WITH THE BOWLERS.
Doolittles to Begin the Sea-
son Tuesday, Good
Scores For Practice
Games.

The Doolittle Bowling Club will begin
the season on next Tuesday night, al
Woods Hall alleys, and a great reunion
of star bowlers is looked for, as the
old timers have had their interest IN
the game so strengthened by the en-
trance of a team in the A. n. T. that
quite a few of them are expected to take
an active interest in the club. This in
addition to a large number of new mem
bers means much for the game this year.
Sam Coffman will captain the team in
the A. N. T. and the players will be
chosen by him from the some twenty can
didates that are most anxious to bowl in
this tournament. Thomas White will be
the lieutenant-captain. The first game in
which the Doolittles will bowl will be on
October % when the team will have to
face the Columbias. Patersons and
Spartans.
1t is likely that the Doolittle will also
enter a team in the tournament which is
to be held at the alleys of Charles K.
Sparr, the expert who made such envi-
able records in big tournaments parucu-
larry the Athletic League. in the past.
This win be konwn as the Plaza Tourna-
ment n will be rolled at Fifty-ninth
street and Park avenue.
Wednesday night will be the opening of
the season for the Lincoln Bowling Club.
which will practice every Wednesday in
the season at Woods Hail.
Because of the celebration tonight the
Carteret Bowling Club will not hold the
weekly practice on Heye's alleys.
Some very excellent scores ia been
made at the Jersey City Club alleys so far
this season. Charles Meyer scored 256,

tice j. s.. Newkirk made over two hun
dred in each of three games Monday

rare form for this early stage Of the sea-

other day, which was the first time he had
bowled this season.
Mr.. Scudder of the Jersey City Club,
who is chairman of the executive commit

be chosen by the committees and regular
practice will then begin. The first game
in the league will not be rolled until after
