Strikes, spares and Breaks.

Club will be opened tomorrow afternoon.
Several improvements have been made.

have been removed; the run has been
~lengthene without encroaching upon
the space reserved for spectators and the
alleys are In superb condition and as
smooth and bright as a looking glass.
The Bowling Committee of the Jersey
CITY A. e.. favors more home games. They
propose arranging a long series OF games
with the Palma Club, possibly a series OF
eleven games. This plan was suggested
at the Palma Club alleys last season, as
there was decidedly more interest in
the games of the local teams
than in the contests with out
of town teams. The players and
reach HON at a ~seasonaDle hour, and
when away the team has to roll quickly
and often carelessly to get through the
game in time to catch the last train for
home. TheJPalma boys will gladly agree
to Q series with the Jersey City boys.
The Palmas will open the season early
next month with the usual club tourna-
ment. Half a dozen teams of five men
each will battle for team and individual
prizes. Judge Clark is at the head of the
Bowling Committee and the veteran sam
Hathaway is with him
