MERIDEN FOR BASEBALL.
Norwich Management Wants $2,50O
 for Its Holdings.

That Meriden is desirous of baseball
 was shown at the meeting held at the office of c. F. Danaher, Wednesday night The Norwich directors were represented and a number of proposi- tions were made by both Norwich and Meriden men. J. H. Clarkln, owner of the Hartford team, took an active part in the meeting as he considers that it will be better for his club tc have Meriden in the league than Nor wich. He said that Norwich and New London were a drag on the league and the expense of going and return from those places did not lease any profits MT. Clarkin was of the opinion that with Meriden and New Britain in the place of Norwich and New London, the league would be as compact as any in the country and as there would be great saving in expenses for travel ing and meals, the managers could af- ford to put more money into the teams.
 Another point that MT. Clarkin brought out was that the trolley facil- ities were better now than when Mer- iden was in the game and that the con- nections with Waterbury, Middletown, New Britain and other places would help a lot. A committee was appointed to meet the Norwich management soon and make an offer for Norwich's inter- ests. It Is understood that Norwich wants $2,500 for its baseball holdings and the committee will probably offer little less than that. Another com mittee was appointed to solicit sub scriptions for .the enterprise. While MT. Danaher Is not to be actively inter- ested in the game here he will prob ably buy a few shares of stock.
 The biggest surprise of the meeting came with the announcement that a new baseball park in the central part of the city was being considered and 1t was said that considerable sum for this part of the scheme was al- ready promised by leading citizens. It was the opinion of the men at the meeting that new park easily reached would be big help toward making the bame a success here.

 The building will be 90x5O feet and the pool itself 75x40. At one end the pool will be ten feet deep and at the other end six feet deep. The wa ter Will come up almost to the floor line. Around the pool will be tiers or seats, three rows high, which will accommodate 500 spectators. Under the seats will be several rooms. One will be filled with show CT baths, one will be for the use of the swimming team and will contain the members lockers, one will be lounging room, and Max Schwartz the trainer, will have another Though not yet decided Max will probably be allowed another room to keep his al- ligator in.
 The pool will afford ample facilities to hold meeting with other colleges. and as it is one of the few in New England, will doubtless be much sought for by the swimming teams.
 The building will be connected with the gymnasium and also with the gymnasium yard. The roof will prob ably be of glass and there will he ventilation from above What will he done with the old pool has not vet been decided. but it will probably be used by the football and other athletic teams.

CRIMSON PROTESTS.

Says tho Harvard Crimson. Sup pose that Harvard is permitted to play but four or five games on each sched- ule. We do not think that this is an exaggerated statment of the contem- plated move. What, then, will be the result- We shall be at an overwhelm- ing disadvantage, we shall be unable to compete with any measure of suc- cess, and finally intercollegiate athlet- les at Harvard, the greatest binding and unifying force we have will tend to die out. This seems like a radical statment, but we cannot help feeling It's truth. Athletes themselves admit that the practice is often drudgery, and It's greatest pleasure is the feeling of strength that accompanies the gradual perfection of team play for the inter- collegiate games-the real tests. Shall we increase our periods of practice out ot all proportion to our games, or shall We organize the football team in No- vember and the baseball team com mencement week?'

READY FOR MATCH
Jimmie Watt Rolls Butch Weber in First of Series
 To night.
BOTH MEN ARE CONFIDENT
Best Thirteen Out of Twenty-fiye Games at Tuxedo Alleys-Ret-
 turn Match in Week.

Butch" Weber silently awaits the approach of Jimmie Watt, with whom he is matched to roll in a series ot the best 1S out of 25 games at Her. mann's Tuxedo alleys, this evening Watt overconfident of his ability to get back at the Independents, says wisely no more than its shame to take the money"
 Weber is not unprepared for the ar rival of this heralded crack pin artist but has daily fesorted to hours of se- cret practice, and this evening when he appears in all his splendor, and tests the metal of his contemporary there will be great surprise. George has not boasted of his ability, but has instead been keeping silent and been saving wood.
 Jimmie Watt has proved that he is in form by his scores in the State league game of Tuesday night Jimmie will be slightly handicapped in the first game in that he will be rolling in q foreign alley, while Weber will be at home.
 Considerable interest has been arous ed by this match. The New Haven fans are confident that Weber will spoil the majority of the. games for Watt tonight, while in Bridgeport they seem to feel that their Jimmie will get away with the series in this city. He will haveto work hard to ac- complish this feat.
 As to the return match which will be rolled in about week at the Park City Arcade alleys, the Weber sup porters are uneasy as to how to place their money. Watt is strong at home and threatens to scoop up the greatest part of the games It is up to Weber 10 win a big share of the seriesthis evening.
 The games tonight will start at S.15.
