start the games scheduled for last

to call a meeting and make definite
ARRANGEMENTS as to the future OF tue
league, but as SO little can oe accou
pltshed at one OF these meetings, the
writer takes authority to say all games
according to schedule will be roiieo
this week. beginning Wednesday night
Last weeks games will be postpoheo
until the last week OF the season.
1t has been arranged that all games
will be rolled on the Newport Alleys
until the patent pin spoilers are m
stalled at the Palace.
Some dissatisfaction and disappoint-
ment was occAsioned last week by tne
failure of nearly every team TO nave
a complete team on the aneys. but AZ
the cause in most cases was uBavotd-
able, owing to sickness and business
obIi9ations, but this week q deter
