s p e a king of Sports

A wave of indignation has spread
 all over the city following the pub
 lication yesterday of the criticism
 In Buffalo newspaper of playing
 conditions in this city. Not only Legionnaires but members of the
 general committee of citizens who
 so nobly helped entertain the vis- tors are indignant over the slur cast
 upon the fair name of the city Of
 New Britain and it's baseball ac- oommodations by Bob Stedman in the Buffalo Evening News.
 Although it is doubtful if any of- ticial action will be taken by any of the members of the committee be- cause of the fact that Stedman $ opinion is that of only one man. individual members of the commit tee are considering asking for an apology from the Buffalo Legion naires because of the impression which must have eben created in Buffalo that the Legion series was played in some kind of dump here.
 New Britain people. especially since Superintendent of Parks Clyde l Ellingwood has put in such praise worthy work on the diamonds of the city. especially those in Walnut Hill park, take a just pride in athletic | and recreation conditions here and the absolute insult offered by the | Buffalo newspaperman is galling. not to say anything about being un just.
 The wonder of the thing is this. | that with a representative of the | newspaper in question being in this i city covering the series, he had TO | criticism but only words of the highest praise of Walnut Hill park and the arrangements for the play off Still, back in Buffalo which IS nearly $50 miles away where, it was to be expected, no New Britain ties could read his column, he took a hot shot that is like a stab in the back at the city which handled the playoff for the eleventh region. in so admira ble a manner.
 If Buffalo expected to have it's Le- zion boys team play on diamonds of major league caliber they. should have expressed themselves before the playoff took place. Otherwise, the team should have held it's peace. Inquiries directed towards the New York city, have disclosed the in- formation that the Buffalo team played on diamonds that were not as good as the sandlots in this sec ton and, furthermore, the team liked it.
 It might be we'll to state here that the boys on the team and tine Ieglon men in charge of the crew, didn't have anything derogatory to say about the conditions here or the treatment accorded them as visitors and guests of the city. The man making the criticism evidently thinks, as so many other quasi big timers do, that he was visiting the sticks, in other words. he spent a few days roughing it along the stern and rock bound coasts of New England,'
 We figure that the tempest in d tea pot" occasioned by Mr. Stedman, will not cause the people of this city who rooted so Loyalty for Buffalo q eojpSt their own state champions, , to change their wishes of nothing F but good luck and victory for the r New York champs in their quest for r the national championship in LouIs- $ vile, Ky, next month.

THE GASOLINE SHOW

To quicker the eyebrows with sur prise is we'll in order when contem- plating the spirited battle being wased by the Standard Oil Com pany for the privilege Of erecting . gasoline filling station in Franklin square. It naturally was supposed, when the lunch cart substitute was heralded before the public, that tho battle was over. The Standard ia not 70 easily defeated. it seems. Man. damus proceedings to 'compe1 the issuance of . permit, heard in Superior court, may be the last throw of the dice. But We no longer are certain Of anything in this spri1htly contest.
 The contest is a good show from every angle. An unusually large number of people are vitally inter- ested in the outcome. They will never be friends to the Standard, to hear some of them talk. but that probably doesn't worry the com pany. Both stdes are fighting as if some vital principle were at stake. Per haps it is.

PETTY ANNoYANCEs

One of the petty anneyances that affltct the spring drivers is now in full swing. We refer. of course, to the motoring troubles occasioned by street and road improvements. Such work. not possible during the good old winter time. is reserved for the spring and summer. A good besin- ming has been made, with more to come.
 It has started in the city with vengeance. The opening eun in the street improvement campaign was fired when the West Main street en- trance to Walnut Hill park was torn up while n new pavement was nut down by the park board. There was general rejoicing over it. and auto- tsts probably did not mind the de- tour. Downtown has suffered addi- tional difficulties. however. through repairs made along West Main street directly off the Center. Traf- fic. guided by cops stationed along the debris for the purpose, has been damned into close quarters and downtown parkers along this route of travail have been afflicted with temporary misfortune.
 All Of which is nothing in com parison to that which will ha open to some of the country roads. state roads. and what not before the sea- son of repair is ended. Having had experience every year. however. motorists have become reconciled to the outlook. In fact. 1t Is what they want. seeing that the boys at the wheel to ! man are booster for
