,
Wagner at short and Lord, a youngster
of much promise, on third." On paper this
combination does not look formidable
when the achievements of Ferris, Parent
and Collins In the past are recalled. But
MoGulre says Unglaub cannot be Improved
upon, while Laporte, who was a sterling
second baseman with the Buffalo ctub
before he waa drafted by the New York
Americana, will play a far better game
than ha did at first base tn thla city. Wag
ner is one of the coming shortstops of the
American league, his work last year being
so sensational that Parent waa driven to
tha bench. McGuire will probably put
Jack Thoney, Sullivan and Geealer In 'tha
outfield, with Parrett extra man. Thoney,
with Toronto last year, developed Into a
wonderful fast player, whose service
were In general demand before the Boston
club stepped In and got the prise. Sullivan
played regularly last year, while Geasler
comes from the minor leagues after a
previous experience with tha Brooklyn
and Chicago National league teams. It
the pitching department Boston has the
veterana Cy Toung and Jesse Tannehlll,
together with Winter, Morgan, Prultt
and a host of other twlrlers of unknown
ability. Crlger and 8haw will do most
of the catching, helped out by Carrigan.
MeAlaar la la Earnest.
James McAleer, manager of the St. Louis
Americans, saya his team will be in the
hunt at all stages of the race and declares
that he got the better of the recent deal
with Manager Griffith. MoAleer loses
Glade, but ha has a strong lot of pitchers
in Powell, Howell, Pelty, DIneen. and
Bailey.' His catchers are Spencer, Stephens
and Blue, all excellent men. McAleer says
he will play Arthur Brown, who waa with
Montreal last year, on first base, wtth
Ferris on second, Williams at third and
Wallace at short field. Joe Taeger will be
the extra Inflelder. If this combination
does not work Ferris may go to third,
with Williams on second. The outfielders
ars the heavy hitting George Stone, Hoff
man and Charley Jones, recently secured
from Washington for Pickering.
The Washington manager, Joe Cantlllon,
thinks he has a winning combination at
last, but few will agree with him. He will
play Freeman, a player from the west, at
first base; Jim Delehanty at second, Al
tlser at third and McBrlde at shortstop.
His outfielders are Ganley, Pigkertag and
Clymer. In the box Cantlllon has a atar
pltoher In Walter Johnson, with Hughes,
Patten, Falkenburg, Gehrlng and C. Smith
to help out. Jack Warner, Mike Kahoe
and Hayden are the catchers. This outfit
has already been consigned to the cellar.

BIO HACK IS MATCHES AGAIN
Rasalan Takes Oa Galllclaa Giant In
Losses,
LONDON, Jan. 11. As the sequel to his
victory over Padoubny, Zbysco has been
matched with Hackenschmtdt for 11,000 a
side, the wrestle to take place within six
months. The negotiations were completed
only after protracted discussion. For a
long time the parties could not agree as
to whsther the match should be con
tested In the Graeco-Roman or catch-
aa-catch-can style. Hackenachmldt con
tended that he had given up Graeco
Roman wrestling and that he never In
tended to meet the winner of the Zbysco-
Padoubny match In the style In which
that bout haa been contested. A com
promise was at length effected by Hack
enschmldt agreeing that Zbysco should
have alx months In which to practice
catch-aa-catch-can, and on that ; under
standing the men were matched to wrestle
the best of three pin falls, the data and
place to be fixed at a future meeting.
The agreement signed states that tha
match must bs finished In one night and
that fifteen minutes' rest be allowed be
tween each fall. The division of the gate
money will be aa agreed upon. It is
hoped the men will be able mutually te
select a referee. If not, one will be de
elded upon by the stakeholders.
After the meeting Hackenschmtdt staled
that he would resign the title of Graeco
Roman champion, and this honor was
claimed for Zbysco, who is now prepared
to meet within the next six months i
challenge for the title.
It is assumed that Hackenschmldt's da
clsion to wrestle Zbysco only at catch-aa-
catch-can waa actuated by a doubt as to
tha practicability of obtaining a hold on
the leviathan Gallctan within the limita
tions of Graeco-Roman.
