New Britain herald., 1925-12-26


 but we suspect that he has a grudge in for some of his legal brothers and he wants to settle 1t on the bowling lanes. He Is to bo found on many occasions at Rogers alleys and ne rolls @ wicked ball down the match cd boards.
 Frank McDonough at the Casino is having q revival of the big pm game. More and more each night there arc games of the big pins to follow the ducks There are nov so many of the bowlers in the city who are proficient at the big pin game as there are at the duckpins' but New Britain can boast of some who are really experts at throwing the big ones and knocking them down.
 Years ago, the big pin game was all the rage. Then came the ducks and, considered the game that re- ouires more skill to get a big score, the small ones almost drove the big ones off the alleys. Now the big pins are coming back and several matches have already been staged at the Casino alleys.
 The fair sex is also going in strong for bowling game. Some Of the damsels who certainly can crash the timber, have been work ing out and it is suspected that certain girl teams In Hartford and nearby places are going to feel the sting of sweet revenge within the next few weeks.
 Take a walk up Main street to lack Walsh's emporium, the Con- mercial alleys and the same sight will be seen there. All alleys going afternoon and evening. The Inter- church league holds sway here and some hot games are the product ot inc matches between the various teams. The league will crash them again tonight,
 Then there are the fraternity alleys on Arch street. Here the lodge t,ams hold forth and believe us the air gets hot there at some times, Good scores are being chalked up and some future cham- pions are in the making.
 There are a number of boWers throughout the state who arc gun ming for "Eddie" Anderson's titles in the bowling world. "F1do' O'Brien was unsuccessful in his at tempt to lift tho crown last Thurs day night but Teller, Harper, Gaines and number of others plan to challenge him to matches in the near future.
 Anderson will meet them all and the more that come forward the better he likes it.
 The fans are waiting for "Bilr' Brenneckc to come through i'll his contests for the lesser state cham ponships. "Bil" can roll with tho best of them and he is always ready to take on all corners. The only one Bill" fights shy of is the radio editor Of the Herald" and his imposing scores scare most of them We mean the cditOr'S. The prac- tico he gcrs nights on getting the wave lengths has made him pro- ticicnt in picking up spares both stations and two-ball killings. Then once in while he makes q strike" something out of the ordi- nary for him both in stations and on the alleys.
 We sec that there was too much doubt in the case of the New York boxing commission against Italian Jack Herman who was suspected of framing a bout with Gene Tunney some time ago. Herman used to spend his time around Plainville but has been staying in Hoboken, x. J., for nearly a year. He has been rcinstated by the New York commission and he will have more opportunities to step in and take a few on the chin.
 They are talking up a bout be- tween Naplan and Dick (Honey- hoy) Finnrgan for the New Garden in New York for the month of January. From what fans in this section saw of Finnegan. he ient so hot. \ match with Bobby Garcia, the Hoafird, Md, soldier, would be moro interesting. Gar ia is the only man who can give ne champion a run for his title, the opinion Of many.
 rinnegan is an "in and outer"
 at is, ono night he is good and le next he is very poor. For d attler who was q short time ago ailcd as a coming champion he is rry. very wet.
 Interest has fallen off consider .bly in the amateur bouts for a time, and with that condition ex- ietng Jimmy Clinch, local ace, is not very busy. Jimmy has come along so that most of the boys in his class arc fighting shy of him, but We expect that when the bouts start again, he will find plenty of action in the ranks.
 Meridcn is the hotbed of amateur fighters in this section and every day the youngsters can be seen training down the surplus weight and keeping in trim at Inc Com munity House in the Silver City. Veterans who have looked over some Of the boys declare that there
