Boys in the northern section of the city, and particularly those residing on Ingraham hill and vicinity, are anxiously awaiting the action of the playgrounds commission in the hope that a suitabbe spot will be furnished where they can play baseball. Up to a short time ago, the youths were permitted to use a vacant lot Farmington avenue but recently this privilege was denied them. They then proceeded to the ballground located alongside the John Jennings school on Burlington avenue but one or two residents of that neighborhood ob- jected to the boys plaving baseball on Sunday with the result that the prayer and sermon by Rev.

The lo- cals won their first game of the sea- son last week by swamping the New Britain State Trade school and hope to continue their winning ways to- day. sport was prohibited by the school committee on the Sabbath. The next location selected by the youths was a vacant lot on Lewis street. The playing space at this point was too rarrow and many balls were lost when they were knocked into neigh- boring yards. As a result, the boys started to play ball in the streets and this time residents complained to police headquarters. A number of the boys were brought before the prosecuting attorney and warned of the hazards involved in highways for a playground and the practice was ordered discontinued. In the grammar schools of the city, all youngsters are obliged to take part in the athletic drills and as a result the boyvs leave school in ex- cellent physical condition. Two baseball leagues, comprised of gram- mar school teams, play a schedule of games each season and the youths are encouraged in their efforts not only by the faculty but by the stu- dent body and their own parents. The need of additional playground facilities in the city has been stress- ed by the members of the American Leglon and the playgrounds commis- sion, recently appointed, is now mak- ing a study of the problem. In ad- dition to a playground in the north- ern part of the city, it is probable that additional playground centers will be established in both East Bristol and Forestville. The play- ground at Rockwell park is patron- ized by children from all parts of the city, but with the rapid increase in population, additional facilities are required. Until such time as the playgrounds are furnished, baseball activities on week-ends at the north side will be prohibited.
