 "One thing do not like to see, and I think I have the backing of every one in Bridgeport, is the importation of outside officials by the Bridgeport Athletic and Amusement Corporation, to handle the Sunday games at New field Park.

Isn't home talent good enough. or capable enough. to handle these games? And what's the matter with Charlie Malone working these games? Other cities are making a good enough to work at home Bah! Give local officials the preference or close up shop!
 Another thing is the bringing down of a team, such as the Mo- hawks, to play the Bridgeport team, Sunday. The Mohawks are not in a class with the Bridgeport team, and It what the Mohawks did against All Hartford. That's enough!

Skane's time was 3 minutes, 5 4-5 seconds. Cleveland, the Bristol captain, completed the .1-2 mile course in Is minutes 26 4-5 seconds. Suckers time, who came in third with the Hilltop colors, was 1 5 minutes and 40 seconds

It was the first time that Vangor ever covered two and half miles, Moorey, another of the new men for the Hilltops. fin ished fourth, closely followed by TelIsman the barefoot boy of the up- state team.
 Matty Skane has made much better time in previous races, but owing to the hilly course and little contention offered, the Red and Black skipper fell back of his time record of II minutes and ? seconds.
 As Manager Billy Lee was ineligi- ble, Schwertle was appointed acting manager Coach Al Anderson was very well pleased with the showing made by the new men, and is obsessed with the notion that his athletes will capture next Saturdays meet with the Yale Freshmen, as the regulars who were unable to compete yesterday will be in harness
