LEAGUE

After a lengthy discussion, the
several managers of the teams, who
had objected to the lineup of the
AmbOy A. G. team last Sunday,
withdrew their protest at a meeting
of the City League held last night,
satisfied with Manager Hardiman's
explanation of the affair.
1t was claimed that several new
players were in the lineup and this
is contrary to the constitution, as
only the original list handed in at
the beginning of the season is legal.
1t seems that some of the players
were playing under an assumed
name Sunday for various reasons,
hence the misur 1erstanding, which
occurred. MAJ tger Hardiman as
sured the other 4epresen' tives pres
ent that no new men az on the list,
and that he had no int ltion Of ring
ing In any new players.
Too much money Is being laid out
each week for umpires," is the YER
dict Of the managers, and 1t was
decided to have but one umpire for
each game. In order to be fair to
each umpire, Larson and Robedee,
who now umpire both games each
Sunday, one will be selected, ny a
toss up, to be In the first game and
the one losing will have charge of
the second contest. In this way,
both umpires will be working each
Sunday, and the expenses will be cut
down one-half in that matter, each
man receiving s2.00 for the game,
making a total Of $500 for an af-
ternoon, against $500 formerly paid
out.
One dollar will be paid out each
week to secure a boy who will chase
all balls going over the fence. 1t is
claimed that two or three balls are
lost by each team In every game,
thus making it cheaper to hire some
II to return all. Edward Hardi-
man was appointed a committee to
secure a suitable person.
Another rule was added to the by
laws of the league, in that the UNI
pire shall hereafter be authorized to
hold up the game whenever he sees
fit, if the crowds will not remain
back off the grounds. Last Sunday
the crowd Of rooters around first
base interfered greatly with the
pidy lh6y az lIlSg oldluluS III DdCh
of the catcher. If the boys will not
get back inside the fence when the
umpire holds up the game, it will
not be finished and stopped, what
ever the conditions may be.
Edward Hardiman and Vincent
Riedy were appointed a committee to
confer with Thomas Burke, in re-
gard to fixing up the grounds at
Amusement Park. The infield is in
bad shape, needing raking and lev
cling. The pitchers box and first
base are badly in need of repairs.
New base bags are needed, as they
are most gone, and are not station
airy. The committee will see him
some time today, and it is hoped the
grounds will be in condition by Sun
days game.
The resignation of Thomas Gar
retson, of the EVENING NEWS
staff, as chairman of the league, was
received and accepted with regrets.
Garretson has worked hard in the
interests of the league, making up
the schedule of the games to be
played and other affairs to the
leagues advantage and the managers
are sorry to have him leave. Gar
retson is returning to Lafayette
next. week. Morris Miller was
elected in his place.
Meetings will be held every Tues
day night after this, as the mana
gers feel that they ought to get to-
gether more often and talk things
over. Present at the meeting last
night were: Vincent Reidy, Edward
Hardiman, Thomas Mullen and Ne1s
Lindenberg.
