%Speaking of Sports A wealth of candidates turned out for the first practice of the season staged by the I'alcons baseball team Saturday afternoon at Mary's field. Numbered among the men who appeared for the workout were many new faces and from the ma- terial, Coach Ray Begley will be able to select a first line team. The number of candidates trying out for the Corbin Red Sox team was small but enthusiastic. Not much work could be accomplished hecause the day turned out to be rather windy and cool, The Falcons, fa seasons in recent year on their roster such men as Soule, Riley, McKernan and many others who have appeared on local teams, These were out Saturday for the workout session and although they couldn’t show much stuff, they went threugh the limbering up paces in good style, ing one of the may of Jack Scott and Johuny Rose were among the candidates for pitcher: | berths who turned out. Coach Beg- | ley anl Manager Cabay looked bhoth over to see that they took no unnce- | . essary chances with their arms. According to Manager John (a- bay, the Falcons will be entered in the Connecticut baseball league. A meeting of those inferested was held yesterday in Meriden and repre- sentatives from the Bristol Ne partures, Torrington, Winsted, New Britain, Tafeville and Beacon Falls were in attendance. 1t is planned 1o have an eight club Jeague all teams to he about equal as Lo speed and playing ability.

These two outfits are counted Centr Connecticut Baschall is in process of formation present time. at the A meeting of team r sentatives in the Central Connecticut Will be held in Meriden leagne Tuesday night to discuss plans for the open- | y ing and makeup of the league, The Corbin Red Sox of this pity are list- cd among those entered in this cir- cuit, Once more and for the last fi this season, the New all team suffered Stanley Arena Saturday cause of the team's unpracticed cye from the foul line Rabid fans can find no excuse for the inability of the local team to score almost perfectly from fthe frec- throw line, but when one takes into consideration that the local team gets together only when it plays, that actual games constitute the only workout the crew has as a coni- bination and figures what effect this has on the squad, then nothing but the highest sort of praise can be given the players individually and collectively for putting up such a great game against the Celtics Sat- urday night. The Celtics, one must remember, arc the world’s champions, and not synthetic champions. On the sur of things, the visiting team should he able to hest New Britain by at least 30 points. In two mectings, the Celties could do no hetter than beat New Britain by a margin of seven points. The first victory was won by a six-point margin and the contest Saturday night by a seven-point margin. To us, the season just ended has been a great one and it is with a tinge of regret that we view the nassing of a great basketball team. Tt is our fervent hope that all mem- ber of the squad will be in trim for next season and will return to the fold to furnish as much entertain- ment as they have during the winter months LINEUP FOR GAMES First Two Popular Choices in Fach of Major Circuits Scheduled to Oppose Each Other. New York, April 9 (7 The start of the major league campaign finds the first two popular choices on each circuit lined up as opponents. In the American, the Yankees en- gage with the Athletics while in the National, the Pirates hook up with the Cardinals. With the exception of the Sena- tors and Red Sox, all the clubs begin hostilities on Wednesday. Washing- ton and Boston go into action to- morrow.
