the league team have been practicing
quietly, and some fine scores have been
put up. The members of the teams now
battling for supremacy are IN line form
and intend breaking team records on the
club alleys.
Il. r. Rule is looked upon as a phenom-
email bowler. Although Mr.. Rule is be-
ginner he puts up game of $50 with
ease. He smashes the pins for strikes
every time, and rarely makes q break
thar deprives MIN of q spare.
Leon Schemerhorn. one OF the easiest
bowlers in the club, mas been confined to
his bed for the past two weeks with
severe cold. Last night he put in an ap-
pearance and surprised his friends by
putting up some rafting scores. With
weeks practice Schermerhorn will be
prepared to try conclusions with Gard ner
and Ives, OF the Palma Club.
Mr.. William Doubleday Is rolling in
good time.
Jack" Watson is kicking because he
wears out the toes Of all his shoes in

gone to pieces He is rolling in hard luck.
The success of his team depends largely
upon his work.

Treasurer Eveland is in practice for
game with "Doco Benedict. Much
amusement is afforded lockers on when
these favorites begin pounding the pins.
Scores of 70 and so are put up with great
regularity
Bowman. one of the clubs racing
champions, is looming up in fine form
and great things are expected of HIM.
There is talk of a match between Billy"
Huson and Bowman. Long odds are
/ laid on Bowman. Huson knows how
| ball should be rolled, but has consider
! able difficulty in reducing his theory TO
| practice.
4 A G. Lancy is putting up some excel
| lene scores. He rolls an effective cross
| ball and backs away from scratch until
| he clears the alleys. He is following
| Frank Muller's style.
Bob McNaughton furnishes plenty
OF amusement for his friends when he at
tempts to bowl on Guests alleys. He
rarely puts up scores of more than so.
but 1t is amusing to see him slap his leg
and exclaim something that sounds like
an obstacle to water when his pail rolls
down the gutter He IS hopeful that ne
will soon put up good game. but his ex-
penses so far would almost cover the COST
of an ordinary alley.
Captain Huson cannot understand how
his men make such phenomenal high
in mrs On ri lrfu
ones in match games. Huson should re-
membe that he sets his men very bad
example by doing himself what he finds
fault with in them.
1 doc" Mclaughlin cannot find any
sport in bowling. It's too much like
work.
3. Van Beuren virtually EATS spares
that other bowlers think impossible.
Tenny's Poet spins Dali
A certain young man from Pinafore
Undertook to bowl the highest score
That ever was made on earth before
On Muller,s tricky alleys
He stood erect against the wall.
Just like arrow straight and taA
While the crowd admir- his beauty ball
Go sliding down the alley
But, alas Poor Captain Corcoran,
The battle was lost and not yet won,
For the best he could make WAS ninety-ones
On Mullers tricky alleys.
1t was Jack Smiths graceful deliver v
that led the poet of the Tennys to evolye
tneiabove sranZa from his brilliant but
erratic Uranium.
The Tennys were again beaten by the
Oricani's of Hackensack Friday night.
To the presence of a large number of
Hackensack's fairest among the SPEC
tators urging the Oritanis on 20 victory is
attributed in a very large measure the
Tenny's second defeat at the hands of the
Way Backs.
The after dinner speech made by Little
Tommy the four foot bowler, at Hacken-
sack Friday night, has won for him the
soubriquet OF 1.-The Chauncey Depew of
| the Tennys." His articulation of poly
syllables'' were ''clean out OF sight," say
| the boys.
'sBristles'' JORDAN was very much
affected by the prese nee of so many fair
spectators at the game with the Oritanis
Friday evening.
s'Daddy Nolan, Muller, the man with
the portfolio whisKers. and MIR. Andy
Smith, it IS said. are open for an engage
meut to bowl any two men from ST.
Francis Hospital.
Gus johnson has been recently elected
a member of the Tenuys, and judging
from his first two games, It looks as
though he is destined TO become one of
the crack-a-jacks next season.
CAPTAIN Jack Smith, of the TENNIS, is
rounding all right again. He is using
the side ball racket as he used TO, ana
is piling up more OF his original scores.
