IN the Jersey City Athletic Clubs alleys,
His score was sixteen better than two
hundred. It was lucky for the home team
that he made his handsome total. II was

They were anxious to square accounts
with the Jersey Citys for having thrashed
the Hackeusack bays on their " alleys,
They started out TO do It. In the third
frame they had a LEAD OF fifty-six.
That was as high "a they got. In the
next frame they slipped bacS slightly,
but had the advantage of IS pins. In the

and were only 5 points in the rear. Tn g
home team continued to gain and the
sixth frame closed with Jersey City in
front by Z pins. In the nexr frame the
eighth, but made a gain in the ninth,
when the 0ritanis rolled poorly q the
totals gave the home club a lead OF &C.
That settled the tame. The Hackensack
boys made a splendid finish and gained
80. IL was not enough.
The Jersey Citys did not have oct their
best team. Schultz, Olmsted, Cnrran
and Davis aid not bowl. The substitutes
