LEAGUE GAMES

Linden Wheelmen.
The tie for the first prize in the Jersey
City League has been broken. II was Of
very short duration inc gives the Lindens
Of Greenville their old place in the lead.
The Clintons rolled two games last night
with the Lafayettes on the Pine street al
leys and put up scores that were nothing
liz championship figures. Their work was
OF a decidedly inferior nature, and their
lowing is not of the order that can be re-
with the Lindens the Clintons nave fallen 20
fourth place, and are lower now than they
have ever been before since the opening of
the series two years ago. There was some
thing evidently wrong with the team or else
with the alleys. They are hard to roll on,
INC few teams nave put up the average in
competition there. The Lafayettes, who
bowl there constantly, find it very difficult
to put up a large score. Previous
to the contest last night a member
of the Lafayettes wagered Captain Duk
that the Clintons would not bowl an 800
game. The Clinton captain imagined this a
cinch and was not slow to accept the offer
with the result that his team was a bad
loser. It was very close in the opening
game, the Clintons gaining the lead on tie
second frame. They held it to the seventh,
but regained it IN the eighth. The home
team rolled to the front in the ninth and
cracked out a victory on the tenth by .
pins. Ed HUMPHREYS and Tom Douglas are
both responsible for the defeat. John
Faulkner was absent and Douglas made q
very weak substitute. The Clintons suffer
ed much worse in the second game andafell
70 a lower mark than in the first and the
Lafayettes had it all their own way after
the first frame and beat the CGntons 43
pins. Gus Buchtenkirk went to pieces alto
gether in this game and made the lowest
score of his career in the league. He fell
below the century mark and was credited

The games IN the series at the Woods Hall
alleys last night between the Linden Wheel
men and the Dooless team resulted in a brace
Of bad defeats for the Greenville team. They
strengthened up for this contest by insert
ing new material in the team, but it worked
poorly when compared with their last visit
toWood's Hall, when they succeeded in break
ing even with Doolittle. The Dooiess Club
settled the score for their associates by Civ
ing the team a bad beating in the first game
the margin being $50 pins. In the second !
the figures were much smaller, but still the |
home bowiers had all the best of it. At the |
start the Linden Wheelmen gained the lead,
but this was only momentarily. Dooless
forged ahead after this and won as they
pleased. Every member but Appman beat
the average mark. Adinger was the only

The Teutonia Circle was the third home
team to win its series last hight in the Jer-

games were as interesting as any of the
night and resulted in the Teutonias. sue

even games and there was very little differ
