 Through.
 The Meriden Republican says: The scheme of forming a state bowling league composed of Odd Fellows has not met with success owing to the fact that Wallingford, one of the four pro- posed members, cannot secure a compe- tent team. The Hartford Odd Fellows are very anxious to push the proposi- tion, but as there would be no borough representation it would leave a three cornered league; and this Meriden, New Haven and Hartford three-llnkers dc not favor.
 Manager r. Charles Weisner said to- day that maybe New Britain will put in bid, but if it does not immediately the idea of forming a state league will be dropped. At present there is no hope for the league.
