ulicatiOn of the DO0HttieS was redu. II
was decided that all the old clubs that
do not respond to the call for the regu-
lar fee of SIS be dropped and the new
clubs be taken in under one OF two sys-
TENS. One way suggested Is that the
Board of Managers decide which OF the
applicants be taken in to I'LL
Another method and that most generally
favored is to rave all the applicants hold
a tournament n determine in that man
ner which shall gain membership Il was
decided that the regular tourney open

winning the championship for the past
two years.
The season in Hoboken promises to be
as lively as ever. which means that al
most all the alleys will be kept working
overtime once the experts get in form.
There seems to be a stronger tendency
toward organization h was felt last
season and the outlook is that a large
number of clubs will be gotten together
Those clubs which were busy last year
are already brushing the dust on the
halls and talking schedules and matches
80 that the next fortnight will see much
activity in his hotbed of the sport Tnere
are to be a few good tournaments IN pro-
gress there also this year and the rivalry
promises to be keener. The New Jersey
Bowling Association will do business as
usual on Schocke's alleys, Washington
street. and the managers have expressed
a determination to make the standard
much higher than last year. This will be
a simple matter, especially when 1t Is re-
membered that in tournament match
games last year a score of 600 for five
men was by no means an unusual thing
Those in charge of this seasons work
appreciate the fact thai such miserable
scores take away every semblance of a
contest and therefore rob the affair of
All interest. The clubs of last year will
be asked to enter again and it is likely
that several new clubs win be on the
list as the prizes are to be valuable.
There has been some talk of a tourna-
ment in opposition TO the regular fail
event Of the association, though just
form the idea will round itself into is
stiIl an unanswered question. and has
caused the association managers no worry
as they feel an easy confidence in their
position.
The Castle Point Cyclers enjoyed rare

alleys of the clubhouse are to be opened

which will enter various tournaments
will start practice as soon as possible
in order that the club may be as strongly
represented as any of its competitors A
team will be specially trained and Will re-
l.ceive special attention of all kinds with a
