1t is interesting to note that many
leaders in the field OF baseball have
expressed the fear that baseball was
losing the interest OF the public.
New Britain bellies this statement
and We would like to ask some of
these sport pessimists to visit this
city and look the field over.
Counting up the leagues, We find
the city league with six teams play
ing once week. This gives 81 men
opportunities to play. The Industrial
league is composed of eight teams of
~ men playing. The junior city
league has six teams or 81 men in
action. The girls league will have
four teams or Sc women playing the
nation game.
Added to these are the Fraternal
Soft Ball league, the hundreds of
boys teams and the semi-pro clubs
in the city. Independent games of
all sorts are 1lourishing and to us,
the death Of interest in baseball is
sun long ways away. We have not
forgotten. either. the Fairgrounds

In another month, We all will be

Will come the indoor sport season
which was one Of the best on record
last year. The cycle turns around so
mat one after the other the games
come and pass in their season.

Stanchly defending his $74o.0oG. .o0o
naval building program. which met the
disapproval Of the House naval COM
mittee, Secretary Wilbur last night re-
iterated his stand that the proposal
was non-competitive and based on the
actual needs Of the Nations defense,
Speaking before the Mckinley Re-
publican Club here Mr. Wilbur de-
clared his proposal for construction OF
Il way vessels was presented TO Con-
e9eSs with the consent Of President
Coolidge.
We have performed our duty" he
declared. we are not called upon to
advocate this program. TO lobby for II.

We leave to Congress the duty imposed
upon that body by the Constitution of

The program was cut down by the

said. Great Britain not only submitted

the specific details of her plans for

advised that the nation with which we
expected parity in all branches Of naval
defense, intended 10 build more ships
and 8 greater tonnage than We desired
c. expected 10 build" MIR Wilbur de-
rianded. why should our announcement
that We intended 10 build fewer ships

Sldere6 as provocative?"

party will disregard other issues"
Then Tilson turned to. the religious
question, with this observations:
"It Is contended by many that If
Gov. Smith Is nominated at Houston
n religious issue will enter into the
campaign. which is. of course. the most
difficult and disturbing of all issues to
deal with. Doubtless there are bigots
among both Catholics and Protestants
whose political Judgment might be
warped by the fact that a candidate
processes one religion rather than an
other, but it is hard to believe that
with all our professions of religious
liberty and tolerance the American
people will permit such an issue TO be
controlling OH either side"
In the end. Mr.. Tilson predicted. the
Democrats will fall back on their ad-
vocacy "of destroying the protective
tariff and lowering duties to a tariff
