matches ever held in this city slowly approaching, it might be very interest ing for the hundreds of bowlers inter ested in these contests scheduled for the night of this meeting of Jimmie Watts Algonquin quintet and Otto Huger's Independents, to know the re- spectiye ability of each and every one of the bowlers who will take part.
 In regard to the single man match which will probably be between Jimmie Watt and Arthur Janswick or George Collett, there Is especial interest. Watt has challenged any man in the state and has the opinion that he will have little if any trouble with Janswlck or Collett. Janswick and Watt have met before. From records kept there can be chance to search out their res. pective ability. There were twenty seven games rolled and in the betting on these matches Janswick came out ahead He also rolled at an average of 2O7, while Watt had an average of 205 His bowling was more steady than Watts. The score of the twenty-seven games follow:
 Janswick-176, 1So 1S7, IFS, 1s7, 17S, 1ss, 1S2, lSs, 194. 200, 2G4, 2OS, 23s, 227, 2o6, 2o1, POT, ITO, 211, 214, 227, 2O7, ,21S, 2o7 201, 1S3.
 watt-l99, 1s2, 197, 1Ss. 16s. PIP 2O1, 287, 2lS, 166, POP, 2S4, 21s, 19S, PA, 192, 2o1, 1S2, l5S 2OS 226, 1S7 2O3, 20S, A5, 214 216
 As to the bowlers individually For the Independents Janswick is one of the best rollers in the city, and also one of the steadiest He is great team worker and a splendid finisher.
 Weber always has been very steady roller. and when In condition there is no one in the city who has anything on him. He is a persistent fighter and generally comes out on top.
 Collett is a great endurance roller. The more he rolls the better he rolls. He has a great and accurate side de- livery. He is steady and a ihard .wccrkeS- tse~a..... 2 Riley is the talksof the local puwffrig- world and is pfophesied as a coming star. He rolls a hook delivery, and has 1t down to perfection. Either side of the head pin is good enough for strike.
 Huber is known by everyone as a splendid bowler. He is a good finish CT, never loses his head in tight places and is a. strong rooter for his men.
 Ridden, another member of the In- dependents, is one of the best and youngest bowlers in this state. He is but seventeen years old and has beautiful delivery.
 For the Watts Algonquins Jimmie Smith is the individual champion of New York and is only second to John nie vorhies, the best roller in the state.
 Watt is proclaimed the best bowler in the state or better, one of the best in New York If watt should beat Janswick or Collett, he can't claim the championship because he has not lived in this state one year yet. His home is in New York, but his place of busi- ness is Bridgeport
 Dave Shiman was the best roller in New York three years ago and he has not yet lost any of his old time skill. He is a millionaire and just rolls. for tile recreation He could be a profess slcnal If he desired, but he is not thus inclined.
 schweckee is a good bowler. He is not fancy roller, but is a hard work CT and steady
 Wynlan is good but not steady. There are hany bowlers in this city who can beat him.
 The other man whom Jimmie Watt will probably pick is sauer, He is only a fair bowler and is in Wyman's class except when at his best.
 The reason why Otto Huber would not flip up for the place where the first games should be rolled is because he was afraid that if the first game was rolled in Bridgeport or New York and Watts team lost, there would be no return match here. Early in the season Watt had made match with Hubers Independents to be rolled at Bridgeport. Huber was there, but when he asked Watt to put up the $25 he had agreed upon for the match Watt wouldn't, giving as reason that his team was not strong enough. Near the end of the evening in order not to disappoint the crowd Watt decided to roll for $10 A return match was to have been rolled at the Tuxedo alleys for s25. Watts team showed up, but they wouldn't roll for money. In orr der not to disappoint the crowd Huber agreed to roll. These reasons seem suf- ficient for Huber's not accepting Watts first terms.
 RUTT AND sTOL WON.
