NOT UNEXPECTED
IN BOSTON OFFICES

Boston, Oct. 30.-The petition for q
receiver for the Eastern Steamship
Corporation filed in Portland today
was not unexpected by those in touch
with the affairs of the corporation
here. According to officials atmospher-
ic conditions during the summer were
unfavorable to business, fog and cold
weather cutting down passenger re-
ceipts greatly throughout the season.
In common with other transportation
interests, it is said the company has
been faced by constantly increasing
expenses in every department. In par
ticularTy the requirements which have
been forced as result OF the Titanic
disaster relating to the number of life
boats and restrictions as to the num-
Der Of persons carried are said to hove
interfered with the earning capacity
of the boats.
The corporation was organized as a
subsidiary Of the New York. New
Haven G. Hartford Railroad. BY the
recent agreement with the federal au-
thorities, the New Haven is required
to divest itself of lis interests in the
Eastern Steamship Corporation on
or before July, 1917.
During the past two years, the cor
poration has spent large sums in the
Improvement of the property with the
expectation, it is said, of having its
floating indebtedness looked after by
the New Haven.

LEAGUE SOON


The schedule for the, Maine State
Bowling League will be announced
within a few days but Mike Melon
ough. of Lewiston has received word
that THE Lewiston teams will bow
Wednesday of next week with Gardi-
ner as the foe. The league includes
Gardiner, Augusta, Waterville and
Lewiston, and will undoubtedly prove
a great impetus to the bowling sport
Portland was asked to come into the
arrangement at the meeting some days
ago when the league was organized
but the rollers of that city could not
see the way clear to join hands.
Each city will be represented by a
two and a five-man team. The matches
will be rolled on the same night to do
away with extra trips and the expense
of the sending two men away to bowl
team when the two are members OF
the five-man team.
Bowling in this state under organ :
ization must needs be recognized by
the national association and the league
will send a team picked from the best
averages at the end of the. season TO
compete in the national tourney.
Another indication that bowling is
becoming popular Is the willingness
of the bowlist along the Bath line of
the Lewiston, Augusta & Waterville
to cooperate and Pres. McDonough
will set about the organization of u
trolley league including Lisbon, Lis
bon Falls, Brunswick and Bath.
In the league already organized
thara will he two papnaS a week. roIlad
