the Year.
Berlin, Nov. 17. The movement for
the reform of the International calen

the view to adopting an arrangement
by which every year will be divided
Into exactly fifty-two weeks or 304
days.
New Year's day would be nn extra
day. Sunday would bear no date, j
The four quarters of the year would
be exactly of the same length thirty, '
thirty and thirty-one days successive

September and December always
would fall on Sunday. Every leap
year would have an off day that nel-
ther would be counted nor dated. It '
would be Inserted between June 31 1
and July 1.

TENPIN ARU!
IN BIO TOURNEY
Elaborate Preparations Being
Made For Annual A. B,G, Event,
RECORD EHTRY EXPECTED,
Over Four Hundrod and Fifty Clubs
May Turn Out In Tourney to Be'Hld
In St. Louis Contests to Start 'Jan.
21 and Continuo Until Feb. 6, 1811.
St Louis Is In the thick of prepara
tions for the coming national tourna
ment of the American bowling con
gress, scheduled at the Coliseum from
Jan. 21 to Feb. 0, 1011, and the Mound
City promoters are talking up an ex
pected entry list of some 450 clubs,
fifty more than turned out for Detroit
last spring. The greatest reason for
nn expected gain In the number of en
tries is put down to the early date of
the opening, which Is set for January,
nearly two months earlier tium the
usual opening games have been rolled
In the last few years.
Chicago held the first meeting of the
congress Iwick In 1001, and the games
were all rolled within two weeks of
New Year's day. Since then the date
for starting the tournament has stead
ily grown later until nt Louisville n
fashion for beginning on St Patrick'
day was set, and it has been adhered
to pretty much ever since until St.
Louis made a big protest nt Detroit
and carried its point by getting thd
dntes in January.
Baseball Interferes With Tourney.
Starting the meet In March has air
ways cost the promoters a lot of en
tries on account of baseball players
and fans alike turning from the Indoor
game to the diamond sport and show-

log only lukewarm iuUreet In the an
nual tournament. With an early data
it looks as though a lot of the famous
diamond stars will take part In the
n&eet this your, while aewspapers all
over the country are expected to de
vote more Hpace to the meet, as their
columns win not be filled wita reports
of the spring tralmiac tripe of their
ball clubs.
The Missouri promoters are almost
without exception different men from
thoe who ran the 1007 gathering, the
one that has set a lew water mark foi
the A. B. C. contests.
Good Conditions Will Rule,
Against the poor conditions of that
year the 1011 meet Is guaranteed con
Unuous alleys of the same speed as
those used in other cities. The sched'
ulc will le handled by Secretary Abe
Langtry und his trained corps of as
slstants, nnd the thermometer is fair
ly safe from taking any unexpected
boo6t Into the nineties. Tho Coliseum
building is away ahead of any building
yet offered the congress for the alleys,
besides being located lu tho virtual
heart of the city, close to all lines ot
transportation.
Will Bowl Seventeen Days.
Tho tournament will last for seven
teen duys, und play will start at 9
o'clock In the morning and will run
until 12 o'clock at night. It will take n
forco of 200 people to handle the tour
nament. Every lniwler who makes the
trip to the Missouri city will be shown
the time of his or her life, and many a
great treat Is lu ntore for the visitors.
