THE AMATEURS
THE HILLS HAVE
 WON THE CUP
The Few Games Left to Play in the City League Have Been
 Given Up.

At meeting of the City league managers held last night it was de- cided to call off the remaining games Of the schedule. The reasons st- trlbuted by the managers was on ac- count of the fact that the Washing ton Hill team had the championship clinched and the playing of the few remaining games would make but little difference in the league stand ing. Although the games played in the City league this season were as a rule the fastest since the organize ton of the league, still it was appar- ent from the start that the Hill team was in class by itself. That the other three teams were pretty close ly matched is plainly seen in the per cent column, and had there been second prize it goes without say ing that the contest for same would have created much more interest than did the one for first. The cup that will be awarded to the Wash fngton Hills, the 1908 champions. is certainly one that any organization might feel proud in being the owner Of, The City league feels deeply grateful to the Clayton Jewelry Go, who kindly donated the cup to the league. It is expected that the ma- Jority of the clubs will keep their teams together for the remandet of the season and play independent base ball with teams around the state. The championship cup is now on ex- hibition in the Clayton jewelry store window on Bank street.
