LANCASTER READY

= LANCASTER. August 2-There is grave
doubt at this time whether the Lancaster

Jumps the league and plays independents
ball Tor the remainder of the season. The
management complains bitterly Of their
treament by the other fye clubs. which
have fought them all season instead of help
ing to smooth their way, which would have
been for the welfare OF the entire league.
They all know that Lancaster has been
made the point OF attack by the big leagues,
which have almost ruined the local club.
Instead Of assisting Lancaster SO as TO
equalixe the playing strength. the other Tri-
state teams have done everything to pre-
vent Lancaster from securing men. invari-
ably laying claim to him when Lancaster
dug up good player somewhere.

Lancaster Is considering the adyisability OF
leaving the league. 1t Is believed that 9

much less cost. That the high-priced play.
ers who are always threatening to jump
could be let go. and the others. with the In
terest OF the club at heart. would play out
the season. There would be no lack OF
teams for games. as there are at least
dozen fine Independent ball teams in eastern
Pennsylvania that would readily come here
to play. The local club could play more
games at home than while in the league,
and this would suit the public better. Some
thing definite on the question of leaving the
league will be done within a few days.
Chick Hartley. outfielder for the Lancas-
ter Tristate team. having Informed the
management that his health Is failing. has
been allowed to quit He will probably play
no more ball with any team this season
Earlier in the season he helped win many
games by his hard hitting, but lately he has
fallen off in ail-around work. Manager
Crolius has left Lancaster on a hunt for,
new players.

Calvary, with its strongest team out-the
team that recently defeated their rivals

of the bunch for they only captured the
game after one of the hardest fights they
have had this year. against team woe

Mcdonald and Willis. Had any two of
these been in Sixth's lineup to land a
birgle at a critical stage Calvary would
now be in second place and~her chances for
the pennant lessened about 80 per cent.
But in lieu of Sixth's star stickers were
trio OF youngsters in the outdield. They
handled all their chances nicely in the
field but with the stick they were nil with

every inning.
