A meeting was held in Ellis’s billiard hall, last ‘Tuesday •evening by the men interested in forming a local bowling league. It was decided to form a league of four teams, The teams will be known as the Waverly team, the Central team, the Criterion team, and the “Has Beens.”
The Waverly team will be composed of the old “Fleming’s” bowlers who rolled last year. The bowlers will be Stewart, Brown, Balduf, Baker, and Lombard. The Central team will include Gillooly, Bateman, Barry, Jackman, and Coughlin. Hale, Saulter, Tannyhill, Kiley, and DeAlmeida make up the Criterion team, while Smith, Roby, Rea, Readel, and Ellis will compose the “Has Beens” and they will strive to prove that they are not quite “gone-by” as their name implies.
With the forming of this league, greater interest is being shown in bowling than has been the case since Norwood was represented in the “New Century League” and won the championship, four seasons ago. The present series of matches will be watched with interest as the “Has Beens” team is chiefly composed of bowlers who were the champions at that time. The following is an official schedule of the games :
