General dissatisfaction prevails over the

from having baseball on Thursday and
Saturday. II IS claimed that the commit

WILLIAMSPORT
SPEAKS OUT SOME
Not Content to be Counted
Out Of the Tri-State
Circuit

1t has been predicted that the days Of
the Tr-State league are numbered
that is that there will be some towns
now included in the eague that will
not be next seasonal plssdiction of a
new league. According to the dope
sters, Williamsport is to be dropped
out of the Tri-State because of the
long distance jump from other Tri-
State towns, and will go into a new
league to be formed. But the Williams
port Sun does not take that view. 1t
says:
And so they have it fixed? Well, it
may be said right here that If there is
"a Tri-State league next year Williams
port will be in it. And that's on good
authority. We haven't heard anything
heer yet about the people being tired of
the sport-and the team we have is
delivering the real kind of ball. The
truth of the matter is there are GER
tain couple Of clubs in the league that
have always been sour on the Will
Transport crowd; one especially and it
wouldn't take a thousand guesses to
tell, either-would like to have seen
us out Of it a couple of years ago, for
the simple reason that they themselves
could then have had everything their
own way. just about clear sailing. Then
the circuit-bringing in Wilkesbarre and
Binghamton as examples of a compact
circuit. Picture a jump from Johns
town or Altoona to Willkesbarre as a
time saver over Williamsport. Well.
it's a little too mich off color. Another
thing, Williamsport has always, and
continues to. draw better attendance
in any and all the other Tri-S State towns
than any other one club on the circuit
does when away from home. As to
supporting baseball in bad towns-how
much more money has Williamsport
taken out Of Altoona than the Beauts
have taken out of Billtown? Why. the
500 guarantee is always paid They
get it when they come here and we
get 1t when we go there. And there
you are. And have the other clubs
never taken more than the guarantee
out Of this city? We think they have.
We want to say that for it's size there
isn't better city on the circuit for
baseball than Williamsport. The New
York State league people appear to
want to consolidate with the Tri- State
and they're counting on old Willie
Vile to furnish one Of the stops.
