HOLD OUT CLUB
IS THE LATEST
9IXYl00

While there still remains quite a
number of unsigned contracts among
Tri-State players, managers are not
especially worrying about the fellows
who have joined the Hold Out Club.
In some instances the players are men
whose services are not so valuable that
the Tri-State could not get along with
out them, while in others there is a
disposition to leave it entirely to the
players themselves.
The new limit on salaries will, Of
necessity make obligatory on the part
OF the management some pairing down
in the monthly stipend, but not to
lsuch an extent that even the stars
need feel called upon to kick over the
traces. The players should not forget
that war time compensation is paid
only in times of war. The Tri-State
I is on a peace footing now. Besides the
players have heretofore been making
all the money, and the club owners
have been losing Il at the rate Of from
5000 and upward every year. The
owners ask for a season that will en-
able them to finish even once, just to
see how il feels.
But the salary limit is not going to
work such hardship on the players
as might be imagined at first blush.
Heretofore It has been customary for
the various Tri-State teams to carry
from fourteen to eighteen players. The
coming season win find most Of them
operating with twelve or thirteen In
stead Some clubs will carry but
three pitchers and one utility man.
preferably a catcher, after the FIRST
month. Thus, with fewer men, the
salaries can be fair and at the same
time the clubs can keep within the
limit

WEEK OF SPORT
AT COUNTRY RINK

The success of the Springs League
polo team has reached beyond local
fields and the crack team OF the East
the Maryland Ath etc team of Bale
timore, has offered them a game at
the Country Rink Tor next SATURDAY
night which ol'er was promptly ace
cepted. The A. A. G.. boys have q
most unique record. They have y .ay-
ed thirty mine games end never been
beaten and IN fact have never been In
danger of defeat.
Their great play and skill was DEM
onstrated before Wilmingtonians on
the occasion Of their recent game with
the ALL Wilmingtons in which the lat
ter was defeated by a score of 16 to
0 despite the fact that the local men
put up a good game. Since the advent
of these Baltimore men the local teams
have made marked improvement and
il is with no idea of being able to de-
feat them that the Country Rink man
agement accept the game but rather in
spirit of an object lesson. To assist in
meeting the expense of these eight
men the prices on next Saturday night
will be raised to 15c admission and
no passes will be honored on that night
Tomorrow night the Wilmingtons
will play a return engagement at the
Country Rink and an. exciting game is
promised as each team has won one
game and tied one.
On Thursday night the Fraternal
order of Eagles have secured the use
of the rink for the basketball game
between the local aerie and that OF
Camden, N. J.
Roller skating will be participated in
both before and after the game. To-
night the country rink will be closed
to enable all it's patrons to participate
in the masquerade at Eleventh Street
Rink.

WILMINGTON WON
AT BETHLEHEM

All-Wilmington roller polo team went
to Bethlehem, Pa, on Saturday night
and played the Coliseum team, of that
place, a fast game. Wilmington won
by a final score Of to o, although Cap
tain Henry's men drove in three goals,
one of which was not allowed and the
other was deducted because Of three
fouls being declared.
The Coliseum Rink at Bethlehem Is
a fine structure, being one of the best
and largest In the country. The Coli
scum team was fast, but not the equal
Of Wilmington in team work. The
local team comprised Henry, goal;
Dreamer and Coward. The goals for
Wilmington were Gagged by Dreamer
and Lenderman, the latter shooting in
two. The goal that was not allowed
entered the cage just as the referee
called a foul on a player, and the goal
was not allowed.
Wilmington gave a great exhibition
Of team work, and in the second half
Captain Henry left the goal cage and
took a position along the side at the
middle Of the floor, from where he
coached Dreamer, Lenderman and
Coward in passing the ball from one
10 another Wlmington's goal was not
threatened in the second half, but the
bethlehem boys put up strong de-
fensive game, which accounts for the
score not being higher on the part OF
Wilmington.
The fouls called on Wilmington were
due to rigid special rules, applying
only to that rink, which prohibited
stopping the ball with the skates and
also with lifting the club a foot high
from the floor
