In bowling olrcles. (us Tsxas Bow!
lcu ss at present constituted will not
bold a content for tb Houston Turn-
vcrsin cup ta this dty sext Thaaksglvliig

I This was brought about by ths Houston
lurnvsrda Bowling dub falling to bottfy
'lbs members ot tb ksgu sixty days in
advsnc that it would def sad th np
at specified In tb lutes under which tha
cup was donated. Th cup now becomes
ths property of the donors tba Houston
Turnversln sssodatlon. v':- ;. '
' Sections I and W o( the' -Rules and
Regulation Governing ' th Houstou
Turnvsraln Cup" ar s follows:
"rec 1 Th dub winning the cup snd
falling to arrana tor a aompsutton. srl th-
in ons year Irom th dale at winning
shall forfeit tb cup to th Houston Turn-
vsraln." ......
t "fies. Ml Th pcsscsooT ot ths cup shall
gtva dus Botlos to th dub composing
th tsagu at least two months beiore
contest takes place." .
It bow lacks less thaa a month of
Tnaakaglvlng Day' when the year allowed
to th srsssnt holders of th cup to ar-
range for a oompetltioB will expire and
th Urns tor notify Ins th other duo
bss passed -'
Ths resurrected nil of ths Houston
Turnverda that nonmembers redding in
th dty can sot bowl on too alleys of th
a rc elation Is th chief cause of this prso-
tical disbanding ot ths league. When the
Harris County Bowling league Wss bdng
formed th Turnvsrein Bowling club waa
gives aotio by Its parent body that this
nils must b adhsrsd to and th dub
therefor did not apply (or membership
ta ths county organisation
' Although ths Carlsruhe Magnolia and
B runner dub headquarters ars outaids
th dty limits the majority of thstr man-
bsrs ar residents of th city and th
"nsnmembereblp" nil ' would prevent
them from participating b any contest on
ths Turnvsrsln aflsys. -'
Therefor th Turnversln Bowling dnb
dsdded to forfeit th cup under operation
of ruls I previously quoted. - ' -
Ths dub has however. Invited th thre
Dsllas clubs to a friendly contest here on
Thanksgiving Day which has been ac-
cepted. A meeting of toe State lesgu
will also b bdd on thst data. It Is prob-
able th league may by changing IU
laws bold a cup toumamvnt here No-
vember M ss heretofore and Should snob'
action bs taken the dub will all hav
teams band.
Mr. Ie F. Schwelkart president of th
Stat BowHng lesgu. who furnished th
reporter with most of th in formation
contained In tb foregusng also mads tb
following statement: a.
"I unoerstand that many Ot ths bowlers
who were awsrs that tn cup had been
forfeited by tb Houston Turnverejn
Bowling; club blams me for ths state of
aflaira. They claim that I. as president
should hbv given ths sixty days' notice.
A thorough understanding ot ths matter
will exonerate me I believe. Thsr I
nlothlng ta ths paragraph defining th
duties of tb president ta regard to con-
tests but It has been tb custom ot my
predecessors on rscdvtag sixty days' no-
tification from ths holders ot ths cup to
notify tb other dubs at th aims tlm
oaUlne a meeting for th date of th
oon teat. As I have received no aottos from
tb Turnvsrsta bowlers that they would
defend th cup I wss not authorised to
notify ths other dubs to send teams to
taks part ta a com petition for ths cup.
I navs however Issued a call for ths an-
nus! meeting of ths league en November
M Thanksgiving Day and action may ba
taksn that will allow a cup cos test to b
held." .; ... ; . v..
