WILL HAVE TO LAY
new WATER PIPES
Pressure From the New
WeIdin Farm Reservoir
Causes Breaks

Chief Engineer Theodore Leisen of
the Water Department reported to the
Board of Water Commissioners yes
terday afternoon that the water from
the William n. Porter reservoir at the
Weldin farm had been turned into the
high service on last Thursday and was
giving splendid service. The old Rod
ney street reservoir was abandoned at
the same time.
The new system win maintain the
water IN the Rockford water tower at
IA level Of about 10 feet. It will not
be necessary to run the pumps on tho
tower mains continuously as heretofore.
II viii not be necessary to install a
tower pump Immediately. but when it
is purchased it may be installed in the
basement of the Rockford water tower.
The water from the system will now
reach to the top OF any building in the
city and Will be much more efficient
than heretofore.
New Pipe to Be Needed.
Employees of the department are ex-
periencing much trouble as a result OF
the new high water pressure, which
was too much for some Of the old mains
and they were damaged. Wori1men have
been busy repairing the leaks Il will
eventually necessitate the installation
OF much new water pipe in sections OF
the city, where the high pressure SER
vice is 10 be used For this many thou
sand feet Of new mains will be required
The new service will give excellent
results In the congested business dis
trict Of the city. where an efficient fire
service is needed. For instance, at Fifth
and Market streets there will be a pres
sure Of 80 pounds. A plug stream
would be thrown many feet into the
air without the assistance OF a fire
engine

The department is also suffering
much damage TO water pipes through
electrolysis which causes leaks in the
pipes. A piece OF pipe so effected. was
shown to members of the board yester-
day afternoon and it had a hole eaten
through it an inch in diameter
The commissioners decided to show
the sample to the railway compan,
from the lines OF which the electricit,
is believed TO be escaping. The bill FOL

THE DIAMOND
MERIDEN IN
 THE LEAGUE
About Settled That Norwich Will Be Transferred to That City
 Other News. u.

At the, recent meeting of the direct ore of the Connecticut league of base ball clubs, J. H. Clarkin Of Hartford, c. J. Danaher of New Haven ana Daniel O'NeiI of Springfield were ap- pointed committee to dispose of the Norwich baseball franchise and team ill manner that would be satisfactory to the Norwich owners. Only q rev outside of the directors knew of thls action. Before the meeting it was re- ported that the Norwich team was likely to go to Meriden and this in formation was hailed in the quarters of the ill informed as dope
 A call was issued yesterday for the committee to meet ill the office of C.. J. Danaher in Meriden next Wednes- day evening. Representatives of the Norwich club will be there and all Meriden people who are anxious to have a good team there this season are invited to be present. The com mittee has canvassed the situation and they know that it would be sui cidal for the league to have a team in Norwich, with New London elim- mated. If the team is transferred to Merlden, the management will have the support of the distinguished mayor of the city, Tom Reilly.
 The owners of the Norwich baseball club and franchise have made q pro- position to Meriden people in regard to the location of the Norwich club, than which there is no better in the Connecticut league, in Meriden the coming season.
 The Norwich baseball men realize as well as the managers of the other clubs in the league that there is little chance of club succeeding in Nor wich this year on account of the shift of the New London club to New Brit ain.
 Little interest would they feel, be taken in the game, isolated as Nor wich would be without New London, and the trips to Norwich of the other clubs would he very expensive.
 The Norwich owners, as well as the other club owners believe that the best place for the team to locate is Meri- den in the heart of the circuit and which all think is ready for baseball after a two years rest.
 The Norwich owners believe also that there would be a great deal more interest in the team if the Meriden people became associated in the direc- tion of 1t.
 They are perfectly willing to sell out or to join with Meriden men in running the team, and the last named proposition is the one that now meets with favor among those who have been approached on the matter.
 If the team goes to Meriden all of the players who made Norwich so strong last year will come with it, with the exception of Ira Plank, who has been drafted by the New York Ameri- cans. "-..'.
 The roster of the Norwich club in cludes Bridges and Mccarthy, catch CTS: Halligan. Tuckey and Duff pitch CTS; Pastor. sh0rtstop; Accorsini. first base; Soffel, second base; Perkins, third base; Cote, Golden and Duffy, outfielders.

They broke even in the first period and iu the second the Ivys went into the lead and held it for sometime. The Parks finally tied the score in the same per- iod and before it closed ran one ahead. They began the third by talk ing another goal making the score 4 to 2 in favor of the Parks. The Ivys now tried hard and scored one them selves, while their rooters shouted to them to get another and make a ti' of 1t. The Parks played strong de- fensive and offensive game and smash ed in one more, clinching the game for a certainty. The lineup and summary:
