The Athletic Bowling League will be-
gin another year tonight and the pros
poets are that the season will be as sue
c~essful, if not more so, than any of the
past. The officers have been working
hard for success and their efforts have
been made along lines that should be
productive of the best results. The OPEN
ing games will be between Columbia
against Elizabeth, at the latter's alleys,
and Montclair against North End, at
North End. Here is a card for the be-
ginning of the year that is calculated to
give the tournament a most successful
and interesting start. The teams are very
well constructed and are as equal as
could be desired, so that a hot contest
in each case may be looked forward to
with confidence. Games will also be
played tomorrow and Wednesday nights.
Tomorrow the old time rivals, the New
York A. C. and the Knickerbocker A. c.,
will clash at the home of the Cherry Dia-
mond. Special preparations have been
made for this game and the wearers of
the Winged Foot are likely to receive d
warm reception. On Wednesday night the
Jersey City Club team will go to Rose
Vile and play it's opening game against
Rosevi1le cracks. The hot finish be-
tween these two teams in last years race
will be remembered and a good struggle
is sure to result from the meeting.
These are all the games to be played
this week and it is an excellent pro-
gramme.
The Catholic Club Bowling League be-
gins its championship race tonight, and a
lively career is looked for by the promo
tiers. The organizations of this league was
effected only after a lot of hard work.
The idea. took hold Of the bowlers of the
Catholic Club last year, but it was impos-
sible to perfect arrangements at that
time. Through the untiring efforts Of
Joseph Duane of James Sullivan, Chair
man Secretary of the Catholic Club
bowling department, theleague was final
ly formed with six clubs. Three games
will be bowled tonight. st. Peters will
meet All Saints at St. Peters alleys. St.

section of the county are very anxious to
give the Catholic Club a good beating and
they nave made special arrangements. It
is very improbable that they viii meet
with success in their efforts unless the
Catholic Club team has an off night. The
five that will represent the local organi-
cation are all tried men who have found
themselves in tight places before and all
have been important factors in games
that brought much honor and glory with
victory. James Sullivan, a young man
who has made great strides in the game
in the last year viii captain the team.
The other members will be Richard Duff,
JolE Relist, Charles Cathcart and Frank
Riordan. There is a quintette that will
keep most ordinary teams busy. A big
crowd is expected at each of the games,
and general excitement is felt among the
clubs.
