The reaction pp{r_arrow}p{pi}{sup +}N has been studied at three energies (T{sub p}=1520 , 1805, and 2100MeV) and six angles from 0{degree} up to 17{degree} (laboratory). Several narrow states have been observed in missing mass spectra at 1004, 1044, and 1094MeV. Their widths are typically 1 order of magnitude smaller than the widths of N{sup {asterisk}} or {Delta} . Possible biases are discussed. These masses are in good agreement with those calculated within a simple phenomenological mass formula based on color magnetic interaction between two colored quark clusters. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
