ITY LEAGUE { TO OPEN SEASON
First Games Will be Play- ed Next Sunday-Eve Arrangement Made to Preserve Order-NOtes.

A meeting of the City Amateur league was held last evening and 1t aMas decided to open the season next kSunday afternoon at the Waterbury Driving park. The plans of the league this year will be conducted much more fstrict than ever before. Every man. ager and officer and every member or all the six teams will act as officials to keep order. before, during and after the games. There will be police ot1- }cers there, too, to see that good order jis maintained. True, there does not seem to be much necessity for all this diligence because there was little if |any2 trouble last season. Everything lin 6onnection with baseball was con- duGted in an orderly manner. There we're no fights or quarrels because the |ruHes of the league are very stringent |ont this point. The spectators realiZ- led also that any trouble would only it{nd to stop baseball and they acquit- stad themselves accordingly. It is inn sometimes to prevent the kHounger element from becoming bols-
 ferrous. This would happen at Sun
 lay school picnic just as well as at Sunday baseball. Every effort will be made to keep good order and there Is no doubt but what that can be ac- eonnplished.
 The schedule as arranged for next Sunday is as follows: The first game win be called at 2 o'clock and the
 teams that will cross bats will be the
 Washington Hills and the St Joseph s..
 The second game will be called at 4 Ro'clock and the Brook1yns and the North Ends will face each other. Bernard F. Burke will act as umpire of both games. It will be the opening day for the season and it is expected big crowd will be present.

 Bill Luby practically saved the game for Springfield Dan O'Neill sent out one of his untried pitchers. Jake Hess, and the young man shut the Hartfords out for six innings. Springfield had gathered in three runs PdHring that time and O'NeiI was much pleased with his find. Hartford tied the score in the seventh, and after

At Bridgeport.

Bridgeport, May 4.--Runs and er- TOTS were plentiful at Newtield park yesterday afternoon, but as the New London team made more errors than Bridgeport, and as Bridgeport made twice as many runs as did New Lon- don, the anguish was on the side or the visitors. That is how Bridgeport won the game from the WhalerS by the score of 10 to 5. The feature of the game yesterday was that the Bridgeport hitters appeared to have their eyes on the ball and to swing their ash sticks with truer aim. 'sPop' Foster smashed the horsehide for a three bagger in the first inning and hit safely twice afterwards. The mighty Ladd sent out three singles, and Beaumont made a two bagger, which was his first hit of the season, demonstrating that he, too, is begin ming to get there. 1t gave the 200 enthuiasts great delight to have the honor of knocking pitcher out of the box, for that is what happened to Mclaughlin.
 A young man named Killeen was Tn the box for Bridgeport. He is a new find by Manager O'Rourke, and he comes from up the Hudson river way. It looks as if he would stay. The gentlemen from New London found him for only six hits, three of which were by Ramon, who scored two of the runs for the visitors. The score:
