Willie Darcy Beats
' Rosenberg Easily
\Villie Darcy drew a step nearer to
the flyweight championship by com-
pletely 'outclasslng Charley (Phil)
Rosenberg in the star bout oi! twelve
rounds at the Harlem-Fairmount A.
0.. New York. last night.“ From the
beginning it was apparent that Darcy
knew too much for his adversary. and
it was only a. matter of whether
Rosenberg would be able to go the
limit with Willie. The fact that he
was able to weather the storm in sev-
eral rounds spoke volumes for Rosen-
berg's gameness and ability'to take
punishment. _
Several times Darcy staggered Ros-
enberg with blows that would have
spelled curtains for a. less skiliul or
game battler. but Phil refused to drop
and kept fighting back as well as he
was able. ‘
Jack Cameron and Tom Fahy, joint
managers oi? Darcy. declared after the
contest that they would post a chal-
llcnge [or a battle with the ,winncr of
the Villa-Genaro bout with the Boxing
Commission next week. Darcy's next
contest is scheduled to be held at the
new Melba A. C., when he meets Man-
nic \Vexler in a ten-round affair at the
Friday night.

ries with the Red Men of Norwalk,

A series is also in the works with,
the Big Five of New Canaan, of which
Manager Don Taylor will announce
full particulars at a. later date. Mr.
Taylor is also seeking to get home and

of the Guards this season will be
found Dave Carlson and Ken Scofield

the phenomenal work of Harry Quinn.

In April _1918, engineers of The New Englandlnmflance Exchange made a complete re-
port onjthe fire protection system provtded for this district. Their findings, in brief, were
to the effect that the protection prov1ded was inadequate for the size and character of the
property involved, Numerous recommendations for improvements were made, but it is said
The following digest of the engineer’s report applies particularly to South Norwalk.
The report, however, covers Not-walk proper, Ens Nor-walls, and South Norwalk, these dis.
tricts being well separated. Norwalk proper is ed by one.water_supply system, while
South Norwdlkand East Norsfiaik are served :by another. Each of the three districts has its -
own independent fire alarm system, but the fire department organization covers all three.
. Injthe principal mercantile district in South' Norwalk, the average pressure on water
mains was 56.25 lbs, with a total variation of 8 lbs. With 1,500 gallons flowing from hy-
drants the pressure was 19.5 lbs. at Washington Street and with 1730 gallons flowing on
North Mam street the pressure Was 22.5 lbs. Test results in general indicated that only two
hose streams of value could be obtained. Increases in the reservoir capacity and size of
mali:ls,das well as improvements in arrangement of gate valves, and hydrants were recom-
men e . -_
The fire department has no pumping engine. There are four hOse companies, and two
ladder truck's. There is a full paid chief, assistant'ihief and 9 full paid men, and 570 volun-
teers. It was recommended that the full paid force be increased to 33 men, and that pump-
mg epgiues be provided at both Norwalk and South Nor-walk. and that upmerous other im-
provements m the equpiment and organization be made. . .
The fire alarm system was criticised and various radical improvements suggested.
The con‘rlagration hazard. was considered as notably present in part of five blocks, on
Wafslfington, South Mam and North Main streets and in regard to this, report reads in part
as o ows: ‘”“‘ ‘ ' ' '
r
The water supply is inadequate both in quantity and pressure. The fire department
is weak in permanent men and engine capacity, and the fire alarm system is unreliable due
to lack of separate alarm circuits, no connection withother fire department houses (Nor-walk
and East Net-walk) and location of aerial wires. Overhead .ObstructiOn is "one. The large
proportion of frame construction and structural weakness of the remind make serious
group fires probableflin all pq-ts of the district, although a fire once beyond the control of
the weakened fire department andwater system could readily spread across the narrow
streets and 'invplve a large part of the district and adjacent territory. ‘
