 x E. quintets at the Y. M. c. A. gymnasium tonight.
 This ought 10 be the best battle or the year and should bring out the biggest crowd Of fans to attend any game this season To keep the GUS toners amused while waiting for the single game to begin, Physical Di- rector Joseph Hergstrom has ar- ranged 10 have the Y. NJ. c. A. tumbling trio give a 15 minute cx- hibition in the gymnasium.
 The players who are 10 engage in the battle tonight report them- selves in great shape. Each one realizes that he is 10 go through hn excruciating battle for the first honors of the league and for that reason none has been living high the last three days.
 The two teams, though equal in almost every respect as far as play ing ability is concerned, are radical ly different in method and team work. The Corbin quintet hardly ever takes a long shot but plays to work the ball into the basket where a short shot might be counted. The k. & E, team believes in peppering the basket from all angles and all though many shots are missed, many are also made.
 dinary ball hawks They are tiroless in the pursuit of the leather sphere and have become adept In the art of close guarding. Their work last week against the Fafnir team wherein the held the Bearing Max CTS for over three minutes without allowing shot is evidence enough that the team can hold the ball against the greatest of odds.
 The Corbin men too are tireless and usually show faster stuff in the second half than they do in the first frame. They also are ball hawks Of the best sort but haven't the dogged persistence of their op- panents of tonight. They work on the theory Of a quick attack is the best defense and it wouldn't be at all surprising tonight to find the hall for the most part in Ruscwin territory.
 or course there are those who Will make a choice for the winning team tonight. To those we say, go to it. AS far as We are concerned, we are very much against trying to choose a winner in tonights battle. Both are given an equal chance of winning and the man who picks the winner is a prophet of the best sort.
 We cant see an edge in favor of either team. The only thing that many F. <; F. fans are pointing 10 Is the fact that their team beat Cor. lin twice during the league. This lcads them 10 believe that the Russ win team has the indian Sign" on
  but whether 1t will operate in this ease, is a question.
 Joe Foote, representative of Eog- CTS alleys in the state league duck pin bowling tournament, rolls Lynch o' Bristol tonich' at the local alleys in what should he one of the really &ood matches Of the year. Both men ire about evenly matched and are bitter rivalss Foote is counted on to bring home The bacon.
 This will also serve 70 give Footc q real workout in preparation for nia match sWith Eddie Anderson, state champion. Friday night. The two matches between the local bowl CTS were postponed two weeks ago because Of Andorson's recent injury, and one match will be rolled off this week and the other will b" rolled next week.
 Friday night, the match will be staged at the Casino alleys and probably the largest crowd of bowl ing fans Of tho year will be on hand. Next week. the exact night 10 be arranged, the two will meet each other again at Rogers alleys. These two matches will be about as sensa- tionaI as any that will take place this season.
 Foote has been coming along in the s'ate ltagIe this year and his hackers expect to see him giving the leaders q battle before many weeks are up. With Lynch coming against him tonight, Footc meets q real test for skill, and if the dope is correct. he should come through easily 10 beat the Bristol man. Lynch is al ways dangerous, especially in al pinch, and he will be no exception tonight.
 Tonight Til about wind up the basketball season in this city. AL ready the Guards have hung Up their shoes, the Boys club, National Guard Reserves and Burritts have closed the season and the Industrial leagne will be finished tonight. Had the schedule run as it was outlined,
