AMB0Y 5 BOWLERs

There is a belief prevalent among
some of the local bowlers that the
Amboy Five can be beaten by a COM
bination of local Primers. They are
going out to try and, as result, 1t
is expected that there will be a new
bowling team in the field in a short
time, to be known as the Imperials.
Indications are that they will chal-
lenge the Amboy Five for their first
match, which will most likely be
staged on the Imperial alleys.
Present indications are that Lydi-
ard, Evans, Stegemeyer, Dunn, Jen-
sen and Toft will comprise the new
club. Thus, it will be seen that the
new team is made up of old and new
material of ten-pin timber in the city.
The Tuesday Night Club members
practiced bowling on the Imperial
alleys last night. The Yomechas and
the American Smelling & Refining
Works team are scheduled to come

night On Friday night the Tuesday
Night Club will go up against local

on those alleys.
Arrangements are being made for

ROOSEVELT SUNDAY

Joe Mullen, booking manager of
the Franklin B. B. c., will pit his
strong aggregation of baseball toss
ers against the Roosevelt A. C. Sun
day at Recreation Park, Woodbridge,
in a game that will open the season
for both teams.
With an especially strong lineup
the Franklins, according to their
manager, may be depended upon to
bring home the bacon. There is a
possibility that Harry Applegate,
erstwhile Atlantic Lacquer, may ap-
pear on the mound for the local nine
this season. Applegate, it is under
stood, has failed to reach salary
agreement with the management of
the PAGERS, and pending settlement
he may return to the Franklin fold
"Rudie" Simonsen and Mike Olsen,
however, stand ready to take up the
pitching burden, and Mullen is not
losing much sleep over his pitching
material. ''Tom'' Mullen Of Plain
field will do the receiving for. the To-
.H6pys, and the lineup will proba-
bly, include such Hen as Coley, Fos-
ter, Wilson, FSerkuss, S. Simonsen,

An anonymous writer wants to
know why scores of the Amboy Five
and Jersey City P. R. R. Y. M. c. A.
bowling match we're not published
Monday night.
There was no match between these
teams, as scheduled. Neither side
had their regular team at hand and
because they could not assemble
their regular combination the Am
boyans started out about an hour
late. They used one man who had
never rolled ball down an alley be-
fore. Sides were formed at Jersey
City and two games were bowledr
but the teams that were to have met
agreed that the games would not
figure on the regular schedule, be-
cause neither side was fully repre-
sented.
1t has been agreed that the teams
shall meet in regularly scheduled
match some time next week, the date
for which has not been definitely
fixed as yet.

equip the team. Slightly more than
