THE LEAGUE BATTLE
The Winning Teams Last
Night We're Linden, Teu-
tonia and Dooless.
THE CONTESTS WERE CLOSE
Catholic Club Cyclers Won in New
York -Niantic's Euchre Stag
-0n the Range-Ex-
perts at Checkers.

Another week was ushered in the Jer-
sey City League with a series of very
interesting contests or the alleys. At
Woods Hail a hot race ensned between
the Dooless team and the Puritan Ath-
letic Association of Greenville. The visi-
tors developed a lively streak of bowling
and kept their opponents busy. In the
first game the Dooless Club gained a
prominent advantage before the contest
was very far advanced and led the Puri-
tans with a margin they were unable to
overcome. The home bowlers developed
a high average and each member put up
a good score, which sent the team total
far beyond the, figures so customary in
team matches. Ryan and Appman were
the high mark men, The Puritans did
better than any of the other visiting
teams in the contests last night and ex-
celled the average mark. The bowling
of Prior and Cathcart was a feature.
Both beat the double century. Had the
things would have been different for Doc
less. The latter. however, won by 81
pins. While the home bowlers had a
soft time In the first game they had their
work cut out from the start in the second.
The Puritans bowled down the pins and
pounded over the credits, leading the
home bowlers in the work cut out and
there was lots Of excitement. The home
bowlers were not to be denied, however,
although very much worried, and in the
final frames they pulled together and
with an increased score the Puritans were
losers to the extent of IS pins. 1t was the
narrowest margin made at Woods Hall
this season. The Puritans rolled a won
derfully even game and every man was
beyond the 100 mark. Esher and E. Mar
tin won the game for Dooless with scores
of 200. The record WAS

Amsterdam avenue Eighty-irst street will
hold its regular weekly boxing tourna-
ment- The stars On this occasion will
be Caspar Leon of this city and Dave
Sullivan of Boston, in a t~wenty-round
bout, at 10 pounds. Leon is one of the
few pretenders to the bantam weight
championship who can weigh in at los
pounds. He has a neat style, is q hard
hitter and game. Sullivan, who has never
been defeated, is a rough and ready box
er, a bit awkward, but with the strength
of a feather weight. He viii make
against Leon one of the prettiest bouts
in this class seen in New York in q long
time. The first bout will be six rounds
at 112 pounds, etwee William Barrett
of New York and Tom McDermott of
Brooklyn, and the second bout will be ten
rounds at 13S pounds, between Frank
O'Neil of Chicago and Charles Connolly
of W~ilkesbarre. Pa. The evening will

AT the Nonpareil alleys last night two
games were rolled in the local league be-
tween the Teutonia Circle and the Unions,
which resulted in another brace of de-
feats for the Unions. They have failed
10 win a game in the series and are safely
e~nsconsed in last place. The Unions rolled
poorly and failed to prove dangerous in
either contest. The Teutonias had things
all their own way and rolled to victory
leaving their opponents far behind. The
home team reached a fair average in the
first but it remained for them to create
their best record in the second match in
which they rolled on 10 a 40 average.
Union was behind all the way. The Unions

~Lafayettes, last night. on Seifert's new
Pine street alleys. The Lindens con-
tinued their running streak, although
they had a very close call and won out
by the very smallest margins. Their
bowling was not up to their usual stand

averages. The Lafayettes kept them on
the move and for a time in each game
the chances favored the Lafayettes very

And through transgression fall;
And sin and darkness cover earth,
AS with sable pail
That Jesus Christ on earth should come,
With "healing in his WINGS"
And conquer death, hell, and the grave,
And reign as King of Kings.
His glorious plan came from the Head"
Father Of Light and Love,
Twas sanctioned by the heavenly hosts,
Who dwelt with Him above;
That Christ should come, dwell In the

And be sacrifice
That countless millions Of the dead,
And living might rejoice.
While shepherds watched their flock by
night,
O'er-spread on Indian plains;
The angels of tho Lord appeared,
Chanting celestial strains;
Such heavenly melodies burst forth
Seraphic strains arise!
Echoing grand from world to world,
Along the star-lit skies.
"Peace on earth, good will to man.,
The shining scraphs sang,
Celestial choirs caught Up he strain,
While heavenly music rang
Behold tire Star of Bethlebemi ,
See! where it's halo plays,
Your King! and Savior Of this world,
There in a manger lays.
The foxes had their place of rest,
The birds securely slept
Mid leafy boughs when night had come
| While Jesus oftimes wept,
Despised, rejected. sick and faint,
: Athirst, and lacking bread,
An outcast and wanderer,
| Not where to lay His head.
He preached the gospel, healed the sick
| Gave eyesight to the blind,
And fed the hungry multitude,
| Yea, sought to bless mankind
Great drops of blood oozed through I'll
pores,
Iii agony He wept--
And prayed, "Thy will be done, n<
mine,"
While landscapes slept.
| The Jews, they smote and spat on hin
And spilled His prec ious blood;
They nailed Hin to the shameful eros
| Yea, crucified their God
He died--but soon He rose again,
With vic'try DER the tomb
he loosed their chains, tho captives free
And brake the PRISONS gloom.
Ring out, glad bells, your sweete
chimes!
Ring out the glad refrain,

Ring out!' ring out! again,
Peal forth sweet bells in midnight hol
Good will, good will to man,
