The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1909-01-25


There is certainly plenty to attract
the interest of local followers of the
bowling game during the present week.
The good things will be handed out
every night. One of the features should
be the meeting of Lee Johns and Willy
Weingarth on the Tuxedo alleys. 1t
was said that Weingarth might call on
Billy Noack to represent the Tuxedo
alleys in this Greater New York and
Intercity tournament series, but latest
reports are to the effect that Weingarth
will &c or himself against his Oxford
rival.
There is always something doing when
Johns and Weingarth clash. The latter
used to be able to outbowl Lee, but for
some time there has been little to choose
Johns has a better record than Vein
garth in the tournament and he will prob
ably be a ~favorite in the betting when the
alleys as we'll as sWeiny," and the latter
is probably not counting on any advan-
tage In this respect. It may be that over
effect of making the TALES lower than
the rivals usually put up, but, at any rate,
the fight is sure to be a real one all the
way.
That Athletic League race always inter-
ests everybody who follows the game.
New York is leading just now and the
back when the pinning is over this week
than they are now. Indeed it would not
be surprising to find them still farther
tertain the Columbia Club five from Ho-
boken tomorrow night, and it looks like
three In a row for the home team. The
Newark Bay Club quintet. which helds sec
ond place, will be at home" Friday night
against the Montclair Clubs representa-
tives. While the Bayonne pin-knights are
expected to show the way, 1t would not be
at all surprising. to find the suburbanites
giving them the hardest kind of a battle.
The Elizabeth Club five is not scheduled
to bowl this week, but the Rosevilles are
bowlers in Jersey City tomorrow night,
and anticipate, doubtless, q hard-fought
series. The North Ends will go to Passaic
Wednesday night. The Passaics have been
make 1t interesting for almost any team
on their own alleys and the North Ends
will probably have their hands full.
In the Newark a
1t may be that the Kruegers will find
fheir lead in the Newark League race still
further diminished this week. They have
an advantage now of two games each way
and the second half of the schedule is
about TO be taken up, The leaders are
carded to perform tonight on the Northern
Republican Clubs alleys and it would not
be surprising to find the politicians in front
in at least one game. The West Ends, who
are lieu WITH the NdtlOnalS IOr SeCOnu
place, are to entertain the Celluloids Fri
day night and they should be able to take
three In a row., as the series Is on their
own alleys. The Nationals will nave a
much harder proposition, for they are to
perform Wednesday night on the Roseville
alleys, and will be fortunate to get more
than one game.
Those Bay View bowlers have such an
advantage in the Suburban League race that
all are beginning to consider that they have
all but won the championship. They will
bowl at home this week, meeting the Rose
villes Thursday night.
There will be considerable local interest
this week in the Eastern League matches,
though the Newarks nave completed their
string. The New Yorks and Elizabeths,
who are fighting the Tuxedo pin-knights in
the f1ve-man and two-man series, respec-
lively, are scheduled to perform. The Man
haitian bowlers will take on the Pater-
sonians today, the pinning to be done IN
the Morning side alleys, In Manhattan. The
Elizabeths will go to Trenton Thursday.
Newark can only be beaten out for the
1ve-man title by the New Yorks, and the
latter must win six straight games to do
the trick. The New Havens, however, have
a chance to tie the Newarks, as have the
New Yorks. The Nutmeg State p~in-knights
can turn the trick by winning their three
remaining games, while the New Yorks
need five out OF six. Elizabeth is now
showing the way in the two-man, having
a shade on the Newarks. This came about
