A meeting of the city league has been called for Sunday, January ls, and Secretary Ford will notify all the managers.

 igh average will b. presented with s5, and the fourth man s4. The man get ting the most marks will be awarded s5, the bowler having high three strings s5 and the roller having high single s5.
 The reason why the city league did
 not pan out as well as expected was because of the lack of interest of a few
 of the teams during the last part of . the season. The Republican club ag- gregatlon worked the scheme of having } the first five high men in the Y. M - R. c. league standing roll on the city
 league team. They worked with the = Republican club until the first league ; ended and the new, league started Then few poor rollers managed t , get a good start and found places a
 the top of the Y. NJ. R. C. league. The,
 wera tried out for one week, but the, !; failed mserably and the Republican |, club lost three games. Then the mel |, either joined the down and out club o
 else the officials at the Y. M. R. C. al g leys acquainted with what the worl ,, of these men would effect decided t |, roll the best men in the league. 1 The Specials of the league tried tn
 Y. M R. c. leagueis trick but de
 cided feeling erept up among the bowl
 CTS, because under the circumstance
 only one or two of the same men rolle ,r two weeks in succession. In this mar
 ner of rolling the men were hardl able to get into the average column ' and when they did they were unable oi' get a chance to swell theIr averae ui up. After few games the men faile ii to show up at the scheduled gamt en and they were thus forfeited.
 ls' The makeup of the Young Men 's Republican club league has varied g season with respect to the variance h thee r. NJ R. C. lague standing. Fl GU bowlers in the Republican club leagu '' as reule, were much better than al io other league in the city, and cons
 quentlys the men were able to defe
 with ease any picked team in the cit
 The work of Hollacher, Dickens,
 Powell and several others of the Y. R. C. have been responsible for |
 Republican club victory.
