The | funds will be provided by a bond is- sue of $32,500. The resolution pro- vides for purchase of the land for “park purposes,” and during the dis- cussion attention was called to the fact that 93 per cent of the land was in the town of Iast Haven. Inquiry was made as to the possibility of con- demning land, which is in the con- fines of another town. It was pointed the clty can take over property in an- other towyn for “park purposes’ and that such property, though located in another town will be tax free. Con- demnation procecdings will be insti- tuted for the acquisition of the land it is said. The attitude of the town of East Haven on the matter has not been made known. FOOTBALL PRACTICE Captain Zehrer Issues Call for Candi- dates to Mect Thursday Night at Willow Brook Park. With the fall opening of &cool looming up in the not too far off dis- tance, the High school boys arc think- ing of football and Captain Henry Zohrer has issued a call for candi- dates to meet at Willow Brook park Thursday evening at 7 o'clock for a light workout. Captain Zehrer, the brilliant back- field man, believes that the prospects for a good time this fall are better than for a number of years and is of the opinion that a little limbering up during thel ate summer will g0 far toward giving the boys a running start on the gridiron when the sca- | son opene in September.

Cleveland, Aug. The records will show that Carl Tremaine scored a one-round knockout over Jack Wolfe, rival bantam, in their recent bout here. But it wasn't Tremaine who scored | the knockout: it was a steam bath in a local gymnasium, where Wolfe went to rid himself of four pounds of weight on the day of the fight. he ordeal of reducing robbed the veteran of all his strength and, when he stepped into the ring, he wus but a flimsy hull of his real self. The first punch Tremaine landed dropped him like a log. Wolfe's stablem: went the same way seveéral years ago.