Hackenachmldt haa been offered a purse
of $10,000 for a series of four exhibitions
in the United Btatea and a final bout
for tha world'a championship with Frank
Gotch, the American champion, and it Is
understood he haa accepted.
COAST WANTS WISCONSIN CEEW

CHICAGO, Jan. 11. -It ia reported that
tha Pacific coast rowing colleges Wash
ington, Stanford and California want to
tear Wisconsin away from Its allegiance
to tha east and form of the four a western
college regatta association. Washington
haa gone so far aa to send a letter to the
Badgers suggesting the schema and asking
whether It would be feasible, and whether
tha Wisconsin men would bo willing to
enter into such an agreement
There haa been serious talk about tha
chances of having a Pacific coast crew
row In the intercollegiate regatta at Pough
keepale, and It la known that last year
one of the orewa waa In communication
with tha board of stewards of the regatta
In order to find out on what terms a crew
from the far west could enter. It waa ad
vised then to wait until tha Pacific coast
regatta waa well established, and to aend
tha winning crew each year, If the win.
ners wanted to try their luck In the east.
Apparently from the move to get Wlscoa
sin rowing with ths three colleges further
west, tha coast crews have about 'given
up their original plan of visiting Pough-
keepsle. However, that Is not sure, be
cause if Wisconsin turns down the plan
and It Is generally thought that such will
be ths ease tha original schema still holds
good.

NED HANLAN AT COLUMBIA
Dead Oarsman Coached Four Vanity
Crews for New Toraen.
HAD ONE VERY SUCCESSFUL TEAS
Always Kooa la His Dislike for
Co-arrney of Cornell Oo of Hla
Stories of His Owa
Prowoaa.
NEW TOrVK, Jan. IS. When Ed
ward Hanlan, who died recently in
Toronto, waa a coach of the Columbia
crews he and Charles E. Courtney, the Cor
nell coach, used to have some merry argu
ments. Their disagreements dated back
to their single aculllng daya when the
Invincible Hanlan was beating them all.
Aa a coach Courtney seemed to have a
little tha edge on Hanlan. There waa al
ways the most intense and not .always
pleasant rivalry between these two men
when Hanlan waa Columbia's coach.
Tha first ysar that Hanlan was Identified
with rowing at Columbia waa 1800. He
cams there eleven days before the raoe at
Poughkeepsle, the New Torkera having
been handled more or less Inefficiently
through all the important part of the sea
son by Dr. Walter B. Peet, who resigned
on June 10 and was succeeded for nine
days by William A. Melkleham, an old Co
lumbia oar.
Naturally at the time when all the other
colleges were putting on merely the finish
ing touches Hanlan had to be working hard
and any one who knows rowing will realise
that it la impossible to do much with men
who have been treated under two other
systems of rowing in the few preceding
montha But the Columbia crew, from
worse than useless. Improved sufficiently
under Hanlan to be better than disgraced
In tha race.
The varsity crew at least beat out
Georgetown and was only four seconds
behind Cornell, which was third. At that
time In Intercollegiate rowing Pennsylvania
was supreme, and Hanlan's few days that
year with Columbia were followed by the
third successive victory for the Quakera.
Wisconsin was second. x
Mesaorablo Year tor Colombia.
The following year Hanlan waa all alone
In the management of the Columbia crews.
That waa a memorable year for the New
York oarsmen.
On the Hudson, with a strong tide off
their boat house, they covered four miles
under eighteen minutes, away tinder the
collegiate record for thla country of nine
teen minutes twenty-nine seconds. When
they got up to Poughkeepsle for their last
few .days before tho raoe, Hanlan, who al
ways waa accustomed to talking large
about his crews, said that they would win
and win aurely.
That riled Courtney, whose prestige had
been seriously affected by three defeats,
and he and Hanlan had aome interesting
verbal tilts.
