Accountants Out
bowl Industrials

A two-string bowling match. in
which the Accountants and Industri-
ais of the State House were the parti-
cipants, was rolled on the Y. NJ. c. A.
alleys, Monday evening, the Account
ants winning by good-sized margin
of So pins. Owing to the fact that
there was not sufficient time. only
two strings were rolled, but in those
two strings, the accountants exempl-
fled their ability as fine bowlers,
chalking up a total of 422 pins in the
first string and AT in the second,
against their opponents totals Of 391
and S95. Ryan of the Accountants
rolled the high single of 100 and cop
ped the high total of IT'S. while Eddy
of the Industrials rolled the high sin
gle of So and the high total of 1853.
The contest was the outcome Of a
challenge that was issued by the In
dustrials to the Accountants, in which
event the Accountants accepted, and,
by having the edge on their oppo-
nents. proved to be Something more
than what the Industrials anticipated.

Barge Arrives Tuesday

A barge carrying about 500 tons of
soft coal, arrived at the dock of the
Augusta State hospital, early Monday
forenoon, coming from Norfolk of
the Thames Towboat Co. of New Lon
don, Conn. The work Of unloading
the cargo was started at once and II
will take about three days. the work
being done perhaps by Friday. Then
that barge will be sent down river
and a second barge, also carrying
500 tons of coal of the same company
will be towed up to the Hospital
wharf. From Bath comes the good
word that if present weather condi-
tons continue to exist it would ap-
pear that both of the barges stand n
good chance Of being unloaded and
brought down to the mouth Of the
river, before the Kennebec freezes
over. Word was received here Tues
day that the river froze clear across
Monday night by South Gardiner. but
the barge arriving here Tuesday en-
countered little difficulty.

TROLLEY LElGUE" N
HOCKEY IS PROPOSED
Much Interest Being Shown in Plan
for Hockey Matches Between
Teams Representing Gardiner,
AallouAII Whitman and Auousta

Much Interest Being Shown in Plan
for Hockey Matches Between
Teams Representing Gardiner,
HaIIoweli, Winthrop and Augusta
The suggestion that Trolley
League" in hockey be organized with
teams representing Gardiner, Halo
well. Winthrop and Augusta is the
latest development in the Winter
Sports project and by the interest
that Is being shown 1t is very prob
able that such league may be
formed. There is great rivalry be-
tween these cities in all forms OF
athletics as was shown in the old
Trolley League baseball games and
that much of this same spirit and in
terest would be manifested in a
hockey league is a safe conclusion.
The formation of this league was
suggested by DR.. Warren B. Sanborn
of Winthrop. who is a member of the
Augusta Winter Sports committee.
High school boys and adults would
be eligible to play on the teams rep
resenting their cities. the only re-
quirement fundamental 10 the sue
SSoS VI tHS league DelHS tlldI every
player on the team should be legal
resident of that city. This rule would
not apply to coaches, however. Each
team would have the privilege of en-
gaging any coach it desired. If the
plans materialize, a meeting of the
team managers will be called in the
near future at the Office of the Au-
gusta Chamber of Commerce to adopt
rules and make up the schedule for
the league matches. 1t is planned for
a representative of each team to be-
come member of the Augusta Win
ter Sports committee. Dr. Sanborn
and Harris Woodman of Winthrop
are now on the general committee.
The hockey rink in Augusta viii
be made upon the tennis courts at
the State Park, permission having
been granted for the use of the land
for this purpose. On the formation
of the league. matches will be played
in the various cities in the evening
and on Saturday afternoons
