BREEZY BOWLING GOSSIP

Crashing the pins “lady hard" every game and finishing the day with a 907 total. the Agnew Fulton combination grabbed off the doubles title in the first annual City Ladies’ Bowling Tournament, which closed on the Central drives yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Wege finished at the top of the individual class with a score of 496. The doubles champs rolled along at an even pace and when one of them missed a lick the other stepped up with enough wood to fill the gap. Mrs. Fulton’s third game—lßs score —was the best one-round effort registered by the winners. The Reynolds-Geisel duo finished secoud in the doubles race, with 894 pins. Next came the Meyer Barrett outfit with an 592 mark. The Johnson-Hook and Mattera-Reit-xeil teams finished fourth and fifth, with totals a little better than 800 Mrs. Geisel got the only double een tury of the two-lady bombardment. She bumped off 009 pins in her second game. Mrs. Wege came near getting over the big line in the singles. She opened fire with a 193. Following Mrs Wege in the singles came Mrs. Reynolds with a 470-total. A fee of ’em lost thehr ambisb In the singles. Mrs. Rook is a good example. She ducked under the century tape in her second game. Ton honors in the all-events also fell Into the hands of Mrs. Wege. She stacked up 1.341 pins In her nine games. A brace of snappy counts by Randall and all round good shooting brought the Hides a three time win over the Ears in the Elk circuit lass night. Randall got away with 138 and fol lowed with “12 and 225. Richter tried to do something for the Ears with a 238 smash, but he didn’t get auy credit for his trouble. The Shin Bones lost a hard scrap to the Antlers. Klineman's classy shooting was the cause of their downfall. Meyer and Magel did a lot of little things for the Shin Bones. All the Teeth put in a good lick or two and they posted two 900 totals and one almost as good to win the odd game from the Hoofs. Double centuries by Harshman and MrElwaine saved the Hoofs in the third same. The Eves came out second best in their battle with the Tails. Blue got plenty of wood for the Tails. McAllen was the best Eye. Three counts that every team can't | shoot gave the Teeth a clean wit over: the Hides In a postponed match. .

April B.—Jack Dempsey Is going to return so the ring and defend bis title on July 3 in Benton Harbor, Mich., against the best American heavyweight contender obtainable. Fred Fulton. Willie Meehan, Billy Mlske, Bill Brennan and Tony Melcboir are the men from whom his opponent Is to be picked. j Jack has accepted the date and only a i disastrous ending of his trial can prevent 1 the match going through. In the event (he governme'nt halts this plan. Benny Leonard and Richie Mitchell will fill iu the date. This was the word given out today by Floyd Fitzsimmons, promoter, of Bentou Harbor. Fitzsimmons has just returned from Los Angeles, where he says he signed both Dempsey and Leonard. EAGER TO GET BACK IX RING. Dempsey is eager to defend his title, eager to get back Into the ring. He said, according to Fitzsimmons, be would rather fight than pick up the easy money of the movies.

April 8 With the legis latino of twelve round holing bouts practically aaured in New Jersey. the Skeeter state looms up today ns the probable site us the proposed Dempsey t'urpeuiier coiitett. if It is singed tp this • mintry An amendment to the Hurley boxing law increasing the limit of bout* from eight to twelve round* lin* passed both hou-.es of the state legislature at Treti ton and Gov.

New York's chances of landing the big fistic plum hae apparently been swept uwiiy. ns the Walker bill, calling for fif’een round bout*, lias (•eeti blocked In the assembly rules committee. The Walker bill was supported by the army, navv and civilian board of hoi mg control and the International Sporting club, which has had the inside track In the race for the Dempsey Carpentler match up to now. The heavy financial outlay necessary to the promnttuii of the bout between Detup spy and Carpentler makes it impe'ratlvc that the contest tie staged near oue of the great center* of population and Newark or Jersey City, considering their clone proximity to New York, would up near to be ideal sites for the big fight, while twelve rounds would be enough to satisfy.