Those who remember the sculling days of
the two men and the incident of Court
ney'a boat being sawed In two the night
before he was to have had a deciding race
with the Toronto sculler will be able to
Imagine how Courtney felt when Hanlan
said publlclyt
'Oh, Courtney, he had. no nerve as an
oarsman, but he could row pretty, That'a
the way his crews will be. My' follows
go Into a race thinking they can win the
way I used to."
Only a brief time before the race the
Columbia crew waa sent over tha Pough
keepsle course. The tide is not nearly
so strong there aa down near New Tork,
but when tha Columbia time waa an
nounced as 19 minutes and 4 aeconda un
der the record for that water Courtney
laughed at It.
"They never did If he said. "That's
one of Hanlon's bluffs. Why, any crew
that could do that has the race won
now." '
His 'words might have come true had
not Hanlan In the exuberance of his
spirits been tempted a little too far.
Hanlan's Confidence Justified.
A day before the regatta a party of
Columbia graduatea vialted the boat
house. It was 'in tha morning and warm,
but Hanlan said:
"This is a great crew. Wait a bit and
I'll show you what they can do."
He turned the men out and they rowed
for one mile In marvelous time. It was
a fine exhibition, but tha harm waa done.
If they had had tha following day the
energy they burned up there Columbia
might have won.
It waa the beat raoe that year 1901
that waa ever held on the Hudson, out
side of last year'a marvelous tussle be
tween Cornell and another Columbia
crew, coached on that occasion by one
of Hanlan's pupils, Jim Rice. Cornell,
Columbia and Wisconsin came to the
three-mile marked lapped, but Cornell
worked away and won.
Cornell's time was It minutes 68 ft sec
onds, something under the race record.
Columbia was B seconds behind. So that
It appeared .very plainly that Hanlan had
the goods.
Success made the old man careless, and.
although his crew waa third the next
year, In 103, perhapa becauss of bad
Judgment on the part of tho atroke oar,
it waa abolutely last. Columbia is for a
winner, but against a loser, and so Han
lan dropped out of Columbia rowing.
Himself fond of ale and beer, he never
denied them to hia men In training, and
there waa much talk of his laxity in
that respect He himself defended his
position by saying: "I was able to win
no matter what I ate and drank. Why
anouldn t these boys do the same?"
He was fond of pointing all morals and
tales with personal reference and alwaya
instanced hla own prowess as typical of
what ought to be expected of all college
oarsmen. He had aome tall stories with
which ha regaled the Columbia oarsmen.
One of his favorites waa about a sculling
race in which he rowed with a man of
great ability, only less great than his own
naturally. , (
One of His Biff Btorlea.
"I aald to this fellow before we started.
Hanlan would aay, "that I'd atop and
wait ror mm ir he got too far behind.
Well, do you know I got so Interested
In ths race I forgot all about him until
I got to tha turn and then I remem
bered."
"Thinks I, I'm a bit hungry and thirsty.
Then I remembered I put a couple of sand
wiches and a bottle of wins tn the boat
before I started and I got one of the sand
wiches and ate It there while I waited at
tha stake.
"Well, after a while along comes this
fellow all hot and puffing and I 'said:
'Stop a bit and have a bite.' 'No,' aaya he
kind of short. 'Well, then, have a drink,'
I aald, offering him the bottle.
"He wouldn't have that either. He spiked
and went on rowing away and I aat there
and finished my food and drink. Then I
took after htm and I forget Just how far
I beat htm."
That extraordinary tale had soma modi
oum of truth tn It, because Hanlan In his
best days oould afford to give most of them
a big start
Ha rarely If ever had a kind word to aay
for Courtney and appeared to dislike tha
Cornell coach mora aa yeara went on. It
waa a source of chagrin to him that his
Columbia crews never beat a Cornell crew.
Whatever conclusions may be drawn from
tha brief descriptlpn of Hsnlaa waya at
Columbia, ha waa very popular there,
Boiimtlmc-s profsne aa a coach, he Justified
that by saying thst the boys ought to
respect anyone who was so much better
st the game they were trying than he was
himself.
