the 18th would be too late in the season. He has asked that all the fans who wish to have the game go through get in touch with him some way or another so that he will know II there is enough of a demand for the game,
 It is our contention that the game should be played. We feel sure that the fact that the game will be played on a Wednesday will have no bear ing whatever on the sale of tickets because of the object for which it will be played. Several benefit affairs are being staged in Bridgeport for Hammill and 1t only seems right that 6 benefit should be staged in this city with which team he was last connected.
 We feel sure that Manager Daley will have enough encouragement to stage the game from fandom In this city and that a sizable sum will be realized for the young woman whose husband was taken away so tragi- cally from her.
 Tonight will be & big night for bowlers in this city. Eddie" Ander- son, Connecticut's own champion. and Barney" Spinella. the king roll CT of New York, will battle each other at the Casino alleys for the honors between the two.
 Frank McDonough has worked hard to make this match a success. but 1t seems that others have been working hard against the local sports emporium owner. Yesterday morning a slick looking gentleman walked into his place and lifted the cash box at the point of a gun. Frank will have to sell a lot of tickets for the match between the bowlers tonight to make up for the loss sustained in the holdup yes- terday.
 There Is philosophy in his attitude towards the holdup man at that Frank said he was forced to remove his safe from the place because 1t had been held up so many times. In fact, 1t was getting to be monotonous with the safe being tapped every so often and there is some consolation in the fact that another way was 10 nd to take Macs money away.
 Mac said that he would rather lose his dough betting on a shot on the links than in the manner he lost 1t yesterday. When he misses three foot putt and the hole he at least had a chance to work for his money while yesterday he only had one shot for his green and that was from the business end of the hold-up mans revolver.
 Bowling fans tn this section are banking on Eddie" Anderson to come through tonight and tomorrow night against Barney" spinella in their special match at the Casino alleys. Anderson leads by eight pins and this margin is none too great
 Anderson Is bowling in wonderful shape these days and his form is as good If not better than 1t has been He hits the timbers for a good score every time he bowls and although Spinella is a dangerous man on the lanes, Anderson has shown in the past that he is as good, if not bet ter, than the Empire State cham pion,
 It Is certain that big crowd will be on hand to watch the beginning of the second half of the match to- night, These two are the class of the entire crew that patronizes the lanes in this city and the interest Tn their meeting is at white heat
 The National Guards basketball team is scheduled to stage Its first really good battle this coming Sat- urday night at the state armory when they stack Up against the Meriden National Guards. The Silver City hoop tossers are rated among the best In the state and have been travelling at fast pace in their first two starts. The game Saturday should be a real tussle.
 Coach Billy Dudack has been working his squad hard on fine points of the game and the results of his coaching Is evident In the first two games played. The local quin- tet is regarded as being Of cham pionship caliber this year and the fans already are doping out their
