Because of the fact that the Condo

These plans are only tentative.
Abe Aronson. junior basketball
referee. created what is considered
record in officiating in this city
Saturday. He officiated at five
games, four in the afternoon in the
city tournament and one in the eve
ming, the preliminary to the New
ley Arena.
The Falcon management is IN
earnest in securing the best material
possible for the baseball team that
will represent the club during the
coming season. Joe Smulski, who
has been selected to pilot the team,
assisted by Bill! Iasky. has alrea dy
got the signatures of Lefty" Ar

Basketball fans who attended the
New Bri'ainChicago Bruins game at
the Stanley Arena Saturday night,
got a pleasant surprise in the man

performed. With McElwain back in
the lineup. the quintet exhibited the
best basketball of the entire season.
II isn't very often that a player,
like McEiwain, can step into a team
OF strangers and tit in so perfectly.
BY no means did McElwain HIM
self win the ball game. but his stel-
lar play on the floor and his untir-
ing work against the strenuous OPP
position afforded by the Chicagoans.
made the local team one Of the best
combinations seen this season.

his home in Holyoke. Tom Leary
brought word If how the local CEN

since then pneumonia has develop

"Jiggs' is in very bad way.
Although Manager Lanpher had
practically decided to close out the
basketball season last Saturday night
he is figuring on another game. The
Celtics in New York have gathered
together again under their old name
and they are anxious TO play here.
SO many fans expressed the wish to
see another contest that the local
manager started negotiations Ettur-
day night to get the Celtics here.
This will. without a doubt, be the
last game.
However. nothing is certain about
the New York team coming here be-
cause. as the local manager figures
IT, il is precarious chance he IS
taking with the box office and unless
the team can talk reasonably, he
doesn't figure on taking the game on.
j.. on fhe other hand, the celtics
do not want the entire box Office. the
local team will most probably be
seen in action once again.
