BOWLING FOR HONORS.
A Glance at the Field in
League and Associa-
tion-0ther Sports.

The independently victory over the At
lantas has given the Greenville team a
decided lead in the Jersey City Amateur
Bowling League race. The indications
point to the championship again going to
the Greenvillians. The team now has a
record Of IL victories and 4 defeats. 1t
has nine games to play. -Four OF these
win be at home, and the visiting teams
will be the Century. Atlanta, Paramount
and Pleasure clubs. These games tney
will undoubtedly win. They have hve
engagements abroad and the Fairmounts ,
Pleasures, Pin Knights, Volunteers an d
Centurys will be their rivalS The y
ought 10 win three OF these games an
this will give them tue first Eonors.
These predictions are based on the form
in which the several clubs have been
rolling. II the Independents lose
their grip or some OF the
other close to the top improve, the
result will be in doubt; a careful study Oh
the situation must bring one to the con-
victlon that the prize will 60 to Green
Vile. Its closest follower is the Volunteer
team. II has been doing excellent work,
and the team has not abandoned rope OF
reaching first place. The Volunteers seem
10 a v astronger team, individually than
the leaders, but their work as a team has
not been as steady, and the scores have
1AA~I ~ 80 RtA-
highest total in the contests and came
precious near making the lowest. IL Is
two games behind the leaders In games
Won and has one more defeat. Its record
is nine games won aud five lost. the At
Iantas are third with s victories and q de-
feats, and the Pin knights are next with
z victories n s defeats. Each has en-
tered a protest against a game going to the
credit OF the Century club and expect TO be
credited with the game by forfeit De-
cause the Century played men h II IS
claimed, were not OF the list. IL seems 10
have been a misunderstanding or a failure
of a letter to carry. Some players OF the
Century, who were released, were again
signed aun bowled with the team. The
Knights protest embraces a claim that
the score IS erroneous and that they won
by nine pins instead of being defeated by
Que pin. II these protests are allowed, it
will make the Atlantas again formidable
in the race. The Fairmounts have won 9
aud lost 5, the Pleasures have won 3, in
Gliding a forfeited game, and lost 9, aud
the Centurys have won 4 and lost 10.
Palma has a comfortable advantage in
the Amateur Bowling Association with
seven victories and one defeat. The Eliza
beth A. G.. is second, with two games less
in the column Of victories and one greater
in the column of defeats. The contest Is
between these W teams. The Jersey
City Athletic team is in third place., ana
may advance, but it is dubious. Tney
made rapid strides in the Athletic League,
and when they appeared 10 be beaten and
out of the race they rallied and went to
the front. 1t Is not likely that they
will duplicate the performance in
the association. The team mas four
victories and three defeats. Staten
Island follows with an ever string of
victories and defeats, three buttons in
each. Riverside is next with 3 victories
and 4 defeats. Oritani has won 8 4 and en-
Joys the distinction Of being the only
team which has defeated the Palmas.
The Haekensack boys have met with 5
reverses. The New Jersey A. G.. is last
with z defeats. 1t has not experienced
the thrilling sensation arising from a
victory.
close n between the Jersey City A. c.
and the New York A. G. The Manhattan
A. c. is well up, and is still In che hunt
Tor the championship. The Jersey City
A. G. leads with IL games won and 5 lost.
They are one point better of than the
New Yorks in each column. The Jersey
BOY have q hard Tow to hoe this
week. They meet the New Yorks OF the
home alleys tonight and tomorrow night
bowl on the Manhattan's alleys. II
they win tonight it will about
settle the race. If they lose it will be diff
hcult to overtake the winning team. The
Manhattans are regarded as possible win
ners with Is victories and Q defeats. II the
Jersey Citys are successful ow
night then Manhattan will be out of the
race. Roseviile is fourth with 10 games
won an IL defeats. North End and Staten
Island books balance with IL each. Orange
has won 4 and lost Is and Montclair has
won 3 andlost 10.
