NO PARKING ZONE
 AROUND RESERVOIR
Water Board Wants Water Pro- / teGted From Pollution

At the request of Chairman Will liam L. Hatch of the water board, a resolution will be recommended to the common council Wednesday evening to prohibit the parking of vehicles on the roadway around Shuttle Meadow lake at any point within 100 feet of the reservoir shore.
 MT. Hatch has sent the following explanatory letter to the ordinance committee:
 The board of water commission CTS find that there is a good deal of parking on the west side of Shuttle Meadow reservoir on the road which runs close to the lake. Sometimes refuse from cars is thrown into the water of the lake, which might pol lute the water. For this reason we would request that you introduce the enclosed ordinance which was drawn by the corporation counsel, and en- deavor to have it passed.
 MT. hIi hHdHl lnlOlI IHo Hlc ILidL the charter gives the city the right to pass such an ordinance in order to protect the quality of the water in the lake"
 The ordinance he proposed Is ss follows;
 Be it ordained by the common council of the city of New Britain, in order that the purity of the pub lie water supply at Shuttle Meadow Lake, in the town of Southintgon, may be better protected and pre- served, the parking of vehicles up- on the highways contiguous to said lake within the distance of 100 feet from the shores of said lake is here by prohibited under penalty Of a fine not to exceed $25 for each offense." :"

KAPLAN-PALUSO
 BATTLE TONIGHT

 But the boy from the Mormon state is much better opponent than any kaplan has met In Waterbury or In, New Haven either. The New York athletic commission named him as one of the foremost feather. weights, but the same organization went a step further and named Kaplan the logical contender for the featherweight crown which has just been forfeited by Johnny Dundee. It will be the best and the next. best In an unfriendly city to the former --and in these towns which display animosity Kaplan has shown to be in fine form, /
 HisSstyle of attack has proved too hard to solve, his fighting ability is not to be questioned and his courage is that of the lion-hearted.
 The semi final bout also looks very good on paper. Tony Norman is con- sidered as formidable opponent for Rancho Villa, the flyweight champ. George Mclligan. who promotes the show, has made Villa an offer to meet Norman with the title involv- ed. Tonight's showing may have something to do with 1t as Emil Pa luso is keeping pace with his brother in his respective division.
 Tracey Ferguson of Northford, dons the mittens for a bout with somewhat of an unknown in the "Walloping Wop." The name sounds promising enough to assure the fans of a good eight round fight at 150 pounds.

EVERS SUGGESTS NEW BALL RULES
(Continued From Preceding Pase)

since it would mean not only the granting of first base to the bats man but also an extra base for every other runner.
 Incidentally Evers is of the coin- ion that his suggestion would tend for more evenly balanced teams and closer pennant races.
 The better teams have the smarter pitching. Often smart pitch ing means working the corners to the limit. The double penalty for a base on balls would force the pitchers to get the ball over morN, take bigger gamble with the bats man.
 There is much logic in the views of Evers. Certainly the suggestion Is no more drastic than the foul strike rule. Unquestionably it would make the intentional pass a mega tive quantity.
