Drug Victims Are Big Problem For
 City Officials

The department of public charities e9inds itself greatly handicapped in the kfreatment of dope f1end'' cases be- ,cause there is no law or statute which inTin enable the department to keep Hhe user of heroin, morphine, and oth- Ter drugs under surveillance a6g long Ter than the user of the drug himself edesires-
 Heroin users and otehrs who are Rddicted to the use of various kinds of drugs Of a like nature are taken Hn charge by the Charities departme and after couple of days treatment Rt one of the hospitals or at Lake view home, just long enough for them ho recover from the worst stage of fhe breakdown which invariably fol- hows indulgence in these drugs, they want to leave the hospital or home gn order to get back to their accus- Aoned haunte.
 The authorities cannot detain them Rs there is no statute governing the case The result is that they go back j1o their homes and immediately begin 10 take the drug again. If there was pome statute which would enable the Authorities to hold these dope users ahey could undoubtedly be kept un- her treatment until they had been cur ed of the drug-eating habit.

ARE ISSUED FOR
 BRIDGEPORT PLAYERS FOR
 LAST SUNDAYS BALL CAME

The long expected outcome of the advent of ''Jack'' Denny at last Sun days ball game between Bridgeport and Springfield held in NewheId park came today.
 Warrants for the arrest of all the Bridgeport baseball players, Monte Cross, manager of the Bridgeport team and Hugk Reddy, secretary and ticket seller, were issued today. This action is the result Of the campaign which is rio riof this city against the playing of comm mercia1ized ball within the city limits on Sundays. It is the sequel to the arrest and trial of several play CTS recently in the city court, when nominai fines were imposed.
 At that time appeal to the high CT tribunal was taken by the players and the court remarked that instead of arresting players those desiring to prosecute, should search out and find those actually receiving the profits. It was the general belief that further warrants if issued would be requested for the owners and directors Of the ball club and association
 Last Sunday, however, Jack Denny, g. former pugiIist was retained hY. the Pastors association and upon infor- nation laid before the prosecuting at torney, Alexander Delaney, no re- course was left open but to issue the warrants upon the complaint made This has been held up for several days owing to the mass of work accumu- lating before the local prosecutor.
 Seven warrants for Bridgeport play CTS issued today. Although nine play CTS participated in the game on July g, now conceived to be "hoodoo' day, it is understood that no com plaint will be held against Catcher C. Vandergrfft and Outfielder Shea, these two members having since been released by the club. Those for whom tha warxants are out are understood
