With the Amateurs
NY ANIATEIrn

The affairs of all of the leagues are
now in better shape than they have
been for some time. All of tho re-
ports made lead to the conclusion that
spirit of clean rivalry has been en-
Sendered. and that the several teams
are working their hardest to win the
pennant in their respective leads. 1t
is this spirit of rivalry which is going
to make amateur baseball the feature
those who are interested hope that 1t
may become IN Richmond. The fact
that rivalry exists must not be con-
founded with Jealousy or any ill-feel-
Ing. Indeed. the men are on the best
of terms, but In q ball game they are
out to win, and lose no opportunity
to let 1t be known.
The West End League 10 coming to
the front. The race is pretty. with the
Sidney Stars and the Monroes tied for
first place. The East End League re-
ports almost the same condition In

have brought together a fast lot of

yesterday was lost, that crowd will

doubtless be called early this week. at
which time the question OF reducing
the number of members Will likely
come up. 1t has been generally con-
ceded that the body was too I'M
wieldly and for this reason the best

etely the laws of the league do not
provide for a quorum. and this. too.
