veterans on the alleys, who have been
tried and not found wanting. Tney VIII
make a vigorous fight IN the Union TOUR
nanent for the Herald prizes. a
Two lightning bowlers are CnarlIe
LANCE and Warren Vreeland. They are
terrors to the alley boys and veritaple pin
killers.
Joe Farmer and "My Friend Jack"keep
almost in as close proximity as the iau.-
Gus historical Siamese p~ersonasesI
Powers don't mind it in the least;
Vultee and Gopsill maintain a ike re-
lationship ana where Que goes, there goes
the other. When not together each 10
generally engaged looking for the oIher.
If the Union could la secured Tue
! Palma alleys for the big Herald Jour
ney," what q glorious lighting grouno ~
would be. But, of course, this would hoC
be allowed by the club, and such "
! proposition would not be entertained.
Lewey O'Neill and Alley Ross are en-
thusiastic Palma men, who occaslonallv
are seen on the alleys. The former Is an
expert high kicker and has a CarmenclCa
delivery. Abey is more conservative, ouo
Lewey says ''he is right in IT. ana NAV
settles 1t.
Many of the old time contingent still
practice their favorite pas.ime, ana can
give some of the ''stars" points. Wnat
the matter with Behrens, Gallagher nan.
sell, Winter, Bloomsbury and Daliey?
Not muchl All of them are sK'lilul
m~anipulators, and never hesltate 10
tackle any of the champions.
George Brown and Mackellar, OF tne
Newark Bay Boat Clubs big Five" are
also good Palma members who have done
excellent service on the Association team
this season. George is Familiarity known
as .Twister." Mac and George are very
popular.
Palma has again won second place In
the Amateur Bowling Association Jour
nament, and will add another prize TO us
large collection. Always second and
never first-where's the Jonah?
Charlie Henderson,. Judge Lockwood,
Lew Bettcher. Ed Elkins and Judge
Clark are all bowlers. but have been
somewhat luke warm in their interest III
the alleys recently. They are always on
offered to try their strength in a club
contest for prizes. Henderson is a mascot
on any team. He has won a barrel OF
prizes.
Palma's "Big Five'' have challenged
any six members Of the club to bowl
against them. They will be accommo,
dated, and after being jumped on several
times they will begin to realize that there
are "a few more left" who can bowl a
little.
Willie Machold, Entrup and Leu]y
come all the way from HoboKen ana
never miss any entertainment IN tne
club. Their greatest interest centres IN
the alleys.
James Clarke, Joe Harrison, Teddy
Shaw, Sam Hathaway. Jack Rich and
Archie Baldwin never fail TO attend a
bowling match in which a Palma team Is
contesting. They are great "rooters"
and all are reliable players.
The most scientific and artistic "rootern
of them all is genial Darby Crandall. 1t
%zIxo. ,,oieo a1,1o1 RI tho hnrSfip0 nf a
thousand ton gun to drown Darby's vocal
gymnastics. John McCloskey and Lew
Miller should also be classed with the
''rooters." They are good ones, too.
The neat little score cards prepared by
Secretary Frank Baldwin have filled a
long felt want and were used extensively
during the season.
Doctors Holcombe and W. A. Durrie,
Jr., consider bowling a healthful pastime
and indulge in it freely. DR.. Clarke is
also of the same opinion and owns q prl-
vate ball.
John and Frank Menagh, Hen. Roster
and VIII Seely learned to bowl several
years ago. They take pleasure in watch
ing a game from the balcony, but seldom
bowl.
Sam Hathaway. Chairman of the Bowl
ing Committee. predicts that the big
Five" with ordinary luck, will surely
win the Herald cup.
Tom Bedle il q careful and graceful
bowler, while Ed. Smiths style is very
much admired.
Fred Jeanne of the Bowling Committee
and his brother Frank are faithful Pal
MATES. When at home they spend all of
their time at the club, but business re-
quires them to be ION the road" consider
ably and their absence at all times is felt.
Both are pin FOUNDERS.
The excellent work done by the team
players in match games this season is re-
markable. The phenomenal average of
Henry Lutz, Palma's favorite twirler, ex-
ceeds the best average made in the Ath-
letic League of five men teams. Lutz
has bowled 90 match games thus far, II of
which were with the five men team in the
Union series. and twelve with the ten
men team in the Association series. His
average for the 20 games is 175 5-23. while
that of James Carter of the N. Y. A. c..
high man in the Athletic League for 90
games was 173. Leuly has also secured q
splendid average. The subjoined table
