THE MIXTURES CITY LEAGUE
 WILL OBJECT
f the Managers Are Prevented From Playing Because Pro- fessionals Desire to Use
 the Field.

The managers of the City Amateur league held a meeting last night in the St Joseph rooms and threshed out the matter of giving up the pase- ball field to the professionals tor any more Sunday games, and they unanl- mously voted to enter a decided oD- lection to any further Sunday pro- fessional baseball. They are forced to do this because their schedule has been knocked helter and skelter ana the interest in the games has begun to lag because of the many inter- ruptions. They were informed yes- terday that there would be no further professional games in Waterbury this season at least, but last night they received information from another source, that Waterbury intended to play Holyoke next Sunday again. and that it was the intention of the management to bring some of the big league teams on different Sundays during the rest of the summer. The City league managers have held on from making any strenuous obJec- tions against the Waterburys play 1 ing on Sunday, believing that the management would use them fairly and let them get in their schedule, but they see now that they are to be | ignored entirely in the matter. and | that the management of the Water. bury state league team intends to keep on playing Sundays, no matter whether the City league can complete its schedule or not. The managers have decided, therefore, to enter strenuous objection and to that end have taken steps accordingly. They do not wish to hurt baseball in any way, but they must sacrifice some one to protect themselves. Any attempt then to play further professional
 baseball on Sundays will be fought by the amateurs of the city and they are backed up in this contention by several of the ministers and some prominent business men, who do no
 like the way the City league ha' been treated this season.
 The following schedule has been ar ranged for next Sunday: The frs
 game will find the Brooklyns ant Merrimacs tackling each other. Th' second game will have the Nortl Ends and St Josephs and the thirt game the Washington Hills and Pas times will meet each other. Ther, are three teams tied for second plac' in the race so that the games iron now to the close of the season vii be interesting This will also be tn
 beginning of the second series, ,whicl
 is month late because of the inter ruptions. Another feature of tn
 games next Sunday will be the fac
 that the North Ends and St Joseph
 will practically play two games be
 tween themselves. When those team
 met the first of the season the gam : was stopped with one out on the S
 Josephs' side and with the score l
 to in favor of the North End team
 The St Josephs maintained that tn
 inning should have been completed
 and in that contention the manager
 coineided. and the inning was ord
 cred completed the next time tn
 teams met. Next Sunday then be
 fore their regular game the Nort
 Ends and the St Josephs will fgh ] out that one-half inning, with Tor
 Burns at the bat. The cause of a,
 the trouble was that so many fou
 balls had been knocked over tn fence that the umpire grew tired C waiting for another ball and calle the game. the score reverting to tn previous inning. making it to 6. A , the North Ends had scored one 1 , their half of the inning, the Z l Joseph boys will have to fight in hal
 an inning against a 10 to 6 score.
