Giant Pitcher Receives Scant Sym pathy From Justice Who
 Hears His Plea

New York. Sept. II Pp-The plea ot Hugh McQuillan, New York Giant pitcher, that he was "broke' and could not possibly pay the ali- mony long overdue to his wife to- day failed to arouse any echo of sympathy from Supreme Court Jus- tice Strong in Brooklyn.
 High class ball players, with the present high standard of pay, can raise any reasonable amount of money" commented Justice Strong In adjudging McQuillan guilty of contempt of court for failure to keep abreast of his alimony payment. Mc- Quillan was ordered to pay $400 to his wife immediately and an addi- tional $S50 next Monday, as part payment on the allowance stipulated by the court, pending settlement of the divorce action, or go to jail.
 Through his attorney, McQuillan, who was suspended from the Giants for failure to observe training rules, promised to make the payments. but under protest that he was without funds, as he has not been paid sal ary since his suspension six weeks ago. He said two suits are now In the supreme court against the New York club for salary he claims is due to him. He charged his wife is in no need of funds but is mott yated by a desire for satisfaction. ,"
 Mrs McQuillan's divorce suit was filed August 1. She named a Bronx beauty contest winner as the other woman involved. Pending settle- ment of the action, McQuillan was ordered to pay $500 a month ali mony.

PROPERTY OWNERS APPEAL
 PERROTTA CASE DECISION
Dispute Over Three-Family Houses on Shuttle Meadow Avenue to Be Taken Up to Common Council Will Ask for Rescind of Permit,

The ordinance committee of the common council will meet tonight in Plainville to complete work on the most important pieceof legisla- ton undertaken by the city, the es- tablishment of a zoning system. The committees decision to go into another town to perfect a system of building layout was not actuated by a desire to stand off and get & gen. eral birdseye view of the entire city, but to meet the convenience of the city's legal adviser, Judge John H. kirkham, who has Q summer home in Plainville.

 Formal appeal to the common council from the action of the build ing commission in granting Joseph Perrotta permits for three three- family houses on Shuttle Meadow avenue was taken this afternoon by klett & filling, representing 12 property owners within a radius of 500 feet of the Perrotta property.
 .. The appeal will be held at the next meeting of the common coun- ell. It is alleged by the appellants that the permits were not properly issued; that the construction of the building planned by Ferrotta will depreciate property in that neigh borhood, and the petitioners ask an order resembling the grant of permit.
 Perrotta on July 23 applied for permit to build three-tenement house at 16s Shuttle Meadow ave- nue. The building commission ad- vertised the fact and allowed one week for the filing of remonstrances. Opposition was voiced at at public hearing. On Sept. 10, according to allegations of the appellants, Per- rotta was granted permits for three family houses at 165, 167, 16s shut tie Meadow avenue, although appli- cation for but one house was before the commission, they claim. Sub stantiating this claim, the complain ants have secured certified copies of the application for permits showing the date of Sept. II, the day after the permits issued.
