Among The BOV|eTS
The League Trustees Will Have A
Meeting To-Day.
The Ladies League ORGANIZED
Interesting Notes And
DOn'tS

at Mission garden this morning. The
trustees of the league are as follows:
Otto Anderson, Ed. DRESS, F. NJ.
Gloeckner, Morris Smith, Herman
Heiligmann, William Muth, Jr, Gus.
Heye and Chris Dullnig. Among other
matters to come up before the meeting
the most important will be for the es-
Enlistment of dead line. There is
great deal of complaint about the dis
tance some bowlers are in the habit if
usurping when in the act of delivering
the ball, and it is imperative that the
bowlers. be limited in their run, or
some will be going half way down the
alley to get pin.
The schedule for the week is as fol-
lows:
Monday-Ivys VS.. Government Hills,
al Mission garden; Hayseeds VS.. Turn
ers, at Sommers' garden.
Tuesday-Missions VS.. Alamos at
Mission garden.
Neutrality-suspicious. VS.. Athletics at
Casino hall.
The ladies' bowling league has been
oil ganized in this city, consisting of
four clubs-Fernleafs, Phoenix, Hay
seeds and Missions. Mrs. Anton
Gloeckner is the president, Mrs. Max
Fues, vice-president and Mrs. Bert ".
Wolfe, treasurer. The first game
will take place Tuesday afternoon at
Mission garden between the Missions
and the Fernleafs.
A great many bowlers would have
been in favor of making the first game
of each contest battle or Sides" and
the second English" 1t is in the lat
ter game that the most science can be
brought out.
The old game of "S1 seems to be a
thing of the past. 1t has not been
played on any alley in the city for some
years.
1t has always been predicted that
the Ivys would figure in the race.
They cut the ice by getting away with
two games from the Alamos and
G. Hills on the latter's own stamping
grounds. Keep 1t up, boys, give Capt.
George the proper support and he will
lead you on to victory yet
The G. Hills seem to have lead pipe
cinch on records, while they are not the
kind that would push them up the per
centage column, still they are records.
Among the l20 players comprising the
league there are not a dozen who
throw a curve ball. The curve goes
we'll on the diamond mixed up with
"cross-fire," etc, but on the alley the
reliable pickers bowl a straight ball.
While umpiring a bowling game is
not as unpleasant job as working the
Indicator for the national game, it al
so has its disagreeable features. 1t is
not an easy task to check off the twen-
ty men six times besides keeping track
of the mines and twelves made on each
side at the same time. And then when
some ardent rooter persists in making
too much noise it falls to the umpire to
quiet his nerves.
There is no rule about running down
the alley before delivering the ball, but
next year we hope to see such a rule,
and then the umpire's troubles will be-
gin in earnest.
Some bowlers seem to think that to
be benched for one or two games is
the meanest kind of disgrace. Now, |
every captain has the welfare of his |
club at heart. His only ambition is to |
win. Some men do better work on GER
tain allies than their fellow players. |
1t also happens that good bowlers play |
In good luck, the same as in any other |
game. Besides, the captain has a list |
Of fifteen to choose from, and as only |
ten men can play on a team at one |
time, the remaining five men must |
warm the bench.
The awful Jonah which has made its |
nome somewhere the Missions ever |
since the league opened seems to have |
made its escape at last. To think |
hat they should whitewash a team the
irst game, beat them by 1872 pins, and
hen lose the second by five points
This is truly hard luck.
On last Wednesday, however, Capt.
Baum led his men on to battle with the
Alamos in regular broncho style.
Every player did his duty, and when
he scorer marked up 26 to the Mis-
ions credit, which gave them the
;ame by good majority, they were
oudly applauded. The Alamos took
he lead by q pins in the first inning of
he second game, the Missions, how
yer, went in for another victory, and
With good, steady picking and numer-
us strikes and twelves, also won the
econd game by pins on a score of $40.
hey can justly feel prounS of their
ictories as the Alamo aggregation is
strong one, especially at home.
Umpire Rennert had a hard time of
during Wednesday nights game. On
everal occasions the visiting bowl
rs were jollied and otherwise annoy
d by the crowd. When the poor shots
ere made the little umpire finally got
p and remarked to the spectators that
e would positively stop the game until
rder was restored, If any more I'M
remarks were made 1t is
eedless to say that after that things
'ent on smoothly.
The unexpected happened once more
n Friday night when the Turner'S
ere beaten in a poor game by the
Iayseeds. The latter won the first
anne by % pins, the Turner'S bowling
