ELkS HAVING
REAL BATTLE
Second Half League Games
Equally as interesting as
First Half

The finish of the Elks second half
bowling league promises to be equal
ly as interesting as the first half
championship which was won by the
Madisons in a playoff set, judging
from the present standing and the
games scheduled for the next two
weeks.
Tonight the Ironclad and Madison
teams hook up and the former has
a two game hold on first place. the
Starish bowlers holding second
place. The Madisons should win two
out of three games from the Iron
clads in tonights set and the latter's
lead will be cut to a game and a half
while the first half champions win
be two games from the leaders.
On Friday night of this week the
Starfish combine will take on the
Sterlings, and a three game victory
for the first mentioned team would
cause a tie for the lead. Then a week
from tonight the match between the
Starfish and Ironclad teams, and the
league would be decided.
There are six matches remaining
to be rolled in this circuit, the Madi-
sons and Ironclads tonight, Nationals
and PAGERS Wednesday night, the
Starfish and Sterlings Friday night,
Starf1sh and Ironclads next Monday
night, Nationals and Sterlings a week
from Wednesday night and the Mad
isons and PAGERS a week from Fri
day night. The first and second half
champions will engage in a match
after April 10.

Annexes Y. M. C. A.. Court
Championship by Beating
Trenton and Bayonne

The Morristown z. NJ. C. A. bas-
ketball team annexed the state Z. M.
c.. A. championship at Summit on
Saturday night by defeating Trenton
Central and Bayonne combinations
the same evening. Madison won the
championship last year.
In the initial encounter of the eve
ming, Morristown nosed out Trenton
Central to the tune of a 1899 score.
The battle was a nip and tuck affair
throughout. Railway and Bayonne
went on in the second semi-final
contest and the latter outfit won to
the tune of a 1899 score.
After a rest of an hour and a half,
Mcrristown and Bayonne went out
for the final, the former team win
ming by two points, $3.50. 1t was
quite a stunt for Bayonne and Nor
ristown to play two closely contest
ed games in one night particularly
after they played In a championship
game the previous night.
The Perth Amboy Y. M. G. A.
team, Elizabeth Y. NJ. G. A. the
Madison team and a number OF
other combinations we're eliminated
in the preliminary state champion
ship games. Granville, a st. Bene-
dict prep school man playing with
Morristown, was the shining light
in the championship games.

Gingras, former Recreation mounds

Gingras Is of the few men who
registered a victory over the Lincoln
Giants last year. His magnificent
work with the Jersey City Red Sox
attracted the attent' n of Manager
Oertzen of the Plainfield Recreations
when the latter's star pitching staff
was somewhat crippled. Gingras, it
is said, has received ON staggering
offers from leading semi-pro mines
throughout the metropolitan district.
Regardless of the fact that his
own combination is the best tmboy
has had and the teams to be. booked
will be of the best, anager Poulsen
will not charge a larger price for
admission to the game. than was
charged in former season Instead
he has decided to cut down five cents
on the grandstar.d. making 1t twenty
five cents instead of thirty, and if

instead of twenty. The adults adj

Announcements to be made b the
