The Bowling League will be COM

of three, as was the case last season.
Though there has been no meeting
Of the executive officers of the teams
representing the Tomochichi, Hussars'
and Yacht clubs, it is the general be-
lief that such action will be taken at
the meeting, which will be held in a
few days.
The three additional teams will be
composed of members of the three
clubs which were in the Tri-club
League. 1t has been found that there
is abundant material in each of the
clubs to make up additional teams
which might vie successfully with al
most any team in the city. There
are only five members on a team, and
as there are about fifty followers of
the sport in each of the clubs, the rea-
sons for enlarging the membership of
the league is obvious.
Names for New Teams.
At the meeting the question of
naming the new teams will be discuss
ed, and probably determined Some
suggest that the clubs be designated by
colors, while others think that the
mineral designation is good enough.
At the Yacht Club new alleys were
built during the spring, and there are
many more devotees of the sport
among the country boys" than there
were last season. AS there were sew
eral good bowlers in that club, who had
no chance to distinguish themselves.
except in the second team contest with
the Tomochichi Club, which was held
at the end of the season, they are

The monthly summer contests among
the Hussars has caused the develop
ment of quite a number of new stars.
The alleys have been made over, and
are now in much better condition than
they We're last year. The highest
scores have heretofore been made on
the Yacht Club alleys, but the cavalry
men promise to break some records
during the coming season on their new
alleys.
Interest Has Been Keen.
The interest in the sport has abated
none among the members of the Tom
OChici Club. At the close of the sea-
son last year, their club was worthy
foe for any club. They could not,
however. cut down the lead which the
OTTER 9cfabs foDta1ned eatF the beginning
of the season appreciably enough to
land them at the top notch when the
season closed. The Indians promise to
make things warm for the other clubs
this season, and confidently Expect to
have the scalps of the cavalry and
country boys dangling at their belts
when the final roundup comes.
The September bowling contest
among the Hussars takes place on
Monday night. There are already more
entries for this than for any other dur
ing the summer. This is largely due
to the cooler weather and the proxi-
nifty of the inter-club matches. Two
new sets of pins and a new lot of balls
will be received on Monday, to be used
in the contest on that night.
