Speaking of Sports Bill ' McElwain, star - basketball player, will join the ranks of the benedicts on April 29, according to information secured today. He has been engaged to a New Haven young lady fqr some time and the culmina- tion of the romance that brought him east will take place the latter part of this month in the Elm City. McElwain, it is understood, plans to settle down in New Haven and if this is s0, he will probably become a regular member of the New Brit- ain basketball team next season. His presence in the local lineup with a good squad Built around him, will give the local combination one of the sweetest offenses and defens:s of recent seasons. ‘The rain of the past few days has raised havoc with all and sundry baseball squads, all of which have been prevented from taking any workouts. According to the weath- er prognosticators, this rainy spell will result in warm and balmy weather. If this is so, they can't make us sore. ‘The Corbin Red Sox baseball team has a game scheduled for next Sun- day. This is the opening gun in the battle of the 1929 campaign locally and there should be plenty of inter- est for the baseball fans of the city before the summer months are over. ‘With the successful ending of an extraordinarily successful Industrial league basketball season with the annual banquet last night, another feather can well be stuck in the war- bonnet of Bryce L. Long, Industrial secretary of the Y. M. C. A. through whose untiring efforts, league ‘waa brought to such a brilliant con- clusion, Bryce has been the moving spirit in all of the industrial athletic ac- tivities since his arrval in this city and his ideas and plans have always been constructive. His unbounding faith in the love of sports of New Britaln people gave the Industrial basketboll league this year a sizeable treasury. He devised the season ticket plan which work- ed well even beyond the fondust hopes of the officials in charge of the league. It is not too much to say and every other official in the league will agree that working with Bryce Long in the arranging of details of play |* has been by far a pleasure rather than a burden. More power to him! M. J. Kenney, president of the Y. M. T. A. & B. society, came in for a share of the praise handed out last night at the banquet at the “Y" for his cooperation with the league during the past season. “Mike” not only did everything pos- sible to make relations with the league officials pleasant but he also was one of the best supporters the Industrial league had during the year, Fellow members of the P. Corbin girls' basketball team dedicated the following song to ' et Charland: “There ain't no sitting on the bench, all by my- in & basketball game.” & F, have When an Industrial league social 1ent is being held those in attend- ance are assured of plenty of enter tainment other than that scheduled when Joe Luke, “Nibby” Nyborg, and Ray Holst get under way. Many of the boys who face the crowd of hostile fans with unlimited courage, became weak in the knees last night when a female entertainer addressed words of her song to them. In this respect the older men in the group showed the young men how to handle themselves in a difficult position. Due to the fact that the rings which were to be presented to the individuals who are on the two [championship teams had not arrived last night, a banquet will be given 1o the two squads in the near future, at which time the prizes will be awarded. The Y. M. C. A. will be host to the players.

And they find all these distinc- tive attributes of Chrysler Motors quality at a price well below 81000. They find a roomy, comfortable car with long, low lines and at- tractive color combinations—a stylish and distinguished car. They drive, and find a speedy and vigorous car—with ample power, a remarkably fast get-a- way, rapid yet smooth accelera. tion—a car that holds the road securely at all speeds and with alert response to brakes and clutch and wheel. Is it any wonder that since the first day of its introduction, De Soto Six has outclassed in popular favor any other first- year car at any price. See De Soto Six and drive it.
