The Jersey City Amateur Bowling
League had a long session last night. but
transacted considerable important bust
hess. The meeting was held at Holstein's.
corner Of Bergen and Fairinount avenues
Twelve delegates were present nnd each
of the seven clubs was represented.
President Loud was absent and Vice
President George Lusch occupied the
chair. Ex-Secretury Fred Hulse acted as
scribe.
The committee appointed to revise the
constitution reported that all the clubs
were represented at its meeting except
the Atlantas and that very few amend
ments We're made TO the laws. The Sec
ton relative to dues and assessments was
changed to make IN fee SIS instead Of
$40. This fee, by the way, must be paid
at the next meeting OF the league on
October 16. two weeks from last night.
The Board of Directors was wiped out
as q useless branch. ami IN its stead tho
League will act. The League will be
composed of two Representatives from
each club. A question WIS raised as TO
the right Ola delegate when only one
was present from as.clnb to cast two
votes. 1t was decided that each repre-
sentative was entitled to only one vote.
SO that it will be necessary for every
! to select as its representa-
tives two men who will be
faithful and attend the meet
ings, else it will be deprived of a
vote. The membership of each club was
liked at twenty. This list of members
must be filed at the next meeting. In the
event of new men joining a club, the
name of the new member or members
must be sent to the secretary of the
league. and the new mar cannot bowl I'M
til twenty days after his nam has been
fila6 nv the all1h Tho 1aaoIfa will hatu-
ever, consider all new candidates, and
will receive OF reject them.
They intend to be vigilant and check
any club from putting In star or profess
sional bowlers to win for it the champion
ship. The secretary's powers were in
creased. He was given authority TO sign
all official papers without hustling
around to find the president and have
him affix his signature to the document.
The rule regarding official unpires was
amended. This season there will be a
regular umpire nominated by each club,
and In his absence The captains of the
teams will elect a substitute.
Last season there were six regular and
six substitute umpires. The scores made
in all forfeited games will go on the rec.
ord and be considered in preparing the
averages as if they were regular games
that had not been protested. Even where
notice of protest is entered the gam
must be bowled. OF course where q
game is forfeited by a clubs failure to
appear. it is not necessary for the
club that is on hand to bowl
and send in its score. The
knot.y clause concerning professional
bowlers was discussed by the committee
and they reached a conclusion that salts
fled the league. The happy hit declares
that the league by a tw~o-thiros vote can
reject applications for membership in any
club where they regard it for the best in
terest OF the league SO to do. The consti-
tuition. as amended. was adopted without
debate.
1t was decided not to keep open the list
but proceed with the seven clubs. The
Committee on Applications was conse-
quently discharged. A motion that the
season open in the first week in Novem-
Der was adopted. Ex-Secretary Hulse
was appointed as the committee to pre-
pare the schedule. 1t was concluded to
play foul games each week. There will
be O total of eighty-four games, and this
will continue the season twenty-o one
weeks
