 There is a great deal Of talk among local aspirants for athletic honors about organizing a basketball team for the coming season. Plainville ilas not been represented on the basket bali court since the demise of the Young Mems club which held forth in the old Town hall before that build ing was destroyed by fire.
 A basketball team In PlainvilIe al the present time has many stumbling blocks in it's path. The only thing available for a team is material and Plainville undoubtedly has some good players. The team which for merly represented the town won a large percentage of Its games and won popular support and favor. If a team is organized it will have to play it's games out of town thus diminish Ing interest in it's activities. Ii wilt also be difficult to hold practice ls there is no known place available 1T. town.
