The honors were easy in last nights
games Of the Jersey City League, and
after an interesting competition no inn
portant advantage was gained by either
Of the four teams that competed. The
Unions and Teutonia Circle rolled two
games on the alleys of the former on
Jackson avenue. The Teutonias did
well in the beginning while the Unions
were all at sea. The Teutonias bowled
very close to the 500 mark in the opening
game, and left the Unions some distance
behind The visitors gained the lead on
the first frame and pushed it along until
the figures CAV them a margin of "A
on the fifth. After that It was easy sail
ing and they bowled the game out, win
ming by So pins. Lamster, with 1870 for
Teutonia, IA a good leader. Smith
beat the average for Union. In the sec
ond game the Unions made up for their
poor work in the first game by rolling
an excellent score in the second. Every
member but Smith sent the pins flying
for nice averages. The Teutonias put
up a fair average for a visiting team,
but were not in the race, and although
there was only a margin of 8 pins be-
tween them OF the second frame the
lead OF rs pins or the fifth frame, and
thereafter the visiting team fell further
behind and was beaten III pins. KimbaI
for Union rolled 201. The team total
was only a few pins below their best rec
ord. Lamster was on top for Teutonia.

FRED KERR ON THE GLBDHILL BILL
He Offers a String of Arguments for
Hts Passage.

1.-THE News is in receipt of an interest
ing communication from Fred ]. Keer, of
the Hudson County Wheelmen, Vice Con-
sui of the New Jersey Division of the
l.. A. W., in which hes presents an able
argument in favor of the Gledhin Bag
gage bill, now insthe hands of the special
committee at Trenton. The ideas set
forth by Mr.. Keer will be of interest to
wheelmen in this city. and are printed
for their beneit The facts are:-
To the Editor of 1.-THE News":-
At the present time the New Jersey
Division, l.. A. W., is engaged in a battle
royal with two powerful railroads, for
supremacy on the above bill. l only
mention two roads, but there are others,
tically represent the roads in opposition.
Now why and where does this opposition
on the part of the railroads spring from
50 suddenly? As the winter understands
into department, baggage. ETC., all under
the rulings of department chiefs, who en-
deavor TO- make as good a showing as
departments. even at the expense of an
other department on their own road.
Now it ppear that about two years
sisted upon a strict enforcement for the
collection of baggage charges on bicycles,
emanating of course from the baggage
department. and the financial statement
issued by that department proved so
satisfactory that it was a tempting NOR
sci for other railroads to covet. This
practically has been the beginning of the
crusade against free transportation of
bicycles by certain railroads. Now why
are the wsleelmen entitled to free trans
portation of their bicycles, and why do
we demand it? For years the railroads
made no charge, excepting in a few in
stances, and today the majority of rail-
roads do not. Why, then, if it was
right to carry wheels free as baggage a
few years ago, the same as the sports
mans guns and rods are carried, or the
carpenters kit of tools, or the travellers
100 pound trunk, shall they discriminate
against a25 pound bicycle? If they have
not the proper facilities to transport BIZ
cycles in large numbers, that is no fallt
mar caters to the demands of his patrons,
and SO should a railroad. The New Jer-
sey Central on their New York branch
have taken care of the wheelmen by add
ing to all rains on Sundays, during the
morning and evening hours, full sized
baggage ears, and generally over their
system have endeavored to please, there
by gaining a large patronage, and today
are well satisfied and smile at the short
sighted policy pursued by their neighbors.
In the face of these facts, can any one say
that our demands are unjust? / say. no.
for We are only asking what is right
and due us. h railroad officials know
it, but are pursuing their usual mono
polistic tactics, hoping to defeat us, but
his time that old railroad m~agnate's
words will not go, THE wheelmen be
- for we are the public, and what is
a public right is the wheeImen's right,
