Speaking of Sports ; ‘We are in receipt of a communi- cation this morning defending the position of Manager William May of the New Britain Blues against the criticiam directed at him by Mana- ger Turner of the Pawnees. Had the communication been signed as it should be, its contents would be duly noted. It is unsigned and therefore ignored. We wish it understood that per- aonally we level no criticism at any football manager for the failure of another team over which he has no control, te put in an appear- anee for a scheduled game. The crit- icism voiced fn this column yester- day of the Blues was that of the Pawnees and not ®f the Herald sports department. A defense of Manager William May's position, 1o us, in totally unnccessary. He is not to blame if the Meriden Mohicans failed to play the game last Sunday. ‘The view taken by the manager of the Pawnees was silly, we think but because we knew where the com- munication came from., we printed its contents. 8hould our corresponi- ent of today sign his name, we would be glad to print his answer. A report reaches us from New York that the Celtic - Basketball tcam, for years the world’s champ- ion court quintet, has broken up. Nat Holman and Davie Banks have gone with the Hakoah team of New York. famous in soccer. while the other three members of the tcam have gone out west. Johnny Beckman's All-Stars will appear here probably within the next three or four weeks. His team 18 stronger than ever this scason and its meeting with New Britain shou!d be one of the sensations of the carly season, After Beckman's appearance here last year, he expressed the wish that he would be able to take the local team in hand for about two wecks of steady coaching and he predicted that the quintet would be able to stack up against the best in the country on absolutely even terms. He voiced a number of construct- ive criticisms about the methods of play and since that time, has had nothing but praise for the ability of the local players on the floor. Beck- man may find an improved quintet here this year. New Britain people were denied the privilege of seeing Beckman in action for any length of time last scason. In an altercation with Ref- eree Dillon, he was banished from the floor and the referce refused to allow him to resume play. ‘Whether Referce Dillon was right or ‘whether Holnian was right is a question for the fans who were there to decide among themselves. Tb u it was an unfortunate occurrence. ‘We would certainly have liked to see Teckman play and hope to sce him at his best in the near future. Corbin Screw., New Britain Ma- chine, Stanley Works and Corbin Cabinet lLock teams made an ap- pearance in new uniforms last night in the Industrial Basketball league and the color schemes were impres- mive, The season-ticket idea which was started this year has been the best financlal measure ever enacted by Bryce Long, Industrial league s tary, who for four years has been getting gray hair worrying about the financial out-come of the season. This year there is no doubt but that | it will be a huge = at the Tabs' hall a nickel 18 to be tried after the L On Friday dance fdca games. With the exception of two teams all the Industrial leaguc teams scored over 50 per cent of their foul shots. Stanley Works made an even 50 per cent of its chances making § out of 16. Russell & Erwin team made the worst showing with 4 out ©of 20 for a mark of 20 per cent. Corbin Cabinet Lock and Corbin Bcrew had the best percentage, each making 70 per cent of their shots. Cabinet made seven out of 10 and Corbin 8crew made 14 out of 20. “New Britain Machine almost matched its opponent from the Cor- bin Screw plant when it scored 66 and 2-3 per cent of its foul shots. Matters relative to the high school game for Saturday are at a stand- still at the present time. New Bri ain is sure of a game for Saturday but the game it wants it cannot have, it seems, and the game the New Britain team has it does not want. Vermont Academy will be played if the headmaster refuses to cancel the game, but if he agrees, then New Haven Hilhouse will come here. CONDITION IS CRITICAL ‘William Humphreys, aged 75, cf 179 Stratford Road, who has been at New Britain General hospital since September 25, having fractur- ed his leg in a fall. is in a critical condition, it was said at the institu- tion teday.
