 O'Clock.

Followers of bowling in this city will have chance to witness rare treat in the sport when the local East ern leaguers meet the New Brunswick team at the Tuxedo allsys this after noon and evening.

Back of them will be the sympathy of the rest of the league teams, for if New Brunswick carries off the three games the lead will be so increased that there will be but little chance for the rest of the teams.
 While on the other hand, if New Haven makes a good showing against them and takes at least two games. New York, Elizabeth, Brooklyn and New Haven will all havd a look-ln for first honors.
 The local boys, however, have been splitting the pins we'll of late at the Tuxedo alleys and 1t looks as if their showing this afternoon and evening would be of the best. Butch" Weber, whose pin splitting has been a feature of late, supplants Charlie" Johnson in rolling the individual event. This match will be the first of the day, and will be rolled at 3 o'clock, after which the two-men at o'clock and tho three-men at o'clock will follow.
