A. again tomorrow night to make

New uniforms donated to the po-
lice baseball team by the lawyers of
the city, were received yesterday by

team on Wednesday. August "a.
No action was taken by the park
board at Its meeting last night with
regard to renting out Memorial field
In Willow Brook park for football
this coming season.
Two applications were received for
the use of the park on Sundays. One
was from Promoter Peter Perakos
and Manager Edward J. Daley of
the All-New Britain football team
and the other was received from the
Rangers A. c.
A lengthy discussion was INDUCED
in by members of the board but it
was decided to withhold decision on
the matter until next Tuesday night.
At that time public hearing will
be given on the matter.
Alderman William H. Judd who
was at a meeting in City hall was
asked to attend the park board meet
ing and he stated that in fairness to
any club or person interested in
renting the field, that public hear
ing should be held on tire matter
He said that there was some criti-
cism on the part of several in the
past of the manner of renting out
the field.
Judge William Mangan said that
last season the promoters Of the ALL
New Britain team. were the only ones
to make a bid for the field and any
criticism of the methods used in
renting the field were unwarranted.
The question not on the boards
last night appears to be whether the
park board will seek to get the usual
revenue from the field. Manager
Daley OF the All-New Britains team
stated that he had offered a rental
OF SIS per Sunday or privilege of
10 per cent Of the gate receipts to
the park board. This was the price
placed on the field last year and 1t
is a question whether the Rangers
\. C. can meet the price or not,
In former years when there were
only comparatively few seats at
the field, the All-New Britain team
has been the only club in the city
seeking the privilege of renting the
field. Now that there are enough
seats for 10000 spectators at the
field, other petitions have been re-
ceived.
Just what action will be taken on
The matter is question that can
not be decided until the park board
meets next Tuesday night to hear
the arguments.
Following the meeting last night,
the promoters of the All-New Brit
ain Football team threatened to
withdraw their petition, but they
will probably hold off until after
next Tuesday night
They state that they cannot agree
10 a policy of alternating at the
field because of the fact that there
are not enough games on the road
10 fill the dates on which another
team will be using the gridiron at
Memorial Field.
Peter Perakos stated, following
conference. that after the disastrous
season last year, he would not be
anxious to support a team this year
unless he could be guaranteed
place on which to play. 1t may be
that the promoters of the team will
investigate to seek another field, but
that is hardly likely, as there is
none available.
There Is a probability that plans
\ or the formation of an All-New
jritain football team will be entire
y abandoned because of the turn in
! vents brought about by the petit
ION of the Rangers club for use of
: Iemorial Field son Sundays. This
s,tction, however, is anything but
definite.
