A TELLING DEFEAT
The Lindens' Downfall May
Put them Our of the
A. A. B L. Finals.
FARMERS WIN THE SERIES
The GreenyilIe Rifle Club Again
Triumphs Over the Champion
Empires.
FARMERS WIN THE SERIES

The L,ndens of Greenville received a
setback last night in the first game OF
the roll off to decide the tie in the New
Jersey section of the AZ A. B. u, which
greatly reduces their chances of reaching
the finals of the union. The game was
rolled on Rubenstein's alley in Newark,
and the team that gave the Lindens a
black eye was the crack America, last
years championship team. The Lindens
had what they called their strongest.
team out. A glance at the score shows
that either the Lin6ens m~isjuGged the
abilities Of some of its players or that
certain men were not in fit form to roll
in a contest where SO much IS at take.
It is true that Holden and Paulson, two
of sthe best men that ever faced a maple
triangle, were on the team, but neither of
these cracks made above an average
score. When they failed It was useless
for the Lindens to hope for victory.
when their opponents were sailing up
in the seventeen hundred and fifty class,
Bucky Franz, the old reliable, stood by
the sinking ship, and did his share
towards a possible victory. Chesterfield
and Stein were with him, but the others,
with the exception of Dickson, were
simply not in it. Charley Herig made
a surprisingly low score, and Jack Perry
kept him mpa Vassar's low score
was due to an accident which he met in
the fifth frame. In sizing up the pms
the ball struck his ankle, breaking the
member. He pluckily rolled the remain
ing frames, although every move of the
leg gave him intense pain.
The Americas met with no accidents,
however. They won the game easily,
and at no time were in danger of losing
it. Their last five men put up a remark
able total, and hammered the pins for
keeps. On Saturday night the Lindens
will roll their last game in thes roll-off
series with the Riversides on the same
alleys. If they lose they will be out of
the race for good, but if they win they
still may land in second place. Follow
ing is the score of last nights game

Crack Empires.

The crack eight men team of the Green
vile Rifle Club ~journeyed to New York
last evening, accompanied by a large
delegation of club members, to shoot
the second match in the series with the
Empire Rifle Clubs cracks, the Mid

very close and exciting, the GreenvIlle
boys winning by but five points. The
scores were high, the G~reenville's aver

an average of an even 238. Mike Dorrler

An exciting match game was rolled
al Schmidts Ocean avenue alleys last
evening between the Celeryites of Green
vile and the Progressive Club of New
ark. Both of these teams are in the
sport for all the fun they can get out
of it. and last nights contest was more
of a love feast than a match game. The
Celeryites were beaten, but they made
their opponents hustle to win. The game
was nip and tuck up TO the last frame,
when the Progressives piled up double
headers in heart breaking style. Eddie
Bischof, Captain of the Celeryites, set
an example to his team, which, if fol

total of 225. and in order to reach that
total he had to wind up with q triple
header. j. Schloss, of the Progressives,

Schmidt provided an excellent supper,
which was a welcome feature to the

for ~thirty-four, and the yietors and van
made merry until a late hour. Free

and he filed the office with honor. The
Freebooter can always be relied upon
when humlor is wanted, and he kept the
wit on top until the feast was brought
to a close. Louis Scheid, the popular
catcher of the Elizabeth A G., who can
manipulate the harmonica better than
any other man in the State, played a
number of selections. His rendition of
the High School Cadets" a most diff
cult selection for the harmoniea, was
excellent. Patsy Higgins told funny
stories in his inimitabse style, and Pete
Crumwell, the hurnorists was as funny
Fairbanks, of the Progressive Club, also
contributed to. the fun. When the merry
making was brought to a close the Pro-
gressives voted the Celeryites most ex-
eelient entertainers, and gave three cheers
and a tiger to demonstrate their appre-
citation of the evenings enjoyment. Fol-
lowing is the score of the match game
