Bowling. Athletics and
Tennis.

The Jersey City Amateur Bowling
League, which had such a successful
season, and did SO much to improve the
interest of amateurs in the pastime, will
continue its laudable efforts in the same
direction this season.
President Arthur D. Loud has Issued q
call for a meeting of the directors for the
purpose of reorganizing. This meeting
Will be held next Thursday evening at
Holstein's alleys. corner OF Bergen and
Paramount avenues.
Some changes will probably be made
and new clubs viii be admitted. All the
clubs that were prominent in the League
last season will remain in the organize
ton, but it is possible That one or W will
retire. A large number Of new clubs will
ask to be admitted; conspicuous among
these will be the Pin knights, who will,
ii elected. be foremost in the race. One
at least Of the prominent players of last
season will be de Shared from competing
this season unless the rules are amended,
which is not likely.
The indications are that the League will
have another successful season.
