"Do-Do" Ball no More;
Bowlers Get Equal Chance
Special to The Telegraph
Atlantic City, N. J.. April 20.—After
three years of unsuccessful efforts the
National Bowling Association yester
daS' vpted unanimously to abolish the
rloaAad or "do-do" ball. The settle
.merit of this question ends a long and
bitter strutiKle between factions and
plaaes the sport sre.norn.lly on a more
'even plan* for all.
U was recommended by delegates
tha.t pla) ing rule No. 10 hp amended
«o that la addition to limiting the
weigh* of the ball to sixteen pounds
and tho size to twenty-seven inches,
the weight should be so distributed
that at no point on its surface shall
the weight effect exceed three ounces
of the point directly opposite, it was
explained that when manufacturers
Tiad been given sufficient time to regu
late possible in perfect lons In manu
facture or overcome other mechanical
problems the excess could be reduced
to two ounces or even less. This
Amendment WHS unanimously adopted.
The changes go into effect imme
diately and onco for all settle the
argument for and against the so-called
artificial hook, which has been claimed
gives the expert the advantage over
the. less experienced bowler.

Rain Interferes With Practice and Teams Were Too Green
For Special Work in Opening Game
Amateur and semi-professional
teams got a poor start Saturday. Bet

warm weather, and after an oppor

Lemoyne, Pa., April 20.—The above photograph is that of Allen E.
Anderson and a loon which he caught recently on the east end of the Cum
berland Valley railroad bridge on returning to his home in Lemoyne after
work. He found the fowl on the bridge injured. A heavy fine prevents the
shooting or catching of loons when uninjured. The l»ird weighs about
twenty pounds and is extra large. Mr. Anderson immediately inquired at
the State Game Warden's otflce for advice and was told to keep and take
care . : of the bird until it was able to fly. Mr. Anderson is taking the
best of care of the bird and many people call to see it.
BLUE MONDAY WILL
STW SECOND WEEK
Things Have Not Been Breaking
Satisfactorily Thus Far;
Managers Grouchy
BY UMP
Heart to heart talks ill baseball
clubhouses were in order to-day.
Managers started the second week of
the major league season with a double
coated grouch. There was reason.
The players in doubt found out before
they took the field for practice to-day.
Not in years has there been so
much unsatisfactory work at the go
off as this year. Kain, lack of form,
and recent contract jumpers hold the
center of the stage. With a probab
ility of another rainy week it looked
like a real Blue Monday throughout
the baseball world to-day.
Thus far the pace set by the Fed
erals Is attracting attention. The
"outlaws" as they are called are hand
ing out the kinrl of baseball that
brings excuses from the small boy
about, "grandmother" dying.
If the Keds keep up the game play-
all over the Camp Gurtin Feds, win
ning by a score of 20 to 3. A new
aggregation that looks like a real
baseball team, Is the Morrcs A. C. t
This team defeated Cameron A. C\,
score 13 to 3.
Hnrrlsburg'n star P. R. T{. V. M. C.
A. nine opened-the season with Jun
iata losing by a score of 4 to 2. The
Garnet A, C. had an easy time with
the Pennsylvania railroad Apprentices
taking the game by a score of 20 to 1.
Other scores were:
Pulton A. C„ 8; Wallace A. C„ 3:
Ijebanon high school, 4; Pnncannon
high school, 2; Lebanon high school,
17: New Rloomfield, 8; Hamilton Tig
ers. 6; Maclay A. C. 5:
Ed last week, until the close of the
season, major league towns with tail
end teams are sure to lose prestige.
The general feeling among baseball
fans is that there will be some changes
this year, and that neither the Ath
letics or New York Giants will have
a runaway race. There have been
many expressions of disappointment
over the showing of the McGraw and
Mack contingents.
Renewed interest in the baseball
game will come this week because all
the Tri-State teams will be cavorting
about their respective fields by Wed
nesday. Allentowu and Wilmington
have been busy for four days, each
team trying out a bunch of young
sters. The stars and vets were sche
duled to report to-day and in addi
tion watching the score boards, base
ball fans will size up the future greats
in the Tri-State.

a home run, besides allowing but one
hit.

WILLIE RITCHIE
The lightweight champion of the
world, whose failure to knock out
"Harlem Tommy" Murphy In their
recent twenty-round bout at LOB An
geles has caused many to reiterate
their declarations that the champion
does not possess a real knockout wal
lop. They argue that Ritchie had
Murphy helpless at several stages oj
the fight and yet he was unable to
'• >ock out his reeling opponent. Mur- :
pi.y, a veteran who is popular from
coast to coast, is being praised all
over the country for the gaineness ho
displayed in taking all that Rltchls
had to send over and rushing in for
wore.
