 MOOre's Average. Scars
 Johnny Moore's present batting spree which started when he was traded to Philadelphia some seven weeks ago has all of his local friends and admirers full of en- thusiasm to see him in then exhi- bition contest between the Phillies and an All-Star City amateur league team at Hamilton park on the 30th. In Saturdays double- header with Boston he made three two-baggers and triple to help his team win both contests Yester- day he scerod one and drive in three of Philadelphia's five runs in their 5-3 victory over the Braves. He made three singles and boosted hi sewerage to .339, gain of more than hundred points since he joined the Phillies.
 storms Damage streets
 The torrential downpour which accompanied the thunder showers on Saturday afternoon and eve ming did considerable damage in the Waterville section of the city. As usual most of the steep hill streets were badly washed out in places and vast quantities of sand stones and other matter cloggee drains and culverts. Cooke street was particularly hard bit from White street to Homer street. Con- siderable damage was done to the storm water sewer construction be- tween Bon Air and Edgehill ave- nues. Sandbags diverted much of the water from the open trench but the east gutters were badly torn out and most of the material washed into the front yard of Jo- seph Brenneis at 930 Cooke street. The damage done to his property is quite extensive both in his yard and in the cellar into which the water flowed in great quantities. The Gibbs property immediately north, also suffered seriously. Traffic was blocked off Cooke street in the affected area until q late hour yesterday.
 There was also considerable damage on Colonial avenue where another storm water sewer is be- ing constructed Much of the sur- face water was diverted over the bank onto the new park develop ment.
 During the first storm lightning struck the home of Mrs William Smith of upper Thomaston avenue. Local fire department equipment responded to an alarm but there was no blaze. All electrical equip

ment in the house was put out of commission.
 The value of the new storm wa ter sewer at the intersection of Thomaston avenue, Homer street and Huntingdon avenue is being proved by such storms as Satur- day's. It is proving entirely ade- quate and no longer does that sec- ton resemble a miniature lake fol- lowing a downpour. The residents in that neighborhood are most ap- preciative of the fact that their cellars are not flooded with each rain storm.
 WatervilIe Swamps Bethlehem
 The Waterville Metros 6ver- whelmed the Bethlehem Plough boys to the tune of 19 to 1 at Bethlehem yesterday afternoon in a Naugatuck Valley league contest. Failure to hit safely which cost them last weeks game with Wa tertown, had been definitely over- come and twenty safeties, including five doubles and pair of triples, crashed off the Waterviile bats. Blum, on the mound for Water vile, allowed but three scattered singles of the scratch variety as he passed three and famed five. A lone marker scored by Bethle- hem in the half of the final frame robber Blum of shut-out. Percy MacMullen led the Metros >attacl; with four hits in five trips to the plate.

Activities were then turned to water again where the gathering was treated to an exhibition of swimming and diving by the Naug- atuck YMCA swimming team. Great delight was evidenced by the youngsters as they watched Alex Sullivan come home the victor in the cross river swim. Sullivan is the idol of all the young swimmers as they hope to perfect his style and some day be the cross iiarbor swimming champion that he is. Seymour Squires and Al Enamait, competed against each other in a 100 yard breast stroke swim. Ena- malt, who a couple of years ago was the national junior breast stroke champion came in the win rer. Cheplick then showed the way to the finish line in a 100 yard back stroke swim against two of his teammates. Diving was next with all the different standard dives done in fine form.

 This completed the competitive sports for the day although more were scheduled. The members found the water so much fun on the warm day the usual ball games were dispensed with. After supper and more swimming, a happy, sun- burned. and tired crowd left for home about seven o'clock, voting MT and Mrs Lyman Bunnell per- feet hosts and Camp Pershing a most perfect place.
