LINDEN's DOUBLE VICTORY

The Elizabeth Athletic Club plodded
along in their race for the pennant in.
the Amateur Bowling Association, and
although hard pressed the team was
equal to the test and won out to the great
disappointment of a crowded house at
the alleys Of the Newark Bay Boat Club
at Bayonne. The Elizabeths since their
oeieat by the Catholic Club in the first
game rolled have been invincible. and
nave beaten every club no matter
Whetner at home or abroad, consequently
une Newark Bay Boat Club made a
speclai EFFORT last evening to beat the
vlsltors and came within a few pins Of

was a hot game and one of the most ex-
citing seen at the N. B. B. c. alleys in
some time. The place was crowded on
al sioes with pretty girls. and their sym
pathy was with the home team. They
are STRONG rooters nd were liberal with
encouragement, and It was not their fault
tnat the game wen wrong. The Eliza
petns nave been doing wonderful work
with the bail. but they failed to show it
IN THIS game. and were very fortunate to
WIN with a ISL average. Newark Bay

Hackensack rolled close to the 800

brought the championship to this city.

The game at the Linden alleys in Green
vile between the Lindens and Linden
Wheelmen was not the walkover that the
Clubs in he Jersey City League imagined
It would be for the champions. They won
the opening game with ease, but were
compelled to work for the second and
very hard at that. The team had the
closest rub of the season on it's own alleys
INC they considered themselves very for
tunate that they won out. The Lindens
were up against a lard game and en-
countered an unusually large number of
splits, which kept their score we'll below
the average. The Linden Wheelmen did
not nave. a team as strong as usual, but
for all that it anne within a very few
pins of breaking even. Had the wheel
men won it would have been a big sur
prise and a boomerang to those who have
been so positive the team would throw
their games rather than best the Lin
dens and lessen their chances Of success
in the race for the cup. Linden rolled a
steady game with the exception of Herig
in the first contest and with a good aver
age beat their rivals by 12O pins. Dick
son and Chesterfield filled in with their
usual score, which were in the 1870 block.
They were also high in the next game
and 1t was the cleverness of Chesterfield
that saved the scalps of the team. He
rolled 1913, which enabled his team to win.
The Wheelmen were ahead on every
frame until the ninth, when the margin
favored Linden by Is. In the windup the
team had one credit the best Of it and
won by q pins. Scorer

RESULTS OF SAT06LTs MISSION
Rev. DR.. McGlynn Writes an I'm
terestfng Letter in the Forum

The Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn, writing
recently in the Forum upon the re-
suits of Cardinal Satollfs mission to
America, says
From the very beginning of his adj
mihlstration and in the nearly four years
OF It's DURATION. Monsignor Satolli has
gone, IN numerous instances Inc in many
directions, more than enough to justify
the Pope's Judgment and expectation
thai the Delegation. would do much to
remedy the evils and TO supply the wants
referred to in the earlier part of this ar
ticic, and to cause the Catholic Church
In America to make a distinct and great
advance toward a future that shall be
worthier of her high vocation and of the
preat people enid yhon her lot is hap
PLY cast.
Time and again he has lifted oppres-
sive burdens from clergy and people,
righted wrongs, compelled the tempering
of justice with mercy, made judicial
hearings accessible and easy; and, by the
happy interposition of his authority and
by his tact and good offices, he has been
compromises extrajudicially. The mere
presence in this country of such a man,
invested with such authority, has pre-
vented much matter for discord and liti-
cation.
ut has made cautious some p~relates
who, in their inexperience, or excessive
estimate of their own authority, would
otherwise have been more ready to lay
undue burdens upon clergy or people, and
to stretch their authority beyond its due
limits. He has restored priests who had
been condemned by their Bishops; in
sorne cases because he found that they
were innocent, and in others because he
found that they had already been too
severely punished.
I'm his first address to the assembled
Archbishops he forcibly reminded them
of the express prohibition by the Sow
ereign Pontiff. through the Sacred Con-
gregation, of the exclusion either by act
or threat from the Sacraments of par
ents who might choose. to send their chill
dren to the public schools. And he add
ed: AS regards the children themselves
this enactment applies with still greater
force.'n
