M,cANN AND MoRToN ACRE
VIII Meet This Week to Sign Articles for
Bowling Match.

| f. II. Norton and P. H. Mccain had a
| quiet consultation Saturday night and
| agreed to roll twelve-hour match in the
near future. probably one week from
+, Tuesday night although the date has not
/ been definitely decided vet. The princi-
| pals will meet early in the week TO- sign
| articles of, agreement and appoint the date
OF the match, which viii be rolled at the
The announcement that the men are to
come together will come in the nature OF
surprise to the bowling fraternity OF Wor-
cester. although it has been prophesed
that the men would get together event
ually. Mccain, while backed by the men
ing, could not roll on the Pearl street al
leys but with this backing off, Mccain IS
left to do as he pleases in the matter, and
has decided that ne Will roll Norton on
the formerly forbidden territory.
The admirers Of both men feel conhdent
that each will win. Norton's friends claim
that he has a big advantage from the fact
that he has rolled four tWelYe-hour
matches, three with Wilson, and one with
Mattison, winning all except the second
match with Wilson, while this Will be NC
advanced Is that Mccain viii be handi-
capped by the crowd and the attending
difficulties of a match of this sort.
On the other hand, Mccain is IN per-
feet condition, and although suffering
from slight cold at the present time
will doubtless be in good shape by the
date of the match McCann Is on the al
leys daily, and consequently in good prac-
tice. He feels no apprehension on ac-
count of the tendency to get ratified before
a crowd, and although he has never par
ticipated in twelve-hour match, he feels
confident that he will make creditable
showing.
