 i''.t,t,ss.ss.,ss,,,,,..a:aa... .,,,.s,,s.h Adam sullick. catcher for the Falcon baseball team. will get a tryout with the Hartford Eastern league nine. Arrangements with si
 Mcdonald who Is holding the guid. ing reins of the Capital City club this year. were made to have the local boy show his wares. He is 10 report In Hartford today and there may be chance that he will hook on to some league team this coming season.
 Joe Lawson, whose home is at Savin Rock, son of the old time New England leaguer, Is following in his fathers footsteps. Old timers can remember Jack Lawson. once a resi- dent of this city, when he caught for New Britain in the old league and now his son is stepping into fast company in the same berth that his father once held down. Joe has been sent to the Providence club to show his wares there. AS there is only one other catcher with the team, his chances of making good are very bright. He is owned by George Weiss, mogul of the New Haven club.
 There are very good prospects Of there being an Industrial baseball league this year. A meeting has been called for Friday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock at the Y. NJ. c. A. of all those interested, to discuss the project and from the interest in 1t and the talk being passed around. it appears likely that the circuit of a few years ago, will be revived in all It's interest.
 Invitations are to be sent out to- day to all the factories in the city inviting them to have representatives at the meeting. Just what the ten tative plans are, Is not yet known because there have been several pro jects and outlines of procedure ot- fered. A few years ago, the Industrial l baseball league held forth every 1 Thursday evening and Saturday aft !
 ernoon at Walnut Hill park. The. 1 large crowds who turned out for the | games show,d the intense interest 1 in the league. It is certain that the Fafnir clan ! will be represented and Landers will | also be there. The New Britain Ma chine will probably delegate Jimmy Maher to get the hot dope while the
 Stanley Works and the Stanley Rule
 & Level are sure 10 be heard from. The Pirates arS not going to re-
 organize this year. That was defin- itely stated last night by Kenneth
 Saunders last years manager. Why
 this Is so, except that the individual
 players feel that they cannot make
 any headTay with the team, is
 mystery 10 all yho are interested in
 the game.
 A cd coach is roaming about the
 town without work in the person of
 Charlie Miller Charlie Is reported to have said that he Is done as far
 as coaching baseball teams is con-
 cerned, but there are a few good crowds In the city vet who would develop into snappy teams under the guiding hands Of Miller. There are the Orioles, for instance, who might benefit greatly ny the acquisition of : Charlie as coach, but that depends, of course, on whether Charlie means what he says or rot.
 Very little basketball but 9 lot Of ! fun. That's the best way 10 describe thn game between the Corbin and / RnssNin basketball teams last night at the Y. NJ. C. A. which the Corbin . quintet won taking with 1t the cham pionship of the league.
 Al various stages in the nights play the contest looked more like the old English game of rugby Every man was piling In after the ball and general melee resulted. kayoes, shoves. tripping and all sorts Of tricks were used by all the play. CTS last night and had. as some sug, f gested. the referee called all the f
 
 wouldn't have gone even for the first T half before both teams ran out of ' player". '
 In case like lat night. it is hard to feature anycne's playing because n there wasn't any really good basket. c ball. This Is the fault of the hall n more than anything else. The play. f ing surface is 20 small that of Ii necessity. the players were pumping i, each other during the game. Last h night rows Of seats for spectators n were placed around the sidelines and ! this made the court smaller g
 Each team caged five field goals L HI HIS 'HE uIShl HldhllIs d toldl Ol 10 points. The Corhin team cared nine out of 2" free shots while the q R. X F.. team put In seven out of IS. " This shows that the game was won b on fouls. The shooting from the g, free strip is the most important q thing in a basketball game on most A every occasion and especially in r ast nights game was this true. "
