 Manager Michael Madden of the Brooklyn Athletic club baseball team, is anxiously awaiting the opening of the City Amateur league, as he and his players are confident that the Brooklyns will start off with rush and make bid for the pennant from the beginning. The latest player sigl- ed by the E. A. c. manager is George Stokes, who was claimed by several teams Stokes has declared that he will be member of the Brooklyn nine and judging from reports he should make good. The members of the team are getting in trim at the Brooklyn Athletic club and when the season opens they will undoubtedly be in good shape.
 A practice that should be elimin- ated in this section is that of allow ing young fellows to jump oft and on trolley cars. They give conductors and motormen considerable trouble, and at the same time endangeT their own lives. This morning a youth nop- ped on the end of the car and was hanging on the fender until he was spied by the conductor. When the UT. chin saw the conductor coming his way he jumped off and ran to one side directly in the path of horse which was travelling a fair gait. II was only by the prompt work of the driver who pulled the horse up and to one side that the young fellow was uninjured. Incidents of this kind happen daily and more attention should be given to the matter before someone is seriously injured.
 A light has finally been placed or Bank street near the American Ring company's factory and the residents of this section will no longer buml one another as they pass this spot or a dark night. For several years there has been need of light at this poin1 and although there was much sai;
 about it nothing definite was done un l til the matter was brought to the at tention of the improvement commit tee through these columns. The com
 mittee immediately put in a petito, for light at this point and the board of public works did the rest. Severn new lights have been placed in thi' locality recently because of the ef forts of the committee and since tht members have done such good worl
 already they should form q permanen
 organization to bring up such natter whenever they see fit.
