 START IN OPENER
Southington Takes Three Games
 From Etna Alleys Quintet

New Britain's start in the Inter city Bowling league last evening in Southington, was anything but auspi- cious, the quintet from the Aetna al- leys tasting defeat in three straight games. The battles were nip and tuck throughout. The locals made a strong bid for one game when in the final strings a margin of one point separated the teams, the excellent work of Barbour who topped the high single score of 120 was the main fac- tor in Southington grabbing the frame. Four of the victorious quin- tet hit the pins for scores over the century mark, while Foote and Rog- CTS were the only Hardware Cityites who could accomplish the feat. Joe led the locals in high single and high total for the match.
 The Fafnir Bearing company team strengthened it's hold on the cellar position of the Factory league last evening in the game with the New Britain Machine company losing all three games scheduled. Cusack of the victors, was the star of the match securing high single honors with a mark of 119 while Robertson was high total string bowler. Schenk featured for the losers.

Day and Mutrie, the owners, were fi- nanc1ally ruined and only the aid of Arthur Soden, of the Boston club, en- abled them to get through the season. Philadelphia had only four loyalists in its 1890 club. Pittsburgh was hardest hit of all. Many of the games scheduled for Pittsburgh had to be transferred and some of them were played in the smaller cities around the Smoky City.
 The club, led by Guy Hecker, lost ll4 games, including 2s in a row, and three in one day. First and last, 50 players-so called-wore the Pitts burgh uniform in 1890. J. Palmer O'Neil kept the club going in spite of

BOB IS SATISFIED
Folwcll Pleased at Action of Penn Athletic Committce-MayB Be Coach in 1917 at Increased Salary.


 in 1917 at Increased Salary.
 Philadelphia, Penn, Feb. Bob Folwell, who was declared eligible as candidate for coach of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania football team Wednesday night, forty-eight hours after pr. Arthur w. Goodspeed had announced his name would not even be considered, yesterday discussed terms for his 1917 contract with Wharton siukler. chairman of the football committee.
 As the faculty committee on Ath- letics at the university voted Folwell into good standing at meeting on Wednesday night, it is not likely in reaching an agreement with the foot ball committee. The latter body is scheduled to convene on some after noon before next Tuesday to name a coach.
 Folwelps ambition has been to coach a winning eleven for Pennsyl- vania, and he made a good start to- ward realizing this last fall. Before the rupture between Folwell and Penn committee became known on Monday night, it was published broa dcast that Folwc;l demanded a contract calling for $s,000 a year be- fore he would return to Penn. Later developments proved that there was no truth whatever in this statement.
 AS matters now stand, Folwell IS in a position virtually to indicate his terms, but the clearing of his name was what he sought. and he is sat1s- fled with the result of the fight. In addition, Folwell will be paid a high CT figure than he received last year, according to a we'll founded report. 1 As soon as the football committee de- 1 cides upon Folwell as the 1917 coach, 1 and this seems inevitable now, his l name will be submitted to the faculty l committee. .,.

 To all appearances, the Players league had the old circuit groggy, if not licked to frazZle. And yet, strange to say, it was the apparently victorious league that made overtures for peace. Strangest of all, it was the New York Players league club which took the lead in the peace movement. Having captured the stronghold of baseball the Players league hung out the white flag, and admitted a desire for peace at almost any price.
