Many who do Not.
There is so much competition between
the wheelmen bowlers of the Jersey City
Athletic Club and the Hudson County
Wheelmen. that q series of games or an
Individual tournament are not at all i'm
probable.
A party of the Hudson County boys
visited the Brooklyn Wheelmen Friday
evening, and after rolling several games.
In which they failed to become vlctors,
partook of a beautiful repast. An enjoy
able time was had by everyone.
Bob McNaughton is bowling in fine
form.
Leaycraft of the Jersey City Athletic
Club bowling division is said to be suffer
ing from the grip. 1t is to be hoped that
he will be in form before another match
is played.
Meyer is bowling an unusually heavy
game.
Treasurer overland is learning to
guide a light sphere quite well.
BILLY" Huson is hopeful that his fol-
lowers will keep up their good bowling
and put the Hudson County boys aver
age up in the race. Huson is putting up
some fine scores aud is setting an excel
len example for his team.
The team work Of the Jersey City Ath-
letic Club Wheelinen is far superior to
that of the Hudson County boys. Indi-
vidually, however, the Hudson County
boys put up better scores.
President Hitler. of the Jersey City
Athletic Club, delivers q ball very grace
fully for u novice.
Vice President Finney is bowling a
strong game and IS twisting the sphere
in fine form. He cracks the pins to tie
tune of about $50 in practice games.

Wheeling Division, is one OF the cleverest
bowlers in the club.

ing in hard luck. He can usually be re-
lied upon for 145 points in a match game
when he is in good form.
Frank Cleveland of the J. G. A. G. is a
novice at bowling. He is hiding out
that it costs a small fortune to be able to
stick up strikes occasionally.

tered the feat of keeping balls out of the
cutters. He contracted this bad habit
from bob" M~cNaughton.
