HOUSE sCONCURS WITH SENATE
 IN PASSING NEW SUNDAY LAW
 LEGALlzlNG AMATEUR SPORTS
Music and Games May Be Played in Public Parks Under Provisions of Bill Which
 Now Awaits Action of Gov. Baldwin

Hartford. May 16-F1or the first time the Connecticut House of Representa- lives has let down the bars on Sab bath observance. A bill reported fla vorably by the Judiciary committee which will permit music and amateur sports on Sundays in public parks passed the House late yesterday. It has previously passed the Senate. An other bill which also passed the Sen ate would permit all sorts of profes- sional sports and amusenents on Sun days, comnercializing the Sabbath to an alarming extent, but this was turn ed down decidedly by the House. Amendments to it and to the bill which passed that would have let down the bars still further were also turned down, and 1t looked as if the bill itself would be, but the House in which it is doubtful if there was quorum at the time-in the end ac- cepted the committees report and passed this
 The bill concerning work and recre- alton on Sunday was opposed by many people, specially the Churches. The bill was rejected. A motion to re- consider was lost.
 The bill permitting music and ath- letic sports in public parks on Sunday afternoon was then taken up.
 MT. Caine of Naugatuck offered an amendment which MT. Healy opposed
  day bill, the members were treading on consecrated ground, and should be very careful in amendments. That the amendment would open parks in small towns, where they were not needed, and which the bill was drawn to prevent, he feared '"rhe bill IS designed only for the workers of crowded industrial cities,'' said MT Healy.
 MT. Kihchberger Of Morris viewed with apprehension any attempt to un- derrnine the solid foundation on which the pillars of government rested, by violating that commandment which has come down through thousands of years, '@Thou shalt remember the Sab bath day to keep it holy"
 MT. Caine argued that the rich man in his auto was favored by the present law, while the poor man was denied the only sports which he could afford to pursue.

U. s. WILL SEND
 TEAM TO GREECE
Will Compete in Athletic Meet
 at Athens This Summer

James B. Sullivan, Secretary of the Amateur Athletic Union, made an i'm formal announcement yesterday to the effect that the United States would send an athletic team to the Olympic games to be held at Athens, Greece, during the spring of 1914. This meet belongs to the local cycle of Olympic games and bearing on the ''interna- tiona1 cycle of meets, the next of which is scheduled for Berlin in 1916.
 It is believed by members of the American Olympic Committee that the Athens games will take place during either May or June. If such proves to be the case a team of between twen- ty and thirty athletes will be entered.
 The majority of the entrants will be athletic club stars, since the college track and field performers will not be available at such an early date. The team will sail about a month previous to the games and will be in charge of one Or more members of the commit tee and an officially appointed trainer.

which he did not [ also remember another passage of the Bible which says, ''the Sabbath was made by man, not man for the Sabbath.
 '@The bill reported by the committee is just what the Park Commissioners of Hartford wished. than whom there are no better citizens in the commun- ity. It is carefully drawn and goes just far enough. It should pass.''
 MT. Hall of Wilmington said that as he had opposed the Sunday bill two years ago, he would have to oppose this amendment, which would open every professional ball park in the State.
 'tI had always opposed Iibera1izing measures,'' he saids .and I Twas very much surprised and pleased when I read the committee bill. It is 3, good, reasonable bill, and shall vote for it''
 MT. Ryce moved the previous q1es- ton on the amendment, but before the vote was taken MT. Caine withdrew the amendment.
 MT. Ryce then moved the passage of an amendment, provided the inhab- itants may play games indoors and outdoors on private property in such a manner as not to disturb the quiet of the Sabbath day.'' The amendment was voted down.
 Mr. Evarts of Milford moved the previous question on the bill, which was ordered.
 After a short address by MT. Healy, the vote was taken, passing the bill unanimously A motion to reconsider was lost
