Visitors, with Course Dinner
as the Finale.
The Tapkaow Club entertained a
number of the members of the Mont
gomery Club, of Newark, Tuesday
evening, the event being return visit
in series of bowling games between
the two clubs. The Newarkers came
to Morristown some thirty strong,
and although they rolled some
straight, some curved and some swift
balls down the alleys, the Tapkaow
members went them one better, and
Team No. / broke even with it's guests
while Teams No. 2 and won both
games.
Perhaps it will not be amiss to give
short sketch of the club and the
origin of the name Tapkaow. The
club was incorporated May II, 1897,
and it's growth has been a steady one
ever since, until today it numbers
many of our most prominent citizens
among its membership. The name
was adopted after much thought.
Tapkaow was the first Indian chief
who so far as documents show ceded
property to the whites in this section
of New Jersey. This occurred in
| 170S and the tract Of land decided
was bounded by lines from Ho-
patcong to Peapack, thence to
Eliazbethtown, thence to point on
the Whippany River, and thence
again to Hopatcong. Morristown
was about the center of this tract. and
the plot included most of Morris
County. The Indians sold this valu
able tract for "e30, ten stran water
blankets, fifteen kettles, twenty axes,
| twenty hoes, ten duffills blankets, half
a barr'l of wine, one barrel Of rum, two
barrels of slider, three files, one-gun-
boer, one auget, four PISTOLS, four
cutlasses, ten gunnes, one hundred
barros of lead, half a Darrell of pow
der, ten white blankets, twenty
shirts, and one hundred knives. -
The club rooms are elegantly fitted
up, and every convenience one could
think OF is either ON hand or at call
excepting liquor. The pool and
billiard tables are of the best, fine
piano adorns the parlor, which is
prettily furnished, and the bowling al
leys are considered the finest in the
State.
The members of the Montgomery
Club were pleased with the appoint
ments of the club rooms and spoke
highly of the alleys.
The first teams of both Clubs started
the balls rolling soon after eight
O'Clock, and from then until after ten,
the pin boys were kept steadily at it.
until they wished that Sunday would
come every day.
The scores of the first teams were
aa follows.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1901-01-11

The third team, led by Sheriff
Baker won both its games, The
Sheriff, however, was up against it, I"
and got neither a strike or spare until
his seventeenth frame, when he
managed, by good judgement, to land
spare. In the eighteenth he got
another and then fell down with the
big sum of three. The Sheriff intends
to take some lessons from County
Clerk Voorhees,. and in the "twomen"
tournament will defeat the genial
county clerk, even if he has to roll a
balloon.
The scores were as follows
