Representatives of the larger cities as a rule favored the bill, including all of the representat but Rep- resentative Deeming of Berlin re- tives from New Britain; mained opposed. The larger cities or towns do not wish to impose any law upon the smaller places that the latter do not like; nor do they wish to have an law upon them from the small towns. ¥What the larger towns want and need is more imposed home rule; and in return they arc willing to give tle smaller places all the home rule they desire. The claim that professional sport s a of the Sabbath while amateur sport la not, is well desecration answered by the Waterbury Repub- | lican: “A ball game by profession- als, who are financed by the spectators, does not differ from an amateur game in its status as a clean and wholesome sport undertaken to provide cgitimate entertainment for those who care to watch it. The spectators pay the players and nagers for their services simply to obtain a higher qual- ity of playing than amateur sport is able to supply. That the chiet interest of the man- agers and players is to make money does mnot alter the na- ture of their service nor its ef- fect upon the people, ‘We have already legalized imateur sports on Sunday, rec- ognizing that it is absurd to consider them a desecration of 1 Lbath.
