The villain had not noticed my

have killed all hands, but the rest

that the captain and his friends
should be confined and set on shore

his prisoners faithfully ironed, and

THE LOCAL LEAGUE.
Independents and Pleas
ures Won-Bowling,
AthletiCS-The Cue.

The Independents are making another
lne race for the championship OF the
Jersey City League. They now hold the
lead by two lengths as they gained n
last night by defeating the Century team
They won handily. The Court House
boys made a poor showing and fell far be-
meath the average. 1t was general poor
work. Only one man on the team bowled
well. Fish distinguished himself. he
made 100. Rosa bowied a fair serve. The
otner eight were low. Hanley and Loud
did not bowl with the team. The latter
of1ciaIed as scorer a distinguished
duty for him to perform. The
great fault with h Century
boys Is that they have the
conviction that they cannot bowl on the
champions alleys and go there with the
expectation of being defe ated. A team
should not abandon hope until the game
Is over.
The Champions reached a respectable
but not high average. A few OF It's team
were a shade Of In bowling. Holder was
in front with III, E. Bischof had a XXI
score. kundahl and Captain Nreeland ala

team ducKed just under the $50 line, ana
three had ow scores.

1t was a cinch. This was the opinion OF
the Atlanta Clubs bowlers last night.
They had an engagement with the Pleas
ure Clubs team on Holstein's alleys 1t
was one of the series of games in the Jer-
sey City Amateur League. The Atiantas
had Just bowled a big game and var
cuished the Volunteers. aud as the Pleas
ure boys had not been plucking high
scores the South Bergen team was certain
OF putting another mark in the winning
column. Confidence is q good thing. IL
tells. and many victories have been
achieved by teams who would have been
defeated had they not possessed it. But
over-confiGence is dangerous. 1t leads to
nm under estimate of the strength of the
opposing team, careless play and defeat.
The Atlantas were o~verconfdent and
the cincn did not materiaiize. They went
into the mud aud sank deeply. The
desDfsed Pleasure team administered a
severe drubbing to the visiting team.
They were beaten by 1879 pins. The At
lantas made a fair start. They took the
Pleasures moved TO the from in the Sec
ond frame and then moved further away
with every frame. The Atlantas tried
to rally. but failed. The Pleas
ures had them at the sixth
frame by over a hundred and
they held their rivals easily by that mar
gin. The Pleasures were jubilant over
the victory, and the Atlantis were sur
prised aud disappointed. Only Que man
In the team did better than the $50 mark.
MurthIson played the leading part. Pes
necker. who had an average away up in
the seventies. fell short of the thirty
mark, and Caswell and Blake did not
reach triple figures. The Pleasures
bowled well. H. L. Rohlffs had the top
score, 179, and Fiugge followed with 1874.
Four OF the a were slightly under, but
finished close to the average mark. The

The Palma Club team is an aggrega-

sibly one or two exceptions, has a widely
known reputation as a twirler locally
and the fame of many of them has spread
over several States.
Leuiy, Carter, Meyer, Clarke. Vulter,
Lutz. Hathaway, Entrup, Smith and
Behrens have been seen for years in
numerous tournaments, while Gallagher,

Fred Carter is one of the most reliable
b0wlers in the association. He is keep
ing In good form by frequent practice
and will help the boys nj when neces-
sary. Fred is one man on the team who
never fails to secure a 40 score or over in
every game. This happy faculty of
catching on is peculiarly hls own and a
DARK secret. This Is, however, a good
thing for every bowler to acquire.
John r. smith, more familiarly known
by his legion OF friends as Jack" is a
valuable man on any bowling team, as
he never r~attles. His unflagaing enthu-
siasm Is contagious and keeps the boys
keyed up to the highest pitch. He is a
well trained athlete. and is one OF few
men who can boast that they have never
indulged in intoxlcants or tobacco in any
form. Careful Jack is a south paw

man in Class A. was in fine form last

siderable difficulty in disposing of Coun-
selor Robert Lawrence to whom he con-
cedes 40 points. The counselor had
made so points which, with his
allowance made his total 90. He missed
a difficult shot which would have gwen
him the victory hsd he counted. Staples
by careful play succeeded in reaching th3
Tooth button. Staples other victory was
from II. g. Adams. The latter was al
lowed a discount. Adams was at the
64th button when Staples made the
century button. The other victory was
achieved by Ed Fry, who enjoyed a
handicap of 25 points. His opponent was
was George Bloomburg. The latter lost
a dozen shots through miscues. He had
stacked MP 70 buttons when Adams made
his seyenty-ifth carom, which, with mis-
handicap. gave him the game.
In Class b three games were played,
and ]. Eye, the scratch man. was as sue
cessful as Staples, in Glass A. He was a
triie more so, as he disposed of his rivals
without trouble, and neither got very
close to the end of the string. His first
victim was E.. Hulshizer, who was al
lowed Is points. He had made only %
shots, giving him q total score of 80, when
Eye finished his hundred buttons. The
v~ictor's other opponent vas j. Holmes.
