Speaking s of Sports

It has become very evident be- cause Of tho ponderous silence Of the New Haven Atlas manager, one Samuel Bailey. that there is no great anxiety ill that vicinity to play New Britain for the basketball champion ship Of the state.
 Manager Lanpher of the New Britain team has rightfully declared that any propositions concerning q game will have 10 be made from New Haven seeing that all his sug- geStions were turned down. First. Manager Bailey didn't want to play in New Britain because of the ad- vantage the Hardware City quintet would have over his crew. Then he didn't think the teams would make anything playing in Mcriden. Third. he wanted to think it over a few days when the local manager offered to play him anywhere. including New Haven.
 There is strong story to the et- feet that Herm Cohen, one of the Atlas stars. vii! not be with the New Haven team next year. It is said that he is disgusted with the childish tactics of the Now Haven club and wants 10 get on a team where there won't be so much back biting and fighting.
 It Is stated in fairly reliable quar- ters that Cohen plans 10 be mem- Der oI the Meridcn Endees next year,
 There Is hardly any chance that there will be state basketball league next season. Hartford and Waterbury will be out as far as teams are concerned. New Haven will probably have . team as will Bristol and Meriden while New Britain will also be tn the swim.

HAS new ship
Plan For Flight Back
To Germany Denied
By Junkers Crew

ALBANY, N. Y, May 22.-P1--
Baron Gunther Won Euenfeld, hacker
bf the first successful westward
flight across the north Atlantic, has
purchased the Junkers Plane Europa,
Bister ship of the Bremen, but what
flights he plans in the new plane
were a matter of conjecture today.
One report was that the baron,
Captain koehl and Major Fitzmaurice
would attempt a return flight TO
Europe, having the new pane
shipped to New York from Germany.
Baron Won Huenefeld, however, de-
mics that such are his plans.
He said it was possible that the
plane would be shipped TO ireland
and that he and Koehl would fly it
thence to Germany, but that the
plans were indefinite. The baron, an
aviation enthusiast. said he had also
placed orders for several other
planes.
The filters, before leaving for Mon
treal said they had planned to at
tempt the eastward passage in the
Bremen but with the Bremen put out
of commission, in an attempt to
bring her out from Greenly Island
they indicated there was little likeii-
hood Of an attempt at a return flight.
