AS foreshadowed in The Tribune, a
few. days ago, the bicycle clubs of
Lackawanna and Luzerne counties have
held aEoof from the city league, and,
instead, organize a bicycle league.
One or more teams will be entered
by the Scranton Bicycle club, the Green
Ridge Wheelmen, the Electric City
Wheelmen of West Scranton, and the
West End Wheelmen of Wilkes-Ba
A meeting for organization will soon
be held, and B. p. Connolly. of the
Bicycle club. probably again chosen for
president.
Mr.. Connolly and Charles Fowler, of
the Green Ridge Wheelmen. are the
two men to whom may largely be at
tributed the great bowling enthusiasm
Of this city and vicinity. They both
worked like beavers in starting the first
local league in Scranton, and have been
prominently identified with league roll
ing ever since.
Some of the crack bowlers Of the city
can be found in these same clubs. and
the city has yet to turn out team
which can compete for individual and
team excellence with the champion
Scranton Bicycle club rollers of two
years ago, when DR.. Wardell, George
Mitchell, Josiah Duffield, William Roper
and Charles Moore made up the team.
John Taylor, Of the Green, Ridge
Wheelmen, has the highest score to his
credit ever rolled in local match
game. and Charles Moore, of the BIZ
cycle club. is considered one of the
steadiest and most consistent bowlers
in the valley. Wiegand and Yost, of
the West Enders, are two other crack
bowlers. The former distinguished him
self in the match game of three years
ago with the star Roseville team, by
finishing high man in a match, in
which some of the greatest bowlers of
the country were engaged.
E. C. w. YOUNG, BUT GOOD.
The Electric City Wheelmen have the
newest alleys and youngest team, but
