Tri.State is Granted Whining

In Contention

The Board Of Arbitration Of he'Nation-
al Association Of Baset all ieasues at US
meeting yesterday admitted the Tri-Sta,e
League to territorial rights in Whining
ton. Del. and Trenton, n. j., thereby
quashing the application Of the newly or
ganized Atlantic League for protection cf
its territorial rights as claimed in thesa
two cities.
Inasmuch as the application Of the At
lantic League for membership includes
these cities, the board decided that Il
could not consider the application until Il
had boen changed. eliminating Winning
ton and Trenton from the Atlantic Leasue
circuit
1t will be necessary therefore that a
new application for the admission Of the
Atlantic League no be filed, in which are
specified the cities they propose to cover,
emitting. OF course, the two cities which
have been in dispute.
Secretary ]. II. Farrell. Of the board
stated that the grounds upon which the
Tn-State application for the territorial
rights were granted were that the Tr.-
state. though recently admitted. had a
prior claim upon the field on account Of
its older organization. A league standing
adjacent to any territory may be consult
cd before that adjacent territory Is al
lotted TO another league.
