Speculation is as rife here in New Britain as it is in Hartford over the withdrawal from the Eastern league of Hartford and Pittsfeld and. strangely, it is not so much over the chances of Hartford in the league or it's failure to support a team, but the question arises wheth- CT New Britain would be able to support team in an organized league.
 Fl the makeup of the league to- day was the same as it Was when the Connecticut league was in exist ence, we would be inclined to say that this city would be a worthy ani active member of the league. How ever, with the league so far spread apart, it is doubtful if this city or any other city of its size, would be fertile field for the game.
 Since the days when the old Con- necticut league used to be in exist ence, this city has grown consider ably in population and, except for the present depression, business here is generally good.
 However, we believe the same condition exists in baseball as it does in football, basketball or any other line of sport. There must Oe room for keen rivalry between the various teams in the circuit This IS essentially lacking in the Eastern baseball league.
 Take league composed, say of New Britain, Hartford, Meriden, Bristol, New Haven, Waterbury, New London and, if you must, Springfield. These teams are group ed about in a section where fans could easily follow their favorite teams. about the circuit. Fans could be present at games to rag one an- other and there would be plenty of tun and interest.
 If the league were something like the above in makeup it would b" almost a certainty that league ball would go here. If the cities were widely scattered, the situation would be entirely different.
 Baseball. some say, is on the wane It begins to look like it when one considers that the New Eng land league is through and the Eastern is on the downward path. However, this seems to be true only of New England.
 The Pirate baseball team will practice tonight at 6 o'clock at Will low Brook park. All members of the team are asked to be on hand because of the fact that there will be no further chance this week for practice sessions.
 The Sokol team will practice to- morrow night from to s at Willow Brook park. All members of this team are requested to be on hand.
 We haven't heard Of any Fourth Of July baseball games in the works yet The Sacred Hearts and Ken sington will meet in the second game of their series Sunday afternoon at the Washington park diamond.

B Bellonte And
Coste To Start
About M ay Isl
Only Pair Planning
transatlantic
Flight
BY STEWART BROWN

by DIE w A1O4 O1OOV4N
United Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, April UP9-French av-
iators, too busy with breaking world
records and establishing new COM
mercial air lines, are planning to
give the Atlantic a period Of COM
narrative freedom from tranS-ocean-
ic flights during the coming sum-
mer.
Dieudonne Coste, who now holds
a fistful of world air records and a
chestful of flying medals, has been
the first to announce preparations
for a Paris-New York flight. His fly
ing companion, M. Bellonte, also
is an experienced flier.
Coste and Bellonte will have their
plane, the famous Question Mark,
ready for the flight on May IS. They
will hop-off from LIE Bourget the
first fine day after May Is, ac-
cording to Coste who declares with
characteristic confidence that he
expects to reach New York without
a mishap. He is SO confident OF sue
cess that he is flying in straight
line and will not pass by the Azores.
So. far Coste is the first candi-
date for the North Atlantic flight,
although there are several in the
field for the South Atlantic. These
flights are commercial ventures
linking France with South Ameri-
ca by an Affair mail line instead OF
the combination air-boat system
now in operation by the Aero-pos-
tale.
The first attempt of this kind for
the summer flying season will be
under the leadership of Lieutenant
Provost who hopes to start~in APP
ril. He will make the flight in a
4 hydroplane specially equipped for
floating for a long time on water
in case it is forced down.
A survey of activities OF other
famous French pilots shows the ma
jority of them to be engaged IN
furthering air mindednesS or blaz-
ing new air lines into Africa and
to the French colonies scattered ov-
er the world
Jean Assollant, hero of a recent
New York Paris flight which
brought him later into the divorce
courts following his marriage to
an American girl, is working as a
pilot on the commercial line serv-
ing Strasbourg Prague which is one
link in the Paris -Constantinople, or
Stamboul, service. Assollant pilots
q three-motored plane for the first
time in his life.
His companions on the Atlantic
flight, Armand Lotti and Rene Le-
fevre, recently completed an all
tour of the Mediterranean and NORTH
Africa in the interest of air-minded'
ness. In small biplane they sue
cessfully visited the chief points O
interest in North Africa, including
AIgiers, Tunis, Tripoli, Egypt, Syris
and back to Paris.
