Future IN Doubt

Future of the sport is still
problematical, although a crowd
of 10,500 fans, the largest ever TO
witness basketball program,
came TO Olympia TO witness a
professional triple-header. And the
collegiate double-headerS drew in
creaSingly larger crowds all winter.
The war, of course, is a major
factor in plans for next season.
Just as important. however is the
problem of finding a suitable hall
in which TO stage the games. The
Eagles became transforming
club this year when the Naval
Armory was barred to them be-
cause Of the emergency, and the
Autos played each Sunday at Holy
Redeemer gym.

Mayor Harry Irvine and F. Patrick

F. L. building trades unions during
a discussion of the absence of war
work in the Cumberland area.
Ordering a letter be written to
Representative Byron proposing
meeting in Washington or in Cum
berland, Mayor Irvine suggested the
letter assert. we are not asking but
demanding an immediate reply"
Mr.. Allender said West Virginia
areas represented by Representative
Randolph seemed to be getting re-
suits. Many men forced to leave
Cumberland by the lack of work, he
said. were finding jobs in West Vir-
ginia. Elkins and Martinsburg. w.
Va, both have been chosen as sites
for transferred Federal offices, he

person on the spot. Apparently
some one is asleep at the switch in
Washington"
