L aaanaas et 2 RXXTXT LTI YR Speaking of Sports ¢ Although a definite report eannot yet be made up on the amount of money secured through the basket- ball carnival for Tim Cronin, Man- ager Clarence Lanpher today stat. ed that the amount will be ahout $500. Seeing that the returns have not yet all been turned in, it may run a little more than this, but it will be no less. With the knowledge that such a splendid sum was realized for the player who for years followed the game, comes the thought that the great support given to the benefit is one of the finest spectacles of sportsmanship that this ever seen. There would have been more of a reason for New Britain people to support the project, had Cronin been a New Britaln boy, but be- cause he was a Hartford lad, never played on a New Britain team and had no connections here other than admirers, the affair has become such | an occurrence as happens only once in a great while. Needless to say, the family ot} Tim Cronin cannot adequately ex- press its deep appreeiation for the goodness of New Britain people. From his father to his smallest child, Tim Cronin's family would like to be able to thank individual- 1y all those who took a part in| making the affair possible. ; Because this cannot be, the man-! agers of the teams, the players, the donor of the orchestra, the referees, :nouncer, sports writers, workers and all others, even to the specta-| tors, may rest assured that their part in the benefit performance will| ¢r be forgotten. It was a good; eced well done and everyone Who took part in it whether it was to| or just to watch, may feel well repaid in the knowledge that the| immense success of the affair help-| ed the man who is to benefit by it, | atly in his health. The National Guards will play| wn in Middletown next ¢ night and Middletown will | the Guards at the state arm-| his city next Saturday night. Bailey of the Atlas A. of New Haven has decided that| ause of the poor attendance at \o games In New Haven, it would poor policy to have the Guards| there on Friday night, Mamk n team will| urday, March Manager Clarence Lanpher and| ge Jos Carroll of the Na- tional Guards and Bristol Endees, v ectively, will confer next Tues- day night on the next game to be Jlayed between their teams.

Maurer was reputed to have received a “high salary.” He, with others. southerners, was with New- ark. The club hit the rocks.
