The Jersey City Young Mems Christian
Associations bowling team met with a
check last night. 1t did not bowl with
its full team of ten. Only eight consti-
tuted the team. The absence of the two
made q difference, as it is with it's COM
plete team that the Association has
achieved its success. The game was
bowled on ths alleys of the Yorkville Y.
NJ. q. A, The Jersey boys bowled, made
q splendid fight, and would have won had
not the home team struck o lucky streak
at the close, and won by the small
majority Of Is pins. The first frame
closed with the Yorkville team ahead by
q solitary pin. The second closed with
the Jersey Citys forty pins ahead. They
maintained this lead until the eighth
frame, when the Yorkville team began to
find the strikes and spares and the eighth
ended with the lead of the Jersey boys
cut down to II. The Yorkvilles doubled
the credits in the ninth and jumped to
the front by 25 pins. In the last frame
the Jersey boys rallied and made a gain
of ten pins. The averages were excellent;
that OF the Jersey City team was 1874 and
the Yorkvilles lacked one pin of being
two points better. Ruddick had the best
score and contributed 1888. Williams,
Ensor and Cornell helped lift the average.
One of the Cramer brothers was the for
tunate man Of the Yorkvilles, and to his
team. He bowled without a break and
made a total of 1913. Three others made
big scores, but the other four fell far
under the average. Another strike or
spare would have given the game to the
Jersey Citys. The score:-

THAT new LEAGUE.
McA1Lister -Jansen's Scheme
Is Not a HoWling
Success.
FIRST VICTORY FOR TIE MACS.
Jersey City Y. NJ. C. AS Team
Beaten-Miller Marksmen
Won.

The scheme to form a league OF the
wealthy athletic clubs and antagonlze
the Amateur Athletic Union Is NOT meet
ing with the enthusiastic response ina
Fred Jansen, the self-constituted
ter of the athletic world, anticipated.
The project is not a new one. When Inc
erudite and aristocratic promoter was
crushed by the Board Of Managers, who
were not in accord with Jansen's erratic
methods, he retired and at once decloed
to retaliate by organizing a body TO De
composed of the big clubs. He supposed
that the vanity of these organizations
would be tickled and they would readily
assent. He was disappointed. he
is persistent, and has renewed ms
attempt to bring about caste n nave
his body of athletic patricians TO RUE one
roost or ignore the athletic plsp1ans III
the present strong and emclent Onion.
Advan proof slips have been klnoiy
sent ms by the editor of the Sporting
Times in which he devotes a column TO an
expose of the scheme. He prints leu
tiers and circulars, and tells Oh the
actual action of the clubs whlch
McAllister Jansen has misrepresented.
Jansen has been industrious recently
aud has written many communications
for publication to boom his league. He
has put on the list of the clubs in sympa,,
thy with him the New York A. G. and
the Manhattan A. G.. The Editor OF the
Times shows that all that either of these
clubs has done has been to appoint a COM
mittee without power to attend the meet
ing and ascertain what the object OF the
new league is. Even the offer to waive
the admission fee Of one hundred
dollars fixed by the McAllister
for clubs becoming charter members
has not been an inducement. In fact, ME-.
McAllister has not answered the letter OF
the New York A. G. written a month ago
in reply to his invitation to unite with
the League, because it was not cheerful
reading. The club positively declined TO
send delegates, but stated that they
would send q committee of enquiry.
