 The teams already entered in the eastern half Of the league. according 10 an official announcement from the officials are as follows: Brook lyn, Paterson. Camden. x. J.; Will min2ton, Del; Philadelphia, Reading and possibly New Britain, Conn.
 lt was the conccnsus cf opinion CT the managers of the league pres "nt at the meeting, that New Britain is the outstanding basketball city in New England and would make an admirable addition 10 the American League. At the present time. PrrTi- dent Thomas O'Bricn Of the Amcri- can League is on q western tour ar ranging for the entries into the west crn half Of the league.
 This is quite q compliment 10 Now Britain. The fact that, unsolicited these high figures in basketball cir cles. should mention this city as ! possible member Of the major baS- Ectball league of the country. shows that New Britain's reputation has travelled far and wide.
 Manager Clarence I.anphcr haSn' i made any comment on this matter as yet because he hasn't heard it of ficially. Whether he would undertake to enter the American League is a question that would certainly take a great deal of consideration. At the present time. New Britain is the only Connecticut city that is really sup porting basketball and the game is going over big, despite the lack Of opposition about the state.
 Wrestling will be started in Hart ford next week with Panther Joe NalccWiCz as one Of the star per formers in the main bout.

working we'll, but there will be no d.
vorce-not for the present, anyway
The immediate effect of this German
docility to Russian desires is bound to
be worse relations with Poland. This
attitude is helped by the return to
power of the junker-led Nationalist,
who are mostly East Elbians and who
hate the Poles.
Point 10 Polish Army.
The Polish German commercial treaty,
from which so much was expected, is
already being deprived of much of its
beneficial effect.
The Russians are feeling confident,
although for internal purposes they
continue their ideas about the immi-
nence of attack by the bourgeois world.
They know that this is largely bum
combe. It is true that they fear attack,
because they realize that it is about the
only thing which actually would over
throw their rule at home. Therefore
they point to the Polish army.
The real truth, which the bolshevists
know WELL is that the Poles would at
tack Russia only were bolshevism to
fall, in the hope of dividing this great
empire into its national constituents
and establishing a number of smaller
states, chiefly an independent Ukraine,
under Polish influence. Short of an
anti-bolshevik insure ction in Russia,
the Poles will remain quiet.
Renewal of relations with England
has given the bolsheviks nerve to accuse
and try employees of the British Lena
Goldf1elds concession.
With Germany submissive, the Brit
ish anxious to do more business, and
the Americans organizing Russian pro-
ductivity, the bolsheviks are in better
position to carry out their five-year
plan and try out their Communist eco
ncmics under favorable circumstances.
1t would now seem to depend upon
them alone whether they can make
Communism work.
