Suspensions Will Be Noted Out to Players Unless They Act Gen.

Rowdyism was the question most discussed at the meeting of the man. agers of the City Amateur league last evening and there will be no more of it, by either the players or the spec tators. Several complaints were made to the president yesterday and those complaints were backed up by sub stantial evidence. All the managers were instructed last nigh. to inform their players that hereafter any in- sulting language used to the umpire. any vulgar or dirty talk used, so that it can be heard on the granl stand or on the blcachers will be punished by the suspension Sastne uliltyll lllay- CTS. The president told the managers in pretty plain language that the games must be conducted gentleman ly or some of the hines will be de- pleted in numbers. It is up to the players themselves to carry this thing through, but just as sure az any play SO far forgets himself as to mse in- decent or Insulting language, so that 1t attracts the attention of the spec tators. just so sure will that player be put out of the game and perhaps for the rest of tnc season. Rowdyism in any form will not be tolerated auI the umpire will Le protected s.t all times and must be respected by every player in the league.
 Some of the spectators came in too for a scoring and hereafter not one person, aside from the members of the two teams competing, the plAn- agers of those teams, the policemen and the umpire will be allowed in- side the ropes. If spectators congre- gate at the players benches they will be requested to get outside by the officers and If they then refuse the umpire can penalize the team where such spectators congregate. Objec- tionable characters are not wanted at the games either and if any should get in hereafter. and complaint should be made about them by re- spectable people, they will not be per mitted 10 enter the grounds at any future games. They must keep off the side lines and if they wish to coach they can do so in the proper places outside the ropes. Filthy ana obscene talk will not be allowed by the spectators either and all the gen., tIemen who are present are instruct ed to enter complaints of any such offender and he will be barred from the grounds. The games can be en- loved by ell if everything Is conduct ed in a respectable and gentlemanly manner and that Is the way the games win be conducted hereafter.
 The committee appointed to look up a cup to be presented to the win- ming team at the end of the year brought some very welcome news to the managers. This committee was composed of Managers Sullivan of the North Ends and Ghept Of the Merrfmacs. They reported George Strobel of the Lake. Strobel company would make the league a present Of a $50 cup and they could make their own selection from a, whole lot of samples The committee was instruct cd to secure the cup as soon as pos sible and have it placed on exhibi- tion.
