 The managers of the Junior Amateur league will meet this eve ming at the rooms of the Quaker Athletic club.
 The friends and acquaintances of Jack" Madden are wondering what kind of surprise the Brook lynite played upon them, for he has not been seen for the past week and has resigned his position on the trol- ley cars. It Is the opinion of many who know Jack" that he has gone off to again join the army which he was in for several years. It Is only recently that John returned to Brooklyn after serving term in the army and as he enjoys the life of the soldier, many are of the impression that he once more departed to enlist with the regulars.
 Although last year a couple of local players, including one brook- lynite, were given tryout on the Waterbury Baseball team. in the list of players this season no amateur IS mentioned and none is likely to pc tried. At one time 1t was thought that William Lallier might get chance with the local aggregation and if he had asked for 1t. in all probability his request would have been granted. But Manager Tom McGrath of Niagara set the meshes for Lallier and coralled him without much exertion. Lallier is a born hitter. a good fielder and should get into fast company. Just at pres ent in Brooklyn there is no profess sional timber In other sections or the city might be found a couple Of players of the City Amateur league who might make good in fast com pany out of town, but they seem to fall a little shy when working here.
 President. J. A. Hayden of the Amateur Polo league called at the home of Thomas Bockwith last eve ming and presented him with purse of $50 which was made on the ben eft game given in the Auditorium last Friday evening. All the returns for tickets have not as yet been made to the president, and the in | jured player, who by the way has im- proved considerably the past few days and is now out of danger, might receive a few dollars more when all managers have settled. The man. agers of the league should receive credit for arranging and making the benefit success as it was for a good cause and as Bockwitch received his injuries as the result of playing in the amateuer games, it was no more than right that the benefit should have been given. Although almost everyone contributed their services gratis. the managers of the league were not at all pleased with the
 manner in which Managers McMah. | on and Aalliwell acted toward the benefit. The Eagles association agreed to give the hall for afternoon and night for $10, which sum would pay for the lights. As the manage ment used the hall for roller skating | in the afternoon and as the amateur players receive no compensation for furnishing the preliminary games evenings, which draw many people to the rink, those who had charge of the benefit game were confident that Me- Mahon and Halliwell would go hali
 towards paying the rent of the hall
 But they did nothing of the kind and
 the Shop league managers were com
 pelled to pay the expenses for the hall. Of course the management
 might have thought that they were
 contributing enough when the! agreed to give up the hall for the evening, but it appears to the man. lagers and the persons who know about the incident as though it was
 drawing the line pretty fine.
 One of the most eexciting run Iaways ever seen in Brooklyn oc,
 cured this morning about 10:3C |o'clock, when horse attached tC
 the delivery wagon of J. c. Bauser ol West Clay street, one of the delivery
 wagons hitched to three of the biz
 black horses of the Eagle Brewing
 company and trolley car crashed
 near the corner of Bank and South
 Leonard streets. Luckily no ont
 was hurt. The car was damaged
 only slightly. Bauser's world beatel
 escaped without a scratch, but one o
 the blacks was injured, receiving 2
 bad gash on the breast It was tho
 most peculiar mix-up witnessed ii
 this section in long time and those
 who saw the accident wondered wh,
 Bauser's steed was not killed. Tn,

 lords of Joe" Smiths and Ed" Dun

 Brewery wagon was coming up whil,
 the trolley car was travelling dowr the street at a slow pace. As thu

 of the Consolidated road were pass

 along and endeavored to go betweer