He used to get out In pair oared bests
with the men for tubbing. Any man who
oould put hlra around had a chance to
make the crew, and Hanlan, despite bis
Indulgence In prslse of himself, waa a
powerful oar all his days. It waa his lsxlty
of habit .that helped to coot him his place,
but Hanlan alwaya wilt be remembered by
a group of Columbia oarsmen and others
who came In contact with him as a bluff,
hale fellow, game to the core and Just the
blustering, gingery type of man that Co
lumbia oarsmen needed to have over them.
Charley Nelser, Steve Nash, Hal Town-
send, Willow Weekea, Maxy Stevenson,
Pete Jackson, Bob Bartholomew and Fred
Irvine are Columbia oarsmen wbo will re
member Hanlan with feelings of sorrow
at his passing out. It will come aa a hard
blow to Jim Rice, the present Columbia
coach, who was one of his most Intimate
friends. It waa only recently that Robert
C. Bands, Dr. Peet and Rice were planning
a reunion with Hanlan.
FRENCH BILLIARD EXPERTS
Two ' Ce tnlna from Porta to Try for
Championship Held ta
America,
NEW TORK, Jan. ll.-Wlth the avowed
intention of carrying the world's billiard
championships of the divisions they repre
sent back to France, two noted French cue
artists, Cassegnlol, the professional title
holder, and Rerolle, the beet of the foreign
amateurs, will Invade this country in the
spring, and by their presence add interest
to what already promises to be a great
season. ,
Americans returning from abroad de
clare that Cassegnlol Is not only the great
est bllllardist now before the French public,
but one of the beat ever developed on the
other side of the Atlantic. He proposes
to take on the best American professionals
one after another until he is In a position
to challenge for the title.
Rerolle Is coming over principally to take
part in the international amateur cham
pionship, but tn a letter to the Brunswlck-Balke-COIlender
company declares that he
would like to play exhibitions at the 18.3
balk line game with the most prominent
of the American amateurs.
The first two big billiard coptests of the
seaaon are to be played in tha east. They
are both championship contests and are
arousing unusual Interest In billiard circles.
The first of these will be played In Phila
delphia on January 23, when Albert Cutler
of Boston will try to wrest the 18.1 balk
line championship from Jacob Schaefer.
The second will be held in this city on
January 27 between Ora Mornlngstar and
George Sutton for the 18.2 title. Besides
the winning of the world's emblems, now
held by Sutton and Schaefer, there are 500
side bets and the net gate receipts at stake.
George Slosson and Willie Hoppe will
play an exhibition match early in Febru
ary. They were to have played 1,200 points,
divided Into three blocks, toward the end
of this month, but after everything had
been agreed upon and it only remained to
secure a hall, Hoppe suddenly let the
matter drop, for nothing haa been heard
from him on the subject.

HERMANN LIKES' THE OUTLOOK
Prealdeat of National Base Ball Cum
mission Wrltea on Conditions.
NEW YORK, Jan. ll.-That 1908 will be
a banner year for professional baae ball
is ma opinion expressed uy fresiaeni uarry
nermann or tne National commission, in
a letter published here today. In ths
letter Hermann aays:
"I believe that the preeent year holds
eve i, greater prospects for base ball than
there were results In 1M7. Through ths
Instrumentality of the National commission
and the National Association of Minor
Leagues, the various baseball Interests are
being drawn closer and closer together In
a more friendly co-operation, with the
natural result that evils are being elimi
nated and beneficial features evolved that
cannot but work to tha best Interests of
the great national same.
"In my opinion the race In both National
and Amerioan leagues will be more exciting
in 1906 than they were In 1907. It Is plain
that the weaker teams on both circuits
have been strengthened more than 'the
stronger onea Jlils means that the second
division tearaa will be tougher proportions
m iuus man tney were In law.
"And with closer races than heretofora
the patronage Is certain to be greater than
ever.

(Continued from First Page)
of the country. Already there are at
least twenty-five women teama through
out the country that have signified thslr
Intention of entering (his match. About
3400 in prises will be given away In this
special attraction.
