PlainVille News SC|NSkIS WANT
 SUNDAY BASEBALL Appeal to ChuTchmen and Town
 Officials to Raise the Lid. NO ENCOURkC EVENT FROM CLERGY
Selectman Johnson Opposed to Hav- ing Dumping Ground'' Made of Plainville-Nolan-B -BIinn Wedding Reed Gets Check-Briefs.

Scinski brothers, owners of the Baseball association, were in town yes terday afternoon to confer with min isters and other churchmen as we'll as the town officials regarding the pros poets for professional baseball on Sundays at the Electric field The New Britain magnates, although ap- parently somewhat discouraged over the patronage given the club, do not seem to have given up hope and they still believe there is a chance of get ting back at least part of the money they have invested in the proposition.
 While the local mem approached on the subject seemed to be in sympa thy with the New Britain men on account of the gameness they have exhibited in clinging to what appears on the surface to be losing venture, they were not able to offer them any en- couragement on their plea for Sunday baseball. The visitors were advised that as long as there is a law on the statutes against commerc1alizing the national pastime on the Sabbath, any effort made by the management of the New Britain team to give exhibitions at the Electric field, which is located in this town, will meet with stubborn opposition, and will cause an appeal to the authorities to prevent the lifting of the lid.
 The Scinskis had a talk with Rev. F. L. Grant, pastor of the Congrega- tional church, and the recognized of Grant was at the head of the commit tee which enlisted the services of dep- uty sheriffs in stopping the attempt to play at the field during the J. J. Mur- phy regime. Although a baseball fan himself, he is opposed to commer- cialized sports on Sunday and in his give exhibitions at the Electric field he had the support of his congrega- tion.
 The visitors were given a courteous reception by the minister, but were advised that the forces which inter fered when Murphy owned the team are still strongly opposed to Sunday baseball and will not tolerate it at the Electric field.
 Selectman Johnson gave them no more encouragement than they re- ceived from the clergyman. MT. John son explained that although personal ly opposed to Sunday baseball, the playing of the game at the Electric field does not interest him particularly Nevertheless he is vigorously opposed to making Plainville "dumping ground for other places, which while unwilling to permit the violation of

Now you children whose names are

of you, see that your name keeps on
roll each month. The first month
that passes without your. sending
something for the Children's Page,
your name is dropped from the list.
WhileI was very much pleased to
get so many letters and stories from
the children, I couldn't help being
disappointed when I noticed that so
many of our little friends who have
won prizes or have written for our
page before, did not write. Of course
you are too late for this January-June
contest now but you can try on our
monthly contest work-which by the
way is, "Why Like the Farm" for
February.
We must not forget that someone
won the January prize for the best
