 The City League will begin on
 July 10, it was decided last night at a meeting of the managers in city hall. The long debated question of whether Saturday afternoon or twilight baseball would be played was settled also in favor of Saturday afternoon.
 The City league managers made 1t sure last night that there would be no jumping from the Industrial league to the City league by passing rule that no player an any Indus- trial league team would be allowed 10 play in the City league.
 Commissioner James J. Naughton, representative of the public amuse- ment commission, is always a firm believer in leaving details of base ball league to the board of mana gers and when the question of um- pires arose, he announced that his policy would be hands off and that the arbiters would be chosen by the managers. This will circum- vent the choice of any umpire who would not be satisfactory to the managers or players.
 There were only five teams repre- sented last night. The Robin A. C., whose application had been accepted was not represented and there was no explanation forthcoming. The managers thereupon gave the team until Thursday to serve notice of what they are going to do.
 Should the Robins not care to en- ter the league, the Spcedboys are very anxious to have their applica- ton accepted and they will be ac- cepted if the Robins fail to come through by Thursday.
 Manager Abe Aronson of the Ori- oles doesn't care 10 brook any de- lection in the ranks of his baseball l,, f5 tai, 4 deserted his squad last Sunday to play with the Burritts. Manager Aronson immediately made prepara- tions to fill his place.
 Micky CRabbiD Bucheri was chos- en to act as captain in Walicki's place and a player who was former ly a member of the Crosby High team of Waterbury will occupy his place at second base. Guida, an- other member of the team who also went with the Burritts last week, l will be supplanted by another play 1 CT who was a member of the Ori- ! oles a few years back.
 Any player has the right to play | with whatever team he sees fit or !! with which he can benefit more, but 1. no player has a moral right to turn , his mates down without notifying . them of his intended action. Wa lck's action in leaving the Oioles | for the Burritts without letting | Manager Aronson in on the deal . wasn't strictly a square deal.
 The Burritts, as a club, are not to 1 a- blamed in any way for accepting inc services of the two players who l artcd the season with the Orioles. . N'alicki and Guida are two fairly good men and if the Burritts had he chance 10 get them, that is their good fortune. The individuals should have said what they were go- ing 10 do, however.
 Louis (Kid) Kaplan, the feather weight champion of the world, has trained himself down to 132 pounds which is six pounds over the feather weight limit. From his present ap- pearance. the champion is going 10 have little difficulty in getting down to the required 126 pounds.
 Garcia. Kaplan's opponent in the worlds title bout al the Hartford cyclcdromc on the night Of June 2S, is one of the most vicious fighters in the ring. It is a question in the minds of many fans whether Rap Ian will retain his title against the southcrncr or not. The champions sparring partners are working with him every day us , ing, as near as they can, the style Garcia uses in the ring. Kapan seems to easily penetrate their de- fense. but it should be another ques- lion in the ring against the man who uses that style.
