MINISTER OBJECTS
 TO ARMY OFFICERS
Claims They Object Too Much to
 Military Training Opponents

New York, Dec. 27 R)-John
 Nevin Sayre, Episcopalian minister
 and brother-in-law of Mrs. Jessie | Woodrow Wilson Sayre, has written
 to Secretary of War Davis complain
 ing that army officers are harassing opponents of compulsory military training in colleges, and seeking to deprive them Of their right of free speech.
 MT. Sayre specifically charges
 Lieut.. Col. George Chase Lewis of
 the regular army and of the 59th Reserve Division objected to his ad- dressing students at the University of Oklahoma. at Norman, and that, perhaps in consequence, students
 who were opposed to the compulsory military training there and who at
 tempted to arrange a meeting for him to address them, were unable to obtain the use of the University Y. M. c. A. hall.
 Mir. Sayre, Who is . member of the Civil Liberties Cnion and vice. chairman of the committee on mili- tarism in education. declares that Lieut.. Col. Lewis wrote letter from Oklahoma City to the president of the university stating his objections to Mir. Sayre, and calling him more dangerous than an "open com munist."
 The officer called attention to the fact that Mr. Sayre had signed an appeal for a s200,OOo fund for the defense of soviet organizers in Bridgeman, Mich.
 Mir. Sayre declares in his letter to
 the secretary of war that he is not and never has been a communist, and that he signed the letter be- cause of his belief that any man ac-
 cused of violating a law is entitled
 to fair trial.
 II should like to know" says the letter, whether you consider it a
 proper function of any army officer to attempt to shut off free speech lpI pSdCe III uuiNtlSitltS' | .h. S' As, and even churches?
 Finally, may l ask. if the war de- partment does not take energetic
 measures to restrain Lieut.. Col Lewis and others in activities siri-
 lar to the case mentioned, will I not
 be justified in charging that the war department Is responsible for a campaign of defamation of character
 and attempts to repress free speech for peace in which its subordinates
 are engaged?"
 NIT. Sayre also declares he was re-
 fused permission to make addresses
 at the Universities of Missouri and Indiana, and that no one can speak on the University of Wyoming campus, etc.

BOYS CLUB PLAYS ,
New City Five of Torrington To Op- pose Local Quintet on East Main Street Gym.

The New City Five of Torrington will oppose the Boys club on the local floor tonight in what should be fast game. The Torrington team and the club quintet fought a close battle last year when they met here and the Torrington management has sent word that it will bring over practically the same men as it did year ago. New Britain has the same lineup, so that the combat will be resumed just about where it was left off.
 The club has been coming rapid ly and developing with every game. Lighthouse" Kley Is showing par ticular improvement and is now iustifying the hopes which Coach Ray Anderson has placed in him for the past three years: his work against the Laurels last week was outstanding. Gill, kraszewski, and Zapatka work together in various combinations to baffle opposing de- lenses, while Goffa and Silva make q pair of guards whom it is impos- sihle to shake off.
 There will be preliminary game between the Boys Club Re- serves and an independent local team. Dancing, with music furnish ed by the Imperial Club orchestra, will follow the big game.

The New Britain Industrial bas- ketball league will resume play aft CT the Christmas holidays tomorrow night In the Y. M. c. A. gymnasium with two good games on the pro- gram. The feature contest is ex- pected to be the clash between the Russell & Erwin five and the P. x IF. Corbin quintet.

Chicago Dec. 27 7Pl-Dry shoes on a dead mans feet were the clues that turned to justice the slayer of William Lindstrom, radio cabinet maker.
 Loren Patrick. who confessed killing Lindstrom December "as a favor" for Mrs. Lillian Fraser, "a friend. who got me out of jail,' con- tinued nonchalant in his attitude toward the affair. The clubbing to death weighed so little on his con- sciense, he told police, that he scarcely gave it a thought save to keep out of the way of the officers.

RAISE OBJECTIONS
 ID THIRD LEAGUE
New York Parties Want to Buy Stadium in Pittsburgh for Team

Pittsburgh. Dec. 27 R-The pro- posal, advanced by New York repre- sentatives of projected third major baseball league, to lease or buy the two year old s2,000,000 University of Pittsburgh stadium as a playing field for contemplated Pittsburgh entry has aroused considerable com ment. The advisability of turning over the college bowl for profession al baseball purposes brought opin- ions from the trustees, while vet eran baseball men discussed the feasibility of third league and the stadium as a baseball park.
 Members of the board of trus- tee were generally without infor nation of the proposal. as 1t has as whole, but many of the thirty evidenced an attitude of listen ing" to any offer which might bene- fit the university in a monetary way without hindering the colleges use of the structure. One took an op- posite view, declaring that use of the stadium for professional baseball should not even be considered.
 Another trustee, as we'll as num- ber of baseball men. who know the dimensions of the stadium, asserted its playing field was entirely too small for the diamond sport.
 Barney Dreyfuss. president of the Pittsburgh club of the National League, said he had no knowledge of the project and "less interest"
 Charles (Deacon) Philippe hero of the first word series of the Pir- ates more than 20 years ago, was among those who said they did not see low a third league could pay because of the enormous initial ex- pense.
 The third league interests offered $2,100,o00 for the stadium, it was said by the trustee who gave out word of the offer. The answer given he said, was if the New Workers would put the proposal in writing it would be submitted to the board of trustees. This was several months ago. according to the trustee. who said nothing more had been heard from the promoters one of whom was said to be "Tex" Rickard.
