The Stanley Rule & Level base ball team went to Bridgeport Sat urday to play the American Tube & Stamping Go. team at Seaside Park. Rain stopped the game in the fourth inning with the Rulers in the lead, to 0. As it continued to rain all day, it was found impossible to play the game out.
 Because of the rain and the dark outlook yesterday morning. only q few candidates showed up for the scheduled pr-ctice of the New Brit ain Blues football team at Willow Brook park. The team will practice Willow Brook park and all players and candidates are asked to be on hand.
 According to the report of the managers in charge of the baseball game played for the benefit of Henry Laskowski, injured boy, at Willow Brook park yesterday, the gate receipts were disappointing, with the result that there won't be much money poured into the fund teshelp him out in the expenses oc- cured. The crowd was slim but the weather had lots to do with the affair.
 Arrangements for a baseball game between the P. & F. Corbin team and the Stanley Rule & Level crew at Walnut Hill park tomorrow night. have been abandoned as a result os the refusal of the Corbin players to entertain the idea.
 Manager Joe Jackson was inter viewed with regard to the matter and he said that he would consult the members of his team. AS the game would be an extra encounter without any bearing on either the local situation or the state cham pionship race, the players would necessarily have to agree to play. Their answer was definite refusal to play.
 The game would have meant nothing one way or the other. It might have served for a good work out for the Corbin team in the state series and would certainly have sat- isfed the Rulers who ,have been clamoring for a contest ever since the Corbin team won it's last game with them through Jaglowski's fuke home run.
 Whether roller hockey will be played in this city this year or not depends a great deal on the attitude of the fans towards the game. Own CT Jack Arute, back Saturday from a road construction job in Massa- chusetts, has excellent prospects Of securing a hall other than the Stan- ley Arena.
 He would like the roller polo fans of the city to express themselves through the medium of the Herald with regard to the game. Fans wanting the game can either write or call in to the sports editor stat ing, whether they would like the garfie played here again this season Otherwise, the franchise may be abandoned.
 Owner Arute feels determined that he will keep the game here if he gets any kind of support from the public.
 In view of the industrial depres- sion, the lack of money and the general hard times, he has about decided to lower the prices at the box office to 35 cents for general admission and 50 cents for reserved seats. This is only tentative idea of his but will in all probability be put into effect
 Expenses connected with the game have been lowered all along the line. The players salaries have been limited and in general expenses will be curtailed wherever possible. In view of this fact, Owner Arute feels that he should do his part 10 make it possible for the fans of the city to see the games in this city, if he decides to go through with the present season.
 We would certainly like to sea the game kept in this city and we know of good number of fans here who have expressed themselves strongly on the subject within the past week. We would suggest that every polo fan in the city write in and express their opinion on wheth- CT the game should remain here or not.
 Either the state armory or the Tabs hall or probably both will be the scene of the greater part of the sports features to be staged here this winter. One good thing about the city is that there is no lack of halls in which the sports can be played.
 At the present time, it hasn't been decided whether one hall or the other will be selected. This will probably be decided upon in the very near future.
