There is a great deal Of interest in bowl
ing circles over the trouble which has
been caused by the split in the Spartan
Bowling Club of Hoboken and the organiza-
ton of the champion Spartan B. G.. When
the members who are connected with
the last organization hande in their
designations they were accepted. Among
them were the best howlers of the club
and the custodian of the club property,
among which were the Championship
cups He was requested to turn these over
TO the old organization, but refused,
claiming thai as those member who re-
signed were the ones that won the prizes
on the alleys the old organization had no
claim upon them whatever and could not
expect to get them. One of the prominent
members of the original Spartans In
speaking Of the action of the custodian,
said he believed he can be prosecuted for
larceny and that those who resigned with
him were also equally guilty. Just as
soon as those members resigned they gave
up all interest in the club and its effects
and it was their duty to turn the prop
erty over to the organization. The club
will consult counsel and make an effort
to recover it. If the club was incor-
porated. said he. there would not be the
least trouble in procuring its return. We
are also anxious to get at another gentle
man who has withheld some prize money
from the club.
