Opinion by
President Judge Crumlish, Jr.,
Frank Hines appeals from a Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board denial of benefits. We affirm.
Hines, allegedly injured at work, was discharged when he was unable to perform normal work assignments. The Board affirmed a referee’s decision which concluded that Hines failed to connect his alleged injury to his employment through adequate medical evidence.
