CITY LEAGUE MEETING.

The manager of the City Amateur league held an interesting meeting last night In the St Joseph's rooms and transacted much business. It was de- cided to play but two games each Sum day hereafter and two teams will lay idle. The two umpires who have been hired will still be retained and each one will have a chance at the umpir- ing. Next Sunday William Lawlor will ofYiciate and the following Sunday Waite of NauRatuck will handle the indicator The managers were notified last night that no Sunday games would be allowed on the Driving park and this settled the question of an- other grounds for the present at least
 The schedule for next Sunday will be the Brooklyns and Pastimes at two o'clock. and tho Washington Hills and the North Ends at four o'clock. The game played by the Hills and the St Josephs on last Sunday cannot stand as a game This matter was to have been brought up last night. but vns forgotten fin the rush of business. This point was fulir decided two years SEQ in another such game and It was then voted that five or more innines must be played before it would constitute a game. This will make two raue< to be played over. the Hills and the St Joseph md the Pastimes and the North Ends.

 much Lajoie draws down under his contract is not known, but it is about S7,500 a season, which is within $2,5oO of what the president of the largest bank in Germany gets year, and is moro than many American bankers re. ceive for an entire year But the Cleveland claim that Lajoie's salary is 'the biggest" is denied in oher cities. Without furnishing the figures to substaniate their assertions, Pitts burg declares that Fred Clarke re- ceives higher salary than that called for in Lajoie's contract, while the New York Nationals maintain that John McGraw, the scrappy one. is better paid than the Cleveland Frenchman, and the New York Americans would have the fans believe that Willie Keel CT is paid close around $S,000 per sea- son. There are other names famous in baseball annals to conjure with, and it is declared by their partisans that they also draw such princely stipends that they hesitate to make the figures public for fear of exciting national envy. Certain 1t is that Jimmy Collins gets his in large punches and so like wise does Christy Mathewson and Hans Wagner, not to mention several others. That these baseball stars are worth the money paid them is shown in two ways-frst, in their playing and managerial ability. and second. which Is the meat in the egg" to the managers. their work drawing power. Think of the effect the announcement that Mathewson is to pitch has upon the fans whose money supports the game-how they fill the cars leading to the parks, almost fighting for the best seats. Then compare the lack of interest in the same fans when 1t is said that John Doe from the Bushes is to do the twirling The names of the great baseball stars are valuable drawing cards. just as the name of Mansfield raises the price in theaters where he is to appear.

 New Haven is playing great bose ball and yet the fans are not giving her much encouragement in attend ance.
 Fenske, Wallace, Thompson. Ritter and Terry Rogers were given the blue ticket to-day. It is possible that some of these chaps will catch on with some of the other teams in the league.
 City league will play two games on each Sunday now and this will give the patrons all the base ball necessary. There will be two full games and no stopping in the middle of good contest. What a swatfest yesterday! Fifteen errors in one game Springfield made just twice as many as Waterbury. Two amateur teams would not make as many blunders in a week.
 A win to-day will help out some. Everybody is taking 8 fall out of Bridgeport. Holyoke turned the trick yesterday. Are the city officials getting cold feet! The scribes are waiting for C game.
 That Slavin boy in the City league Is catching fine game this year.

Railroad Mans Prayer.

Every trade has its own
peculiar vernacular, says An
ma Carlson. It is told of a
railroad man of recent con-
versatiOn that when the pas
tor of his church called on
him for public prayer he
prayed as follows: Nov
that | have tagged thee. lift
up my feet from the rough
road of life and plant them
safely on the deck of the
train of salvation. Let me
use the safety lamp of pru-
dence, make all the couplings
with the link of love, and let
my handlamp be the Bible,
and keep all switches closed
that lead off the main line
into the sidings with blind
ends. Have every semaphore
block along the line show the
white light of nope, that l
may make the run of life
without stopping Give me
the ten commandments as a
working card, and when /
have finished the run on

ness.

A Kansas editor says: We
attended church some time
ago and listened to a very
good sermon, as sermons 90.
We enjoyed the singing, and
stood up with the brethren
and sisters while they sang
the good old hymn, "Shall
We Know Each Other
There?" While the hymn
was being sung we glanced
about us and counted about
a dozen members of the con-
gregation and of the church
who do not speak to each
other when they meet on the
street, or elsewhere. The
thought occurred to us, why
should they s'know each
other there" when they seem
ingly don't know each other
here!

Dueling has gone out of
