Philadelphia Player lncensed At Pro
posed Cut In Salary.

Carlisle, Pa, Feb. 17.-Charles r.
Pittcngcr of the phllics was angry
when he read that he had asked for an
increase of salary.
Pittcnger says that notwithstanding
what Mr. Shettslinc alleged. that he,
Pittcnger, was given two months leave
with pay last year he did not receive
pay for the two months during last
season. which he spent away from the
clrh on account Of sickness. He FUR
thcr said that h" did not wish raise
of salary for this year for his good
work of past seasons.
ON the contrary. he said he knows
h" did very poor work last year, owing
to Ills continued illness. In his letter to
President Shcttsline he said ne asked
for 2 eaIlry which would be few
hundred less than he received in 1906.
Pittcngor's contract, which was sent to
him a few days ago, called for a much
smaller salary than he had formerly
received. and he insists that he will not
sign at those figures. Pitt"nger says
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1907-02-18
that he is not worrying about staying

he thinks he can conduct an indepen-

Pitcher Scanlon Of Brooklyn will not
join the club until it cones back from

Dick Harley is firm in his determination
not to play with the Trenton Tri-Statn

This in britr is the report Of the special

nearly n year ago to examine into the
facts connected with the acquisition and
ownership by officers and employees Of the
company OF stock or other interest in
any company the holding Of which could
affect the performance of their duty or
the cornpanY'S duty to the public. Th,
alleged acceptance of "ratuitics by en-

its examination Of BOB officers and en-
lloycs. including every officer Of the sew
eral companies whose individual action
or whose order to any subordinate could
affect any discrimination, the committee
reports it found that 2GG had interests in
coal or other corporations or firm or with

all of these had acquired their Interest

received gifts Of shares or interests in
various corporations and their names
have been reported to the presidents Of
the several railroad companies for APP

On the whole. the report vindicates the
officers and employees Of the Pennsylvania

1899 and 1907 the interest Of tie stock
holders in every instance have been prop
