been disbanded. The union received its
death blow at a meeting of delegates
held recently, when It vas proposed Bto

it's members three bowlers who com-
peted in cash prize leagues. p9Conse-
quently when it was discovered at,l}the
meeting that one of the clubs had re-
ceived cash as a prize a howl went up
which resulted in the ~dfsbandment of the
union. The offending club, it was al
legged. was the America club of Newark.
The club won the championship, OF the
New Jersey sections and received a sum
of nor for which i was directsd to
purchasing a trophy used the money in
defraying the expenses of it's team to
Canada to compete in the final cnam-
