GREENFIELD FIGHTS
DAYLIGHT SAVING
win Call Town Meeting to Vote ON Con-
tinuatiOn of Standard Time-Cir-
cuIating Petition.

GREENFIELD. Mass. April 23-
Stephen T.. X. Davenport, who circulated
petition and presented it to the select
men. asking for a special town meeting
to xote upon the question of continuing
with standard time, presented the petit
ton only to find that it carried not
enough names to make it legal, accord
ing to Frederick l.. Greene, the towns
solicitor.
Mr. Davenport secured II names, some
not registered voters. but this will only
serve to delay proceedings temporarily.
as the petition will again be circulated
and the necessary 100 names will be Sc
cured. 1t is believed there is strong OPP
position to daylight saving time in these
parts and that if a special meeting is
called here the voters win favor standard
time and there are those who believe that
the outcome will be that all towns in
Franklin county will take similar action
within a short time.
The daylight saving law goes into eff
feet Sunday morning at , o'clock and
Judging from the public sentiment OPP
posing the plan, it will not be long be
fore some. If not all Of the county towns
will revert TO the present time schedule.

SABBATH BASEBALL
 COMING UP AGAIN
General Assembly Is Expected to Again Act on Measure Which
 Governor Has Vetoed.

Hartford. May 1.-The general as- sembiy today was expected to take up the bill to legally sanction, under To- cal option. the playing of profession al baseball and football on Sunday afternoons which Governor lake ve- toed late yesterday.
 This bill went through both branch es without much opposition. Pending It's enactment managers of Eastern league teams had withheld making seasons schedule. expecting that boards of aldermen in Connecticut cities represented in the league would permit Sunday baseball.
 Last season Sunday games were played in Bridgeport and Waterbury without interference from the local authorities. The Hartford team had to play away from home, while New Haven played in Hamdcn. just outside the city limits.
 Amateur sports legally may be played in parks under a law passed four years ago. One objection offered to the present bill during debate upon t was that if gave to professional promoters of sports greater latitude than was given to amateur recreative sports. Governor Lakes objection was that it tended to further 'commer- cfa liza ton" of the day.
