Won Both Games on
the Hill.
CHAMPIONSHIP LOST.
Good Work With the Rife--Jean-
nette Gun Club Shoot-Games
Of Pool.

The Clio Wheelmen were defeated in
Cycling Club League of New Jersey, and
the result has cost them the opportunity
OF winning either first or second prize
in the league. 1t was a postponed series
and as the Clos had lost the same num-
Der Of games as the Catholic Club
Cyclers they needed only these games to
put them on the same footing for the
prize, which meant a roll off between the
two local cams. The Union County
Club saved the Catholic Club that trouble,
however, and they are now the proud
possessors of the honor. The team had
worked hard for the place and are en-
titled to a great deal of praise consider
ing they were up against three of the
best teams in the State, the Atlantas,
Tourists and Union County boys The
Clos had a large following on the alley
last evening, and everyone expected the
team to win, and ever failing in the first
game it was considered good betting they
would win the second, and thus tie the
Tourists of Paterson for the second prize.
The Union boys wanted both games,
however, and got them each by good
margins. The Clio team failed to reach
the 500 mark. The bowlers seem hoo
dooed when at home and have one of the
poorest averages of the league teams on
the home alleys. Hard luck marked
their efforts and splits fell rather plenti-
full to their lot. In the early frames the
Clos had the advantage, but Union
County rolled strongly in the final frames
and won at the proper time. Archie
Duke and Ruddiek were the only ones to
bowl fair averages on the Clio team. For
the Unions, Chamberlain's rolling was Of
the finest kind. Score

h chances of the New Yorks win
ming the championship in the professional
Interstate League are not as rosy as
they at first appeared. Last nights Sc
ries with Brooklyn gave the Gotham
bowlers only one game of the four rolled.
This was the first. The match between
the cracks last night was one of the
finest bowled by teams of five men this
season. Every total was above the aver
age and the majority had wonderfully
large scores. The third game was a hum
mer. New York rolled a score of 947 and
has beaten the Brooklyns, passing the
l 900 mark. The last game was a corker,
the Brooklyns winning by one pin.
