Speaking of Sports Tex Zevin, manager of the Ori- oles basketball team, denies that his quintet lost a game in Meriden. In no uncertain terms he states that no such thing ever happened. How- ever, he fails to mention the game with the Middletown Twilight league team which he evidently forgot to | include in the record of his team. He says in a communication that the recognition given the St. Stanis- laus basketball guintet of Meriden as state champions by the Herald, doesn't mean a thing. However, it means a great deal more than a silly claim by any other team to state championship laurels. The Orioles, | Manager Zevin states, were invited to play in the Plainfleld tournament but they didn’t accept. If they didn't go into it, that is their hard luck. The fact stands that the tanis- laus team will be generally recog- nized as state champions. In speaking of this state title bus- ness, we wonder some times if _of these managers ever figure that there are basketball teams in Bridgeport, Stamford, Norwalk, New Tondon,. Willimantic, Danielson, Danbury, Watertown and other places in Connecticut. A team to win a state championship, either has to win the title through an orgdnized tournament or by defeating every | other team, in the state in its class. The St. Stanislaus team of Meri- den went into the Plainficld tourna- | ment with its chances no better then any of the other teams entcred in the play. 1f New Britain teams | or teams from any other city who | figure that they have a chance to | claim a title. There is nothing at all to prevent | a team from claiming titles of any or all sorts. Claims mean nothtag. Tournament results do. In other words, talk is cheap and only ac- tions count. Jerry Conway, center and d on the New Britain basketball team, will play first base for the Spring- field Ponies in the Eastern Baseball league. according to an announce- ment issued today. Jerry received a tryout from Washington Senators some years ago. His admire: < all confident that he will easily retain his place on the Springfield team. He throws left handed.

A victory over Tony Canzoneri at the Arena to- night will place Smith in a position to demand shots at Al Singer, Jaci (Kid) Berg and Sammy Mandell. A loss will put the Bridgeporter on the skids again after a comeback campaign in which he trounced such battlers as Lew Massey, Benny Bass, Harry Blitman, Honeyboy Finnegan and Eddie Shea. Followers of Canzoneri believe the New York Italian will take Smith in stride. Smith’s handlers recall th: ambitious Lew Massey had rolled up 39 consecutlve wins before Smith set him back.
