loo tinned from Second P(g«.
The great American sport loving pub
lic has for the past four months paid
homasre to the outdoor athlete and hav
ing admired his skill and prowess dur
ing a season replete with brilliant
achievements is about to close the book
at the last chapter and hand it down to
posterity as one of the most important
in the annals of sport. With the ad
vent of fall, outdoor sports decline in
activity and indoor athletics look up.
According to the inclination of the dif
ferent sections of the country, the fancy
or custom, whichever it be, leans to
basket ball, to indoor cycle racing, to
boxing or to athletics in general. Each
and every one of these branches of
athletics maintains its prestige and
holds the popular interest until the wa
ter season is tided over. But there is
one sport in the category of indoor
athletics that stands in a class by
itself and shines brightly above all
others, more so in some sections than
others, but prominently enough to des
ignate it as a universal pastime, and
that is bowling. It is only within re
cent years that bowling has assumed
proportions that makes it a national
sport, but the impetus gained by the
pastime and through whose work its
influence has branched out in every di
rection it can now safely be called the
leading fall and winter sport. What
cycling is to outdoor recreation bowl
ing has come to be regarded as an in
door means of building up the body
and mind. The aims of both are identi
cal and as such the interests of both
are being promoted wherever athletics
i are a feature of the community.
I And what bright possibilities there
are for the season now at hand. Let
j us look to the East.The season of 1896
i and 1897 saw no less than seventy tour
| naments in Greater New York and vi
i cinity. Until about a month ago it
j looked doubtful whether there would be
I half that number of competitions de
i cided in the same territory this season.
Since then, however, there has a been a
I wonderful change. Although only a
few had begun to make preparations to
begin tournament rolling, there are to
day no less than fifteen competitions
ready to begin business to-morrow.
This in itself clearly proves that 1897
and 1898 will prove a banner year for
the sturdy wielders of the wooden
sphere. The Royal Arcanum bowlers
will again lead the way in the number
of clubs to the tournament. No less
than twenty-nine different councils and
all from the city of Brooklyn have en
tered teams. They will be divided in
two sections, one of fifteen clubs and
the other of fourteen. The most inter
esting open competition in the East
will be the one decided in New York
City, the American National Tourna
ment. This tourney will open its
eighth season on October 11, with
twenty-one of the best teams that can
be found within a radius of 100 miles
of great metropolis. The competi
tion will run seventy consecutive nights
except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays
and the games are always well attend
ed for the reason that the cream of the
talent in the East competes. There are
several other twenty-one-team compe
titions, to say nothing of the number
of tourneys made up of nine, twelve
and fifteen clubs.
In addition to these the enthusiasts
of New York and vicinity are also treat
ed to tournaments, made up exclusively
of men in the drug trade. There is also
a Bank Club League, Fire and Life In
surance League, Litho Artists’ League,
Dry Goods League and other too nu
merous to mention. After the Yule
tide season the ladies of New York
! Brooklyn and New Jersey, organize
tournaments. The games are rolled in
the afternoon and the sterner sex is
! not admitted unless accompanied by
one of the fair bowlers. The winners
of the tourneys of these three great
bowling centers then meet in
a Anal round of games to
j decide the championship. This
same opportunity is also offered
to the sterner bowlers, for after the
regular bowling season in the East—
1- fl?m about 0ctoh€r 15 to
March lo closes the United Bowling
Clubs, an organization comprising
about ninety clubs and whose sole pur
i P°fr 18 to foster and promote the sport
: holcis a championship tournament. In
other words this tournament is onlv
open to teams who have finished first
in open competitions. In this wav the
cnampion of all champions is discov
ered.
*lwa-vs considerable discus
8?°n Prtor to the opening of
the bowling season as to how many
clubs or teams should constitute a
tpurnament.A few years ago fifteen
tha limit. Since that tnp+
ksm
: bo many bowling clubs have sprung up
| that it was decided to increase the
i membership of some of the tourneys
| from fifteen to twenty-one. Twenty
one clubs in a tourney is by far too
; great a number and the length of time
| it takes to decide it keeps the interest
i out of it until almost the final games
! are rolled. What bowlers, and those
who find much pleasure in watching
: the games rolled like is a tournament
that runs about thirty or forty nights.
In this way the interest is always keen,
because the strongest teams become
apparent after a few weeks’ play.
Such, however, is not the case with a
tournament made up of twenty-one
