The league games last week were as in
teresting as ever an several OF the leaders
wer unable to stand against the clubs
that fought them. and the positions have
undergone a change. In the local league
there was no alteration, the Clinton and
Columbia both winning. The tournament
is on its last stretch and will wind up
early in March. The Lindens have played
a greater number of games than the
others, but have lost two more than the
Clintons and Columbias. The Northern
New Jersey League teams are getting
down to hard work now, and with the
First Ward Republican Club one game
ahead of Orange Valley and the Institutes
close up, there is promise of a hot finish.
The Institutes hav played their schedule
nearly out, and with the record made
there is every reason to believe they will
win eventually. The North Hudson tour
nament came to an end last week, when a
number of games We're allowed to go by
default. The x Spartans, winners of last
| years championship, are again the pos
SCISSORS of the prize with the All-Bees sec
ond. and Homesteads third. The week
just ended was the means of bringing
about further changes in the Athletic
League. The Elizabeths, who We're for
weeks invincible. hav taken a big tum-
BILE and are undoubtedly out of the race.
New York Athletic Club is at the head
with the Rosevilles and Elizabeths second.
The Jersey City Club is fourth, two games
ahead of Jersey City. The games in the
New Jersey Bowling Association are not
creating any great excitement. The ma
lority of the entries are only second rate
bowlers. and the stronger teams are hav-
ing it all their own way. Homestead has
won every game, while x Spartan, All
Bees and Valencia ave taken all but one
and are even up for second. In the Inter
Club League the Albions of Paterson are
first, two games ahead of the Arlington
| ard Union teams, who are even up in the
next position. Last weeks victory by
Rcselle over the Elizabeths has given
them a lead over the New Jersey A. c.,
who are now second on the list. The
positions in the Suburban League are the
| same as last week. There is a lively in
| terest in the games of the Associated Cy-
Gle Club League. The defeat administered
by Mantle to the Tourists last week has
| pulled down their lead, and the Clio
Wheelmen are now even with them in de-
| feats, but having rolled four games more
than the local wheelmen, are ahead in
victories. The Newark Bay Boat Club
in last weeks games won three from the
Palma Club, which places them first in
the record, with New Jersey A. c. Bay
onne R. A. and New Jersey B. C. ever
for second. The Catholic Club continues
to hold it's winning hand in the Amateur
Bowling Association with the Elizabeths
one game behind. Tonight will have a
great bearing on the record. as both lea
ders will roll the Catholic Club, and Eliza
beth at New Jersey Bowling Club. Both
will be hard games, but honors should IA
vor the Catholic Club. In the Foresters
League Elizabeth has won ID straight VIC
tories, which may prove a hoodoo num-
Der. Court Lafayette is second. The
records in all leagues follow
