"Laine says that course OF rocking

The Columbia Club of Hoboken bowled
three games Saturday night in the Ath-
letic League series with the Montclair
Athletic Club at Montclair, which result
ed in the triple success Of Columbia. The
Hoboken bowlers rolled In great form
and surprised their followers probably
as much as the Montclairs by their won
derful work with the ball. The Column
bias were beaten in their three previous
games at home and probably determined
to get even one someone else. The work
was well begun in the first contest and
continued with an increase of skill in each
succeeding one. Montclair came the near
est to a victory in the opening contest,
as they were only beaten II points. The
second game resulted in the humiliation
of the Montclairs and the agony was
piled on thicker than ever in the third
game. The Columbias made a remark
ably clever record. one that has not been
surpassed this season in the league. The
bowling of AXE Leuly was a revelation.
He exercised a wonderful power with the
ball and started in the first game with
a score of III. In the second he sent his
figures to 210 and in the third the pins
fell for a total of 205. Keller also dis
played unusual ability and closed mis-
series with a fine average. For the home
team Thompson and Lockwood were lead
