The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1908-12-22

There are clubs In this city where,
when a team is once picked, its lineup
remains unchanged throughout the
season, unless for some very good rea-
son. These clubs are the ones which
are oftenest represented by teams
which bring home championships.

tournament and league bowling. Men
who perform together night after night
learn to know what to expect from
their fellow-members, n this gives
them a feeling of confidence, and they
are steadier in trying situations.

a member of a committee finds it's hard
to pay no attention to the appeals or
friends. The only safe course is TO make
every candidate show that he has the
goods" Then, when the choice Is made,
captains should keep the team together as
made up, except in case of accident. sick
ness or a plain ~out-and-out lack OF form.
