-Princeton's Football Team.

Like the calm that follows the storm, it
has been very quiet and tame at the
Palma Club since the protracted jubilee.
1t is exceedingly duh in the bowling
branch. There is enough interest in indi-
vidual games and life In the two classes
or clubs that nave been formed, but the
bowlers have not attained that point
where they ara anxious to talk champion
ship meetings and match games. 10
arouse them the committee has issued
the following address,
1.-The Bowling Committee desire to call
the attention of all members to the fact
that the alleys are low open and ready
for business. Many repairs ave been
made to them during the pas summer,
n the are now in excellent condition.
A club tournament for prizes is being ar
ranged, to be held during the latter part
of the month. All members desiring TO
enter the same should send their names
TO the committee.
"rhe' championship games of the ANA
teur Bowling Association will commence
early in November. The Palma CLUB
will be represented therein by a team of
ten (10) men. Every member is eligible
for a place on the team, provided his work
on the alleys shows him TO be competent.

should not be longer delayed, in order
that the team selected to represent the
club may consist of strong players in
good bowling form. Bowling is u health
full exercise, and it is hoped that all
members be induced to give the alleys an
occasional trial.
Individual clubs will be formed of
members who will meet on certain desig-
mated nights of each week during the en-
tire season. A club has already been or
ganized to be known as the Thursday
Nights" consisting of Messrs. Nelson
Hathaway, W. C. Post, g. w. Carter. +.

"Auy M or members desiring to
organize a ike club may do so u3on ap-
pllcation to the Bowling Committee who
will designate the evening when they
can meet weekly and the alleys which
Will be reserved for their USE"
This mad the desired effect in a measure,
as instantly d Friday night club was
formed by DR.. Edge, Fred Carter, john H.
Gallagher. James Hansell, James Cop
sill, Ed. Vultee and others. In fact, they
have over thirty on the roll, and outnum
Der the Thursday Nighters by a dozen.
They are too numerous, ana the class Or
club will be divided and a class formed
for some other night. 1t will be a fort
night or more before the bowlers are
tuned up to the proper pitch. The arm

practice. The committee anticipate that
the interest will not be less than it
was last season. The committee has re-
Trained from taking action on the chal-
lenge of the Jersey City Athletic Club
because the bowlers have been apathetic.
The series OF games will undoubtedly be
played but not as an opening event. They
will come together later in the season
when the oowlers have on their working
Clothes. The Palmas like the Jersey City
"A. G. have decided not to take part this
season in the tournament of the Bowling
Union. There was a surfeit OF 1t last
year. Too much travelling and getting
nome lite. The men were weary of it
before The final contests were held.
The finals were howled at Harlem and
the members were Disguised with the
long journey to meet a large crowd that
constantly irritated visiting teams. The
Palmas will have a team in the Associa-
tion and hope this season to get first
place.
The Bowling Committee of the Jersey
City A. G. are elated over the enthusiasm
OF the bOwlers. They have offered as a
season a group of Rogers statuary.
There will be a match game between the
Big Hive and a picked team next Satur-
day night. The Chairman of the Bowl
ing Committee will select the picked
team. A lively time is anticipated.
