 N7ER-CITY LEAGUE
State BoWlerS Formulate Plans for Opening Games Next Week

Bowling representatives from Bris- tol, Southington, Meriden, Walling- ford and this city, assembled at the Aetna alleys yesterday afternoon, to formulate plans for the opening of the Inter-city Bowling league, which had successful season in 1916. Va rious details were discussed and elec- tion of officers was held, and the fol- lowing were named: President, T. F. Mclaughlin, of Bristol; secretary, E. B. Carr, of Wallingford; treasurer, w. Savage, of Meriden. Two teams from Hartford were scheduled to have representatives at the meeting, but they failed to put in an appear ance due, it is believed, to a misun- derstanding Prizes aggregating $150 will be awarded at the termination of the season. The first games will be played next week as follows: New Britain at Southington; Starlishts of Meriden at Bristol; Wallingford at Casino, Meriden. ,..
 The new Factory league had a most suspicious opening at the Aetna al- leys last evening, when the Landers, Frary & Clark team defeated the Union Works quintet two out of three games. The Stanley Works and the Skinner Chuck company had a warm battle, resulting a victory for each quintet and a tie game. '
 Schmalz's Warriors. the latest sen- sations in the local bowling world, obliterated the claims of their enemies that they are only false alarms" by defeating the H. & B. team for the second time this season. As a result the members of the victorious team are in a happy mood.

BEATS WALLACE.

Philadelphia, Penn, Jan. 23.-Ben- nv Leonard, of New York, punished Eddie Wallace, of Brooklyn, severely in a six-round bout here last night. From the fourth round on Wallace took an unmerciful beating, and when the bell rang at the end of the final round he was on the ropes, with his arms hanging at his sides. He reeled unsteadily to his corner, and it was only after several minutes of heroic work by his seconds that the Brooklyn lad was able to leave the ring. Leonard weighed 134 pounds while Wallace tipped the scales at 122 nnundS.

 comes-
 How glory lasts, for tribe or man; And not by adding up the sums To cover any golden span; Nor yet by padding out the fat Of bulging waist and burly neck, Nor reaching soft contentment that Must turn all fibre to a wreck. For honor comes and glory lasts Through Service to the Vital Cause Through Service-as it boldly casts It's plea beyond all other laws; Through harder training for the test As any man. or nation. should J. With soul enough to give its best, And give it for the common good The goal waits-not so far away.

About Training.

These genial United States offer their share of queer and quaint shifts. There isn't a country in the world where it's individual athletes go in for harder, better training.
 Football squads go through the hardest possible grind. Baseball camps are pitched from five to six weeks in advance of a six months drive. Training is the watchword of them all.
 And yet with the nation at large fat and out of condition and the pos sibility of vast competitions ahead, the idea of training against the test settles into joke. A football team or a baseball squad that wasn't handled any more efficiently than congress handles the nation would be lucky to finish the season, much less around the top.
