 The number of candidates trying out for the Corbin Red Sox team was small but enthusiastic. Not much work could be accomplished because the day turned out to be rather windy and cool,
 The Falcons, facing one of the best seasons in recent years, may have on their roster such men as Soule. Riley, Mckcrnan and many others who have appeared on local teams. These were out Saturday for the workout session and although they couldn't show much stuff. they wont through the limbcring up paces in good style.

 Once more and for the last time fhis season. tho New Britain basket ball team suffered a defeat at the Stanley Arena Saturday night be- cause of the teams unpracticed eye from the foul line.
 Rabid fans can find no excuse for the inability Of the local team to score almost perfectly from the free throw line. but when one takes into consideration that the local team gets together only when it plays, that actual games constitute the only workout the crew has as q con- bination and figures what effect this has on the squad, then nothing but the highest sort of praise can be given the players individually and collectively for putting up such great game against the Celtics Sat urday night.
 The Celtics, one must remember, are the worlds champions, and not synthetic champions. On the surface Of things, the visiting team should be able to best New Britain by at least 30 points.
 In two meetings, the Ccltcs could do no better than beat New Britain by a margin Of seven points. The first victory was won by siX-point margin and the contest Saturday night by sevcn-point margin.
 To us. the season just ended has been a great one and it is with tinge of regret that we view the passing of a great basketball team. It is our fervent hope that all mem- ber of the squad will be in trim for next season and will return to the fold to furnish as much entertain mcnt as they have during the winter months.
