The first tournament of the National Bowl ing association, which' was ' organized last year as .a reault of the failure of Philadelphia to obtain ,the meeting of the American Bowling Congress, -opened in Atlantlo City today and will continue two weeks. - The . membership of tha association 'comprises nearly all of the eastern cities formerly allied with the Amerloan Bowling Congress. Tha entry list for the tournament Is made up of 110 five-men teams, tfO two-men teams and 4 IT individuals. The oitles represented include New Haven, Reading. Rochester, Philadelphia, New Tork, Baltimore. Waahlngton, Peterson, Wilmington, Pittsburg,- Harrlatrarg, Elisabeth, New - Brunswick, Buffalo, Newark and Jersey City. v Several oitles beyond the eastern ter ritory have sent representatives te the tournament, among them Chicago, Cin cinnati, Cleveland and Louisville. -The prise money for which the teams and individuals are to contest aggre gates nearly 17,000. Of this sum. 13.600 will go to the wlnnliur five-men teams. 11,110 to the suocessful two-men teams. and ll.06l.Tt to the winning Individuals. The money will be divided on a percent, age plan. In the big team class , the five rolling the high three-game score will receive I1S5, the second will receive 1211,(0, and the others in proportion. The same method will hold good In the doubles and the singles. The first two. men prise will be I17C.S0. or per cent while the best individual total will be awarded f 114. SI.

FIGHT PROMOTER DOES 1 NOT LIKE BILLY NOLAN Another Matter te Be Considered Is Fact That Battling Dane Weuld Not Be Likely to Go Through . Another. Hard Battle With Negro. Br W. W. Naughton. San Francisco, March 16. It begins to look as if a return contest between Battling Nelson and Joe Gana will be one of the pugllistlo events of the sum mer. . Tex Rlckard hae offered the champion disputants tSO.000 for a fight to a finish at Ely, Nevada, en July 4, and Eddie Graney outbid Rlckard by tt.000. Graney thinks the attraction good enough for San Francisco, and has told Nolan- that he can secure a permit for a St round event . Both Nolan and Nelson would prefer a finish contest, but as against that the Dane is averse to boxing la Nevada, claiming that the climate of that aee- tlon has an enervating influence him. Managers Ben Sellg and Billy No lan, representing Oans and Nelson respectively, have discussed both offers and will get together Monday night and decide which they will accept The diplomats and tacticians of tha matchmaking department of pugilism must feel amused at the bluff, forth right methods of Tex Rlckard. Tex wants the Oans-Neleon match and wants it "bad." For all that, he cannot bring himself to dissemble. A little kowtow lng and. Tubbing the fur the right way might eauae this overripe Queensberry plum to drop at Rlckard's feet with an unotuous thud, but you don't find Tex trying to conciliate anybody er- dis guising his feelings and opinions. . Wolan Is Disliked. Rlckard doesn't like Nolan, who dl rects the flstlo fortunes of the nifty Norseman, and at the risk of injuring his chances of getting the coveted at traction he doesn't hesitate to say so. Ton don't find him crooking the pregJ nant hinges of the knee or anything of that kind. Not on your life. He says he wouldn't pass the time of day to Nolan, let alone discuss business mat ters with him, and that if Nelaon wants to accept 'the SS0.000 offer he must ap point a temporary manager to conduot negotiations. So much for Rlckard's feelings. Now for his opinions. He says he doeen't believe Nelson has the slightest Idea of tackling Gans a second time. In other words, that the Dane had all be, wanted from Duaky Joe that September after. aeon in the little hollow below the town of Ooldfleld. ... "Then why an this fuss of offering a purse and naming a aateT" Rlnkard was asked. - "Because I want to settle tha matter onoe and for alt," said Tex. "I was the first man to get Gans and Nelson Into a ring, and I wanted to have It to say, if possible, that X ar ranged the return match between them. I began worX on the second meeting because I saw through Nelson a bluff. Llks many more I thought he was furl oua to 1 get at Gans. -1 Interested mer chants and other business people at Ely In my plans and even now they all want me to do my beat to bring the fight there. Soon after I outlined the scheme I began to see signs of weakness on Nelson's part One thing after another cropped up until I finally persuaded my self that Nelaon wanted none of Gana' game. I don't want to waste time and I have brought matters to a stage where Nelaon will have1 to place himself on record."