 At meeting last evening in the rooms of the Quaker Athletic club on Bank street the Greater Amateur Baseball league was formed. Repre- sentatives from twelve clubs were present. but as the league will only be made up of eight teams. four had to be dropped. The league elected Jo- seph A. Smith president and will se- lect secretary and treasurer at meeting to be held Sunday. The clubs that will compose the league are the Pioneers, Quakers. Sunshines, B. A. c. Juniors, Slashers. Rosebuds. Watch Shop and the Independent Golden Stars. The teams that were not taken in were the Clovers, Wind- tanners, St Joseph Juniors and the Big Golden Stars. The names of all the teams represented were placed in Q hat and the first four names drawn out were the unlucky ones. The for nation of the league is the result of the rivalry which existed between the Brooklyn teams last season. The Pioneers. Quakers, Rosebuds and played some hot games on Corcoran's lots and as there were plenty of teams in this and other sec tions of the city, 1t was decided to form league for this season. The league is likely to prosper if there Is not too much wrangling and if the various managers do not endeavor to play ringers. Joe Smith should make an excellent presiding officer, as he knows the game we'll and will with out doubt be impartial in his rulings. The games will be played on Cor coran's lots and some other grounds to be selected later, but the managers should proceed slowly. as the forma- tion of the league will cause so much that it may meet the fate of the Greater Waterbury Amateur league which existed couple of years ago.

Mrs Presaitkis, who was on the verge of mysteries when she heard last evening that her child was lost, rushed into Brooklyn store and amid sobs and shrieks declared that her boy was gone. She at length in- formed those present that her child had been missing since 6 o'clock and as it was then 9 she thought that her had encountered some dreadful accident. Oficer Walsh ap- peared on the scene, was informed of the disappearance of the child. de- clared that he would take up the trail and a few minutes later was around looking for clues that would put him on the track of the wander ing boy. He soon had a line on the child and about s:30 was seen hustling up Drayer avenue where he found the Presaitkis boy
