FAVOR ELM CITY
 TO WIN BOWLING
 TITLE OF COUNTRY

< New Haven. Feb. 5-Word reached this city from Grand Rapids last night that the New Haven Bowling association team has been installed a favorite to win the championships in the American Bowling congress 10 be staged there next month. Western bowlerS have been keeping in close touch with the tournament now being waged here and predict that New Ha- ven is one team which will bear close watching in the championships reck- oning.
 New Haven has become power in American bowling affairs after it's winning of the worlds championship at Buffalo in 1914 and its feat in fin- ishing in second, place at Peoria the year following. Last year, with a crippled outfit, the locals finished 3Oth in competition with 600 teams.
 This year every prediction made in- dicates that Grand Rapids is going to pile up an entry list of close to 800 teams, if it does not. exceed that, mark and that will mean four full weeks, with 200 clubs disposed of every seven days. Sixteen alleys are being laid in the Armory building there, which will allow 32 clubs to dispose of their games each day. It would take 25 full days to complete the schedule of an S00-club meet, and it does not look likely that Secretary Langtry will crowd the schedule with three five-men squads a day in. order to gain time. sh
 High scores are certain to come, and it will take more than the 1907 that gave the Commodore Barrys their victory last year and their 2909 the year before that won for them at Peoria to win this years laurels A solid floor with good heating facilities will make the pins fall fast, and the armory seems to possess both require ments. fF
 Chicago notified Secretary Langtry last week they had entered S3 clubs already for the Grand Rapids >doings, leavirL only four more to come in to equal the mark at Toledo. A summary of the list shows at least 20 of the regular clubs missing from the early entry and it is certain that the town will aggregate 12O' when the schedule is drawn. Grand Rapids is nearing the 200 clubs it promised when it won the meeting at Toledo and the home officials are still setting them selves to beat the PA mark establish ed by Toledo at its own tournament.

OF WAR
 LIKELY TO STOP
 BASEBALL STRIKE

New York, Feb. 5-The break with Germany should have a sobering ef- feet on the conflicting baseball in terests, and convince both sides that this is no time to bore the public with continued strife. To such persons who know both sides of this contro- yersy there is no doubt that both the fraternity and major leagues are de- termined to fight to showdown.
 Fultz may not have as many play ers with him as he believes, but he has enough to cause no little trouble, especially in the National League Both sides are willing to fight to finish, as "a defeat for Fultz would mean the end of the fraternity ana a victory for the fraternity wouldN give the players a club which might De very annoying to the owners.
 However, if common sense can pre- vail this fight can speedily be ended. If it is not ended now 1t should at least be postponed. A sensible way out \of it would be for Fultz to give up his fight for training expenses for all players under Class A and for the minors to agree to answer his letters ana five him such other minor con- { cessicns which he deems important. The public is too much interested in national and international subjects r care a hoot about this strike or vAether there is any baseball next summer. The booting that the fight game has had around New York dur [An4 the past week should be a lesson to the professional baseball people.
 The major league club owners, Of course, object to be given any blame F for the present strike situation, and rightly. Outside of salary cuts, of which there are many the major leagues are being made to suffer for affronts to the fraternity by the minor leagues. Fultz, on the other hand, argues that the. major league are parties to the national baseball agreement, and says if the players lsof a fraternity will not stick together of what us is his fraternity.
 Both sides say they. are fighting for what they call principle" but in the present emergency there should be more of the 'give and take" from both sides for the good of the game.

Seek HelD of Wives

Using strategy instead of force to break the threatened baseball strike, Owner Harry Frazee of the Boston Red Sox has decided to call for the assistance of the players wives. He has offered to give them all a free trip to- the training camp at Hot Springs, Ark, and as the men cannot go unles they have signed the pros- pect of trip to the Southern resort will be used as a bait to induce the stars to sign the papers. Most of the ladies would hate to miss such a trip. particularly when it is free, and they may prevail upon their husbands to change their minds about striking.
 The Hartford Courant calls atten- tion to the fact that Manager Kritchell of the Bridgeport club is undecfdeo what to do with Pitcher Marty Walsh: The big hurler can pitch winning ball when he desires, as he proved in the middle of the last campaign. If Man. ager Kritchell knows how to handle him Walsh could turn in a lot of vic. tories.

B. H. $. Basketball Teams of Both Sexes
 Win Their Contests

The attendants at the High school gymnasium Saturday got their full dimes worth because they saw three of the best amateur basketball games ever played on local floor. The pre- liminary brought forth the Irish Quintet and the High School Ends. From the beginning it looked like the ~s2nds'' game as the Quintets were hardly ever dangerous and came out on the long end of 23 to II score. Hogan featured for the Sim Feiners while Bill Miller and Dondero pulled of the star plays for the Ends" This makes seven straight for the "2nd" and considering the strong teams they have been up against this is very creditable performance.
 The girls played next and they beat st. Margaret's. It was tooth and nall fight from beginning to finish and the game was not decided until the last minute of play when Miss CDops caged a basket, making the final score 12-11. The girls have one Aox the best teams that have represent ed the B. H. s. in years, due to the efforts of Manager Lockwood and Capt. Franz to get the best players in the school and the admirable training of Coach Stack.
 The star attraction proved to be the best game played in the High school gym this year. Although the Winsted lads clearly outweighed the locals and put up a wonderful defens- i've game, they were nothing extra in the line of shooting Plus and Cuneo starred for the locals. the former making IA of the team's points while the latter was all over athe floor be- sides caging or baskets.
