Leniency was shown by Judge Joseph NJ. Donovan in police court this morning to four New Britain youths, all of whom were charged with breaking into and entering the dressing rooms Of the New Depar- ture baseball team underneath the grandstand at Muzzy field. Judg- ment was suspended in the cases of Stanley Partyka of 54 Booth street and Walter Golab, while Stephen Dalkowski of 325 Washington street and Stanley Fisk Of 49 Pennington avenue were ordered held at police headquarters until Friday morning for their part of the burglary.
 Detective Sergeant Daniel Me Gillicuddy, who, together with the New Britain police, has been con- ducting a quiet investigation of the burglary which occurred on May 2S, was the first witness called by by Prosecuting Attorney James T. Mather. He stated that Dalkowski. Fisk and Joseph Golaback of 147 Broad street, who is now in the State School for Boys in Meriden, admitted going into the club rooms. After climbing the fence, several boards were pulled off the side of the dressing room and entrance gained in this manner. While they were gathering a number of base balls, bats. gloves, shinguards, masks and other paraphernalia, Partyka. Golab, Henry Laskowski of North Burritt street, New Brit ain. and another youth, who is un- der 1s years of age, remained in Laskowski's car.
 Golab informed the court that while the three youths were enter ing the clubhouse, he and his three companions in the car drove around the square. Later they re- turner to Muzzy street and there met Dalkowski, Fisk and Golab back. who had brought with them the articles stolen from the dressing rooms. Dal- kowski and Fisk, whose parents were in court, refused to make any statement although they had plead ed guilty at the outset.
 Judge William F. Mangan Of New Britain appeared in the interests Of Partyka. He called attention to the boys good record in New Britain and the fact that he was well thought Of by the police authorities of that city. He also brought out the fact that Partyka was a member of two New Britain teams and that he had pitched the championship game in the American Legion tournament held recently in Danbury. He also spoke in behalf of the other boys, who, he felt, were not criminally in clined and would benefit from the lesson received in this instance. Judge Donovan, in rendering judgment in the cases of the four boys stated that it must be under stood by them that they would be obliged to make restitution for the amount stolen and that it was essen- tial that a catcher's glove be located and returned. The boys promised to do this.
