LANCASTER. Nov 3-There appears
20 be less interest in football in this sec
ton this season than for some years past

to be downed. There is almost as much
ball talk being aired now as there was
when the crack Of the bat resounded from

the Tri-State season.
Two questions are uppermost IN tho
minds OF the local followers of the great
national pastime namely: VIII there be
a Tri-State circuit next season3 and will
Lancaster have team in It II It does ma
terialize? IN some Of the towns repre-
sented last season matters appears TO be
a bit hazy. owing to financial losses sus-
talned. Lancaster has had couple Of bad
seasons. but there is a game board Of d.
rectors behind tho local bunch Of ball
tossers. and the Red Roses will "be
there" when the gong sounds next year.
The management win be an all import
ant question TO be solved first Of all.

Newark. and who last SESSION piloted the
fortunes OF the Red Roses, Is believed
10 be out Of the running altogether. Lat
terly he had been in wrong with the fans
