dations at the park will very greatly increase, and it would seem the part of wisdom to forestall, if not prefig- l1re, that day by making such provis- ion now.
 It may not be generally known that the Crane Valve Co.,, in planning the scope of their great athletic park at the West End works, have allowed for a running track. It has not yet been constructed, but the writer has been given to understand that the coming season will see work upon 1t consurp- mated. It is a grand idea, and so far as I know the Crane Go. are the pioneers. Manufacturers everywhere are recognizing the great value of pro viding for their employees needs in this way and showing it in their encour- agement of, and provision for, gym nasia and athletic sports. But pone have grasped the idea in it's complete ness as the Crane Go. Of this citi- zens of Bridgeport may well feel proud. tc Other establishments are bound to follow suit in due course So 1t is but Q matter of time before there will be in this great industrial center, in ad- dition to industrial leagues for base ball, similarly conceived organizations for the furtherance of athletic sport on the field and track. If baseball will be found many times more so, be- cause they are so much broader and universal in their scope. Not that baseball should be supplanted = far from it-but fittingly supplemented Only IS or 20 men can take part in a baseball match, while hundreds are taking part in the field and track sports.
 There is something fer everybody. Something for the little man. and something for the big man; something for the stout man and something for the thin man. There is indeed so wide a latitude of interesting choice as to meet the taste and capabilities of everyone. Thus are the benefits of the sport approximately more wide- iy disseminated. Thus does the com munity, individually and collectively. share a larger good.
 Seaside Park will be the natural vortex of this new interest, and cou- bling with it the present needs, it. would seem to be a most capital idea for our magnanimous city fathers to adopt the suggestion of our wide awake correspondent, 'Would-be Ath- lete," who, judging from his letter can hardly be a "would-be'' but something of an 4fs-er" himself, which speaks all the more edoquently for his mod esty.
 Thanking you for this privilege of your valuable columns. am

STRONGLY SUPPORTS
 SENSIBLE SUGGESTION
 'WOULD=BE=ATHLETE'
Keen Interest Being Manifested In Providing Much
 Needed Equipment at Seaside Park
WHAT CRANE VALVE co. PURPOSES

To the Editor of the Farmer: Sir:-
 Would be-Athlete," in a letter in Friday evenings Farmer, in which he makes an eloquent plea for shower baths and locker accommodations at Seaside Park, certainly has drawn at tention to a worthy need. The writer we'll remembers. as candidate for the High School teams, how we boys used to long for a shower and rub" after an afternoon of strenuous practice, be- ing both sweat and dirt begrined, and also a place to keep our things. Most of us then belonged also to the Y. M. benefit of g. shower and a rub and clean, dry clothes after a bit of hard work in the gym which stirred the blood to the very toe-tfps and forced streams.
 We had found then the wonderfully exhiliarating- effect of the shower, plunge. and turkish towel. It made us feel new beings, cleared out the cow webs from our brains. and sent US on our way vibrant with the joy Of liv- ing. But at the Park. where there was no such accomnodation afforded, compelled as we were to forgo bath and change of clothes. and to walk up home as we were. we always felt mean and sticky after our exercise. The bath, then. is not a luxury at all but necessity. Without it as a finishing touch the round of exercise is fncom- plete and the benefit following sharply arrested. Therefore I can thoroughly appreciate the point brought forward by our enthusiastic and public spirited friend and can only heartily second his suggestion that the good city fafh- CTS take hold of the matter at their earliest convenience.
 There is also another point that comes to mind in thtS connection. Just now, by the unfortunate misunder- standing that has arisen among some of the teams of our industrial league. we are very forcib1y reminded that sport is p1e ying a large and important part in the lives of our induetrial townsmen, and that, incidently. if our great and only Seaside Park were equipped as suggested by "Would-be- Athlete" not only would the High School and Y. M. c. A. boys profit but all those numerous contestants of the city league teams who play at the Park would share in the benefit.
 The time is not far distant too, that the mechanics in our great manufac- turing establishments will extend their interest to include track and field ath- 1etics, and will want then to use Sea- side Park as the, Y. M. c. A. boys have been privileged to use it the past month in preparation for the State meet last Saturday. With that the need for shower and locker accommo-

FIRST SUPER
 DREADNAUGHT Germany Hopes Soon to Surpass Naval Power of England.

Hamburg, Sept. 25.-The worlds first super r-Dreadnaught'' the fore-rrnner of the navy with which Germany hopes soon to surpass the naval power of England, was launched here to-day. The keel of the new warship was laid 9 months ago and the launching to- day, marks a new speed record in con- struction and indicates the feverish anxiety of the German people to see their navy in the front rank.
 ' The launching was private and the utmost secrecy was maintained in or der that certain vital details in the construction might not be disclosed. The size and equipment of the war ship are closely guarded. It is said the vessel will be of 22,0O0 tons and will be furnished with the heaviest armor.
 Germany is Building five other sssup- er-Dreadnaughts'' and within four years the intention is to have four Dreadnaughts and six ''super-Dread- naughts" completed which. the Ger man Admiralty says. will make Ger many superior to England.
