@0y 4e VWGGs
 One of the longest sessions of tha City Amateur league held this sea- son took place last night at the St Joseph rooms and it was a warm ses- sion at that. The first business transacted was the making out of a schedule for next Sunday and this took but a minute or two of time. The following is the order of things for Sunday. At ? o'clock the Brook lyns and the Pastifnes will face each other and at o'clock the St Josephs and the North Ends will cross bats. Both these games will be played on the lower diamond. At o'clock the Merimacs and the Washington Hills Will try to do things to each other. This game will be played on the up- per diamond and both managers said last night there would be no game unless the crowds kept out of the field and allowed the f1elders n chance to play the game.
 After the schedule was made out came the subject which caused the lengthy meeting. Manager Egan of the St Joseph team entered a protest against the game of last Sunday with the Pastimes in which the latter team claimed the game by the score of 9 to $. Manager Egan insisted that the score was tie to 8, and gave the following facts to prove his side of the case: When the hour of o'clock arrived and the game had to end the full nine innings had been played. The regular scorer was Eddie Curley but he quit the game before it was over iii order to witness the game be- tween the Washington Hills and the North Endc n1l fhh Hion1n111 He left the score with the acting manager of the Pastimes. When the game was concluded, said Manager Egan there was q dispute as to the score, some claiming it was 9 to 8 and some 8 to 8. Manager Egan said that he was positive the score was s to and to prove it he asked the acting manager ofthe Pastimes what the score was. The Pastimes manager stated that it was 9 to 8, but when both he and Manager Egan glanced over the score card he had Ill his hand they found that it was to 8. Then the dispute became general and the Pastimes manager refused to show the score card to any one and held on to it tightly while Manager Egan tried to get it away from him. Then Captain Kelly of the Pastimes appeared on the scene and tore either all or a portion of the score card up. The president of the league was not shown the card although he was present and Manager Egan asked the Pastimes manager to show. it to him and let him decide what the correct score was. Then continued Manager Egan the Republican scorer was ask ed for the score and he at first said it was 8 to 8. Later he said it was 9 to 8 and later after the dispute was over he told Manager Egan that the score was to 9. With three differ ent versions from this source Mana ger Egan decided he could not take either one of the scores as correct.
 This was the testimony introduced by Manager Egan last night and Manager Kilmartin of the Pastimes to refute it, told the following; He said he was not present at the game but he learned from many sources that the score was 9 to 8. The score card which was in dispute was found later to hold the score of 9 to 8 and the acting manager made mistake when he and Manager Egan looked it over. The score of the Re publican of Monday was also put in evidence to prove that the correct score was 9 to g.
 To refute the above Manager Egan pointed out several mistakes i'll the score of the game, such as the mis- placement of the batters and the score generally. Manager Lachance of the Brooklyns also testified that. the Republican score could not be talk en as correct as in the Brooklyns game with the Merrimacs the score was wrong as it was put down in the tabulated form as 9 to 3, when it should have been to 4. Other dis crepancies which are liable to hap. pen, however, i'll scoring any game, but the managers believed the score was a tie, and five of them voted that the game should be played over, while Manager Kilmartin voted against it.