- SUokard Talks. It Isn't every promoter who oan afford to declare himself In such a clean-cut matter as that Rlckard evidently be lieves in the old adage "Money talks," and ha attributes other virtues to money besides Its fluency and its purchasing power. In this partloular Instance he thinks t wlU wring the truth from the Durable Dane. It certainly looks as though It were up to Mr. Nelson to make a few perti nent remarks. There is no occasion to recall even a tithe of what he claimed in the months following the last engage ment with Gans. ' Before he set out from England, however, on his return home he said to tha British sports, "I am going back to force that negro to fight me." He sent leters bristling with similar sentiments to his friends in this coun try. Tn Englishmen, no doubt, pictur ed Oans skipping from pillar to post le escape the wrath- of the determined Dane, while we, on this side, know there waa nothing of that kind at all. The real facts are that Gans has shown himself not only willing but eager to break another lance with Nel son. - At first the Baltlmorean was In clined to dictate. He wanted an after noon weighing and he wanted the lion's share of the purse no matter , who caught the referee's eye. He capitulated gradually and gracefully. He agreed first to weigh at the ringside and now ho has withdrawn his demand for a sure 40 per cent Blements ef Fngtllsm. Of course, there are more things In matchmaking and pugilism than are dreamed of In any man'a philosophy, ami it may be that If Nelaon declines the issue there are good and cogent rea sons for the calming down of, his war like spirit For that matter there is a story afloat now to the effect that Nelson's battl ing days are practically over. The whisper Is that his nose Is In such shape through Injuries and operations that It will not bear the brunt of sn other mill without rendering htm lia ble to weakening and possibly fatal hemorrhages. If there la anything of that kind, the truth ban be told without loaa of prestige or dignity so far as the Hsgeswich hero Is concerned. But if his war equipment anil this defenses are ss complete aa ever he cannot very well afford to slight the big purses at present orrered. -- Incidentally, I shouldn't wonder If Rlckard's latest offer will be the last of the big purses for prise fights in Nevada, As a stamping ground for pugs the sagebrush state is fading away a camp at a time. If you will notice a Nevada fight ren ter never repreats.

As a bidder for Queensberry entertainments Ely stande alone Just at present and the chances are that Ely's Fourth of July card wnataver it may be will be Its flrxt and last attempt at fostering tha sport of the glove. When the pugllistlo boom struck the mineral belt a half year ago it looked as though the golden era of pugilism had begun. Some of the placea that bid and some of the bids they made were simply ridiculous. The mode seemed to be to sink a shaft put up a shack and bid for a prise fight It has all subsided though. There will be about one more sob and then rigor mortis. And at that tha Ely offer to Gans and Nelson is worth ons hundred cents on the dollar. The Gans-Nelson talk has taken at tention from the Gans-Brttt match which Coffroth hopes to arrange for April SO In Ban Francisco. As matters stand. It is for Brltt to say whether the affair will go through. Jimmy la somewhat coy, but his friends believe he will bow to the Inevitable before many daya go by. Of course, Brltt would have preferred a clatter with Battling Nelaon. He is frank enough to say bj. Tou see, the San Francisco fights are to round events, and when the clever ness of a Brltt la pitted against the stilted style of a Nelson In a limited bout It Isn't eaay to, call the turn." .In other words, Nelson with his one way styls is a less dangerous customer fur Jimmy for a stated distance than . a fellow like Oans who can spar with a sparrer or alug with a slugger. On Tuesday night ' next Cyclons Thompson and Dick Hyland will meet In a SO round bout at Dreamland tn thla cltr.
