PlainVille News STILL TALKING OF
 SUNDAY BASEBALL Benefit Game for SClnski'S Players
 ReViVcS Local Agitation. LOCAL PLUMBER DIED SUDDENLY

c. J. Foster Was Highly Esteemed by | Townspeople-Town Reports to Be | Scattered Broadcast By c. S. Bab- cock-William Mitchelrs Funeral. A loyal crowd of Plainville fans is 1 planning to attend the benefit baseball 1 game at Electric field tomorrow after- 1 noon to show Owner William Scinski l that they are with him, heart and soul, in his persistent efforts to keep l New Britain on the baseball map. ] The action of the Eastern league in voting to head the subscription with
 check for $500 was hailed with glee | by the sporting enthusiasts as they read the Herald last evening.
 Owing to this new impetus to per- petuate the life of Owner Scinski's 1 enterprise there is some talk of re- 1 viving the agitation for Sunday base ball before the end of the league sea- l son. Members of the citizens com l mittee who have been directing the | plans of the opposition refuse to be- 1 lieve the rumor that the agitation l ghost is stalking again. They con- | slider the Sunday baseball argument closed for this season.
 l One of the town officials who is re- ] ported to be in favor of Sunday base l ball at Electric field has been quoted as saying that two arguments occur 1 to him to back up his contention. He
 says that the authorities make no ef- forts to stop the Sunday afternoon
 games at Woodford's field between 1 local teams. Moreover, for several
 Sunday afternoons within the last two months there has been horse trot-
 ting at the new half-mile track laid ] out on the sandy soil near the Tom 1 linson place More than casual in- terest has been manifested in the
 trotting and it is reported that ex- | perienced horsemen became real en- | thusiastic when one of the horses l stepped around the track at 2 :2 ? F clip. l Several of the baseball fans have l suggested that Owner Scinski ought to try an exhibition game on Sunday | afternoon, taking up a collection in stead of charging admission, and base I his defense on the facts that Plain 1 vile allowed local baseball contests 1 and horse trotting on Sunday.

 1 George S.

Benzon and 1 Frank Osborne. 1 After the auditors place their O. K. | on the various accounts, the data will be assembled for printing in the an- nual town reports. Following the 1 usual custom, the town officials eX 1 pect to have the reports printed and ready for distribution at the annual l town meeting which will be held on 1 October 5.
 MT. Babcock is contemplating a | new scheme for distributing the town reports so that every taxpayer will l be sure to get a copy. He intends to | load them into his buggy and drive
 around, leaving a town report at the home of every resident of the town. l In the past there has always been some complaint from voters and tax payers who did not receive a copy 1 of the report Usually the neg ] ligence has been due to the com- plainants themselves because the re- l ports are kept in the office of the ! loc+p,op at town ho1 and can "a
