BEISLER HOLDOUT FROM PRO RANKS
 OF HOCKEY GAME

New Haven, Nov 15.-Frank Beisler, star amateur defense man now with the New Haven Eagles at their training camp in Toronto, Ont, is still undecided as to whe- ther or not he will sign a New Haven contract to play profession al hockey. Frank gaining valuable experience with the Eagles, is of the opinion that he had better hold off for another season before joining the paid players.
 Frank Carroll, manager of the Eagles who start their home season at the Arena here against the Bos- ton Bruin Cubs on next Sunday night, Nov. IS, was told bzy Joe Sim pson, manager of the New York Americans, that the Eagles are bound to go places in the Can Am league this year.
 This came about after the Am- erks had defeated the Eagles in bristling brush over the ice by a score of to 1 last week. Carroll is highly elated over the prospects of the team for the 1934-35 Can- Am league hockey season and he is confident that the locals will be with the leaders from the out set. Arena Director Nathan Podoloff is inspecting the team in Toronto
 before they shove off for Quebec
 where on Wednesday and Friday
 nights they clash with the Que
 bee Beavers in the opening games. All of the Eagles, new and old,
 are in fine shape for the face-off.

Prospects Bright For City Hoop Loop
Bs JOHN A. CLUNEx

Anxiety of the Irish-American A. c. and Tribunes to secure bas- ketball franchises in the City Anna teur league for the 1934-35 sea- son as well as the apparent inten- tion of last years six entries to hold their places in the coming seasons competition augers well for increased interest in the Sum- day afternoon circuit, so much so that the teams may have to play twice a week or schedule their games we'll into next April, with an eight team membership. It so happens that both clubs asking for permission to play in the league have followings that from box office standpoint cannot be ignored by other managers holding fran chises in the circuit, which is why eight teams will probably consti- tute the league membership this year and swing into action one week from next Thursday at the Y. M. c. A. with games to be played on Sunday afternoons and Thurs day evenings thereafter, according to present plans, which are subject to change.
