 CITY AMATEUR LEAGUE
Players Selected and Schedule Adopt
 ed Last Night.

SIrdlguL6ueu OuL several lduSASS uAA left a few over to be fixed at the next meeting. Each of the six managers was present and it was a very lively session while it lasted. President E. L. Ialoney presided at the meeting for the first time since his election. When the adoption of the playing list of the players came up for action the fun started.
 A protest was first entered against ''Pete" Hall, who played some seasons ago on the Waterbury league team. The protest was made that Hall was a professional and under the rules adopted by the City league he was not eligible. The rule in question was re- ferred to and it was as follows:
 ''No player shall be eligible, nor shall he be allowed to play with any club in this league who has played the preyi- ous season or part. of the previous sea. son ,or who has or shall play this sea son or part of this season. with state league team recognized or known as q professional team. This does not ap- ply to a player who may be given a trial the previous season or this sea- son, provided said trial did not or shall not last longer than two weeks" Each of the managers admitted that Hall had not played in several seasons with any professional team, and under the above rule the president decided that Hall was eligible to rlay and he was awarded to the St Joseph team.
 Two more protests then came against Trumbull and Cavanaugh of the St Joseph team. In Trumbull's case it was claimed by Manager Dunphy that he played last season with the Litch- field team and was paid salary. It was also claimed that he played with the Bristol team, but whether for two weeks as the rule designated it was not known. This claim was also made ;n the Cavanaugh case that he had played with the Waterbury league team for more than two weeks. Those two cases were left in abeyance and unless evidence is introduced at the next meeting to prove them professionals they will be allowed to play
 Peter Fox resigned as umpire in the league, as he has been assigned as a player to the Jefferson team The va cancy will be filled at the next meeting of the league, which will be held next Thursday night
 It was decided also that the league would adopt button and this button will be sold to the patrons of sthe games for p cents, in order to help defray the expenses of the league. The expenses last year were over $60O ana it is expected that there will be many contributions from people interested in base ball this season, which will give Ethe league a little profit at the end of the season. A committee was also ap- pointed to select a suitable trophy for the league and report at the next meet ing.
