City League Formed By Waters Ma
tionals, Marions, D. S. A. c., lyce-
ums and Puritans--l6 Games.
SERIES AT PARK, JULY II

Perth Amboy's first real city base
ball league was formed last night
when representatives from it's five
leading teams assembled at the
EVENING NEWS office and made
preliminary arrangements for bat
Ting for city championship honors.
To add interest and value to the
series of games, that are to extend
from July II to about October 2,
the EVENING NEWS will give a big
city championship pennant to the
winning team.
Double-headers will be played at
Amusement Park each Sunday after
Don and by this method fans will
see a better and more highly inter
esting line of baseball than they
have during the past two years or so.
The teams entered, which are the
very best in the city, are enthusiast
tic over the project and the plan
bears with almost certain success.
By its adoption baseball interest be-
comes focused at the park and there
alone need fans GO to be satisfied
with baseball food. There need be
no more running around, or long
hours of deliberat1on, to determine
where to go to see a good game; it
will be Amusement Park for the
baseball-crazed fan every Sunday
afternoon after this.
There will be no preliminary at
fractions. Two big f1rst-class games
will be given for one small admis-
sion. When the league meets again
next Tuesday night permanent off,
GERS, committees, ETC., will be chosen
to conduct the affairs of the organ
ization. Among other things pro-
vision will be made to improve the
park grounds somewhat. Everything
possible will be done for the conven-
fence of the fans. OF course, it is
not likely that the grandstand will
be covered or that any extensive i'm
provements will be made at this late
time of the season, but the grounds
will be generally improved and given
a neat appearance.
The league has with 1t the hearty
support of most every fan in the city
and vicinity. 1t Is the first real or
g%anizatioG of it's kind W. formed
here. The teams are glad to remain
at home and play at the park. They
have everything to gain and nothing

The agitation for a city league,
such as the one Just formed, began
to grow a few weeks ago. 1t grew
until all the leading teams became
interested and then a meeting was
called for last night in the EVENING
NEWS office. Always eager to lend
assistance to good clean sport such
as baseball, the EVENING NEWS
pushed the project by continually
placing it before the public, arrang-
ing for a meetings in It's sporting
sanctum and then offering a suita-
BILE pennant to the aggregation that
is to be determined "City Cham
pions."
The meeting was a huge uccess

liminary arrangements two games
will be played Sunday afternoons at
the park, starting July IT. Each
team may play the other twice, thus
allowing later dates for postponed
games.
Immediately after taking the
chair Mr.. Waters put the question to
each of the representatives as to
whether or not the city league idea
was favored, and all expressed them
selves in the affirmative. 1t devel-
oped in the discussion that followed
that the league will be conducted on
a good sound ebusiness-like basis.
Financial matters will be looked
