CITY PARK BOARD
 TO RENT STADIUM
Petitions of City Amateur League, IRA. Circuit
 Rejected

In the belief that the high caliber of the playing field at the Muni- cipal Stadium warranted better usage than that offered by opening it's facilities to the I. R. A. Softball League and the City Amateur Base- ball League, the City Park Board yesterday voted to permit Fred Davi promoter of professional baseball, to lease the diamond for night and Sunday afternoon baseball, and re- jected the request of the other rec reational organizations for permis- sion to play at the Watertown ave- nue site.
 Thomes F. Moore, secretary of the park board, and Superintendent James J. Curtin, were named a com mittee to make arrangements with MT. Davi for the use of the stadium.
 It was pointed out by board members that the diamond at the stadium has been adjudged as up to the standards of major league parks and the question resolved itself into whether it would practicable and warranted to submit the diamond to use by softball and city amateur baseball proponents.
 MT. Curtin stated that MT. Davi has agreed to pay 10 per cent of all realized profits guaranteeing a $50 and in addition will oper- ate the concessions profits from in which in amount of 50 per cent will be returned to the city.
 MT. Moore spoke in behalf of the considerations of the City Anna teur League citing it as a recrea- tional means which should be en- couraged, but stating that in rela- ton to the use of its present play ing quarters at Hamilton park as compared to tEe stadium diamond the latter would receive too much wear when combined with it's use by the IRA.
 The motion made by William White of the board to reject the IRA's request also included the re- lection of the City Amateur Leagues request inasmuch as it was felt that the latters facilities at Hamilton Park were adequate.
 Attending the meeting were Mayor John s. Monagan, Edmund J. Daly, vice-president of the board Lewis J. Hart, Patrick s. Bergin, Andrew J. Jackson, James M. Lynch, MT. Moore, MT. Curtin and MT. White.

 Registers Opposition
Protests Legislation Rewarded as Likely to Lower
 Connecticut Pharmaceutical Standards

New Haven, April 2-(SpeciaD- ?. H. Costello of Washington, D. O., secretary of the National Associa- ton of Pharmacy, today called on State Sen. William F. Lynch of New Haven to correct an erroneous impression that the NABP favors the sub bill for House Bills 592 and 5e3, a measure which would, its op- ponents assert, lower Connecticut Pharmaceutical standards.
 Costello. in his letter to Sen. Lynch, expressed astonishment over having received mail from pharma- cists tn Connecticut stating that State Rep. Stanley Strofolino re- ported the NABP as favoring the substitute bill for House Bills 592 and 5e3.
 Said Costello: "On March g, re- ceived, for the first time, a copy of the measure from Felix Blanc (chief inspector, Conn. Board of Pharmacy commissioners) who re- quested comments from me rela- tive to 1t. My reply to Blanc on March 9 certainly cannot be con- strued as an endorsement and have had no communication with Stroffolino whatsoever.
 "AS a matter of fact my March g letter to Blanc is as constructive an analysis and criticism of the meas ure as it was possible to make"
 Costello reiterated that he wanted to correct "any misrepresentation of my attitude or the attitude of the NABP which has been made to influence favorable action on the measure"
 Sen. Lynch, 8 pharmacist him. self. is clerk of the State Legisla- tive Committee of Licensed Occu- pations.
 In writing Blanc originally on March g, Costello said he was strongly of the opinion that it is desirable ot abolish the examina- tiOn and licensing of any more as- sistant pharmacists and I am also convinced that in SO doing each state must safeguard existing stan- dards and qualifications fo- prac- tice as far as possible or pay d severe penalty later for their lack Of vigilance and fortitude."
 Opposition to the sub bill tossed into the house hopper by Rep. Strof1olino has been mounting steadily throughout Connections, with outstanding physicians, den- tistS, nurses, pharmacists, health off,
