M0GULS TO GRANT
POLO FRANCHISE
Three Parties Seek to Promote
Game in This City

The scramble for a franchise FOR
this city in the American Roller
Roller Polo league goes on apace
although the polo season came to
close last week. The directors and
officers OF the league meet next Sun
day in Hartford at which time, 1t Is
expected, the franchise will be
granted to some ono of the three
parties now seeking it.
New Britain would have had polo
here during the past winter but for
the lack Of a suitable hall in which
to stage the game. Now, this lack
has been filled and It remains only
for the vote of the board of directors
to decide whore the game will be
played.
The three parties seeking the
franchise in this city are Ed Daley
and Peter Perakos, the pair which
guided the destiny OF the All-New
Britain football team: Frank Nc
Donough. proprietor of the Casino
bowling alleys and Denny Mcmahon,
fight manager of Meriden and Patsy
Bridget. local sportsman and pro-
moter of the Hardware City 4. G.
Three places will be available with
these mon securing the franchise.
The Tabs hall VIII be let out for
polo, it is understood. following
complete investigation of other halls
by members Of the board OF dlrec-
tors. The Tabs with a newly con-
structed building containing a hall
as beautiful as anything in New
England. were averse at first to al
lowing the game to be played be-
cause OF probable damage to the
floor.
After discussing the matter and
investigating and inspecting floors IN
other cities where roller polo Is
played, the Tabs are satisfied that no
great material damage is done with
the fibre rollers now used by the
players TIE board of directors has
already voted, it is said. to allow the
game to be played in the hall.
Frank McDonough. proprietor OF
tbs Casino Bowling alleys on Church
street, has a hall which was origin
ally built for polo. In case he is
granted the franchise. he plans e1-
tcnsive alterations in the place and
will have other attractions there.
The third hall available for polo
Is not vet erected but tentative plans
have been made by the men who re-
Gently purchased the II. Y. Walker
property on Commercial street to
build spacious hall on part OF the
land there.
Nav Britain is "open territory" as
rs fer as the franchise is concerned,
according to officials OF the league.
That means that no one has the
promotion of the game "sewed up
and the naming OF the franchise
holders in this city will not be made
until next Sundays gathering In
Hartford.

The South church basketball team
was eliminated in the semi-final
round OF the tournament for the
state church title Saturday after
noon when it dropped heart

EXecrable luck on shots and a

The MiddIetown team started with
a rush and at the quarter was lead

Takes on New Sales Department to be
in Charge of L. d. Kitchens


J. E. Wilson, our well known furni-
ture and hardware merchant, has add
ed another department to his store.
He has taken over the managing of
sales for the F'rigidaire for the terri
tory comprising Smyrna-Clayton, Do
yer, Middletown and vicinities. LID.
Kitchens of Clayton, has been en-
ployed to take charge of this sales
and service department and is now at
the main factory at Dayton, Ohio, re
ceiving instructions at the plant
"from the ground up" This new de-
partment of J. E. Wilson promises to
be one of much activity. Last week
four different sized Frigidaires were
received and are being set up for
demonstration. The Frigidaire brings
a new standard Of refrigeration to
the home of today. Its electric re
frigeration automatically provides
dry, permanent cold. 'This modern
ice man calls once-with Frigidaire
and the ice stays always" Another
noteworthy feature of the Frigidaire
is the fact that it can be placed in
the kitchen, where it is most conven-
lent, without regard to accessibility
from the outside. Besides providing
a high standard of refrigeration, Frig-
idaire freezes an abundant supply of
pure ice cubes for drinking water just
the right size for table use. The
