managers Of the Eastern Baseball

ton Tri-state team, an option on the

Last year a similar effort was made
to have the Trenton territory trans

ern organization but failed because Of
the refusal Of the former to give up its
claim.
This season, II is rumored the Tri-
State League is to experience great
retrenchment policies, and there has
been a rumor that Eastern cities
would be dropped from the circuit and
new cities in central Pennsylvania ad-
mitted to membership. With these
rumors rife it would not be hard to
learn the opinion Of TIN 'Ti-State
managers.

LANGUAGES IN THE PARK
Many Tongues Heard in Sunday
Walk Around the Reservoir.

That New York is a polyglot city is
impressed on an English speaking resi-
dent strongly when he takes a sunday
walk through Central Park once around
the reservoir on a bright Sunday will
bring to the ear as many tongues almost
as are heard at Ellis Island, says the
New York Sun.
In a very strong majority is German,
with Italian next. Thereafter comes the
Scandinavian tongues. with very few
French speaking people and almost nc
Spanish.
The Chinese and Japanese are seen but
rarely in the park. Now and again a
pedestrian is lucky enough to hear the
Indo- Iranian and Slavic tongues, so that
all in all Il seems like taking tour
through the language belts from the
north OF Europe TO the Mediterranean
and then through TO tho far East
