SPORTING NOTES.

The deciding match for the cham pionship of the Trolley Bowling League is scheduled for tonight at Moosup with the Palace as the visiting team although both teams have a chance of tying Taftville which now leads, means that one of the teams will have to win the whole three strings, in order to tie up with Taftville.
 Moosup enters the match with an advantage over the Palace, account of rolling on their own alleys and they say. it is hard to beat any team on their own alleys but it has been done.
 Baseball practice is being held reg ularly on the campus, at the Academy and soon the real hard work will set in, after the candidates have time to Timber up and get the kinks out of their system.
 The season for indoor sports, that is bowling and basketball etc.. is now near it's closeing point, giving away

 Unexpected aid may come from the southpaws, George Arogridge, obtained from New York in the deal for Roth. and Zachary, the .cievery left handler, who turned out some good games Hast season.
 Courtney, the other southpaw, who did sparkling work last year, is trail inga way behind this spring vitS a sore arm that has kept him out of everything. Jose Acosta, the Cuban midget, is present in peppery form. and may be of great service. Frank Brewer, the slugger obtained fast year. from the International leaCue for S15.- 900, is on the list as a pitcher. He won't pitch much. but he ought to be a swel. pinch hitter.
 Doubt About InheId.
 There is bit of doubt about Mo , Brides infield. though it appears i'm proved. Joe Judge is champion on first and Harris, who surprised every one last year, is slated for second. Frank O'Rourke is named for shor; and Elberle for third. O'Rourke comes from Toronto and they say his arm is none too strong, but he gets the ball away quickly and plays Vie position with lot Of style. During the winter he took treatments for his arm.
