The New Jersey section of the Amer
lean Amateur Bowling Union has COM
pleted all necessary plans for the pre-
liminary tournament. Six clubs will
strive for a place in the final tourna-
ment. They are as follows:-Alpha,
America, Berkeley and Riversides of
Newark, Lindens of G~reenville and
Arlingtons of Arlington. The four New
ark clubs will roll on the Sanger's Hall
alleys. The other two clubs will play
a home-and-home series. Each club has
been assessed IS. and the $50 will be di-
vided into prizes as follows:-Ten dollars
to the first team and high average in
dividual bowler, and IS to the second
team and bowler making the most num-
Der of spares. No player will be allowed
to win two prizes. The following officers
have been eleeted:-W. L. Muehmore,
Chairman; William F. Corrigan, Secre-
tary; Leon L. Otto, William +. Corri-
gan and c. Edward Rail. Schedule Com
mittee. The opening gane will be rolled
at Edinger's alley, Greenville, tonight be-
tween the Lindens and the Arlingtons.
The Valencia Boat Club of Hoboken
has organized a bowling club with the
following oficers:-President, H. Sunkier;
Treasurer, A. Walseheid; Secretary, E.
Herbert, and Captain, E. Maine.
There will be no Young Mems Chris
tian Association League this season. A
meeting was held last week to organize
a league, but it proved unsuccessful.
Like in all Y. NJ. C. A. athletic work,
the members are playing with the crack
clubs, and do not care for the Y. NJ. c.
a. further than to receive their train
ing there. This, however, does not APP
ply to Jersey City. The local Y. NJ. C.
A. has an excellent lot of bowlers who
stick by the association. If a league
were organized Jersey City could make
the other associations hustle.
Joseph F4loramo of the Lindens will
make a strong bid for the prize for the
highest average in the New Jersey sec
ton of the American Amateur Bowl
ing Union series. Filoramo is rolling in
great form. and a 200 score is easy to
him.

continued until a late hour. An orches-
ira Of six pieces ~enlivened the occasion
with sweet music, and "mein host" Bay
liss satisfied the inner man with a fine
supper. 1.-The tables were decorated with
flowers, but this did not detract the at
eentior of he bowlers from the good
things" which were made to disappear

why is it that a league has not been
organized in Jersey City," said a we'll
known bowler recently. There are near
Iy fifty teams in the city, and it seems
strange that with so many bowlers the
city is without a league. A number of
clubs have Joined out-of-town leagues,
and yet none of them can arouse suffi-
cient energy to organize a local league"
Bay View Lodge, F. & A. NJ, has or
ganized a bowling team, n on every
Tuesday evening the members develop
muscle for initiation purposes at Edin-
gers alleys.
