Plans For a League Of
Catholic Club Ripen--
Notes Of the Clubs.

The plan for the formation of a league,
in which all the Catholic Clubs of the
city, which started last year has now
taken a very firm hold on those interest
ed and will be pushed to a successful
issue if possible. The plans which were
suggested last season are now ripening
and 1t looks as If the scheme would go
through. Mr.. Joseph Duane, Chairman Of
the Bowling Department of the Catholic
Club, has taken the first step and has
showed very prominently in this matter.
At a meeting of the committee of the
Catholic Club held last night. Mr.. Duane
suggested that an effort be made to start
the idea and it was as then decided that
Secretary James Sullivan Of the com
mittee write those In charge of bowling
Ia the following clubs. st. Michael's
Catholic Club. ST. Bonifaee Lyceum, st.
Peters Lyeeum, All Saints Lyceum. st.
Patrick's Catholic Club, st Joseph's Club,
ST. Paurs Club st. Johns Club, st.
Bridget's Lyceum, ST Aloysius' Il and
st. Michael's Clu of West Hoboken. A
meeting is to be held at the Catholic Club
on October 5, when the idea will be fully
discussed. 1t is likely hat such a league
will be formed as all the above clubs have
been anxious for such a thing foa some
time. They have regretted the lex of
a tournament whics would give Them more
interest in the game and also draw the
bonds of friendships more closely The
strength the movement has taken so early
In the year is very great and it Is con-
fdently expected that a schedule will be
made up that will call for the first game
sometime very near Thanksgiving Day.
AT the Catholic Club alleys, last night,
James Sullivan put up the extraordinary
score of 2l5. which is the highest score
made in his city in a long time and Is a
record for the Catholic Club alleys that
gives great promise of standing for a
long time. This is d wonderful score and
it was made in a manner that leaves no
doubt of Surivan's ability. Six straight
strikes were followed by a split spare
that was made, though it was most diff
cult as may be appreciated when 1t is
known that the pins that remained up
after the first BAL was deliver were 3-7-lo.
Then followed four more strikes and eight
pins.
1t has been decided to make several
necessary improvements in the alleys OF
the Peoples Palace. The work of plac-
ing them will be completed in a day or SO
ana then the actual practice Cd the team
members will begin. There are to be flve
formed this season and each VIII
consist Of five men. The teams have not
been formed yet and will not until next
week, when the bowling committee Tor
the wear win be announced. The annual
team tournament will be as great a
feature Of the seasons work as ever and
is expected to be of a better kin than
those of previous years, as the little prac-
tice already enjoyed by the members snow
them to be in good form and much nm
proved in ability.
There WIN also be a number Of matcn
games this year that will be interesting.
New balls and pins viii be obtained be-
fore the tournament begins and all things
will be in frst-class condition.
The Enterprise Bowling Club win prac-
tice every Monday night at Muliers al
Montgomery street.
The Horseshoe Bowling Club will begin

St. Michaelss Club will open next week
or as soon as the extensive alterations
are completed, and then he alleys VIII
start as soon as a committee may be ap-
pointed to take charge Of them. The CLUB
looks for an unusually lively season TINS
wear as the game has taken a very hrm
hold on the members. IT is more than
likely hat a team win be entered in the
league for Catholic clubs.
A high score prize win be offered for
the best figures made during between
October > and I at the Catholic !
The Lincoln Bowling Club will open Its
season at Woods HAL alleys tomorrow
night and will bowl every Wednesday
