that they have plenty of confidence

with hard cash to win q hve-ga
match here. The match will consist
of five contests. all to be rolled at tho

Here is an excerpt from the columns
Of Lawrence newspaper concerning
the match:
The proposed match between Tom
keegan's bowling quintet and Wash
ington, D. c., at the latter place during
inaugural week is arousing a great
deal Of interest among the local fans
and in the public in general. 1t
means lots OF advertising for this city
and a suggestion has been made that
the local boys be given little re-
ception on the eve Of their departure
and presented bowling shirts with a
large insignia. Lawrence. Mass. in
give the patrons Of the game down
there an idea where the boys are
from and would show that they are
admired by wide-awake bunch Of
sports that don't lose single chance
to advertise their city. Many from this
town will accompany the team.
"The makeup of the team has been
decided and the following are selected:
Tom Keegan, Jimmy Ross, "Jollery''
Harrison. Emil Champey and Jack
Crowley. and to them will fall the task
of unfolding the honor Of our fair city
af nj Ave ~,
have figured in single and double
matches galore and contest Of this
kind will be nothing new to them. The
team is a representative one. Champey
is a representative Of the Lawrence
street alleys and is considered the best
bowler among local Italians; Harrison
has always led the bowlers Of the Eng
lish Social Club in its bowling tourna-
ments. having great head and steady
constitutions: Jimmy Ross halls from
smoothest Of the many Scottish bowlers
OF this city; Crowley. q representative
Of the Cath. Y. NJ. A., is in charge of
the Bowlaway alleys and is some pin
walloper; keegan had led all the pin
fighters in the Knights of Columbus
the alleys. He is great money
bowler and has never lost a match in
which he has been challenged singly
This Is one of the fastest teams that
could be gotten together in this city
and the bowling followers are sure of
its beating Washington's best.
The expense of this trip will be. of
course, great. but Yill be betrayed by
a little method Of the bowIers and all
fans will be allowed to get in on the

arranged for the match with Manager
HALEY of Washington.
Fans here and business men realize
the inestimable value Of this match
fore the public. and the boys should be
given every encouragement and helm
possible by local citizens.
The boys will probably leave next
Saturday and the match will take place
Wednesday night"
Judging from the above, the Laurence
people are making a city affair of the
match. 1t means something more to
them than ordinary intercity duckpin
competition. and rather does It appear
from their standpoint that 1t is a
matching of their town against the Ma
tional Capital. That being the case. II
Is up to local bowlers to get out and
lend enthusiastic support to Haley s
team.
It Is unfortunate that Harry Stanford
will not be able to roll for the Royals.
he is out of the game now with an
injured finger and probably will not
oo awe " poWl again Tor month or
more Eddie Howser is to roll in his
place, and Howser is not a slouch in
!ambastfng the naples. either. Pop
HALEY spoke in this way of the match;
I suppose this will be the hardest
match we have had. I am reliably
informed that the Lawrence bowlers
are almost masters of the art and sure
~ they come from the home Of lot of
mighty good pin spillers. We all re-
member the Mia Murray aggregation
which smashed things in the Alta NJ ,o
Coast Bowling Association tournament
last spring. and I am told that the
five which is to represent Lawrence
is but little inferior to Poehler. Walsh
& co. | look for a great match, with
lot Of big scores"
The 1nglesides made clean sweep
over the Government Printing Office
team in the National Capital League
Friday night. but had a narrow squeak
in two Of the games. The first contest
was won by SIS to $40. In the third,
however. Roy Whitford's aggregation
Just barely nosed out its opponent by
613 to 511 and in the fourth won by
534 to 533. Incidentally. the scores in
those last two games really do not tell
the story of how close the Inglesides
came to losing. because 1t took a mark
in the tenth box of each for them to
win. Here are the counts of that
