New York Delegation Must Accept A. B. C. Rules. CHICAGO, January 27.

Bowlers all over the country are unanimous In 'con demning the stand the New Yorkers seem to have taken ever the terms they propose If they are to re enter the American Bowling Congress this year. Treasurer Frank. Pasdeloup, of the A. B. probably the best Informed man In this city on the squabble at Buffalo two years ago.

In epeaking about the pro posed terms, said that the position the Eastern men were taking was not dif ferent from the stand they took when the split occurred. lie thinks thero is little chance of the opposing factions being brought together under the conditions the New York mass meeting instructed Its representatives to offer nt Cleveland; Pasdeloup said that the Idea of the American Bowling Congress having to go v1? to change all itslrules and bylaws for these ot the new body was too preposterous for any of the Western delegates to accept. The alleged peace terms were undoubtedly dictated by the old faction, which caused the original split, and which seemed determined to keep the East and WCst apart as long as it could. The American Bowling Congress, he as4 Berts, is on a firmer footing now than; when the New Y'ork crowd was in the AJ B. and the standard of bowlers hlgher.

li nas snown its acuity to get along without the Eastern men for two vears. ami In all probability the Western delegates win vote to continue that way rather than give in to the East. Western bowlera have put the game 'on a substantial basis without the practice night idea, says Pasdeloup, and the game Is too well established on those lines out Aest to hopo to change rule.

Both, are Brood bowlers and had atrreed to roll 'a. game in the adjoining alleys, when the plaintiff in the suit appeared with a proposition to settle the claim there instead of in court. The challenge was quickly accepted, and while the lawyers kept score the litigants struggled for strikes. The plaintiff won.

Then they went back to the courtroom, had Judg ment eniereu nccoroinsijr ana wiueu uie case on the spot. i Shortrldge Bowlers Surprised. The Shortrldge High School bowlers were greatly surprised" when their second division defeated Training School. They had expected an easy victory for the first division, but defeat for the second five. Overconfldence and lack of practice were the causes of the first five's downfall.

They will practice every afternoon this and next week In the hope of wlnnlnsr when the clubs again meet. It Is likely that Mose Aronson will be trans ferred to tne secona oivision ana mat Philip Baker, who did such good' bowling for the second, will take Aronson's place as fifth man on the first division.
