NEW HAvEN's VIEW
 ON LEAGUE MEETING
Still Have it in for New London :,

Still Have it in for New London !,
 Although several reasons led to the brevity of the annual meeting of the Eastern Baseball association in New London, chief was the fact that so many serious business propositions were broached that were impossible of speedy solution that it w-= decided to leave them all till January. Mean while the magnates are thinking them over. One of the things made certain is that there will be a strict in~estiga- ton of the New London nine of the past season and the facts will be plac- ed at the disposal of the league the coming winter and the directors will ask whether they wish to continue un- der similar conditions another sea son.
 Belief that New London violated the salary schedule, covered play CTS, and bled every other team in the league by failure to pay travelling expenses to the corner of the state in which the Planters are located, is held by solEe of the directors, and there is some op- position to New London continuing in the organization. The question of membership is to be considered very closely by the directors bc6are the next meeting and some radical reconlmend- ations are expected in January.

 From farming sections in this and other states inquiries are constantly being received by local firms engaged in the sale of power trucks. Sales are being made and an increasing amount or the city's food product comes in constantly via the commercial vehicle route.
 Many factors have turned the farm CTS attention away from horses as the basis of his delivery system.
 In one vital respect farming diff fers from almost every other calling from which man derives revenue-the time of production cannot be control led. Food will only. grow and ripen at certain times and when its con- plete fruition has been attained will quickly disintegrate and become waste
 Therefore the farmer must have an immediate market. He cannot follow the course of the manufacturer who turns out thousands of stoves, bolts automobiles, wringers, files, etc. and then puts them in his store room until they are needed for sale.
 It is therefore vital that the farm CT have rapid and certain medium of transportation. The horse-drawn vehicle is fatally slow, and shipment by freight besides involving delays is dependent on train schedules that can not always he manoeuvred to the best interest of farm produce.
 Often the farmer is compelled to waive big profits from growing per ishable, but high-priced specialties. and devote his land to more durable staples, whic/. while they do not per init as big a margin of gain, do not have to be marketed as speedily.

With only one star pitcher on a club; possibly two, and the other of the mediocre kind, a manager would not get very far with the three pitcher system. A three day rest, increased now and then by an idle Sunday, is regarded by most managers as more conducive to good control than rests of longer duration. But the trouble has been in most in- stances that the pitchers were not good enough to keep on winning as the Boston pitchers have done.

McDonough of New Britain.
 The dispute concerns the piping of water from a spring which furnishes the water for the domestic use of Seibert. It is situated on the farm of Carlo China, which adjoins that of MT. Seibert, and from which the water has been piped to Seibert's house for many years. MT. China has several. times recently tried to shut

Arrested last night for driving a highways without displaying the proper lights, George Koplowitz of 59 Dwight street, New Britain, was dis missed in the Berlin police court this morning upon paying the costs of his trial which amounted to s3.17. Judge George Griswold presided.
 KopIowitz, who is a soda water dealer, was driving along New Britain read towards the Hardware city shortly after 9 o'clock, when placed under arrest by Constable Harry Chapman He was notified to appear in court at o'clock this morning, but 1t was 9:20 when he put in his ap- pearance, explaining to Prosecuting Attorney William H. Gibney, who reprimanded him, that his tardiness was due to the irregularity of the Berlin trolley schedule.
 Although the story Kop1owitz told the judge sounded plausible, he was. or seemed to be, so frightened that he made many statements which were very amusing. He said he went to Meriden yesterday afternoon to get some empty bottles, leaving the Silver city about 3 o'clock After getting about half way between Meriden and Berlin the tail board on his wagon dropped out and before he found a sufficient amount of iron as he said to mend it two hours elapsed. He had barely gotten under way again when one of the wheels on his wagon showed an inclination to roll off. making repairs to this part of his conveyance.
 Koplowitz could not explain how it was that it took him six hours to drive from Meriden to Berlin, ventur- ing that the repairs might possibly have taken up more time than he thought Believe me, judge" he snid. this is the first time I have been , in the court and thank you for the lesson.''
 His. case was evidently, similar to these of many other people, who have nc intentions of breaking the law, but are ignorant of the act concerning lights on spring wagons with or with out rubber tires.
 Section 2O63 of the general statutes has been amended to read as folloWs: All vehicles other than motor vehicles, shaving springs or rubber tires, while in use in the public streets and high ways except highways lighted all right by any municipality. shall show from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise. a light or lights.

the water off in the pipes, and was preparing to put in other pipes to carry it to his own house. If sthe pipes should be put in, Seibert's house would be deprived entirely of water. The injunction was given on the ground that water rights existing for many years are more powerful than the rights over the water that MT. China possesses by owning the land on which the spring is situated.
 The case will probably be brought into court for hearing in Septem- Der. Ts
 New Schedule Popular. s"<
 The changed schedule which went into effect on the Berlin -Middletown branch of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad on Monday of this week is proving very popular with the patrons, as they are now able to make connections when re- turning from New York and way sta tions on two main line trains which arrived at Berlin, under the old sched- ule, too late to make connections with the Middletown trains. ..@..
 Another Successful Social.
 Officers of the East Berlin Village Improvem society are well pleased with the patronage accorded. them last evening on the occasion of the second ice cream social given this season. The affair last night took place on the lawns of Mrs. Victor Belden and Mrs. Charles Hart and, it is estimated that more than 15O people were present, goodly sum being realized.
 There will be another ice cream social next Wednesday evening, but at this time, it is not known where it will be held. '5."
