TIP TOPS WANT TROUBLE.

The young Tip Tops hurled a chal- lenge into the Democrat office yester- day to meet any team in the city. Tire Pioneers seem to he the bunch they want to throw down for they used some pretty strong language in talking about that team. They say that the Eagles defeated the Pioneers and the Tip Tops beat the Eagles 90 that the Pioneers are not the champions of the city. They are so anxious to play that they have S5 in loose change and good ball which they will wager they can beat the Pioneers.

CITY LEAGUE MEETING.

All teams were represented In the. City Amateur league at the meeting held last evening. It was rumored yes; terday that Manager Moreau of the North Ends would protest the game won by the Washington Hills last Sun day. because of the bad decisions of umpire Klobedanz. Manager Moreau refused to make such protest how ever. saying that he did not wish to secure a. game in such manner. He believes however that his team is the best team of the two and should have that game last Sunday if the decisions had been fairly given. Manager Moreau, under the new rules this sea. son, had the right to protest and the game would have been ordered played over if he did.
 A discussion of the umpires was one of the principal features of the meet. ing and by a vote of the majority of the managers umpire Klobedanz was dropped. A new man named Murphy, who has umpired some of the games down in Naugatuck may be given 9 trial
 The question of a post season series was also discussed but no definite ac- ton was taken. One proposition was for the six teams to play series of tlve games for cup and after all expenses were paid divide up the profits with the players and the managers. This would be good chance for the public. to re- ward the players who have done such good work all season.
 The secretary. treasurer and Manag- CTS Kilmartin and Hayes were ap. pointed committee to secure cup for the winning team of the first series.
