ville-Bayo nne Bowling League are nav
ing an exceedingly lively time and IL Is
hia hlY probable that at the next meeting
of the league an effort will be mad TO
disband the organization.
Ever since the league was organized
there have been eruptions, and more
than once it looked as though it wouia
be impossible to avoid a lively row. The
league was organized for the purpose OF
determining which amateur athletic OF
bowling club of Greenville or Bayonne
had the best aggregation OF crack
bovlers. The clubs that joined the league
were the Puritan ana Garfield Athietic
Gibbs and the Friendly Bowling
Club of Greenville and the iroquois AN
letic Club of Bayonne. a scheouie OF
games was ARRANGED and adopted. Inc
series was IN exciting one. The ciuDs
were so evenly matched that when tne
last ball was rolled the four CLUBS hso
tied, each having Won and LOST three
games.
lied by members who left the Puritan A,
O.. had remarkable luck during the
series and although ls team put up
low scores, still the opposing team RoL
even a lower total.
MAD AS
This made the Puritan boys as mad as
disturbed hornets, and whenever tue TWO
teams met every man bowled as though
his life depended on the result. Inc
Friendly's naturally became enthused at
their good luck, and and at each match
game the members gave vent TO tnelr
enthusiasm by shouting and yeiilng. lac
Garfield A. G. team when IL DoNlea lns
Eriendly objected TO the Yelling. and
made an effort to stop 1t. But 1t was no
use. in fact the Friendlys yelled all the
more. The result was that the GarnetoS
became bitter enemies OF the F~riendiys:
The storm did not break, however, untll
the series came to a close, and an ateenpg
was made to decide how the tie should
be rolled off.
A meeting to arrange the matter was
held on Thursday evening at Metropoli-
tan Hall.
Whenever there is a bowling league
the matter is usually settled, Dy. only

the tie The Garfields n snr,Iahs,
however, Matched a scheme TO 40" tns
Friendlys. The clubs In question decided
that they would vote to have an entirely
new series of games arranged: Iney
argued that the FriendlYs would not De
favored with such good u as In the
previous series. and consequently eou1o
NOT come ont on top.
The Friendlys heard of the scheme be-
fore the meeting was called TO order and
SET work to win over the delegates OF the
Iroouois A. c.. The Bayonne bowlers,
however, refused to make any promises.
The meeting was called to order q a
motion to arrange an entirely new series OF
econded. The Friendly delegates OBJ
Iected and said this would be unfair.
They, however, thought the lroquois
delegates would vote with them, and al
lowed the matter to be put to a vote.
OUT IN THE COLD.
When the votes were counted 1t was
found that the IroQuUis boys voted with
the Garields and Purltans and that the
Trlendlys were left out in the cold.
The Frieudlys then declared that they
would not roll in the new series. and 1t
looked as though a row would surely en-
sue. Wiser counsel, however, prevailed,
and upon the suggestion of one OF the
delegates the matter was again opened
for discussion. It was then decided to lay
the matter oyer until the next meeting,
which will be held at Metropolitan Hail
this evening. It is doubtful II the clubs
will come Co an agreement.
One member OF the frlencly Team
when interviewed by a reporter OF LIE
JERSEY CITY NEWS said:
THE scheme to roll an entirely new
series of games is unjust. The other
clubs are determined TO knock us out
and are adopting this plan to do 1t. do
not see why any more games than enough
to decide The tie, should be rolled. The
other clubs, however. are Jealous OF us as
thew expected to have a waikoyer when
they met us. We will fight the matter to
1he end"
The row is causing considerable ex-
element in athletic circles in G~reenviile
and Bayonne, and is being watched with
no little interest.
