CRITERION CLUB IN
SUBURBAN LEAGUE
Bowling Organization to Start
Season Oct. 10 With Seven
Club Circuit.
FRED ULRICH PRESIDENT

With the addition of the Criterion
Club, the Suburban Bowling League
for the season of 1914-15 will be
composed of seven. teams. The
Criterion Club, which occupies the
club rooms at Lincoln avenue and
Arlington street formerly held by
the Park Athletic Association, made
application for membership at
meeting of the Suburban League
held at the National Turner head
quarters, in Bruce street. last night
and was unanimously elected. The
new organization, which takes the
place held by the Ell1s last year, was
represented at last nights meeting
by Nathan Harris. Six of the Stu
burban League teams had members
at the meeting, Belleville bein" rep
resented by proxy. In the election
of officers Fred Ulrich was chosen as
president for the second time, while
i. Glare Cyphers was again elected
as secretary.
The Suburban League season will
open rather early this year. Begin
ming Monday, October 10, Bay View
will be seen at Northern. On We'd
nesday, October u, Belleville's bowl
ers will meet the Criterion Club, and
Celluloid will come together.
The clubs and their representatives
present at the meeting held last
night were: Nationals, Fred Ulrich:
Bay View. Hugh Cort; Celluloid,
George Deitz; Northern Republican,
L. Glare Cyphers and Benjamin
Nathan; Kruger, Jack Speary;
Criterion. Nathan Harris.
The team prize money will be the
same as last year, as will the en-
trance fee, the latter being SIS. The
$25 and third, $40. The individual
prizes consist of $40 to first man. SIS
to second and SO to third
Providing the Newark League is
organized again, which appears
doubtful at this stage, it is the in
tention of the suburban leaguers to
issue a challenge for q post season
series at the end of the season. Last
season the National Turner'S. of the
Newark League, defeated the Krueg-
ers, of Suburban League, in the post
season games.
Northern's Prospects Bright.
The Northern Republican team,
with Andy Hellman at the helm, bids
fair to give the last season cham
pionship Kruger team a hard battle
for first honors. The Northern bowl
ers also have the apparent plum
dates of the schedule, rolling the last
three matches on their home alleys
Four of last years veterans remain
to represent the team in the league.
Andrew Holman, e. Glare Cyphers,
Benjamin Nathan and Fred Ryerson
form the quartet of bowlers from
last years five who will again be
seen on the alleys. Eugene Norris
sey who last year was the back
bone of the squad, has left the club.
While his presence will undoubtedly
be missed there seems to be
wealth of material on hand and the
chances are bright GO fill the va
cancy. Wesley Read and Edward
Cooper rolled few games last sea-
these bowlers will fill in as fifth
man. James Todd may also get in
action with the suburban leaguers.
Criterion BowIers Hopeful
Members of the Criterion Club ex-
pect to make a good showing. The
new club has several members who
have figured prominently in athletics
at High School and who have rolled
in various tournaments in this city.
Abe Rachlin and Harry Davimos, for
mer stars in athletics at the Bar
ringer High School, and Lester Fin
ger another former Barringerite, are
out for places on the team. Others
who will be seen in action are Milton
Hanock, Herbert Cries, Clarence
Hanock. Albert Schlesinger, Harry
and Morton Stearn.
Deitz's Work Successful.
Much credit is due George Deitz,
who made a strong fight to have the
Celluloid Club represented in the Sub
urban League this season. The attn
letic board at the Down Neck club
apparently was in favor of having
the bowling team pass up the Sub
urban League. but Deitz prevailed
upon the committee, and as result
the Celluloid bowlers will again be
heard from. -Four members or the
1913-1914 team, George Deitz, Louis
Boehm, Terrence Farley and Thomas
Conroy. will be seen in action. Two
new members of the club, charles
Cook and William Benton, are ex-
pected to bolster the team. Pat Gin
die. who rolled in two or three
matches last season, is also expected
out with the squad. A house tourna-
ment will be held beginning tomor-
row night From this tournament the
bowling committee expects to pick
representative five. George Seaman,
who rolled with the team for many
wears. has decided to retire from the
game, according to reports.
Bay View situation Unsettled.
With only three members of last
years team having announced their
intention of again resuming work on
the alleys, the outlook does not APP
pear bright at Bay View Wheelmen
Headquarters. William Hultzhauer,
John Taylor and Hugh Cort appear
to be ready for action, but nothing
has been heard from Harry critchett
and William Maggie as to their inten-
lions to bowl A house tournament
viii probably get under way next
week. from which the bowlers to rep
resent the Wheelmen will be chosen.
Kruegers and Turner's intact.
The Kruger team, last years
champions, will have practically the
same team, as will the National Tur-
ners. On the Kruger quintet will
be seen Andy Graef George Suffer,
| Edward Brannigan, Louis Van Ness
and Jack Speary. The Nationals will
probably be composed of William
Graef. Nicholas Zazzali, Max Brook
er. Gus Schmauder and John Byrnes.
lust who will make up the Belleville
team has not been decided upon, but
| IL is believed that the combination
' will be thet same as represented the
suburban club last season.
