Player Team Declares Statement of Another Player Last Night Is Slightly Exaggerated In Story
 Concerning Finances

Members of the Lake football team, who have been finding fault with Manager Merrill's methods of distri- outing the fruits of the season are all wrong, according to member of the team this morning. It was charged that Manager Merrill. who looked after the finances of the team, that he had failed to make an accounting and ad not paid the Lake players anything on account.
 This statement, according to- one player, is entirely wrong. Manager Merrill" he said, paid each of the players s25 or $50 on account and told them if they wanted to be shown where the money went he was willing to give an account. No one asked for this and the matter stands just there. Manager Merrill has not made an accounting of the last game yet, but his business takes him out of the city a great deal and there is plenty of time for him to show the figures.
 "It was understood" the player continued" that we were going to play again Sunday and the following week we were to straighten out our affairs and officially close the season. That is the only arrangement that know of and as for Manager Merrill, I believe he is perfectly fair and square on the whole matter"
 Hickey. another player on the team. gave out different story last night and 1t is interesting to read what ne has to say. His statement follows:
 We have been trying to find Mer- Till ever since last Sunday night. As far as can see, we are the goats, and, in a measure. I'll be glad if it is so, for I warned the boys against this Merrill after he refused to make an accounting of finances for the first game. They wouldn't listen to me, however, declaring they had faith in him.
 Now, as far as I can see, Merrill has shaken the town and taken with him the money bags of the Lake football team. He has made no ac- counting and no division of the spells since the start of the game What ever there is that should be in the pockets of the players is in Merri1Ps pockets
 "Of course he may drift back to town and make a settlement and I don't say he won't do that, but the settlement is now long overdue.
 Merrill ran affairs in a high hand ed manner, and I am surprised the boys didn't take a tumble to him sooner. Merrill holds all the team parcelled out to a few of the boys when they were strapped and went to him with a let me have story.
 whether or not Merrill is through with the Lakes, the boys are through with him. We are getting together and trying to arrange one more game with the Chains, only local boys to play. If we are successful, however, we will run it ourselves. MT. Merrill can bs counted right out from now on-''

Local Students Are
 Going 70 Stamford
Will Root for Fasteners Win Despite Strained Rea- lions Between Stamford and Bridgeport Since
 Stoning Scene Four Years Ago

Despite the stoning they received in Stamford four years ago when Bridgeport High defeated Stamford High, II to 5 in football, a large number of the Red and Blac1z play CTS will go to Stamford tomorrow to witness the game between Stamford and Elgin high schools. Athletic relations between Stamford and Bridgeport have never been adjusted since the Stamford eleven showed such poor sportsmanlike tactics and that is the main reason why the two schools have not met in athletics since.
 Yesterday afternoon at a meeting of tle High School Athletic associa- tion, Elliott Berkwit, tackle on the 1920 football team, moved that the E1gin High School team be brought to Bridgeport for a game on Monday The motion created quite a commotion among the students be- cause Elgin was first booked by Stamford and to play them on Mon day would be a case of playing sec ond fiddle.
 Coach Hunt opposed the plan from
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-12-03

the start, but was given the power to decide whether the game would be played or not. Coach Hunts opinion was that the Red and Black would be taking the leavings from Stamford and besides that the High School football team had been closed. Whether it was advisable to reopen the season or not was big question.
 George Mansfield moved that the matter be taken up imme ediately by telegraph and as this went through 9, committee consisting of Coach Hunt, Jack Maher and Edward Sheehan was appointed. It was learned after the school hours that the school is opposed to the plan and its sanction cannot be obtained be- fore Monday the committee is powerless until then.
 Dewitt Clinton football team has disbanded for the season and for that reason will not play Bridgeport High this season. Unless arrangements are made to play Elgin High the foot ball season as far as the high school is concerned is now closed and has been a successful one.

Bridgeport Aldermen To
 Attend Boxing Session
 In Waterbury Tomorrow

Alderman R. Arthur Brown, rep resenting Bridgeport, will attend the conference of the State Boxing Com mission in Waterbury tomorrow when the bill to 1egalize boxing in this state will be drafted and prepared for the General Assembly session. In relation to the meeting the Hartford Courant has the following to say:
 It is certain that the commissioners will ask the legislation in the bill to authorize the establishing of a state boxing commission that will have complete power as regards the ring sport. The number of men to com prise that group and whether or not It's members shall receive monetary remuneration for their services will probably be decided upon Saturday.
 A method to maintain the commis- sion without cost to the state will also be discussed, although this real ly should not be much of a problem as the game should pay for itself and the commission should not find it hard to compose a clause that will provide for the maintenance of the body in a fair and square manner.
 The number of rounds and wheth- CT or not the bouts will be to a de- cision are questions that have prac- tical1y been settled, especially the lat ter. The commissioners all agree that decision bouts are the only kind that assure the fans of "their moneys worth while the majority of them
  The measures to deal with boxers taking part in illegitimate bouts can not be made too severe, as nothing hurts the game more than the occur renee of lone Of those things"
 Rates Must Drop.
 There is not much question but that the day of high-priced guaran- tees are over-that the managers and boxers of today must either work on the percentage basis or else cut down tn Ifr guarantee demands greatly A wave of rebellion is sweeping throughout New England and, in fact, the entire country, among the promoters and it is soon going to de- velop into one of the two things,- a big decrease in the amount to be paid to the boxers or a great scarcity of boxing clubs throughout the coun- try.
 Promoters are finding that boxing is not a paying proposition these days. They arrange the bouts at their own expense with the princi- pals taking away the gate receipts local promoters have, apparently become convinced of this and the number of applicants for boxing per mits has decreased steadily until now l only few remain who are still ready to take the gamblers chance. The 'sure-thing' guys, who rushed be- fore the com mission to secure per mits. have become sadder but wiser men as a result of their rather disas- trous experiences with the mit-swing- CTS.
 To continue to demand enormous and fabulous sums means the over working of a good thing and boxers 1 should be made to show on a per -centaSe or reasonable guarantee or else be forced to remain idle. A month Or so of vain attempts to se- 1 cure bouts would force these near highwayrnen to come down in their demands.
