The Active base ball club Of Reading
has been permanently organized for 1884
and II is said that the team will be 100 per
cont stronger than any club that tho city
has ever had. Tho great effort will be to
secure heavy batters,
club will not allow themselves to DO bull
dozed by tho Harrisburg club this after
noon. The latter have tho reputation Of
being bullics, and they sustain it either AT
home or abroad
The Active and the Brooklyn have with.
drawn from tho inter state association
aud the Merritt and Anthracite have
disbanded SO that nothing remains Of 1t
but the Trenton, tho Quicksteps and
the Harrisburg. The inter state did
little moro in any town than pay ex-
penses.
The HJustons arc too much for LanCas-
tors blood. They telegraphod last night
that TO come here they must have S65 Of a
rain guarantee. This was refused by tho
Management of tho lronsides, aud tho date
was at once cancelled. The Harrisburg
club was telcgraphed to and they agreed
To come this afternoon.
The Harrisburg club has played more
games than any inter state clubs and won
more. Ii should therefore have received
tho pernant. The Brooklyn club may have
won a greater percentage, but as it did not
play as many games as Harrisburg, il is
just that 1t should be declared champion.
All clubs should DO given a fair, square
chance. -ReddiHg Herdld.
