THE DIAM ON D.
CITY LEAGUE OPENS FIRST
Seasos Will Begin Next Sunday and the Schedule Has Been
 Arranged.

The City Amateur league Is all ready for the opening of the season and from the looks of things the people of this city will be given bet ter baseball than ever before. An important meeting of the league was held last evening at St Joseph rooms and every team was represented. AS was announced by the Democrat yes terday Manager Kilmartin will retire from active interest in the league this year and the Pastimes will lose one of the best managers that has handled that team for many years. Last evening he was present and an- nounced his retirement from the management and also rendered his resignation as treasurer of the league. For half hour the other managers tried to prevail on him to reconsider his determination to quit but he stated that he could not give the team all his time this year and 1t would not be fair to continue at the head of the Pastimes. When it was seen that he was in earnest in the matter his resignation was re- luctantly accepted and the league loses one of the mainstays, who has done as much as any other manager in the league to make 1t a success. The retiring manager will be super seded by William Carroll, the former of whom will probably assume the title of manager while the latter will assist in that connection. William Ghent, manager of the Merrimacs, was elected to the position of treas urer to succeed Mir Kilmartin. Be- fore retiring for the meeting room Manager Kilmartin thanked the oth- CT managers for the many kindnesses that had been shown him during his stay in the league and for the good words that had been spoken of him during the meeting. He as- sured them that he would not lose all interest in the league and would assist as far as he could his old team, the Pastimes. There were four applications for the position of umpire for the season. They came from the following: George Waite of Naugatuck, James Thompson. Frank Hollywood and Edward V. Curley of this city. It was finally decided to accept the first two and they will begin their duties next Sunday. The same rule will hold for the umpires this year as last. One will umpire the first game and the other the last two and the following Sunday they will change positions. Next Sunday Thompson will umpire the first game and Waite the last two. A committee consisting of Presi. dent Maloney. Managers Guilfoile and Madden were named to draw ur a contract for the grounds. Better terms have been secured from the baseball park owners, than were in force last year. The following sched- ule was adopted, which of course Is subject to changes If circumstances warrant them: First Series.
