TRI-STATE TO
FIGHT BOLTERS
Territorial Draft Petition Op'
posed by Nearly All
Minors

Managers Of the Tri-State baseball
League are awaiting with some concern
the decision Of the National Commission
on January next in the questions placed
before it by the boiling Eastern league
and American Association, especially to
the demand made by the two organiza-
tions for the privilege of drafting terri-
tory from other minor leagues under
terms and conditions to be prescribed. The
National Commission will pass judgment
on the question at the January session
aud when that body meets II Will have
the opinion and objections OF the Tri-
state league and other organizations OF
the National Association to consider on
the question.
The demand is one that eminates from
the Eastern League which has entertain-
ed a desire TO secure Trenton in its circuit
in the place of Montreal. The Tri-State
circuit would be the first TO suffer should
the holders get the territorial draft de-
mand. The Eastern League would immedi-
ately gobble up Trenton and drop Mon
treal. 1t might not be the only town either
for It is known that Reading and VIII
mington have had some consideration with
the Eastern magnates and they might
look 70 those cities as valuable assets to
the league. The Eastern league might also
seek one or two OF the New York state
league towns TO form more compact cir.
cult by taking Syracuse, Scranton OF
Wiikesbarre. The demand is meeting with
opposition from almost every league in the
National Association and the demands will
