C. foot- ball team couldn't play in Staple- ton yesterdsy because of the rain, the aquad of players had a nice trip ;and many laughs. One of the best was the stunt pulled by Vic Radsewich at the South subway station on the way down.\ Vic liked to put the nickels in the slot and go through : the stfle-gates to get on the subway ‘traing, In fact, he liked it so well that 4t the South Ferry station, he even put & nickel in the siot as he was coming out. In so doing, he locked the gate and took a severe rassing all the afternoon. "{lu,mh" Gnasdow supplanted Werwalss as the sheik of the party on the train yesterday. “Jumbo” was smiling at all the girls and was getting a big laugh in return. Stapleton wag really and genuine- ly disappointed in the turn of events that sent such a poor day for the game. Manager Daniel Daley inasist- ed that the local team go to Btaple- ton next Sunday if arrangements could be made because the officials liked the efforts ef the New Britain ‘The Blues and Meriden Mohicans ‘were rained out in this section just as all other sporting events were shelved.

Smith and Hoover volced their feelings in cross-fire “wise cracks” afterhoon at the school Cy S8choonmaker, the park cop, was the only one dressed appropri- ately for the occasion. He was at- tired in rubber from head to foot including a pair of boots. We were enjoying the afternoon until someone used the back of our overcoat for a towel as we were leaving the field. Despite all the rain overhead and underfoot the New Britain team made only one fumble, that by Lan- dino after he was thrown to the ground on a hard tackle. At one time in the game the erowd sang “How Dry I Am.” New Haven Hillflouse High school team will be at Willow Brook park next Saturday. This will be New Britain’s first Triangular league New Haven played one and lost to Hartford two weeks ago. Torrington High school took its first defeat of the season from Nau- gatuck Saturday. Warren Harding which has been defeated previously by Torrington, defeated Stamford and South Man- chester and both of these are in the| class with New Britain, each having one defeat. The only undefeated team Is Naugatuck High school. BATTLE 70 SOCCER TIE ON, RAIN-S0AKED FIELD New tain and Bridgeport Celtics Engage in Most Bitter Clash of Several Years 7 Despite the heavy rain of yester-| day afternoon, the scheduled soccer game between New Dritain and the| Bridgeport Celtics was played at Willow Brook park. With the ‘weather in anything but good form, the game was one of the toughest and best seen in this section in some time. It resulted in a tie score, each team counting three times. In the first five minutes New Brit- ain score the first point of the game. Bridgeport tied it up-at the 10 minute mark. At the 256 minute turn, New Britain scored again only 1o have the Park City crew dead- lock the count again as the watch | sald 35 minutes. Just before the half closed, New Britain scored its third point and led at half time 3 to 2. It was a fierce battle in the sec- ond half. The mud-covered play- ers were playing in a frenzy. Two New Britain players were dismissed for rough playing Avhile one Bridge- port player suffered a like fate. The score remained unchanged until the last five minutes when Bridge- port scored the point that gave it a tle, It poured sl during the contest and only a scattering few spectators watched it.

Two hours of in- tenslve work formed the program for the day: Two more sessions will be held in the near future, one on some evening this week and the other next Sunday morning. All members of last year's regular team with the exception of Ruben- stein who has stated that he will play in Syracuse, were present, Those who took part in the workout included Sloman, Zakzewski, Shee- han, Leary, Holst, Restelll, Taylor, Mike Luke and Sturm. All of the regulars showed them- selves to be in excellent form for 2 hard campaign during the ceming season. Several combinations “vere used and plenty of action was shown. Mert Taylor, for years cne of the fastest stars on local courts, showed all of his old time flash. He appears to be almost a certainty to make a berth on the quintet either as & regular or as a reserve man. Mike Luke, one of the leaders in In- dustrial League circles, was another who showed up good yesterday. In all of the scriminages, he evinced plenty of pep and ability, In the next two practice sessions to be held, Manager Lanpher expects several other well known baskgtball stars to turn out. One report has it | that Zeke Chadys of the Atlas A. C. | quintet of New Haven seeks a berth | on the New Britain team.

A large number of boys from this city wil' be given tryouts, according to the decision reached yesterday amd an entirely new line of faces will probably be seen in action. Prospects for the coming season were discussed at the meeting. No action was taken definitely because the owners of the Bristol franchise are secking a place in which to lo- cate. John J.

