minor league clubs are contributing $3.50
each.

Its death occurred when the news was re-
ceiyed from Trenton and Wilmington
to the effect that those cities could be
counted out, and Reading and Lancaster
were not heard from, thus leaving only

ling in existence. When no out-of-town
representatives. appeared on the scene,

have to adjourn sine die. This city will
now put forth big efforts to secure adj
mission to the Eastern League, thus
making ten-club circuit for that organi-
| Zation.
Big jim" Davis has been signed by
