The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1909-02-10

THE EVENING STAR head-pin
tournament provides a real test and
bowlers who make big scores are en-
titled to lots of'credft. That the class
is present in large quantities is proved
by the fact thai scores which approach
worlds records are being placed on the
books.
Newark bowlers who are anxious that
The first prize of $50 should come to this
city will certainly have to pin some to
excel the great mark of. 539, which went
last week to the credit of the Elizabeth
Stars. Still there is plenty of time to
turn the trick, and there is a great
throng of /pin-knights yet to perform.
1t may be we'll be figured that some of
these will be able to get above the
mark set by the Union county boys,
even though, to do it. worlds records
will probably have to be broken.
The ~recordholders themselves will
soon have a try. The Roseville big
Five" which bowled SAL two seasons
ago in New York, is expected to be
scheduled early next month. and the
committee will see that bowlers of high
calibre are selected to go on with the
Rosevilles, so that the event may be
carded as a sort of an "all-star night
Interest in the tournaments of the Ma
tlonal Bowling Association, which are TO be
held in May and JUNG, on the ne d alleys 10 %
York, is increasing daily. An entry list OF
at least 500 teams Is assured for the five
man competition and the committee now
believes that it will be called upon TO handle
as many as 700 teams. Besides a large
number of the bowlers who take part in the
five-man will also compete ia the individual
and two-man competition, and 1t has been
figured that more than 10000 games will. be
rolled during the period between May "A and
June Il.
1t was because THE EVENING STAR
appreciated that there would be a general
desire on the part of Newark bowlers TO
enter this big national competition that
il was decided to award the prizes in the
head-pin tournament at the Iroquois Acad-'
Nemy in the shape Of entrance fees to the
National Bowling Association tournament,
in THE EVENING STAR head-pin tour
nament will be entered in the fve-man
competition in New York, and the Individual
members of the team will be entered in
the individual series.
The second team in THE EVENING
STAR head-pin tournament will be entered
in the five-man tourpament in New York;
The entrance Zee is 50 per man for each
event. so it can be easily figured that the
first prize in the head-pln tournament is
worth $50 and the second SO.
The competition for the gold watch fobs
offered by THE EVENING STAR to those
keen as that for the team prizes. Individ-
uals do not suffer because some member
or members of a team fail to come up to
expectations. Good bowling is rewarded by
a Souvenir for the individual. AS it has
been shown that the feat of rolling 100
in a head-pin game is a highly creditable
one. especially on real test alleys like
those al the Iroauois Academy, those who
secure the watch fobs may be proud of
them.
Gus Woelhe, of the Subway alleys. will
start a three-man tournament next week,
and is ready to receive entries. The en-
trance fee will be ten bones" and it is
expected that twenty teams will enter In
the tournament. We've only published this
item twenty times this season, SO it must
be so.
Fred voicht. of the Tuxedo alleys, has
taken up the bowling game, and it is
rumored that,he is doing great things. He
confines his bowling to the early, part OF
one of his victime yesterday.
Lee Johns. is going TO roll William Dur
kin a Greater New York and intercity in
day night on the. oxford alleys. Johns
says that he is going to celebrate the day
with a victory.
Guess Andy Graef, of the. Nationals, can't
shoot duck pins. He has been cleaning up
some of the big ones at the Tuxedo in
practice games.
Jimmy Whatton and kid" Gindsley
hooked up against Billy Neale and Chester
Van Nostrand in a little match last night
opa the Tuxedo alleys, -Four games were
rolled and each team won two games. The
former combination now wants a return ,
match. Billy and Chester are going to ac-
commodate them.
Genial Jack Whatton is still bowling and
Pete Bey claims that Jack should get into
another class. He is too speedy for the
lesser lights" !
