THE NEWARK
LEAGUE MAP
KruegerS and Indians Taken
Into the Fold Of Local
BOWIerS.

With new blood infused into the New

ton of the Gottfried Kruger Association

were admitted last night at the annual
meeting, held at the West End Club, fresh
interest will be centred in the race this
season. This Increases the circuit to
twelve clubs.
The applications of the two clubs adj
mitted last night had been on the table
for some time. and the move by which
the organizations were admitted was en-
tlrely unexpected. 1t turned out, how
ever, during a discussion, that the repre-
sentatives of the various clubs believed
that to admit new clubs would be to in
still new life into a circuit that had be-
come more or less monotonous to not a
few of the bowlers.
Al the annual election Of officers Robert
Kuebler. of the Forest Hill Field Club,
was unanimously reelected president.
Frank T. Newman, of the Roseville Ath-
letic Association. was chosen secretary
treasurer. and James X. Meldrum, of the
West End Club, was chosen as a third
member of the executive committee. the
president and the seeretary-treasurer
forming the rest of the committee.
A long discussion was had over a
proposition to increase the assessment
from $15 a club to either $40 or SIS a
club. but this was finally voted down.
The next meeting of the league will be
held Monday night, September 80, at the
clubhouse of the Roseviile Athletic As
ISOLATION. Seventh avenue and Seventh

dyafted for the coming bowling season.

The representatives of the Gottfried Krue-
ger Association were admitted to the
meeting after that organization had been
taken into the league. The Republican
Indian League informed the meeting, by
telephone. that it desired to come in.
While there was little definite to be Sc
cured last night about the makeup OF
the various teams next season, 1t was as
certained that there would be any num-
Der of changes m the various iineups.
The champion First Wards will not have
the services of Bill Schenck, who is going
with the Passaic Club in the Athletic
League, and AL Baker, who is going with
the Parks. will also leave the First Wards

offered by President Kuebler last season
for making the best average on alleys
away from home, is not to bowl with the
Park next season. according to report
The Northerns have put in a new pair
of wooden alleys since last season and
formally opened them a few weeks ago.
The Forest Hill Field Club reported that
1t would likely build a new clubhouse
soon and put In several pairs of wooden
alleys. in which case the number of slate
