New Britain herald., 1914-07-08

the law at home seem anxious to have Sunday games played in this town. MT. Johnson holds that the New Britain ball team should play Sunday games in the city, the name of which it uses, instead of coming here For that reason, if for no other, he could not permit the man. agement to give exhibitions, especial ly in view of the fact that there ap- pears to be strong opposition among the citizens.
 While the selectman was willing to
 discuss the matter, he told his callers
 that it was useless to seek permis- sion from him anyway as he had no authority to allow them to play.
 There is a law against baseball on
 Sundays and a complaint to the prop
 CT authorities by single individual would be sufficient to cause the ar rest of the principals in the exhibi- tion and even the spectators should the police decide to press the issue to 1 that extent. Others who were interviewed by l the baseball team talked in a similar vein The general opinion appears to 1 be that a popular vote would show substantial majority in favor of Sum- l day baseball but as towns are not given local option, such action would | of course be futile.
 l The visit of the Scinskis is regard ed here as simply a 'feeler' and it Is
 not considered likely that they will
 attempt to play any Sunday games l while the opposition remains so de- 1 termined.

 Reed Gets Check. Harold E. Reed yesterday received 1 from the Aetna Life Insurance com
 pany of Hartford, check for $81.50, the amount of benefits due him tu ] date under the workingman's com 1 pensation act, according to the de- l cision of Chairman George B. Chand- l Ter made public last week. The bill was held up since last January, the l Orient Music company of Forestvilie,
 which employed Reed at the time he 1 was hurt, claiming that Chiropractor l Wooding, whom they engaged to attend | him, had pronounced him fit to r--l l turn to his duties a few days after 1 the accident.
 l Commissioner Chandler ruled that a chiropractor is not physician within 1 the meaning of the compensation law l and for that reason the company was 1 liable to the expenses which the young man incurred in getting treas- ment from other doctors, in addition l to the benefits which the law pro- vides.
 1 There was report that the com 1 pany would appeal to the courts from ] the commissioners decision but the 1 payment of benefits makes it appar- ent that the matter will be settled 1 without any litigation.
 Blame Connecticut Company. Responsibility for the condition of | the macadam on Pine street is laid to the Connecticut company by the town: officials and the officers of that Corporation will probably be asked to repair the street before the end of l the summer.
 The street was macadamized by the | town last summer. The macadam IS | not holding up we'll however, and ir 1 is claimed that it's present condition l is due to the practice of the trolley l people in hauling freight cars | through the streets to the Hart and Hutchinson companys plant in New l Britain. The fanges on the wheels l are much wider and deeper than those on trolley cars and the town 1 officials declare they they tear up | the stone near the tracks and loosen l the entire surface of the road.
