Sports Editor:
out at Hamilton Park last Sunday afternoon
Uapire AL Kelie's sharp remarks such as: Make 1t
sncppyl Shake it up boys! Get batter up there! BE-
One very unfortunately avere Va the game aOhich
commenced at taoo o'clock did not terminate until four
thirty Around the section aohere avas located heard

marks of this type in positive agreement Nth the
complrunts and aUod like to suggest that the matter
of an earlier be presented to the officials of the
league for earnest concentration AoU me to also sug-
rest that the second be started at three fortve

Delaney alleged that IN the TWO
games to date prejudice has been
shown several members OF the
team who should not be In the
lineup and charged that there were
too many heads running the team.
He claimed that OF the two teams,
the SQUARES and Recreationg, his
team had the best following and
asked league ofiicials to settle the
wrangle.
Kiersted Comes Back
Robert Kiersted, manager OF the
Recreations last year, said It was
not q matter for the league to de-
eide asthe franchise belongs to the
Recreations alone. He claimed
that Of the nine ball players with
the Squares Recs, he secured seven,
including Frankie Edmonds, the
.colored Naugatuck twirler.
Compromise Reached
Finally after a series OF rebuttals
Kiersted, Trask and Delaney, at
the suggestion Of President George
Casey to "get together" for the
benefit Of the league decided to
take another shot as q unit and
continue as is. Trasls told the
league ofi1cials he would have start
ed Edmcnds on the mound against
the Tommies Sunday, but used
George Blinn, whom the Squares
secured at the last minute, just to
keep harmony among the ranks.
