TRYING TO MAKE BASEBALL
CLEAN

The exciting feature of too many
ball games consists in Raging the
umpire in season and out of season by
the PLAYERS and fans on both sides.
1t is refreshing to see that some of
the leading papers are out upon the
rough house tactics of the national
game
The Kansas City Journal says:
THE honest capable and fearless
umpire has the respect of fair minded
fans and he should be sustained with
all the power of the authorities and
protected from the rowdyism of both
PLAYERS or fans Drastic steps are
being taken in the two big leagues to
punish profanity on the part of play
ers and spectators. Such measures
adopted TO cleanse the sport still more
thoroughly will commend themselves
to all the admirers of the great nation
al game.
Most people who attend a ball
game pay their money to see at least
a clean game, free from 'roughneck
snort in any of its forms. Some of
those who go pay their money to in
dulge their liking for Safeguarding
the PLAYERS of the opposing team, the
umpire when he makes unfavorabl
decisions and the home team when it

are in a minority and all true sports
men owe it to themselves to see that

gencv, it is best to put on the brakes

WHAT HAS BEEN ATTAINED.

Norwich has had a year of near
commission government and perhaps
this character of it had more to do
with defeating the new charter for
commission government than anything
else.
Our democratic mayor and the six
democratic members OF the court of
common council have formed it. and
the six able and dependable republic
cans were of no account in discussing
or directing municipal affairs. hence
the voters gave to Mayor Thayer a full
democratic city government and denied
10 him the adoption of the charter for
a commission form Of government OF
which he hoped to be the father and
insugtirs tor.
According 20 the near commission
government methods of last year, man
AGED b. a solid democratic force the
all democratic council of this year
must be a nearer commission govern
ment and a special executive commit
tee will not be necessary. since COM
mittee of the whole will amount to
the same thing.
Norwich has not injured her reputa-
ton for enterprise or PROCESS in fol-
lowing the example Of New Haven in
charter for commission government
and continuing what some citizens
honestly believe to be a broader and
perhaps better form of government.
The commission form Of government
was wanted so that it would be possi-
bic to fix the responsibility of our pub
lie servants. and the result of Mon
days election attains that object,
since there is not a republican in Of
fee and Mayor Thayer and the party
he represents can this year divide the
responsibility OF government with no
one.
II was not as woeful a result as
some OF our commission charter par
tisans think IL is. for everything is
focused now. and with good officials
and % good mayor what else is it pos
sible TO have but good government?

"Give Them. a Place to Play
BY Denis A. Mccarthy

Plenty of room for schools and halls,
Plenty of room for art:
Plenty of room for teas and balls,
Platform, stage and mart.
Proud is the city-she finds a place
For many a fad today,
But she's more than blind if she fails
TO find
A place for the boys to play!
Give them a chance for innocent sport
Give them a chance for fun
Better playground plot than a, court
And a jail when the harm is done.
Give them chance-if you stint them
now,
Tomorrow you'll have to pay
A larger bill for a darker i'll,
So give them place to play.

NEW HAVEN's NEW CIVIC CEN
TER,

New Haven is among the cities that
are creating a civic center and who
through skilful engineering are pro-
ducing wonderful results. The Boston
Transcript alluding to the changes
being made in the Elm City" says:
with the new postoffice building
authorized by congress last winter,
New Haven will soon have perhaps the
most elaborate group of public build
ings of any of the Connecticut cities.
The site chosen faces the New Haven
green and it is proposed TO bring it
into harmonious adjustment with the
new public library, the new court
house and city hall. This calls for the
land now occupied by the Second Ma
tional bank building, which is to be
removed bodily, a fact that would
once have been regarded as q remark
able piece of engineering, but one that
has been often accomplished since it
was successfully performed in the case
of the Hotel Pelham in this city,
