KEEP ON WINNING
Capture Two More Games on
Alleys of the Newark

Keeping up the same brand of accu-
rate pinning that has marked its eff
forts from the start of the season, the
New York A. c. team won two more
games in an Athletic Bowling League
series on the alleys of the Newark Bay
Club. at Rayonne, last night The Wis
iting combination averaged 98i.1 for
the evening, and in the last game the
team totalled 1924, its best effort
thus far
This high total was made possible
because Of the fine rolling Of Sam Rob
erts. who worked in a pa score. Rob
crts began the series b. getting 24l
in the first tilt, and his average Of
22G.2 for the three games enables him
to retain q tight hold on first place in
the individual average race. The sec

New Manager of Tip Tops
Says Spirit Back of
Federal League In
huenced Him.

In establishing the fact that money
alone did not decide the issue between
the Cardinals and the Tip Tops. in the
bidding for his services, Lee Magee,
new manager of the Brooklyn team in
the Federal League, says that he was
one of an army of players whose hopes
had been with the new league from its
inception.
Magee admits that when he returned
from the worlds tour last spring and
chose between the Independents and
the National League he was influenced
by the wealth Of arguments presented
by organized baseball against the
chances of the new league '.eeping in
the game. When Robert b. Ward.
president Of the Brooklyn Feds, closed
recently with Magee for the latter's
services as playing manager next sea-
son. the youngest leader in the three
larger circuits explained his stand.
IAN army OF players wanted 20 en-

good reasoning Of those leaders who

GOLF KANDICAPS
SLOW COMING IN
Half the Clubs in United

with Data.

Practically half the clubs affiliated
with the United States Golf Associa-
tion are tardy in making their handi-
cap returns. The time set for the plac-
ing Of such data in the hands of the
executive committee was two weeks
ago. so unless there should be a speedy
awakening the handicappers will have
little 10 report in the way OF progress
at the approaching annual meeting.
Among the delinquents appear the
names Of prominent active clubs, as
well as many of the smaller fry. One
Of the reasons for this annual tardi-
ness is because a majority Of the clubs
are inactive in the winter. Following
