 What is believed to be record in the Industrial Basketball league was established by the Stanley Rule quin- tct during the last season. In the Is games played not one of the Rulers was put out of the game on personal fouls.
 Another record along this line was established by the Murphymen when they went for 19 minutes in the Cor bin Cabinet Lock game without mak- ing a personal foul. Since the con- tests last 30 minutes this is consid cred quite remarkable and if the team had kept this up for il min- an all-time record.
 The basketball gentry are still talking about the remarkable finish in tho Industrial league and it is eX- pected that all records will so down when the teams go into the play-o contest.
 It is intercstiny to note that the two preliminary teams Stanley Works and Russwin, have defeated the two main attractions, Stanley Rule and Corbin Screw.
 Tickets for the game will be dis tributed among the factories in the league this afternoon. The admission will be the same as that charged during the regular season.
 The Y. NJ. T. A. & E. society of fered the Industrial league the use of it's hall. gratis, in a move to cooper ate with the league as the officials try to make enough money to pur- chase gold emblems for the cham pons and finance a banquet for the leagues players. However, it was felt that the Stanley Arena would suit the needs better at this time.
 A letter of appreciation has been sent to the Tabs through Secretary Bryce Long.
 We were asked several questions over the telephone this morning re- garding a fight between Johnny Ris- lto and George Godfrey. The record book states that Risko met Godfrey in a 10 round bout in 1928 and de- featcd him by decision.
 Several local fight fans are inter- ested in staging boxing program in this city with Jack Britton as one of the principals in the feature bout. After q study of the costs of staging a bout, it has been about decided that q bout of this character would be prohibitive. It would be a good attraction, there is no doubt but it would be a. boomer for the pro- motors, it is feared.
 Several friends in this city have received postal cards from silk" O'Loughlin. former announcer at the amateur boxing bouts in this city two years ago. Silk is now out in Los Angeles, California.
 Judging from the activity of Young America on the various home made diamonds about the city, local baseball teams arc already in spring training the same as the major league clubs. A warning to young stcrs to watch their arms, will do no harm although it might do no good.
 There is question right now as to the semi-pro baseball situation in this city. There will be very few teams in existence during the next summer months, it is predicted. No official announcements have been made from any of the clubs that were active last year.
