Berlin Here Tonight.
Berlln's aggregation of hoop
shooters will make their Plainville
debut tonight when they line up
against the Young Mems club basket
ball team in the Town hall. The
visiting team Is said to be a speedy
five and the local boys expect to be
kept busy every moment if they are to
accom- lish their defeat. The Plain
vile team has been making rapid nro-
gress during the past few weeks and
has taken several clever com binations
into camp. The boys are hopeful of
adding Berlin's scalp to the trophies
now dangling at their belts. The
teams will line up as follows:

Willard Cowles will referee the
contest.
The preliminary game will be be-
tween a Southington five and team
from the junior department of the
local club. Dancing will follow.
Next Thursday night the team will
meet the Forestville quintet. The
boys in the neighboring village have
had no difficulty on former occasions
in humbling the Plainville aggregation
but the local team has now reached
a stage of development which makes
the members confident that the result
of the next contest will be reversal
of the score usually noted
Classes Well Attended.
Directors Of the Young Mems club
are greatly encouraged over the con-
tinued interest in the organization dis
played by the younger element and
they feel confident that the voters of
the town will declare the experiment
of permitting the youngsters to use
the Town hall to be a success. The
club has the free use of the hall for
y
feel that there will be no objection to
continuing the privilege indefinitely.
Under the leadership of Alfred
Schade of New Britain, the new ply
steal instructor the classes have been
making good progress. The boys con-
tinue to manifest lively interest in
club and their attendance at the meet
tnss augurs we'll for the success of the
organization
While the hall must necessarily be
damaged to some extent by its regular
use as a boys gymnasium the claim is
advanced that if the club serves to de-
veIop youngsters physically and men
tally, the expense of keeping the
building in repair will be blessing
rather than a burden on the taxpayers
