Additionally, Frederick Ray, playing in a school yard, was struck by a baseball, fainted, but recovered with no serious injury.

New Pump Improves Darien Water Service
Darien gains improved water pressure and flow after a new automatic pump was installed in Glenbrook. The pump, located in a basement near the Darien bridge area, starts when pressure drops and runs until full capacity is restored, reducing the risk of water shortages even in droughts. The Stamford Water Company main crosses the same bridge, making the pump near source water accessible for Darien. Residents west of Glenbrook will be allowed full water use as the system stabilizes.
