PICK NEW BOARD
 FOR CONN. A. A. U.
Members Of Registration Com.
 mittee Named at Meeting

New Haven May $ (Up)-ln a three-hour hectic session, during which President Bill Kennedy re- linquished the chair to Vice Presi- dent Elmer Manning. the Connecti. cut A. All. chose new resistra- ton board here last night
 A boxing committee and mem bership board also were elected at the meeting which was held at the Meadow street armory.
 The resignation Of Joseph Wirtz Of New Haven, Mark Dunn of Mid dletown and Louis McEvoy Of Port Chester-the old registration board Was accepted. The board resigned following a meeting at. Bridgeport with Kennedy nearly two weeks ago, stating the belief that present amateur rules could not be honest ly obeyed.
 The new registration board is: Frank Lynch. New Haven; Louis Schlig. Meriden: Ray Callahan, New Haven.
 The following were appointed boxing committee by Kennedy: Louis McEvoy, Port Chester; Robert Leckie. Bridgeport: John G. Coni- lreS. New Haven: Frank Murphy, Hartford; Mark Dunn, Middletown: James Pedace. Norwich; Dominic pibella. Hartford
 The new membership board is: NN Dunn, Middletown; James Pedace, Norwich: James Roche, New Haven: Albert Wheway. Bridgeport; A. II. Waterman, New Haven: k. J. Maroncy. New Haven.
 Motions that the resignation of Thomas J. Tracy of New Haven. secretary and treasurer. and inc whole body Of officers, be demand cd were defeated after long and heated debate.
 Whether the new deal will be sufficiently pleasing to National President Murray Hubert was doubtful today. It was believed Hulbert postponed suspension of the Connecticut A. A. T.. to see if t could clean up it's own affairs. Secretary Daniel J. Ferris of New Aork recommended the drastic ae- tlon after a meeting here which unearthed plenty of evidence of professionalism in Connecticut's amateur boxing but didn't accom- plish anything for it.

The Falcons are going to DIV the lid off the diamond campaign to- morrow afternoon at St. Mary's field when they tackle the St. Anthony A. C. team of Hartford. The team is practicins this afternoon at o'clock and from the candidates at this fi- nal session. the starting lineup to- morrow will be picked.
 Members of the Falcon club in- terested in their baseball team can well rest assured that with Ray Beg ley coaching the club. the best team available will be put on tho field. Regley full Of fun every minute. is all business on the baseball field and only the best man will be selected for each position on the nine.
 It is rnmored about that Frankie Sheehan, the Babe Ruth of New Bri tain baseball, will be back with the Falcons again this season. He was member Of the team last year but alter an argument, he quit the squad
 Numbers of players who starred With the Corbin Red Sox last year, especially the Hartford contingent, nave been ont with the Falcon crew ana a number of them are bound to make places on the squad. The pros pect Of a good season faces the club manager and he will have plent- Of material to pick an excellent team from.
 The Cardinals Of this city will meet the Pirates of Wallingfor] in Wallingford Sunday afternoon in the nrst home game of the season for tne Borough team. Both hines are evenly matched and the locals are hopeful Of pinning a defeat on the opposition tomorrow.
 Too much criticism should moi he made Of the poor showing or the New Britain High school baseball, team in its defeat by Hartford yes- t"rday. Many another team has shoWn poor stuff in it's first game and until the local crew goes on. llrelE too pieces as the season pro- sresscs. critics should not be too harsh on them.
