NEW BRUNSWICK, March Is.
President Dobbins. of the Atlantis
League, was in conference with several
men who have been interested in base
bah here for ON years yesterday and
after going over the situation it was
decided to transfer the franchise held
by Paterson parties to New Brunswick.
This action was decided on because tile
people who We're to have owned the
team at Paterson could not secure a
lease on the property they were aftct.
The franchise has been given to James
Shine. who managed the New Bruins
wicks last year, and he intends to have
several business and professional MEN
here interested in the company which
he will form.
New Brunswick is red-hot for a pro-
fessional club in some league and will
no doubt support the venture hberails.

NEWARK LEAGUERS
AND ATHLETICS TO
FIGHT FOR TITLES
Rollers in These Races viii
Probably Decide Their Final
Standing This Week.
BY BERT DODGE.

Bowling championships may be won
and lost this week.
Both iif' the Newark and in the Ath-
letic League the issue Is in doubt, but
there are matches scheduled for to-
night and Friday night which may set
lie the matter.
In the Athletic League the Rose
vile, New York A. C. and Elizabeth
~pin-knights, who are so closely bunch
ed in the race for the flag, are all to
get into action tonight.
What makes these matches more In
toresting is the fact that the Manhat-
tan contingent and the champion quinn
tct fom Union county are going 10
meet. the battle being carded for the
alleys in New York.
While these rivals are lighting each
other, The Rosevilles Will be trying
their luck on the alleys Of the Passaic
Club. The going may be rather hard
for the big Five but the chances
would seem TO be in their favor. re
they get two out of three they will be
favorites for the title.
New York's last match Of the seAson
will be on the hard Columbia Club alleys.
Newark Bay Club in Bayonne-and every
body knows the kind of pace the Newark
Bay boys are likely to set on their own
drives. The Roseyilles, after their match
tonight, will have two series Mt home.
meeting the North Ends and Jersey Citys
In turn.
The other highly important series re-
ferred to is that to be bowled Friday
night, when the krueger and National
Turn Vereln ~pin-knights will get together
h. Il match on the Bruce street alleys.
The rivals are tied for first place IN the
Newark League, and appear to be in 3
/ position where either .one or the other
Will take the championship.
While the Kruegers are by no means
easy on any alleys. the Turner's, botne
at home. would seem to have an adyaA-
tage. The Belmont avenue quintet. hon
ever, has lots of experience in MANY
league and tournament affairs. and It will
probably be take your pick In betting.
