The Celtics arc asking for 50 per cent of the gross receipts at the gate and have refused to take 50 per cent net. That certainly is too much and unless the New York manager changes his mind. there will be no second game between the two teams.
 Johnny Beckmau can now be add cd to the list ot well-known players who voiced a compliment for the ability of the New Britain basket hau team. After the game Saturday right, Beckmap stated that New Britain had | wonderful team and he chased 1t as the equal Of any ,eam in the American league.

 Out Of curiosity. We asked several players how the attendance here compared with other cities in the American league. Brennan stated that the attendance here was much larger than in many of the cities in the circuit. Ths price at the box office is higher than 1t is here, but if tho price has to be raised here. New Britain will not be entered in the league.

Manager Sam Bailey of the New Haven Atlas basketball team has finally consented to play New Brit. ain. but. according to his pleas, two games have been arranged. The first will be played in this city next Saturday night and the second is scheduled probably for the following Wednesday night in New Haven.
 Manager Lanpher was anxious to play the New Haven team and he Is confident that New Britain can take both games. Therefore. when Bailey held out for two games, he assented when he found that nothing could be done about the matter. II the teams split, the situation will be the same then as it is now and 1t is up to New Britain to win the double header.

Playing under the American league rules. the local team met team of all-stars travelling under the name Of the Chicago Bruins.
