the five-man tournament of the Ma
tional Bowling Association in New
York in May, and each member of the
team will be entered in the individual
tournament of the National Bowling
Association. At IS per man this will
mean that the first prize is worth $50.
The members of the second team will
be entered In the f1ve-1nan tournament,
but not in the individual tournament.
AS published yesterday, it has been
decided that it will be necessary to close
the entry list tomorrow night. In order
to finish the tournament by the middle
of April, ever with eight teams bowling
each Wednesday and Friday nights, but
few more teams than have already n
in their names car be handled. There
fore, it behooves each team that desires
to make a crack at the pins to get in
line today or tomorrow.
While the team totals already put up
have been excellent, the Park Athletic
Associations Newark League five is
showing the way with 497, and it is gen.
orally believed that the 500-mark will
be passed ere long. The calibre of the
teams which have entered is good, and
though, to reach a towering figure, each
member of the five will nave to be in
his best form, some of the crack quin-
tet will doubtless soon hand in a total
approaching or passing the worlds rec
ord mark of 81, held by the Roseville
Big Five
Maybe it will be the Rosevilles them
selves who will do the trick, for they are
entered in this tournament and are ex-
pected to be scheduled before long.
Queries are being received from time to
time regarding whether such-and-such. a
foam has hppn Grhn1n1ad IF fn4mG which
have entered will carefully watch the
schedule published each day in THE EVE
whether or not they are expected to bowl.
The schedule provides for engagements
some two weeks ahead, and all competitors
have, therefore, ample notice.
Other teams wish to know what team
is meant when it is announced that a GER
tain team is to bowl. While it is APP
designated themselves by titles similar. it
will be noticed that the schedule commit
tee has been. careful to give some title
which will identify each team. There
should be no confusion at all If captains
will carefully note just what teams are
mentioned in the schedule.
For the benefit of an anxious inquirer"
it is said here that the Roseville Colts,
who are scheduled to bowl Friday night,
team is made up of Arthur Willis. Will
lam Hammacher, Lawrence Barker, Frank
McDermitt and Draper Gregory. There
has been no entry received from the st.
Roses team. The Intcrscholastics are in
formed that they will be given a date in
February, if possible.
oh. what's the use of bowling dope any
way? Everybody figured that the New
York A. c. five was going to clean up on
its own alleys last night in an Athletic
League match with the Columbia. Club PIN
knights. Instead, the Hoboken boys take
the Manhattan five into camp, winning
three games in a row.
Roseville missed a fine chance to make
a big gain on the former leaders by Win
ming but two games out of three from the
Jersey City Club bowlers on the ~latters
alleys last night. That in itself might be
considered a creditable performance, but
a glance at the low totals in the first two
an even break, gives one an idea of how
the N~ewarkers failed to take advantage
of their opportunity. They tied the cham
pion Elizabeths for third place, at that.
Belleville bowlers are figuring that they
had little in the way of good luck handed
out to them last night. The Suburban
totals of 949 and 92S in the first two games
of a match with the Parks last night, only
to lose by margins of four and five pins,
respectively. It was no wonder the boys
dropped back to 1893 in the last game, losing
by forty-four pins.
The Parks. on the other hand, are thank
full for the favors from Dame Fortune
which allowed them to take three games
and tie the West Ends for second place
in the Suburban League race.
Those alley owners don't seem to be