Gatbering Calld 01 When Interst I Lacking Denouncing the republican party as a corrupt body of bigoted and hypocritical individuals, whose only aim is to satisty their selfish desires of dominating the lower classes, Jo- seph F. Bawicki, superior court judge of Cleveland, O., appealed to! about 1,200 Polish-American citizens | at a_democratic rally sponsored by | the Fifth Ward Democratic club at | Rialto hall last nig t, asking their | full support of the democratic| ticket as the only salvation of the right and liberty that the working- man is entitled to and which he | never had under any republican ad- ministration. “We Poles especially, should once for all realize that to support the republican cause is to lower our- selves deeper and deeper in the eyes of our self-pronounced friends, the | republicans,” the judge said. | “If ever the Poles were treated with such disregard as they are treated by the republicans it is now. Such audacity as shown in the pres- ent campaign, when republicans | come forth with a baliyhoo that a great republican saved the Iolish nation from starvation is only a| poor way of trying to pul' the wool | over the eyes of our average work- | ingman, who does not understand | nt‘ workings of great political | machine. Jt is high time that we shake ourselves and come out of the | dream that the republicans will ever | give us anything, as it is an utter impossibility, The republicans never gave and never will give us any- thing. | “We, to whom jt is often alluded despised * ‘foreigner’ and a | great mass of people of foreign | bloods, have suffered tremendous ince the time of Hamilton, Adams and Madison, the founders of the | party which is now known as the re- | publican party.

Jeflerson’s Visions “He foresaw that in years to come there would be an influx of many downtrodden Europeans who would seek a land of opportunity and freedom, where they could come and live a life of religious and politi- cal tolerance from which their fa- thers and grandfathers fought, and it was he who upheld the rights of fhelr just cause. . “Should we feel gratified for what the republicans and their adminis- trations did for us? Never. The greatest injustice, the greatest humiliation the ‘foreign element’ ever suffered was at the hands of the republicans when they passed the immigration law. The whole thing is preposterous in view of the facts of what service we gave country, “The rankest injustice was thrown into our faces when they cut our im- migration quota to a little.over 6,000 year, after people of our own blood with Kosciuszko and Pulaski at the head, fought and died for the liber- ation of the colonies from British oppression. Then in 1917 America went to war with Germany, the Polish element of this country contributed the largest percentage of enlisted men. And again we gave up everything for the sake of fight- ing for the rights of democracy. and our good friends came back ut us and cut our immigration quota be- cause they say we are undesirablos, But, we were desirables when it came to give up mothers, wives and children ,and fight against a com- mon enemy. We never were Amert- 1's enemy, but on the other hand fought for her rights from the time of the revolution until the last war, and yet we cannot bring our dear ones to these ores, because as our dear friends s: we are not intel- lectually up to the level of other Juropean nations. Can there be any greater injustice than this; any worse treatment than to deprive us | the liberty of bringing our families here after fighting for over 150 years for the preservation of a democratic, liberty-loving nation? Reviews Democratic Friendship “Now let's turn the picture around. Did the democratic party or its ad- ministraticns ever sponsor such a law? Not to my recojection.

But as soon ag & re- publican administration took hold of the reins of government, the project went over with ‘howling success’ to the utter disgust of the mass of peo- ple who came over from the other side’ or were children of forelgn- borneparents. And still they have the audacity to come to us during the present campaign and ask us for our votes, for our support of their cause, because they have a man Who saved Poland from starvation— yes, saved it but with money contrl- buted by every one of us and by or. der of a democratic administration, which gave him the opportunity. “On the other hand, the democra- tic party gives us a man of great ability, a man of integrity, fearless, who holds the intcrests of the peo- ple—and by people I mean you, everyday laborers—close to his heart, a man who is interested in the welfare of the commoner and who understands the crying need of a better government, a government by the people and for the people, not for a group of people.

IThere 1s no religious issue in this campaign—the real issue is whether the country shall be governed by the people or by a certain group of men.” Speaks For Nurczyk The apeaker also appealed for support of the Polish voters for Paul Nurczyk, candidate for legis- lature, asking that they cast their vote for him ‘rrespective of politi- cal views, that whomever they may vote for for president, the least they can do s to support a candidate of ! their own blood. | The meeting “was presided over by | Dr. W.
