HOME NEWS.
A PLEA FOR THE BOYS.
FROM THE BEES FRIEND, H. N.
 TIEMANN. ,E

July 22, 1908.
 To the Editor of The Bee:
 Dear Sir: In your valued paper of last week 1 noticed quite an extensive notice of the game between the (grown up) Newtown Baseball team and that of the Danbury Gymnasium, but none at all of the game of the younger team, the N. A. C., nor do you seem to put notices of their games in your paper. This is, of course, an over sight, as you believe in fair play and would be the first to regret sighting so worthy an organization. The boys ot the Newtown A. c. deserve much credit for the manner in which, under adverse conditions, they organized their team, got subscriptions from number of public spirited citizens of our town, bought uniforms and equipments and arranged for games with other teams. They make it a rule to play straight game and will not allow any of the pro- fanity or rowdyism which are too often the accompaniments of ball games. They have, so far, played IA games and won 10, which is showing that many grown-up teams might be proud of. Again, when they were unable to play on the Fair grounds lon account of injuring the grass) they pluckily looked for another place to play and almost despaired of finding one, until W. B. Glover. who probably remem- bered that he was once boy himself, offered them the use of one of his fields. Last week they got up, with the kindly and material assistance of some of the ladies. very successful dance in order to get some money to help them pay the expenses of visiting teams. Oour boys need these sports to belp them develop into the right kind of men and to occupy their spare time, as if not so occupied they are only too apt to drift into. lazy habits, if not worse. It would also help and encour- age the boys if there were better at tendance at their games; it is very dis couraging to play before an audience of only half dozen, or so. Pardon me for taking up so much of your valuable time, but I feel strongly on the sub feet. If you think it would be of any benefit, you may publish this, which is my excuse for writing.
 Yours truly,
 H. N. Tiemann, Sr.
 If the N. A. C., boys will send mo- tices of the games they are to play. The Bee will gladly give them the ben eft of the public notice, flee gratis. We are also glad to receive reports of games they play Editor.
