THE DIAMOND
CITY LEAGUE MANAGERS MEET
 TONIGHT.
Decision Will Be Arrived ct on the Ball Field Question
 Other News.

The managers of the City Amateur league will meet this evening in the St Joseph's rooms at half past eight, and Manager Harry Durant of the Waterbury professionals will be pres ent to talk over the terms of the lease which will be issued to the amateurs for the Sunday games. At the last meeting the president could not be in attendance because of meeting of the new Physical Culture club. At that meeting a deadlock took place oil the acceptance of the terms offered by the owners of the ground. Unless Manager Durant can show the mana gers that his offer is generous one the same deadlock will exist and it will then devo1ve on the president to break that tie. The league is q little behind this year in getting started and the managers should have filed their lists of players on the first meet ing in this month. Perhaps as soon as the tangle on the grounds is strengthened out matters will run along more smoothly.

A big upset occurred in the second, when Bettie Landon, at 100 to 1, gave the odds on favoEite, Al Powell, and Bath Maria, sound beating, winning in the fair time of 5S seconds for the four and half furlongs.

 Chieftain and Lackey were made even favorites in the first event, a handicap at five and half furlongs. Sterling was played more than little for place and show. Royal Window, Blue Coat and Lackey made the run ming to the stretch in the order named. Then Royal Window collapsed, and Sterling took up the running. He gradually overhauled the leader and nosed out Blue Coat in the last jump. Lackey could do no better than third.
 The sixth was regarded as an open event, every one of the six starters be- ing played generously. Amberjack finally was made the favorite. with Bill Curtis.
