The officers of the Athletic Bowling
League will hold a meeting tonight to
take some action on several questions that
have come up for consideration since the
opening of the tournament. The most
important matter to be considered is how
will the vacancy caused by the disband-
men and necessary wal Of the
Montclair Club from the League be filled
at once so that the original schedule may
be carried on. A number Of the clubs
have shown a desire to draw the Crescent
Athletic Club of Brooklyn into the
League. but the bowling directors of that
club will not go in for various reasons,
the most important of which of which is
that the Crescents have no team which it
can enter with a hope of finishing in the
money. Two teams of that organization
are now busy in small tournament in
Brooklyn and there is not room for any
more extensive operations in the bowl
ing world. The Newark Athletic Club,
after waiting for more than a year for
an opportunity to get in the League has
made application, but it viii be impossi-
BILE to admit this club in view of the fact
that it has no alleys of its own and al
the games in which it figures must be
decided on Montgomery's alleys in New
ark.
There is a strong feeling against bowl
ing Athletic League games on public al
leys. Thus is the one club which has
been very anxious to enter shown to be
ineligible. Unless something happens
shortly TO relieve the situation it will be
necessary for the League to continue with
but seven clubs. which are as follows:-
Jersey City. Knickerbocker A c., New
York A. c., Elizabeth A. c., North End,
Roseville and Columbia. All these have
paid in an entrance fee, figuring on eight
clubs, but all will have to put in some
additional moneys in order to keep up
the standard Of the prizes and make up
for the loss caused by the retirement OF
the Montclair aggregation.
There is one way to overcome the pres
ent difficulty in a manner that would
cause more general interest to be felt in
the League in this particular section Of
the State. In this count there is now
but one club represented, the Jersey City
Club, n the idea has taken hold of
many that a team could be organized in
this city to enter the League. 1t could

reputable club h~ereabouts, and thus settle
the question of a permanent home, and
not rub against the feeling against bowl
ing on public alleys, Some steps viii be
taken on these lines by several gentlemen
who are nxiou to further the interest
of bowling as much as they are anxious
to figure in so excellent a Tournament as
tEat held under the auspices of the Attn
letic League.
A novel competition has been arranged
at the Catholic Club for the ladies who
during the afternoon and evenings.
Chairman Joseph Duane has secured a
beautiful chair as a prize and Father
Brady has picked a number; what it is,
no one but Father Brady knows. During
the month the scores, of the ladies will be
taken and the one who has secured a
score nearest the unknown umber will
receive the prize.
