Inter-Church League Buys Equipment Here A denial of the complaint ma to the Chamber of Commerce t church athletic organizations pur- chase their erquipment outside of the city instead of buying from local dealers, was made this morning by Kermit E. Parker, secretary-treas- arer of the Inter-Church league. Mr. Parker claims that practically all purchases are made in New Brit- ain. His statement follows: “Tha protest made to the Chamber of Commerce against church at} organizations is dsubly untrue 1: aimed at the Inter-Church league. It is clalmed that mohey is bel soli- cited from local merchants and t it is spent through mail order hou: In the first place, the Int mre league has never asked for funds outside of its own membership, be- ing self-supporting in every way Iurthermore, an overwhelming pro- portion of equipment purchased by the teams is bought from New B ain merchants. This may not hav been so in former years, but si the local sporting goods houses have been mecting the prices of the mail order hfuses they have been given the preference. The church league baseball equipment was purchased from a New Britain dealer, and only one team in the basketball league has purchased anything from an out- side firm.” Al e CENTRAL JR. H. S.
