Complain of Water
{'ooo nj it,te
ing the past few days that the
water furnished by the Plalnville
Water Co. is impure and that it is
making small children ill. Water
company officials when questioned.
stated that the company is still
using the water from the main pipe
lines of New Britain and that there
is no impurity in the pipes between
the turmoil and the faucets. No
similar complaints have been made
In New Britain. although the same
water is being used there. and the
officials are inclined not to believe
the water is responsible for the ills
CT the children. They feel that the
changea bic weather is more likely
the source.
Derazio Loses More Ground
Mundy Derazio. Trumbull Electric
backstop. lost another so points of
his batting average Thursday night
when he went htless for the second
successive week. but the AIS per-
centage which he retains is still
enough to give him a margin over
other batters in the Industrial
baseball league. The theoretical
leader is now Palon of the Business
Men. who hit for 500 in one game.
but this can not be considered in de-
Gliding the question of supremacy.
Duffy Gnazzo of the Peck Spring
team also fell back. whiting three
times and sliding into seventh place.
Slim of the Standard Steel has come
up behind Derazio, while Derby, De-
razio's teammate. has pounded his
way to 407 and is another aspirant
for honors. The schedule has now
been completed, and the batting
cham pionship will not be decided
until the postponed games are play
ed off.
