'SE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS Information on the formation of the eastern section of the American Basketball League will be secured Manager Clarence Lanpher of the New Britain team when he at- tends the meeting called by Presi- dent John O'Brien in New York city next Tuesday night. The proposed by castern_circuit will span cities be-* tween Connccticut and Washington, D, CF The only city in this state consi cred as a possible entry in the American League is New Britain. { An invitation has been issued to the local manager to attend the meet- ing and voice his opinions about the proposed circuit. Because there were so many applications fo- places in the lcague, it was found necessary o split the circuit into an castern and a western division. It is proposed to limit each teai to two recognized American League stars. This will give every club i geod nucleus for a quintet and will tend to make the circuit more even all around. Fach section will prob- ably be limited to cight teams. Manager Laapher in talking over the situation, declared that the only thing that will keep New Britain out of the only major basketball leagu in the country, will be the ques- tion of finance. Being on his own with respect to the local combina- tion, Manager Lanpher feels that a proposition that would run into biz money, would find him outside the pale. One thing he will insist upon if New Britain is to become a mem- ber of the '‘American League, will be the retention of admission pricas usually charged in this city. He anl wany others in touch with the sit- uation here, figure that New Britaia ould not support a team at the prices prevailing in some of the larger cities. 1f the proposition looks good, Manager Lanpher had made tenta- tive plans to get up a scason ticket both for reserve and rush seats. The sale of cnough of these would give him an excellent stake upon which to work in building of his New Britain team. The leaguc proposition appeats to be a good one. During a scaso like the one just past, the New Brit- ain team was forced to play a serizs of exhibition games. Although the fans were pleased with the appear- ance here of most of the big figures ir the game today, the basketbail appetite was bound to become satis- isfied with exhibitions. ~ Near the cnd of the scason, there was noth- ing to excite the sporting instinc’. There was no competition with rival team and the scason faded out sev- eral weeks hefore the usual tim Playing league ball, there would Dbe this natural rivalry, especially 1f New Britain should be up in th: standing. Then, there is a big sec- tion draw from including ths towns and cities nearby. It is felt that, with all things be- ing equal, American League basket- ball would go very big in this city. Manager Lanpher expects an intec- csting session on April MAXE ' READY AGAIN New York, April 24 (P)—Maxey Roscnbloom is ready to fight again. In the last three months the slap- stick star of the light heavyweights has carned $12,000 in his rise to the top of the class—and spent it all. So Maxey is rcady to fight again.
