Boston and Worces
ter in the Lead.
WHAT is AHEAD.
Talk of a Game Between
Hub and Local Men.

The air was full of bowling talk yes
terday, and if plans now talked OF
among the powlers materialize there
will be more than enough to keep the
followers of the game in Worcester in
terested
| Boston and Worcester are easily in
the lead as far as the bowling fad con-
Germs New England, and plan is now
talked of to bring the ten best men in
Worcester and the ten best men in
Boston together for two games, and if
the championship cannot be settled in
that number Of games another to be
played as a rubber.
| Worcester men consider that they
can easily knock down more pins than
the rollers in the Hub, while the Hub
men are certain that they have enough
talent among their number to more
than make such a match interesting.
The reason for this way of thinking on
the part of the Boston men probably
lies In the fact that the bowlers from
the Mccarthy alleys have had such an
easy time with the Worcester men,
winning four out Of six games rolled.
| Worcester rollers have not been in
the habit of allowing team to carry
off the honors of q match simply be-
cause they won the most games, but
have always turned the honors of a
win over to the team scoring the
largest number of pins in a match of
five strings. As far as knocking the
pins down goes, the Worcester men are
way ahead Of the Boston rollers, as
several matches rolled on Whites al
leys go to show. However, as the roll
lers In both this city and Boston are
satisfied that they can beat each other,
| the match would be an interesting one
and would be watched closely.
The frat game would probably be
rolled in Worcester, and the second in
Boston, while the third, If necessary,
would be settled by a toss-up.
| The match between the Mccarthy
rollers and the Sherwoods is watched
closely by the Worcester rollers, and
last night members of the Infants said
that they would be more than willing
] to try conclusions with the Boston
rollers if the Sherwoods did not sue
Iceed in administering a defeat. Nine
more games are to be rolled, ana II the
Sherwoods do not meet with better sue
cess than in the six already rolled the
Infants will have an opportunity to try
conclusions with the MeCarthys
| Can't. Mccain of the Sherwoods is
anxious to get match on with the
| Casinos, thinking that he can easily
retrieve the defeat which his team got
| at the hands of the Casinos early IN
| the season. He has tried to make ar
rangements for a match several times.
but could not get Capt. Hennessey OF
| the Casino team to look favoraoiy on
| the matter
| Capt. Hennessey thinks that his team
| has no reason to accept match with
| the Sherwood team, as sne defeat once
administered to the Sherwoods clear
/ ly demonstrates that his team at the
| time the match was rolled, was SUI
perior. He would be glad to accept d
match with the Sherwoods providing
| Capt Mccain would have the same
men make up his team as when the
match was rolled early in the season,
! At present he claims Mccain has Two
members of the Infants on his team,
getting what is practically the pick OF
| the city in Lohnes and Gendron. me