or more clubs. The twenty-nine-club
straightaway tournament of the Royal
Arcanum League, of Brooklyn, last sea
son, proved a huge fizzle because the
length of time it took to decide all the
games. The tournament then began in
October and did not end until April.
This was more than the bowlers and
public could stand, and numerous ev
enings went by when there were only
empty benches to greet the bowlers.
This season, as said before, the clubs
have been divided in two sections,
which makes it a fifteen and fourteen
club tournament. Eight winners in
one section and seven in another will
come together for a final struggle. In
this way three interesting competi
tions are likely to result. Certainly
this method of deciding competitions
with such a great number of clubs is
not favored by all, especially the play
ers of the teams entered. What bowl
ers want most is to try their skill
against every other club in the tourney.
In this way they do not do it.
The Hamilton County League of Cin
cinnati, coming to the West, decided to
hold a straightaway tournament con
sisting of thirty-two clubs. Those who
have been connected with the sport for
many years are positive the Cincinnati
bowlers will regret their move before
their tournament is half finished. It
takes exactly 165 nights with three dif
ferent teams bowling every night in the
week except one to decide a thirty-two
club competition. If Cincinnatiars will
interest themselves in this kind of a
tournament from start to finish and at
tend the games night after night for
ready six months, they will do some
thing that bowlers in other parts of the
country never before attenmpted to do.
In other words, if this monster tourna
ment is a go. then the Queen City of
the West is bowling mad.
The boom the game has taken in Cen
tral Ohio is truly wonderful. Before
the famous trip of the Brooklyn Bowl
ing Club to the west in the season ol
'35, T6. there were only a few bowling
alleys in Ohio. Now they are spring
ing up like mushrooms over night in
every part of the State. Columbus,
Dayton and Springfie'd all have the fev
er. and Cleveland, Toledo and other
places are likely to b° in line before the
winter season is many months old.
What is even more surprising is the
wav the new recruits to the game are
picking up the game. Somt are al
ready so proficient at the game that
they can eafelv hold their end with
some of the old timers. What is most
needed now in Ohio to boom along the
eame and insure its perpetuance is a
State leaerue. One could easily be
formed with Cincinnati. Dayton. Spring
field and Columbus. New York has
one with Niagara Falls, Buffalo, New
York and Brooklyn, and It has helped
along the game wonderfully In thei
East. Chicago could be easily added to
the circuit They have the fever bad
la thre Windy City, and i *
abandoned the narrow thirty-six inch
alleys for the regulation forty-two inch
alleys, they have made big strides for
ward in the sport.
From latest reports they now have
five and ten men teams, whom they arc
n-jt. afraid to pit against all comers
Milwaukee, too, is rapirly coming into
line, and already many are spending
their evenings there, downing the pins.
Throughout New England, especially
Boston, the game has a firm hold on the
put lie, but until the lK>wlers and alley
owners there change their present
methods some, the bowlers of New Eng
land will hardly he able to compare
their rkill with the outside bowling
world.
l'^e alley keepers of Brooklyn and
ttiose of Cincinnati have in view objects
that they hope will culminate in bene
fit to their craft. NeitheV city is work
ing in conjunction with the other.
What the alley keepers of the two cities
want is the formation of an organiza
tion by which their interests will be
combined. It will be a sort of a mut
ual protection. Uniform rates, con
formity of regulations and rules, the
rolling of tournament games, open and
club games, the weeding out of undesir
able element and other kindred points
will be defined, at least that is the pro
position. Of course, the alley keepers
can do as they see fit. This is their
privilege, but bowlers will almost cer
tainly look upon any such organization
as the public always views protective
associations in sports especially.

days of the early Dutch settlers or

the foundation for its prosperity in afi

1 Green by the sport Inaugurated by tha
| teetnt Athletic Club, of BrooKlyn.
j This club has Inaugurated a tourna
! tin ’it for its members of bowling on tli«
green. The grounds are almost as
smooth as our alleys, a steam roller
making the green firm and true and
fast. A considerable degree of interest
has been aroiased by these competitions
and they have met with a full measure
of success, so much so in fact that next
season bowling on the green will mostly
likely be a feature of the outdoor ath
letic contests. In the more suitable
climates this sport might be a feature
a goodly portion of the year.

THE DISTRESSED DA MOSER.
She paced her chamber floor, a maiden
fair—
Ppon her face a look of anxious care
Anon.she sighed—aye, even groaned, as

And trom her vocal w-orks these words
were borne:
I II never eat another y'ear of corn!"
