Speaking of Sports If there is one thing New Britain needs in the line of sports equip- ment, it is an enclosed field whereon | baseball and football can be played. | The city is equipped'fairly well with baseball diamonds. It has a rather excellent track layout at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park and it also has a football field in the smae | park. However, the Memorial Field pro- Ject is one that tends to discourage promoters from tackling any ven- tures because of the fact that it is | just as easy to stay outside the fence and watch the sport going on, as it is to pay admission and sit on the bleachers. An ideal spot for an enclosed field | is the new East End baseball dia- mond. If the members of the park bhoard could see their way to erect- ing a fence high cnough to protect promoters of events at the field, there isn't any reason at all why, in the course of a comparatively short time, the erection wouldn't be paid paid for from receipts at the park. That the field would be used for enough ventures when times are | normal. goes without saving. It is probable that the Industrial Base- ball league would use it. Probably | the City league would use it. It is a certainty that football promoters would use it and. during the sum- | mer months, it is very probable that | some ambitious sport promoter would stage amateur fights there. there. It would he an ideal spot to re- introduce track and field meets to | this city which was one of the out- standing track centers in the state not so many vears ago and we figure that it would be a paying proposi- tion for all concerned Another thing too that could be! considered with regard to this park would be the installation of a grass diamond. The city has all skinned diamonds at the present time welcome innovation would be the building of a nice grass diamond at the East End. with the base paths skinned the same as they are in the league baseball parks. This would be the fastest and the best diamond | in the city | - | We don't doubt 1f baseball games such as were play- ed in both the Industrial and Sen- for City leagues during the past summer were played in a park of this kind with a nominal sum charged for admission, the fans of the city would support the projects. | At the present time, with the sys- | tem of collections used at Hill and Willow Brook parks. there is no adequate return for the money and effort expended to keep these projects going. The attraction in an enclosed field would be great enough | to bring crowds flocking to the parks at all times. We believe might well be park board these suggestions considered by the The Church strect Collegians, an aggrezation of baseball tossers would like to challenge the Pavadise Park baseball team. champion outfit of the Rotary Cl1 Boys' League. to to ide premacy.