The entertainment feature of the whole
affair will be the most elaborate and
most unique ,ever offered. ' In former
tournaments this feature, while promised
by all, has always been more or less of
a bugbear with the associations holding
tournaments, and, as was expected, they
have fallen down on thla part of their
program and promises. Not so with Cin
cinnati. The local association haa made
arrangements to take care of every per
son that comes to the tournament and
aee to it that they are suitably enter
tained. The various breweries around Cincin
nati, and there are quite a number of
them, will do their share in helping out
the local association. Already arrange
ments have been made with the different
breweries whereby each one will hold one
of those unique, yet satisfying, entertain
ments In the shape of a beefsteak fry.
There will be one of these entertainments
each evening at a different brewery, and
each and every bowler that attenda will
have at least one, and possibly more, op
portunities of attending these functiona
The bowlers of Cincinnati are adepts at
running these little affairs. In which good
fellowship Is bound to crop out, and every
out-of-town bowler that comes here will
be amply entertained along these lines.
- Facilities Vnxcelled.
The building where the tournament will
be held la one of the best adapted ones of
its kind in the country In which to hold
such an affair. The First Regiment
armory Is one of the largest, most modern
and finely put up armories in this section of
the country, and the eighteen alleys that
will be laid In the building will be models
of perfection in the alley makers' line.
The building will be entirely repainted be
fore the convention; will be elaborately
trimmed and decorated, and will be Illumin
ated throughout with electricity.
Over tltOOO ta being spent tn doing this
work, and when the alleys are all down It
will present a grand sight. Sixteen of the
alleys to be constructed will be for the pur
pose of rolling off the tournament, while
the other two alleys will be used for match
gamea only. x
The largest and moat Important match
that will be pulled off will be the one
called "the international match." In which
all winners in the American bowling con
gress. National Bowling association. West
ern bowling congress and Canadian Bowl
ing association will meet, and thla matoh
will decide the championship bowlers of
the world.
The International matches will be bowled
on the evenings of Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. February 12, 13, 14
and 15. They will Include five-men teams,
two-men teama and Individuals.
Good Prises Offered.
In addition to paying the transportation
both ways, meals en route and berths for
each of the contestants tn these events,
the committee haa offered tha following
prizes:
To the winners of the five-men team
event, $400 in gold.
To the winners of the two-men team
event, $300 in gold.
To the winner of the individual cham
pionship, 3100 in gold.
The only conditions attached to the five-
men event will be that the members thereof
must be the same as those who were en
tered at the time they won the champion
ship In their respective associations; pro
vided, however, that If any member of any
team that waa entered in these events
cannot be present the vacancy must be
filled by a person who was a regular mem
ber of auch bowling club at tha time the
event Tus won.
. This is the first time that any such event
of this kind has been attempted and to
pull It off ia a great accomplishment, to
say the least. All the winners have signi
fied their Intention of coming on to parti
cipate in thla event, and the first inter
national match promises to be a success
beyond tha anticipations of even the com
mittee. In addition to the primes as provided by
the tournament rules, being the entrance
fee less It per cent, and which la now
conceded will be the largest in the history
of bowling, special prises will be offered
by Mr. Herrmann, president of the Ameri
can Bowling congress, us follows:
First prise five-men team event, $300.
Second prise five-men team event, 3100.
First prise two-men team event, $100.

ately after the gamea have been bowled.
Namerona Special Prises.
Special prlsea of afl kinds, too numer
ous to mention, have been offered by clt
lxens. merchants and manufacturers of
Cincinnati, and will be In the nature of
a surprise to all of the visiting bowlers.
The prises will not be announced until
the convention Is on, but suffice to say
that they alone will be worth bowling
for.
One of the new features of ths tourna
ment that ia expected to make quite an
Impression on the visiting bowlers Is
the manner In which the ladles that ac
company tha bowlers will be taken care of.
For aome time there has been quite a
discussion as to who la the best woman
bowler in the country, but this matter
haa never been aettled. The Cincinnati
committer will give each and every
woman that atteuds a etiauce to boa I and

promises, and as It has always secured
reduced rates, It will see to It that ths
one concerning the hotels will be carried
out to the letter.
