TWO CAMDEN GAMES
ALLOWED TO STAND
Important Business Trans
acted at Meeting of Tri-
State League

Harrisburg. Pa. May l6.-The Har-
risburg Athletic Club lost out yester-
day afternoon at the meeting Of the
managers Of clubs in the Tri-State
Association. All of the clubs were rep
resented at the meeting, which was
long and stormy. Summed up, the
work done amounted to this:
The present umpire system win stand
until June /. each club to retain its own
umpire. After that date 1t is possible
that the umpires viii rotate. The ro-
tation system was demanded by Har-
risburg to take effect at once, because
of the raw deal It is alleged to have
received at Altoona. Hereafter when
there is a dispute over an umpire's de-
cision only the captains of clubs will
be permitted to approach the umpire
and players must keep back.
When Harrisburg and York play In
the future an outside umpire must Of
ficiate. The Harrisburg-York game OF
last Tuesday for the Farnsworth cup,
awarded TO Harrisburg when York left
the field. was thrown out and viii be
played over.
The two games between Camden and
Wilmington for the cups which were
disputed because Wilmington played
Bruce and Pinnance, the pitchers said
to belong TO Connie Mack's Athletics
were awarded to Wilmington. Bruce
is permitted TO play with Wilmington
until June Is, while Pinnance will play
the season out with FrysinRer's team
1t was decided that hereafter no Tri-
State club can use a major league
player unless It signs him for at leasl
month.
Harrisburg made a vigorous protest
to all the above propositions, but was
outvoted every time. The Harrisburg
officials evidently wanted everything
their own way and became Indignant
because of officials OF other teami
would not submit to some OF their non
| sensical demands.
