1t was the general opinion at the
meeting of the amateur base ball body
last night that the sport will be in
for a general boom this season, despite
the fact that 1T is probable there will
be less leagues to start the season.
The meeting was addressed by several
of its officers, and a general optimistic
vein prevailed.
There was not much real business
transacted. The Federal and Central
Leagues were admitted to the body.
and the appointment of Mr.. Shurtlen
to the position of secretary was rati-
fed.
One interesting feature of the meet
ing was an address by Clark Griffith.
in which he promised the amateur
Park at any time when the club was
away.
Despite the fact that there have been
stances. declarations to the effect that
the Departmental League would not
be in existence this year. 1T Is now
| certain that the circuit will play a
schedule of about the same length as
| in previous years.
| A schedule has been adopted and
ratified. 1t is as follows:
