The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1909-01-26

The prizes OF 500 for the first team
and S25 for the second team, paid
in the shape of an entrance to
the big national competition, together
with the award of a gold watch fob
to each bowler who succeeds in getting
a score of 100 or better, are certainly
attractive enough to cause any bowler
to rush to get his name in, especially
as there is absolutely no charge for en-
tering or for bowling, and there is no
wonde at all expressed that the list
is a long one. THE EVENING STAR
expects to make this tournament an
annual affair and if any fail to get in
line this season they will be able to do
so next year.
Among the teams which entered last
night were the Hollywood Colts, the
Ossining team, the Arlingtons, the
Lawton Council five. of the Jr. o. U.
A. M. League; the Nutley Council quin-
tet, also of the Jr. o. U. A. M. League;
the Bruce A. c., of the NATIONAL Turn
Verein; the Darkwood Bowling Club,
the Carter-Howe team, the "a" team
from the National Turn Verein Satur-
day Night Bowling Club, the "B' team
from the same club, the Grove Bowl
ing Club. the Eagles, of East Orange;
the Hamilton Wheelmen No. 1 and No.
. teams, and two more teams from
Court South End. of the Independent
Order of Foresters. The Xaviers and
the Variations were also belated en-
tries.
The teams to bowl tomorrow night
are as follows:
Pestfmes.
Commercials.
Branch Brooks.
West ENDS Suburban League fse).

E,nsnon n.
HoIIyuoods.
Taiiyhos.
Followers of the bowling game had an
other lively night on local alleys last night
The league and tournament affairs were
legion.
While Lee Johns and Billy Weingarth both
pinned well in their match ON the Tuxedo
drives last night, the Oxford expert was
in better form and earned d decision. There
was considerable luck handed around. some
of the good sort and some of the other
brand. Both bowlers got their share OF
portunely he would undoubtedly have taken
a game or two, but the match went TO the
man who did the better pinning.
Those Republican lnuldp League PHI
knights certainly gave the West Ends a
big surprise last night. Two out OF three
in a Newark League match on the cham
plon teams alleys was the trick the Hepub-
Leans turned: 1t certainly spoiled the
home five's chances, for they were in sec
ond place and a clean sweep would have put
place.
Those leading Kruegers. too, got a set
back. They visited the Northerns' alleys
and found the politicians right on the lob.
The uptown pin-knights did their best
work Of the season, and got the odd from
the Belmont venue boys. If the Nationals
can secure three games straight tomorrow
night or the Roseville alleys they viii be
able to tie the Krusgers for first place.
The alley owners are going to get to-
gether again this afternoon, to complete
their organization. The meeting will be held
at the ~Iroquois Academy in Washington
street. The new association promises to be
a strong one, and it should do well In con-
nection with the Newark Bowling ASSoclu-
ton.
That three-man bowling tournament of
the Manufacturers League got under way
continue until late in April. The Carter
Howe team made n clean sweep of fo1r
games, beating the Patton Paint a and Cen
Ella Electric pairs. The latter broke even
when they engaged in n match.
There may possibly he a roll-on for the
ffve-man team title in the Eastern League,
but the New arks will probably take the
championship without having TO bowl again.
The New Ravens have a chance, however.
to get up even with the locals, provided
they win three games from the Trentons in
New Haven February l, and the New Yorhs
also have that chance, If they win three
games in Brooklyn February /.
