% e Speaking of Sports Although keen disappointment has Jbeen - expressed ia various quarters | because of the fact that Manager | Clarence Lanpher has deccided to call it a basketball season after last Saturday night's game. sober con- sideration of the conditions at the Present time and especially the con-| ditions attendant on the I few games played at the Stanloy Arena, Il bear out the wisdom of the manager from the standpoint of a sports promoter. All season long, the going was| pretty tough and uncertain. Indus- trial conditions were such about the state that all teams except MNew RBritain were forced to ‘quit even be- | fore the season was half over. The| Bristol and Meriden Endces -were | out of the picture, the former for| the greater part of the year while | the latter failed to even start. The | Atlas of New Haven sprouted like mushroom and then died away. | There were no teams about ‘the | state of a quality good cnough to! give the locals oppositon. This | forced Lanpher to go out of the| state and bring clubs here that| hrought with them no especial ‘nter- | est excepting that which the Ians might have in zood basketball ex- hibitions. | €Coming down to the end of the! #eason each year, the series between intra-state rivals such as New Brit- ain, Bristol, « Meriden and other| teams that might be in the running. had, the interest of the fans at a fever pitch. ' This natural rival was- lacking this year and because of this, ctten- | dance wgs falling off each game up- til last Saturday night, only little more than 400 fans paid admission to watch the game. When the Schenectady team failed to appear on time, some of these fans went (o the box office to get their money back. There will be quite a period until | buseball ceis in. It is expected that the Industrial lsague and the City| league will again be orgzamized, | though nothing definite will be done about this until later on when the scason is about to open, The indoor season has trous everywhere for ba though New York state is carrying the season right through this month and part of next. American league | teams report slim attendance =t most of the games while indepen- dent {eams -report that th had a hard time playing at home while the guarantees on the road | have been anything but attractive. When things are right:in this ity every line of sport reccives whole hearted support. If conditions pick up by the time the next indoor s ! son rolls around. we expect New Britain will return to its high pin-| nacle at the top of all the cities ‘n| Connecticut for its support of mports. | — | last night's game against Plain- | ville may have brought the basket- | hall carter of Clifiord Bell.
