in making even a reasonably high sc

its essentials, does not present niue
knows just how the pins should be hi
negotiating spares is not particularly /
spares is not difficult; the point is, it
and also hard to get the strikes and S
which results in high scores.
And lust here is where the attractive
ness of the game is to be found Every
bowler wishes TO do better h he has
been doing. When he gets a good score
lie is happy. but he always wants to
do a little better. When he gets a poor
score he is more or less discouraged but
feels sure he can do better next time.
It's a fact that bowling enthusiasts
are decidedly wrapt up in the sport,
but the interest usually continues only
as long as they are continually trying
their skill at knocking down h pins.
When there is a period during which
the bowler is not able for some reason
or other to give his time to the pas
time there usually comes a quick lack
of interest and in many cases the sport
loses a devotee.
In its last analysis the sport of bowling
may he considered as n pastime for the in
dividuaI. though. naturally, it is best en-
jCyed with many competitors. Inc pm
knight is most anxious ahouit, his own score
and anxious to excel above all others. lIere
is, of course, team rivalry and club rivalry,
but not to the same degree that 1t exists III
other sports. Your team bowler, III teIlhg
of his successes and feats, usually. confines
his talk to how fate treated him, giving but
passing attention to the details of the do
1ngs of his team.
The sport, as usually conducted, IS a clean
and honest one, it affords excellent exer-
riea and tboupb IN in6D1r naStim6 and not
able to offer the advantages of out-ot-door
sports in the way of benefting the health,
1t is surely a fact that its popularity as a
winter pastime is well-earned, And with
this statement the thousands OF Newark
pin-knights will enthusiastically agree.
New Haven bowlers gave the Newarks
an unpleasant surprise In the hve-man
Eastern League match on the Tuxedo alleys
last night. The locals figured on a clean
sweep, but lost two games out OF three IN
stead, their hold on first place being thus
endangered.
Billy Noack took Johnson's measure in
the Eastern League individual match yes
terday afternoon on the Tuxedo alleys, the
New Haven pin-knight getting but one
alton for the setback at night.
Newark and Elizabeth seem fated to be
mixed on their National Interstate Leasne
dates. Last week the locals went down 70
Elizabeth and We're given the merry hama
for believing that they were scheduled 10
roll a match with the Union county boys
The latter were carded to bowl on the
oxford alleys last night, but found That
thew had another engagement and begged
off, the oxford boys kindly oblgl1g.
RoseviIIe bowlers will get into action to-
night in their first home ma6ch IN tng g
three games from the Montclair cup rep
resentatives. They need them, too IN order
TO get in the race.
Maybe those North End bowlers didn't
Jar those proud Athletic League champions
from Elizabeth last night. Handed out a
triple defeat on the uptown alleys, look
first place away from their guests and put
over a new team record Of 1,03O on them.
Sort of a strenuous series.
Tom Harper helped a lot in the North
End massacre of the pins. Tommy drops
his ball on the alleys in a way that none
dreams of trying to initiate. Funny how 1t
gets into the pocket, but when Tommy just
hands in an average OF about 20 Tor three
games, crisicisms about style are entirely
out of order.
Guess the Prudential boys will believe
that Harry Austin can bow, some, 100; ne
got in n big 1872 to help the North Ends
along and just tied Tom Harper with an
average of DOLL.
Roseville teams aren't, as q rule, IN
the cellar position. but the SUBURBAN league
five. which represents that organization, IS
lust now sharing the lowermost place with
the Northerns. The triple defeat tnat 1hs
BelleviIle boys handed out last night ala
the trick.
Maybe those Kruegers can kill the pins
when they're in form. SuDurpah beIa9E M
the Kruegers got 1,O14, and then they SCI
cured 1912. Newark Turner'S were in nara
Loot three games. Kruegers took third place
in the Suburban League race by their clean
sweep.
George Steel bobbed up again last nlsht,
ue,s now with the Parks and helped out
with a zoo average against the Northerns In
a Newark League match. George last ap.
reared in the Newark League as a member
~ fine Relleyille five. He used to be A TUX
edo Irregular and later moved TO new
