nOwLING will start Monday night
in the STAR headpin
on the Iroquois alleys in Wash
ington street. The teams already en-
tered number close to 800. and the
special nights that have beer applied
for are SO numerous that it is hard to
calculate, just now, how many quin-
tets are really in line for the biggest
bowling competition that New Jersey
ever had.
"Chippy" Blum, who runs bowling
alleys up In Woodside, has asked for q
special night. He has guaranteed ten
teams and expects to have more than
that. Blum is now bowling with the
Elks in the Newark League and is
making good. He rolled in the head
pin tournament last season and had
six North End teams in line.
There are any number OF promising
hves entering. Some of the latest to
get in line are the Red, White and Blue
Bowling Club, made up of employees
Of the Nangels & Schmidt Baking Com
pany; the Trolley Five, the Public Serv-
Ice team; the Orange Valley No. 2
team, the Central A. c., the st. Mich
6CA . EkfOs lIOIu GllLdDolus Inc COiUm-
bia Bowling Club, the Gould & Eber-
hardt No. 2 team and the Riverside
r. c., Of Woodside.

the opening night:

For the benefit Of those who have
not been informed as to the conditions
OF b STAR headpin bowling tourna-
ment it may be well TO repeat that the
coming competition will be the third
annual renewal of the big event. The
STAR inaugurated the headpin COM
petition two seasons ago, and had a
little less than 1900 bowlers in line.
Last season the list was increased to
exactly $500 bowlers, and with such an
increase from the first season 1t is
naturally expected that the record will
be boosted much higher next season.
The prize list this season totals $125,
In addition to which the STAR, as
usual. will present to each bowler who
makes a score of 100 or more out of a
possible l20 a ouvenir watch-fob. The
competition for these trophies has al
ways been keen, and as it is no easy
task to reach the century mark it is
rightly considered that it is no mean
honor to have the right to wear one Of
the fobs.
The s125 in prize money will be divid-
ed as follows:
First team prize, 500.
Second team prize, $40.
Third team prize, SI5.
First Individual prize. $40.
Second individual prize, 70.
Third individual prize, 50.
Fourth individual prize, Sc.
Fifth Individual prize, IS.
Sixth Individual prize, IS.
