The most exciting game that has bees
bowled by the Y. NJ. c. A. Lsague
teams this season was the contest last
night on the Harlem alleys. The Jersey
City team went over there TO q Z two
league games and were not disappointed.
It was a hard struggle in the first game.
The lead had fascinated but the home
team felt easy in the eighth frame, when
they held their opponents by 80 pins. The
Jersey Joys gashed 1t in the ninth n
gained twenty. The Harlemites opened
the final frame with a lead of a dozen.
The Jersey boys continued to gain aud
when the tenth frame closed the teams

The struggle in the individual bowling
tournament at the Nonpareil alleys has
aroused extraordinary interest. The al
leys were packed last night with enthusi-

Dippel succeeded in gaining a point and
tied Casey for first place. This put
Casey on his mettle and he pegged at the
pins for a.couple of hours. He succeeded
in making a total of 81 with ten balls,
and this gave him the advantage again
by two points. Dippel stuck to his task,
but failed to get better than IS. He did
not abandon the attempt until worn out.

that the Twenty-third street team which

the Jersey City team, which won the hon

been declined. as the Jersey City boys
have had a surfeit of bowling and are
now out. They reluctantly entered the
