CITY LEAGUE TO HAVE SIX TEAMS,
 IT IS DECIDED
Black Rocks Threaten to Put up Strong Aggregation-Factory
 League Plans

Six clubs will go to make up the City Baseball league this season, name- ly the St. Joseph's, Yosts. South Ends, North Ends. Eagles and Black Rocks. The latter team was voted a franchise at meeting of the league held last evening at the office of City Clerk Boucher, the meeting being presided over by President A. E.. VenesS.
 Manager Jack Halpin of the Black Rocks was on hand in the interests of his club. According to his views the Rocks will be much in evidence this season and will put -snappy aggre- gation in the field. The Rocks last season won the junior city champion ship. Manager Halpin says he has a bunch of new men who will so strengthen his club, that they will be dangerous foe to any club in the city.
 The other new club in the league, the Eagles, held a meeting last even- ing at their rooms in Madison avenue, discussing the prospects for the conn., ing season. The Eagles will be com posed solely of members of the local aerie of the F. O. E. but in that num- Der are many crack players of the city. Manager Chris McMahon an- nounced that he is negotiating with the Eagles of Waterbury for a game

 inss of blue with white stripes and blue caps with the Eagles mono gram.
 At the City league meeting. it was decided to start the schedule about the first Sunday in May and continue till the last Sunday in August. Some of the managers desired to have the schedule drawn out to include the Sundays in September, but it was shown unless there is an exciting f1n- ish for first honors interest dies out with the games Labor Day. As ar- engagements are also under way with the New Haven and Waterbury City leagues for three cornered post ser ies the league mog-uls decided that these oar'es if any should be run off in September.
 A schedule committee is now out and will report at a meeting to be held next Monday evening.

and there are little courtesies that managers extend to each other in the hope of reciprocal courtesies. But notwithstanding this, it was queer that H. Eugene McCann was the only director who voted according to the principles that regulate the national game"
 Manager O'Neil of New Britain has signed up Catcher LegrieuX of Woon- socket, R. l., who was the crack backstop of the Mill league last sea- son. Legrieux was recommended 10 O'Neil by Frank Beaumont, the for mer Orator backstop.

 Manager McCann was so disgusted with the turn of affairs at the league meeting yesterday, that returning in the early evening to this city he dis sipated by taking in Uncle Toms Cabin at the Park. Gene had new CT seen the production before, and was glad he took it in. Manager Gene was brought up in Baltimore. where because of their hatred of the black race they would not dare to give a production of Harriet Beecher Stoves masterpiece.

RAMBlERS AND BJYS' CLUB
 TEAMS TO PLAY SATURDAY
City Championship Will Hinge Upon Game at the Armory
 Upon That Day

Again are the Ramblers and Boys Club basketball teams heard from. Some time ago, their managers and captains intimated that they would start something in the basketball line, but obstacles always broke which prevented the contests. Last evening the leaders of both clubs got togeth- CT, and after hours of quiet dicker- ing, agreed to start their series for the championship of the city on Sat urday evening at the state armory. No arrangements for other than the first game was arranged. It is as- sumed that the winning team will rest on its laurels and claim the championship, rather than to play further contests.

 F'irst-Is it or is it not desirable for the university to encourage the building of a stadium Cor coiseum) al large expense to be used wholly or mainly for important athletic con- tests?
 Second-If desirable, what type of stadium should be erected and where should it be located?
 Third--What plan of financing the stadium would be most satisfactory and prevent possible interference with meeting more important needs of the university?
 Fourth-If the stadium is not desir- able what plan, if any, should be adopted to meet the greater conven- fence of graduates in attending inter- collegiate games. as well as providing financial support for Yale athletics?
 The report of this committee will definitely determine Yale's action on the stadium proposition. Immediate ly after the close of the last football season the Athletic committee took up the problem, but has been staggered by the questions involved and called on the University Corporation for help A sub- committee was appointed by the Athletic committee to wrestle with the general question. The sub-commi tee consisted of Walter Camp, Prof. Theo- dore Woolsey, and the Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes and three of the ath- letic team managers. They have looked over stadium models, consid- cred methods of financing the proposi- tion. and possible sites, and are un- willing to proceed without the full sanction of the corporation and the Alumni advisory board.
 The subcommittee of the Athletic committee will cheerfully turn over to the new committee which MT. Rogers appoints all the information 1t has col lected about stadiums. It is known that the sub-athletic committee has found only two thoroughly satisfac-
