KNOCKING DOWN PINS.
Chat of the Alleys With Incidents
of Practice and Games.

AInleClC CluD naVe peeu uOiuR Ilteic WIN
during the past week. The members of
the league team nave been practicing
quietly, and some fine scores have been
put up. The members of the teams now
battling for supremacy are in fine form
and intend breaking team records on the
club alleys.
L. r.. Rule is looked upon as a phenom-
nal bowler. Although Mr.. Rule is a be-
ginner he puts up a game of $50 with
ease. He smashes the pins for strikes
every time, and rarely makes q break
that deprives him of a spare.
Leon Schemerhorn, one of the easiest
bowlers in tne club, has been confined to
his bed for the past two weeks with Il
severe cold. Last night he put in an APP
pearance and surprised his friends by
putting up some rafting scores. With a
weeks practice Schermerhorn will be
prepared to try conclusions with Gardner
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
sliding to scratch.
Captain Hewettson, of team No. 6, has
gone to pieces. He is rolling in hard luck.
The success of his team depends largely
upon his work.
Trustee Wins has mastered a curve

make effective. Like Superintendent
Henly, he rolls a grand stand game.
Vice President S. r. Finney glories in
the fact that he has at last succeeded in
putting uD a score of $50; all his friends
are happy.
George Hogg is carrying off all the
honors at the club as a bowler.
A. G. Grabs is bowling in fine form.
Scores of 15O are pnt up with ease.
Hudson County Wheelmen Bowling.
1t is stated ON good authority that
Treasurer Eveland is in practice for a
game. with doc" 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.
champions, is looming up in fine form
and great things are expected OF him.
There is talk OF a match between billy"
HuSon aud Bowman. Long odds are
laid on Bowman. Huson knows how a
ball should be rolled, but has consider
able difficulty in reducing his theory to
| practice.
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 Dowl on Guests alleys. He
rarely puts up scores of more than so,
but it is amusing to see him slap his leg
and eXclaim something that sounds like
an obstacle to water when his ball rolls
down the gutter. He is hopeful that he
will soon put up a good game. but his ex-
peDses so far would almost cover the cost
of an ordinary alley.
Captain Huson cannot understand how
his men make such phenomenal high
scores in practice games and such low
ones in match games. Huson should re-
member that he sets his men a very bad
example by doing himself what he finds
fault with in them.
"Doc" Mclaughlin cannot find any
sport in bowling. It's too much like
work.
B.. Van Beuren virtually ''eats'' spares
that other bowlers think impossible.
Tenny's Poet Spins a Bali.
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 an arrow straight and tall,
While the crowd admir- d his beauty" ball
Go sliding down the alley.
But, alas! Poor Captain Corcoran,
The battle was los t and not yet won,
For the best he could make was ninetY-one,
On Muller's tricky alleys.
1t was Jack Smiths graceful deliver y
that led the poet of the Tennys to evolve
theiabove stanza from his brilliant but
cratic Uranium.
The Tennys were again beaten by the
Oritani's of Hackensack Friday night.
To the presence of a large number of
Hackenssck's fairest among the spec
tators urging the Oritanis on to victory Is
attributed in q 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 "The Chauncey Depew of
| the Tennys." His articulation of poly
| syllables'' were 'clean out OF sight," say
the boys.
'tBristles' Jordan was very much
affected by the presence of SO many fair
spectators at the game with the Oritanis
DADDY Nolan Muller, the man with
the portfolio whiskers, and Mr.. 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 c~rack-a-jacks next season.
Captain Jack Smith, Of the Tennys, is
NA y 49, 40 o
the side ball racket as he used to, and
is piling up more of his original scores.
