The Hudson Amateur League Men Fall
Out Like schoolboys,
The Hudson County Amateur Baseball
League has disbanded. All the plans,
preparations and schemes have fallen to
the ground, and all because the different
clubs representatives could not agree.
The meeting, to which great interest
attached. was held at the Greenville Y.
NJ. G. A. rooms last evening. There were
present three delegates from each club,
the Iroquois, Crawling, Y. NJ c. A., and
Puritan Immediately after the reading
of the minutes Secretary Langey, read a
communication from the Rensington A. G.
Withdrawing their application, and he
also announced that the Jersey City
Y, NJ. c. A. had signified their intention
of joining and would send committee
no to last evenings meeting. The com
mnnication was received, but the verbal
application of the J. G. Y, M. G. A. was
barely noticed owing TO their failure to be
represented by committee. At the out
set, the clouds could be seen gathering
and they grew denser until the storm
burst and the league disbanded.
The trouble began when the Puritans
moved that the League be composed of
four CLUBS. The Y. M. G. A. showed op-
position but the motion was passed. The
adoption of the constitution was next in
order, and clause by clause it was dis
cussed. just previous to the adoption
Mr.. Day, of the Iroquois, moved that, as a
guarantee of good faith, representatives
of each club sign the constitution when
adopted. The motion WIS carried, and on
motion of MIR. Carey the foregoing motion
was embraced in the constitution as q
concluding clause.
A new INTEREST developed at this juno
ture, and the Y. NJ c. A. boys claimed
that they were not employed to sign any
fhirn ThaU olu that
they would not sign it, and as they voted
against the adoption of the motion the
other delegates plainly saw that discord
would be the result. Mr.. Day then arose,
and after an interesting speech moved
that the League be dishanded. The mo-
tion was seconded and carried, the Iro-
quois, Graylings and the Puritans favor
ing the motion, and The Y. M. G. IS not
voting at all
Very few anticipated such move, but
the general opinion was that it was the
only proper course to pursue. 1t was
deemed better to have no league at all
than to have continual discord and ir-
ruptions between the members.
The Y. Nd. g. A. Athletic Club will now
probably join the Y. NJ G. A. State
Leage
