ATHLETIC CLUB IS OWNER OF GROUNDS Title for Baseball Field Formally
 Transferred
 FOUR YEARS OF HARD WORK kenaangton to Play Two Games Over the Week. k-End-Annual Session of Foresters in Meriden Tomorrow Democratic Whist This Evening.
FOUR YEARS OF HARD WORK

Title to the Percival avenue base kensington Athletic club after foul years of effort on the part of the club to raise funds with which tc secure a clear lrranty in place ol the bond for deed which has been held for that period. The grounds have been transferred to the direc- tors of the club by Mrs. Anna L. Barnard of Kensington. according to a deed recorded at the office oi Town Clerk Arthur l.. Woodruff. The directors of the club who were in. volved in the sale are as follows: John Mckeon, James Hart. Harry McKeon, Rocco Belmont. Bernard Moore, F. J. Buckley. Frank Fogli- ati, Edward Moore and Daniel Ma larney.
 In August. 1924. number of lo- cal young men banded together and decided to organize an athletic club This was the beginning of the pres ent Kensington Athletic club. The club became solidiy united during the following winter and the mem bership grew to high numbers in a short while. It was decided to put 6 baseball team on the field and that resulted in the club obtaining 8 bond for deed on the Percival avenue grounds.
 Although the grounds appeared to be nothing but large lot filled with holes and hills, the members of the club worked hard every evening lev cling off the lot and eliminating the holes.
 This process was long and ex- pensive, the club spending over $e,- 6o6 to put the lot in shape for base ball. Although the subject seemed hopeless at times the members of the club cooperated with each other and sacrificed time and money in order to put the field over. At the present time the club has one of the best baseball fields in the state.
 The baseball team proved to be very successful the first year and attractive statewide notice because of their long string of victories. This first season of the club en- courased the members to expand further and on account of the large attendance that was present at ali its games, 1t was decided to provide bleachers for the convenience of the fans. The following season the Ber- lin Construction company erected a large steel grandstand along the first base line. The stands can ac- commodate about 800 people and this added feature helped the club to prosper. The club also erected a large score board in center field that can be seen from any part of the field. The numbers on the board are foot high.
 With the modern baseball plant and a good team that won most of its games, the club climbed steadily since it's organization in 1924 and at the present time is one of the best organized athletic clubs in tho state. In its four years of existence the baseball team has captured over 100 victories. taking into camp some of the best semi-pro mines in Con- necticut. This year the local club is entered in the Connecticut State league and has one of the strongest

Adopted after four days Of debate
that conferred largely on its bearing
upon President Coolidge, the resolu-
ton was trimmed of its paragraph
commencing ''the observance of this
precedent by the president" It was
eliminated by Senator LaFollette
when Senator Tess, republican, Ohio,
had moved to have it stricken out.
LaFollette said he had added the
paragraph ain all sincerity because

himself from the race and was OBJ
