The price of paper has increased
so much in the last few years that

signed a contract to play this year
with the New Bedford. Mass, nine of
the New England League. Bausewine,
who is but 10 years old, is considered
one of the fastest semi-professional
players in this vicinity and he gives
promise of improving as he grows older.
HE gets .'em anyway they come at
him, = said one OF his admirers yes

Bausewine. played first base last sea
SON for the Watsessings and made Il
great record for himself. He also
played other positions on the team
successfully. and at ii time occu-
pied the pitchers box.
Blink as he is called by his many
friends. is very popular with the fans in
Bloomfield. and Manager Archie Daley
is. very sorry that he is compelled to lose
the services of so fine a player. In spite
of all that, however. his friends are glad
to see him mounting the baseball ladder
and predict for him n brilliant future.
Bausewine will play first base for New
Bedford. He is a good sticker nHd one of

WEST ENDS ROLL
RECORD SCORE IN.
NEWARK LEAGUE
Made 1876 on Own Alleys.
RoseviIles Take Second
Place in the Dark.
BY BERT DODGE.

Sensational and interesting bowling
matches were quite the rule on nearby
alleys last night.
Probably the biggest stunt was that
which the West Ends performed on
their ownsdrives. 1t was that of tally
ing 1.016 n thereby setting a new rec
ord for. singlc-game score in the New
ark League. The former figures were
1.076,. also to the credit Of the West
Ends. p.
Then, at the Roseville alleys, the Ath-
letic Leaguers won three games from
the Columbia Clu pin-knights and this
! put everybody in good humor, even If
the totals were not remarkably high
The Rosevilles went into second place,
only a shade behind the Elizabeths, for
the New York bowlers, who formerly
trailed the Betsytown pin-knights, got
but two games in Jersey City.
And then at the Newark Turn Verein
the home quintet accounted for a tally
OF ], 021, which is some pinning for a
! Suburban League FIVE. :.
In reviewing the happenings of the busy
night 1t should not be forgotten that the
lights went out. That Is. the electricity
and it was semi-darkness during a short
period near the close of the last game.
The improvised glim that was produced
was sure-nuf gloom, but the boys kept at
the work Of knocking down the pins and
made some good scores. 90. 1t happened
that the fRosevilles had cinehed the game
before the electric Juice, failed to, flow,
