Norwich bulletin., 1909-03-30

AT session OF the delegates repre-
venting the Rhode Island Connecticut
Baseball league. held in the Office OF
the president, DR.. John M. O'Connell.
of Westerly, II was definitely decided
that the season would open May l and
close October 80, and that q series Of
thirty games be played. The commit
tee on schedule reported progress, stat
dng that the schedule would be pre-
scented for consideration at the next
meeting.
Last season the league was composed
OF the Westerlys, Stoningtons, White
Rocks. Mystdcs Carolinas and Hope
Valleys. and all but the Mystics have
taken part in the preliminary proceed
fngs. As yet no one has been appoint
ed to succeed Roscoe Burrows as man
Rger Of the team, and the league lead
ers have no knowledge Of aystic's in
tentions with reference to remaining
In the league membership. The time
limit Tor paying the annual entrance
Zee Of $40 will expire with this month,
and II the required deposit is not made
9 vacancy viii be declared in the
league.
In that event the petition of Potter
H5all for ad1nittance to the league will
probably receive favorable considera-
ton. However, effort Is being made
20 induce Mystic to remain in the
league, for without Mystic there would
be a Lack of interest in the game be-
tween some of the other clubs, that
probably could not be supplanted by a
team representing Potter Hill. or any
other place for that matter.
With Mystic out Of the game, that
wtrong rivalry with Stonington would
not exist. and without Il there would
be falling Off in patronage that was
prominent when these two clubs met
last season. Mystic was active in the
formation Of the league, and there is
BtiH hope that that enterprising place
viii be represented in the league the
coming season.
Just where the games will be played
in Westerly is not yet decided. The
Oak street grounds. used last season.
have been encroached upon by the con-
Etruction or a granite shed, and there
IS probability Of a mill building being
constructed on Beach street grounds
for the manufacture Of narrow fab
xios.
While the Moss street grounds are
available, these are not considered
convenient Of patrons, butAnay neces-
Earily be selected Effort is being made
to secure the ball field In Riverside
park, so-called, but the objection is a
doubt as to whether the grounds could
be had for the fun season, as there is
liability in change Of ownership.
The actual construction Of the cleo.
tric light and power line to Ashaway
was begun Monday BIT yhe Westerly
Light ard Power company. The work
will be carried forward as rapidly as
possible by the companys increased
force OF worloYnen, il having been de-
cided not to have the extension made
by an outside contractor. The mate
rial Is all at hand and there will be no
delays on that account. II rs expect
ed that the service will be ready FOR
che residents Of Potter Hill and Ash
away and along the line by the middle
Of May.
Representatives of the Westerly
Light and Power company declare that
the rates offered the men who are con-
sidering establishing a silk industry IN
tho Main street mill building was
even lower than offered the same men
in New London and Norwich and that
therefore the power and light rates are
not to be considered as obstacles to To-
cation in Westerly of manufacturing

Almost as mean as the man who
would steal milk from an abandoned
baby Is the man who would steal from
such a philanthropic institution as the
Westerly public library. Aside from
