IlSHL WILL SOu1lu IuG knell of inter-city competition for the National Guards although 1t will not mean the last of the bas- ketball season. Middletown will be the last team to be brought in from outside to play at the State armory this year. Following that game, the Legion and Guards will lock horns for the city title.
 It Is probable that the Burritts and the National Guard Reserves will also hook up in a preliminary to the National Guard-Legion first game in the tilt between these two that will decide the junior cham p!onship of the city. This will be a sensation In itself and should draw large number of fans to the armory.
 The long looked for match be- tween the Ranger and Falcons bowling teams is about to be con- summated. The managers of both l teams are working on details for the | match and the probable outcome will | be that the teams will play a home 1 and home series, consisting of three ! games
 Each club Is looking forward to | a victory. The down town aggro- gation feels the winning spirit in ! its blood and plans to start the 1926 i. season off right this time by taking victory in the first meeting of 1 Athletic teams between the two clubs, |
 Besides the honor and glory that 1 will come to the winning team, the losers will also be required to ban | quet the winners and this will be 1 an added incentive to the bowlers | to pin them up. Friday night has been set as the date for the first l games and the Peerless alleys on | Broad street will be the scene of | the battle. A large crowd is ey- pected to turn out to watch the , lane stars perform.
 Eddie Anderson hopes to get into the winning column tonight when i he tackles Chall, the youngser from pallingford, This boy has shoWn that he is whiz when it comes to rolling them down the lanes and now that he is over a. bit of stage fright, he should be able 10 turn in his best game. An. derson knows that he has a tough customer on his hands tonight and will be at his best to win tonieht's matches.
 The state champion lost two tough encounters 10 Bob Miller of Hartford last Weel; and he Is de- termined to get back on an even keel after coming through the first storm much the worse for wear.
 Eddie has been q. bit off color but has rounded into perfect shape for his match tonight and some high scores should result rom his efforts
 The Atlas and Dixies, t1o teams that always furnish sensation when they meet on the basketball court, staged another classic last night in Hartford when they play cd each other on even terms with the Atlas coming out on top by 4 to @2 count. A hard luck shot by Hofferth near the end of the came went in and came out. other wise the score would have been tied.
 Tho Atlas play il combination of all stars from the New Haven In dustrial league tonight in New Ha- von. On the Dusty team will bo Mert Taylor, flashy forward of the Guards, and he is being banked upon to make things hot for the Atlas.
