OF Pennsylvania player and after grad
uatng he played with the Cape May and
Orange Athletic club teams. lie has
played professionally for four years.
There is a possibility that Mr.. Irwin.
may be manager of the Providence team.
and there is now a difference between
him and President Cressy as to salary,
but this obstacle may be overcome and
the veteran secured for Providence. Last
year Mr. Irwin was National league

more concerned In its welfare and would
do more than man who had only n sal

bility that an understanding VIII be
reached soon and then a meeting of the
board OF directors will be called and the
matter settled
So far as grounds are concerned IL Is
possible the owners OF the Promenade

grounds have many features which
make them desirable. one being the prox-
unity to the center OF the city. the ease

To make the change would cost consid-
erable money. something like $4,000.

TO CONTROL
LIQUOR
BUSINESS
BuTiI|ViIIe Citizens Circulating
a Petition for a Police Com
mission in That Town.

From present indications a petition will
be presented to the general assembly a;
the coming session praying for the es-
tablishment of police commission in the
town OF Burrilville
The petition was put I'm circulation in
the mills and workshops yesterday morn
ing and received number of stigma lures
During the day the petition was also
taken around among the business men Of
the town.
For long time the subject OF police
commission has been agitated in the town
and such action has been looked for. but
its appearance at this time created a
mild sensation in the town.
Al present the town council has under
consideration the applications of 25 citi-
zens OF the town for retail liquor licenses.
or one for every 240 residents of the town.
This large number OF applications, IL
granted, those who are pushing the com
mission idea say, will result i'm debauch-
ing of the whole town. women and chill
dren as well assmen being drawn upon for
patronage.
The petitioners also point to the fact
that Sunday business will constitute "A
great item in the running OF the several
saloons, and that IL will be impossible
with the small police force OF the town to
prevent IL.
III Is claimed that the larger part OF the
support Of the petition comes from the
smaller villages I'm the town, but that the
sentiment In Pascoag and Harrisville the
largest villages Of BurriIville. was en-
tireiy against commission and that
the whole thing would be killed there
Among the opponents OF the bill Il is
said that rhe idea was q prominent issue
In the recent election and that they cast
large percentage OF the vote of the
town. One politician said that because
= appilcat tons had been received by the
town council there was no necessity of
granting all OF them. and in fact some
or the applicants had been turfed down
In previous years
The promoters claim that the assembly
VIII grant the petition at the coming
session. Among those who are pushing
the petition are two clergymen and sew
eral physicians Of the town.
