PETITION CIRCULATED OPPOSING SUNDAY BASEBALL Residents Near Proposed Diamond Ob- ject to Noise and Confusion—State | day. Law on the Subject. The attempt to uruze for Sunday baseball in Putnam has already re- ceived a setback in the form of a tition gotten up and signed by 20 resi- dents in the vicinity of the Putnam Foundry and Machine company, near which the new grounds for the Sun- day ball were to have been located. Some of the signers declare that they are not opposed to Sunday bail in it- self, but they do object to the noise and confusion that will result near their homes if Sunday ball is permit- ted. It was last Tuesday that Manager Albert Forni said that an attempt would be launched to have Sunday ball in the city. He said that a committee had made inestigations and that the city officials, the business men and north end manufacturers were in fa- vor of the project. The committee also saw the prosecuting attorngy and he told them he would take no action if there were no complaints, but that if the complaints were made he felt obliged to act. Just what Manager Forni is intend- ing to_do in face of the opposition raised by the residents living pear the proposed new grounds is not known When told of the filing of the remon- strance he sald: “Yes, there is oppo- sitfon.” Prosecuting Attorney Jchnson con- firmed the reéport that the-petition was being circulated, but said that he could take no action on it unless a formal complaint is_registered. He explained the law and he does not see how Sunday ball can be played in the city if there is going to be the oppo- :lltk)n that seems to be already in the ir., Following is the law in Connecticut regarding amateur sports on Sunday, as found in section 2 of chapter 119, :m.cled by the legislature of 1913: “The park commissioners or park committee of any town, city or bor- ough are hereby authorized to permit proper amateur athletic sports to be engaged in between the hours of 2 o'clock and sunset on Sunday after- noons, at stated places, in one or more of the public parks belonging to said city, town or borough, subject to such rules as the respective committee or iommhsloners may adopt for the pur- ose of securing order and quiet con- duct on the part of all who shall en- gage in said sports, and also of all' persons in attendance, provided that only places shall be so designated where such sport can be engaged in without disturbing the resonable com- fort and quiet and peace of any other citigen, and provided that no game shall be permitted in any tournament, or_for any admission fee or prize.” Local lawyers are of the opinion that Sunday ball will not be permitted in Pumam this summer because of the position; moreover, four-fifths the Tesidents In the section of the pro- posed grounds claim that Sunday ball will disturb their peace and quiet.

Following is an extract from the weekly calendar of the Congregational church, given out Sunday, in which the untidiness of the main streets on Sunday mornirgs is brought to atten. tion: ‘The weekly calendar may not be the proper medium through which to ex- press an opinion or suggestion upon municipal administration, but it may not be amiss to call the attention of the people to the difference that the streets in the center present on Sun- day mornings and the other days of the week. ‘While we would not en- courage unnec work on the Sabbath, yet since cleanliness is akin to godliness, there ought to be an at- tempt at least to be as clean on God's day as on other days of the week, and the use of the sweeper on day mornings would not entall a great deal. of work and would add greatly to the comfort and sense of propriety of those who believe ibat, as far as possible, everything should be made conducive to a clean and quiét city on the Lord’s Mu. Bartlett Attends Board Meeting. A very enthusiastic and successful meeting of the executive board of the C, W. S, A, Mrs. Walter J. Bartlett Pe-lof Putnam attending, was held in Hartford the latter part of last week. Accounts were given of the activities of the women in Chicago during the convention. It was decided to hold two parades in September-to celebrate the victory of the suffrage planks in platforms "of two parties which, ‘ac- cording to the opinion of those at the meeting, shows that suffrage has made a great stride forward. ZLuncheon was served to members of the board at suffrage quarters, with . George Day in charge. Every one present felt assured that since the two great national parties have included suffrage statements in their platforms wvictory cannot be far out of sight.
