Leaders in Luek-They Won a Game by
One Point.
The leaders OF the athletic bowling,
the New York Athletic Club. are bowling
strong and playing In extraordinary luck.
They were fortunate last season and won
the championship at the very close Of the

they captured by a solitary pin. Their
great rival, the Manhattan A. c., fell
further away in the race. They were at
Roseville last night and the home team

bowling. The games scheduled for this

margin of only three pins.

will go to Orange this evening and meet
the Orange A. C's team. The Jersey
City boys have not lost hopes of getting
one of the honors in the league. The
splendid effort in their last engagement.
when two substitutes were on the team,
has had a happy effect and has stimulat-
ed the team and the enthusiasts. Their
top score will probably not be equalled
this season.
