BIG TURNOUT TO DATE
sSixty-seven Teams Have Taken
Part in Pinning on Iroquois
Alleys.

Imperial Malta Night is TO inau-
gurate the second week of the bowling
competition in The Star headpin tour
nament on the Iroquois alleys. These
bowlers, who will perform tonight are
under the management of Jean Furay.
They had a special night last season
and made a good showing.
Considering that there was bowling
but four nights last week. on account
of a Misunderstanding about the
schedule compelling all hands to be
idle Wednesday night. il is remark
able that no less than sixty-seven
teams turned out for the first week
in The Star headpin tournament.
Last season the average number Of
teams per night was a trifle over
twelve, while so far this season the
average is almost seventeen teams
For so early in the tournament 1t is
certainly an excellent showing. The
Belleville Club bowlers had twenty
teams out the first night, George A.
Halsey Council, Jr. .. L. A. NJ, was
represented by fifteen teams the sec
ond night: the Atha Tool Company's
special night attracted twelve teams
and "Klaxon Night had a turnout OF
twenty teams. Altogether 1886 bowlers

for one of the silver watchfobs which
The Star offers to those who have
scores from 100 to 10. No one has as

First Club Night"
There are so many special nights !
being arranged that it seems almost |
certain that there will be few of the |
club nights, when organizations which |
are unable to get together the ten |
teams necessary to qualify for a spe- |
cial night, are put on. The following |
teams will roll tomorrow night. Two !
teams from the Madison A. A, two |
from the Stars, of Overlook; two |
from the Sacred Hearts, of Elizabeth; |
three from the Populars, three from |
the Excelsiors, of Elizabeth, and two |
from Astorias, of this city.
Mergotts Are TO Bowl.
The bowlers from the j. f. r.. Mer- |
eott Company are to have a special |
night Wednesday in The Star headpin |
tournament. 1t is figured that there |
will be a turnout Of from twelve to
fifteen teams The committee of ar
rangements, composed Of Gus Koch |
and &c. Wissert, are working hard for
the success of the affair. They will
endeavor to have the first squad go on
the alleys about Z o'clock.
Leonard Measal, who is in charge of
the arrangements for "Rubberset |
Night" which is to be celebrated
Thursday, says that the Rubberset |
Company bowlers are going to have a
real night" A lot of them have been
around practicing, so that they will be
able to qualify for fobs, and lot more
ara going to try their luck tonight. |
IL Is figured that "Rubberset Night |
will attract at least twenty teams.
The second week in the big competi- 1
ton win be brought TO a close Friday /
night, which has been dubbed "Edi- |
son Night" Otto Flelg is the mana
ger. While various aggregations of
bowlers connected with the Edison ina
tlustries have rolled in The Star head
pin tournament in former seasons, it
appears that this particular bunch is
composed of bowlers new to the game.
They expect, nevertheless, to make
good showing.
