Up AGAINST L
IN THE SOUTH
Rochester Club Unable to Book
Exhibition Games with
Smaller Organizations.

Although il is not known that orders
from President kavanaugh. of the
Southern League have been received
placing practical boycott on American
Association and Eastern League clubs
by members Of the Southern Associa-
ton, facts developing today tend TO
show that no teams from those circuits
will DE booked for spring exhibition
games.
Efforts in behalf of the Rochester East
ern League Club to secure permission to
use the local park for spring training pur-
poses and to book games failed, although
railroad and other influential officials inter-
coded for Manager CANCEL, the new Roch-
ester leader.
Rochester also wanted games at Little
Rock, but those acting for the club We're
told that the dates We're all closed for ex-
hibitions. Milwaukee played a series mere
last spring, but, according to management
here, win not be listed again.
The minor league troubles when Eastern
and Americans tried for higher classification
than the Southern is supposed to have
caused the practical boycott.

tically invincible on the Oxford drives, but
such is not the case today. Still, with any,
thing like an even break Of luck, Johns
should certainly make an excellent showing
against the champion, with about an even
chance of securing a victory.
Billy Weingarth is also to go up against
Smith this week, meeting the latter on the
Park Circle alleys, in sroohlyn. Perform
ing on his rivals own drives, the Tuxedo
pin-knight will naturally be up against a
big handicap. If he should be able to hit
the pins as he does when he's at the top
OF his form, he may be able, however, to
show Smith the way.
A move has been made to arrange for
local entries to the National Bowling Asso-
citation tournament in Manhattan in May.
A meeting of the Newar Bowling Associa-
ton has been called for Sunday at the Ok
ford drives. At this time the reorganiza-
tlon OF the local association will be effected.
All entries from this section to the Ma
tionuf tournament must be made through
the Newark Bowling Association.
That Suburban League match on tine West
End Clubs alleys tonight should be a
corker. The Bay View Wheelmep, with a
lead of four games, feel pretty comfortable
thank you. But that won't prevent the
West Ends from going at them with a will.
The West Ends have by far the best aver
age in the Suburban League to date, and, at
home, will probably make it interesting for

Revenge tasted mighty sweet to the Clark
A. A. team yesterday, when they walloped
the ground with the Paterson Rangers, who
defeated them New Years Day and put

were gained easier than expected by the

After a rest of two weeks the Newark
League bow4ers are to get into action
again. They have completed but one-third
OF their schedule for 1908 -1909, and, though
the Kruegers are enjoying a fairly good
lead, there are pretty sure to be big
changes before the last match is decided.
Nevertheless, If the Belmont avenue boys
keep up anything approaching the gait they
nave displayed so far, they should get un-
der the wire first.
A record of IL victories and but 4 de-
over the LOCO mark, these being 1904, 1,026
and 1,007, all go to prove that the Kruegers
are pinning some.
Behind them in the race come the Parks,
who have captured IL games and lost G..
The Nationals are third, with IL wins and
7 defeats, and next come the West Ends
and RoSevil1eS, who have each captured 10

In the Newark League schedule this week
some promising contests are carded. The
West Ends are to visit the Park A. A. al
leys tomorrow night and should get a warm
reception The kruegers will pay q call on
the First Ward Republican Club in Orange
street tomorrow. night, and the politicians

until Friday night, and will then he at
home against the Belleville Five. The Rose
villes will take on the Republican Indian

chances, figuring on form, would seem to
favor the Nationals, Park and Rosevilles,

matches this week should be that between
the North End and Newark Bay fves, in
Bayonne, Friday night. TIL North Ends ap-
pear to be capable of some pretty fast
work. and If they get in their stride they
may spring a surprise on the yachtsmen.
The Rosevnles, who are far below their
usual standing in the Athletic League race,
probably do not regard the trip which they
are scheduled to make tonight to the alleys
of the Columbia Club, in Hoboken, with
over-much pleasurable anticipation. AS the
dope in the Athletic League race, how
ever, has failed to come up to expectations
on not g few occasions, it may be that the
