Another battle between football teams over the use of the stadium at Willow Brook park, looms very closely in this city Three prospec- tive teams are in the market for exclusive use of the field and this means lot mere headaches for the members of the park board headed by Judge William F. Mangan.
 Last night in Hartford, at a meet ing of men interested in the forma- tion of state professional football league, New Britain had two repre- sentatives, Bernard (Pigeon) Conley and Edward J. Daley. Conley rep resented the Nutmeg football team which was the lone professional eleven from this city last season and Daley was spokesman for the AL New Britain team which, it is plan ned, will be reorganized this year.
 The sense of the meeting in Hart ford was that the team that would secure the use of Willow Brook park this fall would be the one to be granted a franchise in the proposed league. Both Conley and Daley stated that, regardless of the league, both would have a team in the field.
 The third member of this outfit that will be seeking the use of Will low Brook park for the fall, is the New Britain Blues. This team has already put in a bid for the field. is a semi-pro club.
 No explanation is needed of [ reason why the members of the park board are due for a series of headaches again. After straighten- ing out the tangle over the use of the Washington school baseball dia- mond, the board now has the pleas ure, doubtful though it might be, of naming the program for the use of the only football field in the city
 Judge Mangan, speaking as an individual and not as chairman of the park board, expressed the opin- ion yesterday that the team that would satisfy the football appettes of the greatest number of the fans in this city should be the one to be given the preference at the local park.

 Judge Mangan stated that, as chairman of the park board he would like to see the argument which looms on the horizon, amica- ply settled among the three man who are to have the teams hera. but, as almost anyone can see, this is nearly impossible.
 Peter Perakos, one of the men who is interested in the proposed All-New Britain football team, some time ago made an attempt 10 talk Manager Conley into an amalgama- tion of forces but he was met with refusal, he says. Ccnley objected to the large governing board which would be in charge of the team and. besides he objected to several other features.
 As has often been stated in these columns. the only solution for the revival of interest in football, pro- fessional or otherwise. in this ami all the ether cities in the state. Is state league and now that tn. promoters about the state have come 10 this conclusion themselves, il seems shame 10 think that the city cannot have a representative team without lot of pickering be- tween promoters.
 New Britain has no place for two teams. The city isn't larg. enough or ripe enough for two foot ball teams. There are numerous baseball teams in the city and the most of them are financially "in the red for this season.. The same con- dition will exist in football again if matters cannot be strengthened out.
 Hartford will have two teams, one 10 play at the Nelodrome and the other at Bulkelcy Stadium. Hartford will probably be able to support the two. New Britain can't. and from past observations, New Britain won't.
 The Tribunes of Waterbury will be entered in the state league and q team from Meridcn is expected to get in the circuit Another from Bridgeport, we understand, is in the making and all in all, the league appears to be a good prospect.
 We suggest that the men interest," cd in the teams in this city. get to- gether and then approach the park board with solution of the diff culty. It is unfair to the board to expect it's members to straighten out an argument that concerns them only as far as trying to please the majority of the fans.

MINNESOTA's WAR s~Sa
VOLUME PUBLISHED.

Announcement was recently made
by the Minnesota Historical society of
the publication of the first volume of
Minnesota in the War with Ger
many" under the joint authorship Of
Mr.. Franklin F. Holbrook and Miss
Idvia Appel. According to one re-
viewer this volume is "a revelation to
the postwar generation; a whole
series of recollections to the men who
fought and the women who waited; ;
and laborious compilation by hard
working historians
The authors have presented care
full account of the stirring scenes
enacted a little more than decade
ago, when the United States was
drawn into the World War. The ma
terial of the first chapter, which deals
with the foreshadowings of the con-
flict, is collected largely from Mime
sofa newspapers and portrays the de-
velopment of war sentiment and ideal
ism prior to the actual commencement
of hostilities. Succeeding sections
deal with the declaration Of war, it's
effect upon the people. of the state,
and the busting scenes attendant up
on recruiting, the draft, and training
operations in the region of the Twin
Cities at Fort Smelling, Dunwoody In
stitute, and the air service mechanics
school Space is also devoted in
chapters written by DR.. Wayne Stew
ems of Dartmouth College to Mime
sotanS at Camp Dodge and Camp
Cody. A final chapter follows the
careers of soldiers from the Gopher
state in the American Expeditionary
Forces in France.
The work is to be completed in a
second volume by the same authors,
which will probably be published later
In the year. This volume viii treat
mainly of the non-military phases of
the war period that part of the strug-
gle in which the citizen who stayed
at home played the chief role such
as the liberty loan and Red Gross
drives, food and fuel conservation,
and agricultural activity.
