CITY LEAGUE.
BROOKLYN A. (.
 WINS THE CUP
Great Interest in Yesterdays Games and Great Rejoicing in Brook
 lyn-Rorty Umpired.

The close or the City Amateur sea- son was brought to a fitting climax yesterday afternoon when the Brook lyns by winning over the North Ends and the Pastimes defeat at the hands of the Merrimacs gives the pennant once more to Manager Madden's team from across the bridge. The contests yesterday were two of the best of the season and were witnessed by large crowd, chucked full of enthusiasm.
 The Brooklyn rooters, as usual, were sitting in the eastern section of the grand stand and before the game entertained the crowd with songs. They had very good parody on "The Grand Old Rag and 1t made hit with the spectators. There was very little betting done on the final con- test as the victory of the Merrimacs had dampened the feelings of the Pastime, Hill, and North End rooters. Promptly at 3 o'clock Roaring Red" Rorty, the premier umpire of the state eague called the game. The North Ends looked as if they were out to win and might have had chance l. their first baseman Pete" Fox was not forced to retire in the third in ming by receiving one of Kelly's swift ones on the hit. The ball laid Peter low, and 1t meant his retire. ment from the game. If Manager Sullivan was after the game very much, 1t did not show it. as he had no substitutes on hand and had to go into the crowd to get another man. Dick" Phelan for the North Ends not only pitched an excellent game, but also had three corking good hits. He should have won the contest and with the proper kind of support thu game would have been his.
 Neither team did any scooping un- til the fourth, although the North Ends had several good chances. In the fourth Shugrue received free pass and went to third on Lallier's bunt, the latter stealing second. On Cronin's single to right both runners scored. After two were out Shambo fumbled Kelly's grounder, and it proved costly error as the Brooklyn pitcher tallied, when Kerry Egan misjudged Cunningham's drive which netted three bases.
 Brooklyn doubled their total in the sixth. Lallier was safe on Shambo's low throw, but died stealing. Cronin got his second single and Lachance walked. Cronin stole third and La
 chance pilfered the second bag. On a fielder's choice Cronin counted. On
 Shambo's error off Cunningham's hit, Lachance reached home and Hubert went all round on Reece's bunt which Conrad threw wild to first. Riley | ended the inning by striking out.
 The North Ends had the chance of
 their life to break the game all to
 pieces in the seventh. By few safe swats intermingled by errors of Cron-
 in, and White Riley who had gone up
 in a balloon, three runs had crossed the plate. There was two still on the
 bags and none was gone. Paddy Kane
 was at the bat and everybody but the Brooklyns were yelling for him to
 kill the ball. If Kane had made any
 kind of hit, 1t is safe to say that il
 would have been all day with the
 Brooklyns. But, alas for those who had hopes in Paddy" While at.
 tempting to bunt he popec fly to
 Lallier who lost no time in doubling
 Shambo at third. Noonan ended the
 inning by flying out. After that there was nothing to 1t, and the bal. loon went up no more. The scene wit. messed at the close of the game when
