WEEKS MATCHES,
Casinos Have a Series With
the Infants.

City bowlers, as usual, have found
plenty of sport on the alleys the past
week. There is every prospect for as
much more in the coming seven days.
For every series of matches that have
terminated, arrangements have been
made for another. Those that are now
well under way with few exceptions,
give promise OF being full of interest,
of the competitions that closed the
past week, that at the Casino alleys
for the greatest number Of high score
games was perhaps the most important.
1t is deeply regretted that the match
should have resulted so unsuccessfully
at least that there should have been
any dispute as TO the winner. 1t was
an unfortunate incident that both men
should have been allowed to continue
the cOntest-eVen though they were in
the midst of a game after the stipulated
hour for ending all competition. Mean
while the gold and silver watches Of
fered for first and second prizes still
remain in Proprietor O'Neils alleys.
Thus far he has been unable to make
any disposition of the prizes that is
satisfactory to the parties most inter-
ested.
The Casino-Sherwood series of games
closed with last Tuesdays match, in
which the Casinos again showed their
superiority over Hurley's pets, and Won
the series by a good margin. With the
end of the series, the Sherwood team
has been erased from the local bowling
map. The SherWoods have not boWled
together very much this season, in fact,
some of the members of the team
lacked practice, and for this reason is in
a measure due the Casinos compare
lively easy victory.
Having vanquished the SheTwoods,
the Casinos, DESTROYS of continuing a
Etrins Of victories, have challenged the
Babies of the White alleys The chal-
lenge has been duly accepted, Capt
Eennessey and Hilbert have affixed
their signatures to the document, and
the first match will be rolled on the
White alleys, next Friday evening.
The articles of agreement are very
similar to those under which the city
bowling league of last winter conducted
its league schedule. The men who have
been named for the teams are as fol-
lows:
acknowledgements Van Solver, Wal
tiers, Norton, Doran, KiIey, Reid.
Babies-Gendron, Guthrie, Hill, Hill
bert. Munsey, Piper, Walbridge.
The game viii probably be played on
successive Friday evenings, alternating
from one alley to the other the location
of the rubber game being decided by the
toss of a coin.
The Infants and the Winthrops will
roll the second game in their series of
six games on the Winthrop alleys.
/ Thursday evening of this week. In the
first game of the series the Infants Sc
cured a lead of 46 pins, which the
Casinos, by having their home alleys
in their favor, hope to overcome on
Thursday.
In the event of the Infants defeating
the Winthrops in the entire series,
Capt. Stone and Manager Munsey of the
organization from Whites alleys are
! thinking with some degree of serious
ness about challenging the Babies for
the championship of Whites alleys, if
no other more important title can be
involved in such a contest There is
talk, too, of a match between the In
fants and a newly organized Boston
team on the Trinity court alleys.
/ Friday evening the Indian bowling
team of the Winthrop alleys goes to
| Clinton and th2re meets the Clinton
! bowling team at candle pins in the
/ third game of the series. In the first
! game of the series the Indians Knocked
| down 63 more pins than their opponents.
1 but as a result of the second game the
/ lead was reduced to "A pins
The big pin team from Southbridee
! Will come to Worcester early this weak
| to roll the second game in the series
| With the Winthrop big pin team.
