FTER bowling for six weeks on their home alleys, the success- ful entrants who qualified for the teams from the twelve representa- tive academies in The Evening World three-man’ tourney will get off to a good start in the opening of the de- ciding home-and-home series to-night at the Eureka and Bronx Palace alleys. The Metropolitans are sched- wled to meet the former, while the strong Park Row team will hook up with the Bronx bowlers. Tho rules of the tourney call for three games to be rolled each night that two teams meet, and standings will be computed from the number of games won and lost. Postponements are prohibited and games must start at 880 sharp, From to-night on the pin knights will have the opportunity of showing their bowling skill on other than their home strips, Tho Probabilities are that “double centu- ries” will not be as common as during the elimination period. According to the schedule, every team will have rolled tournament games by the end of this first week, which means that next Monday the big serios will be going at full speed. Ansel Endres is to be congratulated on the complete and satisfactory ar- rangement of the dates. But one change is necessary, and that is the Bureka-Broadway Arcade games of Jan, 17, On this date alterations are contracted for on the Bureka alleys. Followers of the ten-pin game will be out in full force to-night to wit- ness the opening battle, which will be decidedly interesting, The men who are to roll in this event are the pick of the amateur bowlers of Greater New York, As in other similar tour- Baments, a few more shining lights will be added to the bowling world.

Charles Lincoln came in an automobile bearing gifts to all his friends, which by the way are quite legion. country sausages, buckwheat flour, fresh eggs, smoked hams and even had two huge buckets of oysters, all of which came from the land and seascape in front of his Maryland home, and which were distributed among the needy in baseball. Charley laughs at the idea of being traded to Boston. He declares he will be running the Cincinnat! Reds as usual and, of more importance, he makes the positive statement that he will have the best club tn the league and may win the pennant. He thinks his pitching staff can give that of any other club cards and spades.

They have had several talks, but the Captain insists that he and Col, Ruppert are going right ahead with their plana for a new park. They will do this even if they should decide to use the Polo Grounds for more than one year. McGraw is on the ground, ready to do some trading, and would like to have some one show him a crack catcher, In fact he would trade ‘most anything if they showed him the goods. Jim Gaffney is still talking about how he's going to make those Braves behave next year, while George Stal- lings is thinking up new schemes to make them fight. George doesn’t know anything about that reported ex- change of Herzog and Evers, but he has nothing on the rest of them, Nobody claims to know anything about it.
