PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL
 BIC "BUyT" THIS FEAR
New York Giants Said to Have Dropped S35,ooo-Hart- ford Blues Went s23,ooO "n the Hole'-All-New Britain Ends Season With Deficit of S4,5oo-Losses Reported By Other Clubs - Rain On Successive Playing Dates Cause of Apathy of Fans to Game

Reports from the colleges from ora end of the country to the other state that the football season just finished has been one of. the most successful, financially, ever known in the history of the sport. But, a widely different story is told of the ventures of the various promoters in the professional football field. es- pecially in the National and Ameri- can leagues.
 Although a full list of the teams which have suffered heavy losses during the past year. Is not avail able, reports show that the sums or money squandered in the various ventures Of teams which are well known in this section of the coun- try. mount into thousands Of dollars.
 Heading the list of the teams which went in deep, are the New York Giants. the New York entry in the National Football league, owned by Tim Mara and a syndicate of sportsmen in the metropolis. A report of the check up on the sea- sons financial aspect showsa this club to be Tin the hole" for s55,- 0O0. Next to the Giants come the Brooklyn Horsemen, the club pro- noted by Humbert Fugazy, with losses said to total S45, 900.
 The Hartford Blues. promotion of which club was undertaken by Mossrs. Missett and Byrnes, owners of .he velodrome in East Hartford in conjunction with George Mulli- gan. owner of the football club, suf- fered reported losses amounting to S2S,0oO.
 The Frankford Yellowjackets came out of the season with S1I,- 0O0 on the debit sidu of the ledger, it is said. and the Providence Steam- rollers dropped a total of s7,000 in the National league venture, reports state.
 The All-New Britain football club promoted by Peter Perakos and Dr. David Waskowitz, lost S4,500 for the season. The local organization did not enter any league or contract for any obligations as big as the league agreements called for and for that reason the aosses in this city appear to be small in compari- son.
 It is the unanimous agreement Of the promoters Of the clubs that the season of 1928 was an of year. for professional football. Rain on successive playing dates when the sport would have attracted it's high cGt interest, was given for the main cause of the apathy of the football fans. During the season, several Sundays, with three consecutive ones coming along on which a deluge of rain fell. killed tte inter- est in the sport and as the reports from the various clubs are almost nation wide. it is proved that the condition was in existence not alone in this section. All appear to be- lieve that next year will See q re- vival of the interest In the game and with break" in the weather. those backing the enterprises should have an opportunity of recouping some of their losses on this years $ venture.

above the pews of the congrega-
ton, some 8 feet in the air, and
the speaker mounts to it by means

Thirteen may be an unlucky
number, it may have brought mis-
fortune and disaster to those who
have had anything to to do with
it, but it don't mean anything to
the Common Council members,
nor to the Chief of the Police
Department, Belleville Naylor.
For starting July l, there will

ten members doing duty at pres

The new patrolmen are: John Ma

With the addition of the extra

divided has not as yet been an
nounced by Chief Naylor. Besides
the chief, there will be a captain,
Howard Clark, and a sergeant,
Lewis Betterton. All are officers
of long experience in the city.
The appointment of the new
officers came as a result of the

A plea for strong cooperation
in everything that tends for the
moral, civic, economic, political
and social betterment of the COM
munity was made Tuesday after
noon, when Rev. J. J. Messler,
pastor of Wesley M. E. Church,
spoke before the Kiwanis club
meeting in Mrs. Lang's, S. Shore
road.
II ask your club "a strong orga-
nization) for strong cooperation
in everything that tends for NOR
al, civic, economic, political and
social betterment of our commu'
nifty" he said.
1T is said that when God had
finished making the rattlesnake
hyena, scorpion and skunk, there
was a heap of scraps left. Then
the devil took the scraps, put
them together, covered it with
suspicion, wrapped 1t with jeal-
ousy, marked it with a yellow
streak, and produced a knocker.'
Then God took the brain of a
man, wrapped it in civic pride,
covered it with brotherly love,
marked 1t with equality and JUS
tice, and sent it out to work for
God in the community, and called
it a booster
BE a Booster and not a Knock
err.
"Rudyard Kipling, in his poem
IF says:
If you can talk with crowds and
keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings,-nor lose the
common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends
can hurt you,
If all men count with you, and
none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving
minute
With sixty seconds worth of dis
lance run,
Yours Is the Earth and everything
that's in it,
And-which is more-you'll be a
man, my son!'
