MEET NEXT SUNDAY City League Managers Were Unable to Assemble Yes
 terday.
TO BE A SIX-TEAM LEAGUE
Y. NJ. R. c. and Tuxedo Clubs Say They Cannot Join-Willing to
 Play Three Series.

As two of the managers of the City Bowling league were indisposed yes- terday, it was impossible for the mag mates to meet and form the three-men bowling league. President Tom Goode will, however. notify Secretary Billie Ford to call meeting for next Sun day.
 Secretary Ford will issue notices this week and the league managers will attend the meeting Sunday afternoon at 2:15 o'clock at Swift & Hulses acad- emy alleys and state their views con- corning the proposed league
 It is expected that nearly all the managers will conform with President Goode's plans for the new league. The Y, M. R. c. club say they are not able to give up their alleys conveniently, and do not think they will be able to join the league. Huber, manager of the Tuxedo alleys. may not be able to get a team to join the league. The other managers have expressed themselves as agreeably favorable to the propos- ition.
 President Goode will propose at the meeting that the league consist of three series instead of double series, This will probably be accepted. The arrangements for prizes will be about the same as that in the five-men league.
 The season will start. as soon after the meeting next Sunday as possible. The league ought to be good one and a success as the spirit shown in 1t by at least six clubs is extremely har- monious
 After this league is formed the | games played and the prizes awarded duck pin league will be formed. h. terest in duck pins in this section of the country is at present the greatest it has ever been and the people in this city especially are almost crazed over i it. The interest in the games played ir which the big pins are used is dyins out, mostly because the game is toe strenuous.

MISSION IS ENDED
Final Services All We'll At tended at Three Central

BIG CHILDREN'S MEETING
All Episcopal Sunday Schools Were Represented at Trinity

The Mission services which have been held under the auspices of the F. E. churches during the past two weeks, closed yesterday with exceedingly large attendances at all of the services in- cluding the childrens in which some 1,4GO little ones took part.
 The closing mission service at Trinity church was held last night. The ser vices at this church from early morn ing communion until that held in the evening were all largely attended. Father Officer was the preacher and he took his text from Second Kings, flf- teenth verse Father Officers theme was .'Our Lords Redemption. and our Correspondence to it. Father Hunt ington followed with the instruction derived from the sermon. He dwelt principally on the upbuilding of the Christian life. He said that possibly many would say that the mission was now over. but he reminded his con- eregation that il was only begun. It has been their purpose during the past two weeks to preach and to teach and to leave lasting impression. It was their duty now, Father Huntington said. to continue the work which had 1 inst been begun. 4 work not temper. l ary in its nature, but a work that

SPECIAL POLO MEETING
Managers Say Intcrstaters Must Con- form With National Rules
 No Schedule.

At the special meeting of the Ma tional Roller Polo league held yester- day afternoon at the Garde hotel 1t was decided the players from the In terstate league who have been wearing eighteen inch guards for their legs and aluminium rollers will have to abide by the ruling in the national league and wear nine inch guards and paper rollers. -
 Since the westerners made their de- but in this league they have had a decided advantage over the other players who have been here all sea- son The goal tenders in the west wore pads over their legs which blocked nearly the whole front of the goal and it was next to impossible to get the ball by them. Now 1t has been decided that the guaros must he reduced to regulation size and the trimmings and side extensions be de- parted with.
 The pAyers from ~the west also worked under the advantage of skat- ing on aluminium rollers. These roll CTS enable the player to move around much faster and to balance himself much better. Hereafter the players will have to don the paper rollers and come down to earth. The decided ad- vantage which they have been reap ing over the players who were in the national league from the opening oi the season will thus be lost and they will have to get used to the parapher- nalla which now goes with the league l players.
 This decision will be decided bene- l ficial to New Haven, who did no profit bv or whose unity was not de, stroyed by the alliance of Interstate polosts. The men from the west arc no better if as good as many of tho national leaguers, but they have beer playing disguised part and appear ing to the spectators as a set of pol, players of an entirely higher grade.
 In regards to getting out schedul, for the remaindeA of the season it wa determined impossible. The troubl lies in the fact that McLav will no give up his rink on Thursday nigh to the New Haven team. At the open ing of the season New Haven wa scheduled to play at home on Tuesda, and Thursday. McLay told Manage Bone that he had to use his rink ol Thursday evening for another pur pose and that he would have to talk Friday night. Since that time Secre tarv Pvne has been unable to fix u his schedule first as one town woul not conform with a change necessitat ed by New Ravens stand in the mat ter. The change of Hartford to Bos ton made matters more complicated and Pawtucket's difficulties brought climax. It is expected that schedul of two weeks will be made out ever two weeks. but that bigger schedule than that would be impossible.
 A good part of the meeting wa spent in discussing the Boston situa ton. The Hub team has been draw ing big crowds right along and wi draw bigger when the new stand have been built. The place in Bosto Is the best in the circuit and tn 5 crowds there the largest also.

Jimmie Watt came into this city Fri oay night with every expectancy of Vitcory' but went away a defeated and wiser man. George Weber is a believer in talking little but allowing his deeds do the work. Jimmie Watt is of the opposite character. He is, of course. a good bowler, but he has noth- ing on Weber, and this was shown Fri day night. When Weber beat him his opinion of him changed. He now re- spects him as must all the other bowl CTS in the state. Should Weber win the five of the eseries tonight he can be called indisputably the state bowl ing champion. Watt is the leader in the State bowling league, and by beat mig him Weber will be superior
