Tlie highest average for throe games made so fur this season was made on Monday night last by "Hilly" Hopkins, of the liuckus team, who made 19-1, a truly wonderful record. It wns n night of high averages all around, Hurtl, of the F.Iks, and Taylor, of Green HIdge No. 1 team, milking LSS each, and Hlehl, of the Hlks, making l&n. K It's ti close race now between the Haektis, Hlnck Diamonds and West Knds for llrst place In the Northeast ern league. The two former teams ate tied for the honor, but they haven't got a "cinch" on It by any manner of means. The teams which bowled poorly at the beginning of the srasou have all been strengthened, and all are rolling with the best. The Hlks' tuiin. which was thought to be out of the race en tliely, at the beginning of the season, is now one of the strongest and had -'.r.Oti ' plus to Its credit last Monduv night. 6". There Is no question but that tho Northeastern league will be continued after the present series of games have been lolled, The schedule committee will meet shortly to arrange for a new schedule for u second season, to begin Immediately after the present expires. Several of tho teams will be reorgan ized, but the personnel of the league will remain practically the same. It Is questionable whether the Hi cycle Clubs' league will continue in ex istence after their season explris. The nuiubeiship now consists of two teams fiom the West L'ml Wheelmen and two from the Gieen HIdge Wheelmen, tho Hii'.vclu club team having diopped out for lack uf Interest. This and the fill titer fact that the schedule of this league provides for games till the end of January, makes tho likelihood of a couUiiUiiiice utter that date very slight. The games scheduled tor tnuiglit tiro as follows: West Kud vs. Hlks, on the former's alleys: Mack Diamonds s, Hurkus, on tho former's alleys; Green HIdge Wheelmen s. Scranion Hlcyclo club, on the former's alleys. We like to inform our customers and the public that we have not moved from our .present location.
