BASEBALL DEPRESSION

An item in the paper the other day listed the liabilities and assets of the Bridgeport baseball club of the Eastern league. They were enough to make any rabid baseball fan weep, to wit: Liabilities. s5,,- 1S7.65; assets. $S5.70.
 Coolidge prosperity in the base ball profession seems 10 be of q peculiar brand. If the Bridgeport club were the only club troubled with an income of ciphcrs that would prove little or nothing: but it
 is a matter of common knowledge that not club in the Eastern league has been earning money: most of them have been losing money. The Hartford team is said to lc the only one in the league doing mofe than keeping the rcd off the books. Going further one finds that the entire baseball profession is faced with somewhat similar financial
 irritation. In the American league. for instance, it is taken for granted almost everywhere that the New York Yankec management has been the only good money maker on the circuit; that some of the other club owners have lost money; others have barely "broken even"
 Yet there seem 10 he as many peo- pie interested in baseball as ever be fore. The fact that not enough of the public goes through the turnstiles to pay the piper properly must mean that large percentage of the sports page readers arc. interested in the games without ever going near q bah park.
 Professional baseball is also dis covering that sky -rocketns expenses do not necessarily imply increased attendance in. oportion. and that for five days of the week il is inn possible for many fans 10 sec game even if they desired 10 do so Not one in ten can get off of an afternoon on Monday, Tuesday. We'd nesday, Thursday or Friday to yell at q ball game. Most of them, when they do so, have to lose time from their pay envelopes assuming that most fans draw wages and not salaries, which probably is correct. To attend a game on these days, therefore, not only costs them the price of admission but half days pay to boot. On Saturday and Sun day the situation is different. and on these days attendance is always good Eut ball team with sky rocket tx- penses cannot earn enough on only two days of tbc week 10 pay for the team all week.
 If ball teams continuo 10 go bank rnpi it would appear likely that many minor leagues Win degenerate into weekend play only. doing their stuff on the two days when most of tn" public has time 10 attend

Raps school Authorities

40R0 6A1bI1Df ASthSuNbtsC0 It seems to me that the citizens of the City of New Britain have nc say whatsoever. according to school authorities in your paper last eve ming. It they think they are so im- portant let them resign. They can for all care. We have g great many more citizens in the city that can fill the places far better than they can.
 In the front page of your paper last evening read where the school authorities object to having the au- thorities put up our voting ma chimes for the election on next Tues day because they will bother school sessions.
 want to let the authorities know right now that they arc not pulling the wool over the eyes of the citi- zens of our city. If they think they are they are Sarly mistaken. The school authorities want to have in their minds that they are the ser wants of the citizens and have to dc as the people of the city want to have them do and not buck up against them.
 If the voting machines were or dered up they nave no right to stop the mechanics putting them up. We have a large number of new voters enrolled by the registrars. They have to he instructed how to use these machines before election day. Do the school authorities think new voters could hire out to factory and run big press. or machine in which they never had any eNper- fence: If they do, don't know what there thinking of. They have plenty of noise in Me gyms and au- ditoriums during their school ses- sions. They need not think that they are going to deprive the citizens of their rights of voting. We want the machines in the schools and we are going to have them there whether they like it or not.
 A few weeks ago. ] read in your paper where the school board wants an addition built onto the Senior high school. We have in every city school today big auditorium why not turn these gyms and auditori,lms itho class rooms and a new addition tc the high school will not be need- cd for some time to come.
 In the Nathan Hale school today there arc class rooms in the cellar while upstairs there is a big au- ditoriuIn that could be turned into at least (D four class rooms relicv- ing this condition. I wish the pco- pie of our city would go mp there and look at the conditions that exist When you get into the so-callcd class rooms in tho cellar all you can see is a blackboard hung up on the bare foundation. water pipes are just as they were installed, no paint on them.
 The foundation is Of stone white washed over. The floor is of con- crete. It is an outrage 10 have any body sit in a cold damp cellar even if there is heat in it. This is only one condition that exists in our city.

I To the Editor:

There is,. strictly speaking. no such thing as an American language. we speak Americanized English in the United States. We have adopted. from several languages, many words which might not be understood by an Euglishman, having no place in his vocabulary. Such words as lariat. mesa. pinto, wigwam. etc, have a definite place in the American dic- tionary. They are corruptions of Span and Indian words. common in the west. We shall not try and trace the origin of such words as "jitney' bus. flivver. and various other Americanisms, slang now per- haps, but perfectly good words in the making. In our melting pot we have borrowed apt words from many tongues. which the English man could not understand.
 If there is any satisfaction to our English language is not a basic lan- guage, he may take it. Greek and Latin form the roots from which most words have evolved and the Englishman, further back than we, once corrupted various tongues to suit his own ends, literally manufac- turing language. This process is go- ing on even now in England, words are being made, but we are manu- featuring them much faster, having a creator field to draw from than the English Sometimes it so hap pens that we adopt the same word, at nearly the same time, as if by common consent, witness "rhauf- feur," a French word. but good Eng fish or Amcrican.-Ed.
