TRl-STATE LEAGUE
TALKING PROTECTION

HARRISBURG. Pa. December 21.-A spe-
League was held here last evening to dis
cuss plans that will bring about increased
success and first-class sport next season.
The vital question was protection or no pro-
lection. Having presented a proposition in
volving a class with conditions and the
right to return certain players, it was de-
cided to send each representative in at
tendance at the meeting last night as a
committee to New York for a conference
with the national board on January s. At
this meeting the Tri-State people WI. pre-
sent their side of the case and will show
desire to be fair and meet the organized
league people half way. 1t is proposed to
ask for the addition of Trenton and Will
mington if protection is decided on. If no
protection the Tri-State will continue with
its present circuit.
A majority of the representatives here
want protection. but they are not in favor
of losing everything in getting it. They
want better financial results and increased
interest in the game, but the Tri-State
wants opportunity to start organized
ball in good shape. and in the opinion of
the representatives this cannot be done If
the right to keep certain players is denied.
The annual meeting of the Tri-State will
be held in this city soon after the confer
ence in New York and the result of the
talk with the national board will be dis
cussed and final decision reached.
The meeting last evening was attended by
the following: John r. Boeckel. Altoona;
John HeimenZ. Lancaster; William S.
Tunis. Harrisburg; w. Fl. Meyers, York;
Thomas d. Gray. Wiliamsport w. c.
Shaffer, Johnstown, and President Charles
