MANLY SPORT IN GENERAL

The District Amateur Bowling League
has been reorganized for the season Of
1886 and third annual tournamen
The league, as now organized, is COM
posed of the Carroll Institute, the Young
Mems Catholic Club and the Washington
Athletic Club, and the officers and dele
gates are: Francis A. w. Van Reuth, Y. NJ
c. c.. president; Charles Howison, w. A. c.,
vice president Anthony F. Rice, c. l., sec
retary-treasurer. Delegates: Carroll Insti-
tute. Anthony F. Rice, Albert Schulteis and
Joseph Brazerol; Young Mems Catholic
Club, Francis A. w. Van Reuth, Jos. F.
Hill and Bernard Lehman, and the Wash
ington Athletic Club, Charles Howison,
Fred Litchfield and James Martin.
The seasons schedule calls for forty-esht
games, and the contest will open Tuesday
evening, November 49, at the Young Mems
Catholic Club with the team of the Carroll
Institute as the opponents. Each match
will consist of two games an evening.
The bowling rules of the previous tourna-
ments will be observed with but one slight
innovation, and that is this: In case a
bowler does not make a strike or a
spare" in a frame" he will be allowed to
roll only two balls in that frame. AS a
matter of fact, this rule is of little or no
consequence to an expert bowler. or even
fairly good bowler, for if he succeeds in
making in each frame (ten in alb strike
in the frame in which he breaks where he
stands to lose the pins left standing after
rolling two balls. good bowler in prac-
tice will not average more than two or
three breaks" to a game.
The league has made an important and
busineSs-lke amendment to its bylaws,
which is to the effect that hereafter no
bowling team will be admitted to the
league which does not represent a bona
tide club, properly organized in every par
ticular, and the members of which must
have the exclusive use and control of its
club alleys.
For this season the league does assured
ly start out with bright prospects.
All the clubs will have preliminary con-
tests to determine the personnel of the
teams which will continue for two or three
weeks to come These contests are show
ing up in more spirited manner than
ever before. 1t is safe to predict that sew
eral teams will have one or more new
boWlerS on each to face the foot line
on opening night.
The preliminary contests now going on
at the Carroll Institute are decidedly in
teresting, as the aSpirants are numerous
and enthusiastic. and we'll they are, for
the institute has just completed a fine pair
of up-to-date alleys. The members bowled
on them for the first time Wednesday
evening of last week. So far the alleys
show up satisfactory in every particular,
and no doubt whatever. with the test made,
is felt but that they will. as to workman
ship. quality. smoothness and exact true
ness. prove to be equal to the best
a number of creditabie games have al
ready been rolled these alleys, and up
to this time Tony Rice leads all of his
club associates and rivals for a team po-
sition with the fine single score of o,s
pins.
The members of the institute feel that
they have at last got set of alleys which
will prove to be the pride of their organi-
cation
