by Jupiter Pluvius, With today'a sunshine, it is hoped that the game will take place with no further mis- understanding such as have marred 1 the activities of the Legion league in the past.
 Police Uncover Conditions That it is sometimes necessary for this town to bring in outside aid in /, the uncovering of deplorable condi- tions was made evident last evening when the New Britain police found unbelievable conditions existing at ths Berlin underpass pond" yes terday afternoon as they were travelling to Meriden to meet the Silver City police baseball team. Eensington was nearly the host of the Hardware City "bobbies' as car after car of baseball players swished through the lagoon under the railroad tracks. Water depths at that time were estimated at, three feet by the sleuths from New Brit ain and while Kensingtonians are suspicious that this might have been an exaggeration they back up the disclosures of the New Britain force in their general expressions of |amazement.
 Whether the discovery of the water way under the bridge by the police had any bearing on the mat ter or not, workmen were at the spot early this morning and. form- ing a bucket brigade, succeeded in lowering the water level consider ably.
 Marriage License Joseph J. Cavallo of North Haven and Miss Mary Angeline Brosso of kensington have made application for a marriage license to Town Clerk Arthur l.. Woodruff.
