Gleason, who has been playing with

playing illegally and ordered the

THINKS WILMINGTON
SHOULD PLAY BETTER

Discussing the Tri-State baseball
situation, the Harrisburg Courier says:
Trenton and Wilmington, according
to present indications, are woefully
down the list and only a complete re-
Organization of the backing of these
teams will bring about the change
looked for. At Trenton President Car
penter has been busy all week trying
to pull off a deal that will be of great
benefit to both the Tri-State and Tren-
ton. This means a change for the
better in the game in that city. At
Wilmington the new head, John
IO,Rourke, Is doing his best to bring
the Peaches up to higher standard,
and it looks as II he was going to sue
ceed. There is no reason why the Will
mington team should not play a bet
ter game or Trenton either. as the
material is there, and with proper
management the game will be played
properly.
While conditions at Trenton are to
some extent due 10 the lack Of
finances. there have been other causes
which to a great extent have figured
in poor work at Wilmington and with
the Johnstown teams. There is a
great need for a rule that will keep a
ball player down to business. Night
drinking parties. and too long hours in
debauch will ruin any ball player-and
these practices have few Tri-State
players on the blink this season. Ball
players as a rule have good sense but
there are some who have no thought
of the future, and they try to play ball
with a few hours sleep, and after a
night Of debauchery. Managers try
their best to handle these men prop
erly. but it seems almost impossible
A Tri-State rule making II serious
lonense and barring a player from the
right to play anywhere would bring
about a change.
