THE DIAMOND MERIDEN IS
 WAKING UP Old Rival of Waterbury May Be Member of the Connecticut League.

Meriden, Jan 23.-That this city is red hot for baseball was shown by the meeting held in the office of Cornelius J. Danaher last night to consider the proposition of having Meriden take over the Norwich fran chise and players. Many of the leading business men of Meriden at tended. The Norwich directors were represented and a number of propo- sitions were made by both Norwich and Meriden men. J. H. Clarkin, owner of the Hartford team, took an active part in the meeting as he con- siders that it will be better for his club to have MeriGen in the league than Norwich. He said that Norwich and New London were a drag on the league and the expenses of going and returning from those places did not leave any profits. MT Clarkin was of the opinion that with Meri den 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 travelling and meals, the managers could afford to put more money into the teams.
 Another point that MT Clarkin brought out was that the trolley facilities were better now than when Meriden was in the game and that the connections with Waterbury, Middletown, New Britain and other places would help a lot. A com mittee 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 hold ings and the committee will prob ably offer little less than that. Another committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions for the en- terprise. While MT Danaher is not to be actively interested in the game here he will probably buy few shares of stock.
 The biggest surprise of the meet ing came with the announcement that new base ball park in the cen tral part of the city was being con sidered and it was said that a con siderable sum for this part of the scheme was already promised by leading citizens. It was the opinion of the men at the meeting last light that new park easily reached would be big help towards making the game a success here.
 Manager Daniel O'Neil of the Springfield team, who is on the com mittee of the Connecticut league with Mr Clarkin to help in negotiat- ing the transfer, was unable to at tend the meeting. It was said that he got on the track of a base ball player in Montreal and had gone there to get him. The Springfield manager heretofore has confined his scouting trips 0 Torrington and Montreal is quite jump for him. Major Thomas l.. Reilly was at the meeting and he is going to be one 1 of the boomers.

The fact that the Norwich base ball franchise has been offered to Meriden at a nominal price has caused a Norwich fan, who is terri bly interested in the Norwich sitd- ation, to come forward with the sug- gestion that the S!oOpville manage ment interest some one in New Lon don. and have the team known as the Norwich-New London team and have the games divided between the two cities and on holidays play one game in each citv as formerly.
