THIS MINISTER
MISSED THE MARK

The minister OF large parish, says
Tit-Bits, had for some time been much
troubled by the scandalous gossip that
seemed to be occupying the minds OF
portion Of his flock. and, after exercising
a great amount Of tact and perseverance,
at last succeeded in running TO earth
the originator Of most Of the settlements
society SANDER.
The guilty one was a regular attendant
at the school house services. and the MIN
lister knew that should he take him 70
task personally and individually he would
Inevitably lose a sheep-albeit a black
one; so he decided 10 sermonize h,m.
Accordingly, a special discourse was
prepared and the following Sunday after
noon literally hurled at the offending
member as he sat on a desk I'm the cor
ner OF the schoolroom.
Everybody present appeared to fully
appreciate the situation. and at the close
Of the service departed quietly and
thoughtfully for home.
All except the black sheep who remark

GET DELAWARE
OUT OF SLUMP
Coaches Of Blue And Gold
Team See Improvement in
the Squad

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, Del. Nov. 12-The Della
ware football coaches yesterday start
ed the final preparation for the West
ern Maryland game, which is the best
game on the Blue and Gold schedule.
The coaches worked the varsity harder
than on any Thursday since the early
season. At the start the regulars
were lined up against scrub team,
strengthened by several varsity sub
stitutes, and Captain Rothrock was
instructed to run through his whole
list of plays. AS each play was run,
Coach McAvoy called attention TO the
faults which were so glaringly evident
In Saturdays game, and every effort
was put forward to remedy them.
Special attention was paid to the inter-
ference. Backs and linemen alike had
IL thoroughly drilled into them that
they must take a man on every play
and keep him out Of the fray.
The players evidently realize that
their showing was poor. and they went
into practice with a vim that has been
lacking since the Haverford game
There were no changes from the orr
ginal line-up OF the Washington game,
except that Alillington took his old
place on the varsity; but every man
has been given to understand that
there are substitutes as good as they
are, and now il is a question with
! practically every man on the team to
hustle to hold his job.
George Chambers ran into more hard
luck during the scrimmage, bruislng
his knee so severely that he had 70
be helped to his room, and tonight he
is barely able to get around. Chambers
has suffered a series Of accidents this
/ fall, which have kept him out OF the
| game more than half the time. II is
hoped that the ex-Brown preparatory
man will be in shape to play against
Western Maryland on Saturday, for
Attix has a bad shoulder which may
cause trouble any moment, and there
is no other center
A 25-minute scrimmage concluded
the afternoons work. Both varsity
and scrub gained ground freely, especi-
ally on end runs, but the only touch
down Of the day was made by Captain
Rothrock after a forward pass from
Haley.
The coaches realize the Methodists
strength, and are exerting every ef-
fort TO prevent a defeat at the hands
of the Marylanders. On the field to-
day were MacAvoy. Lawson, Wright
Wingett and Stewart, each watching
the men under his particular care, and
trying to remedy all defects in play
Saturdays awful defeat has helped
considerably in this line. for II GER.
tainly has knocked all the over-conn.
dence out Of the men.
1t is practically certain that Haley
will start the game at quarterback
but the coaches are nursing Bice very
carefully, as they are we'll aware thai
he is all but the big mans equal
The game on Saturday Will start a.
2S0 o'clock sharp in order that tn,
spectators can catch the 4.22 train OF
the B and o. 20 Wilmington.

TRI-STATE BALL;
ORIGIN OF CIRCUIT
Project Resulted From InfOr-
NAL Talk at Altoona

Baseball fans throughout the Tri-
state circuit do not generally know
that the league was tho outcome Of an
informal talk between Charles F. Car
penter. now president of the organiza-
ton, and George w. Heckert. Of Al
toona, formerly manager OF the Penn
Park, York and Harrisburg teams. The
idea is said to have originated with
Carpenter.
After completing his education IN the
public schools OF Altoona, his home
city, Carpenter mastered shorthand
and stenography and secured a posi-
tion IN the office Of the Pennsylvania
railroad freight agent at that place as
stenosrapher. His rise was rapid and
within a short time he was promoted
10 chief clerk in the freight office.
This path Of life did not altogether
please the young man, however, and
his interest in sports led him to pur-
chase a large cigar store In Altoona
After making success in that busi-
ness, he became possessed Of the base
ball fever. and as Altoona had been
out OF the professional baseball ranks
for a number OF years. the time was
ripe for the organization OF fast
team. with this end in view Car
penter Bert Leopold, W. Frank
Vaughn and Rudy Rocket together
formed the Altoona team in the spring
Of 1902 to play independent ball. Car
penter was elected manager and made
the club a success from the beginning.
and continued throughout 1908.
II was at this time that George W.
Heckert was giving the fans good
baseball with his Penn Park club. In
the fall OF 1903 Heckert was in AL
toona with Penn Park. He and Car
penter agreed that the conditions did
not warrant continuing independent
ball another year and they were go
| ing 20 quit. Clubs broke their en-
gagoments. players were stolen and.
ali IN all, It was an unstable business
/ Then and there the Tri-State waa
evolved.
It was agreed that Carpenter should
write q letter calling a meeting or
representatives OF such towns as they
concluded would Join the new league
and help Il along. Heckert was 10
oflciate as secretary. The meeting
was held I'm Harrisburg and the Tri-
state League became an assured fact,
with W. c. Farnsworth as president.
and a good circuit Of clubs. II Is an
evidence OF good judgment in select
ing the cities. when II is known that
every one showed up at the meeting
ready 10 begin business.
The Tri-State was an outlaw. II
went into the market and bought and
coaxed players from all leagues Farms
worth was succeeded by Theodore
Creamer as president. Meantime, IN
1905, Carpenter dropped out as man
arer OF the Altoona club.
In January. 1905. he was elected
president. secretary and treasurer Of
the league. Creamer declining re-
election.
Negotiations were opened with Carr,
Hermann, Pat Powers and Secretar
. Farrell, with the result that In Jant
ary, 1907, the Tri-State was admitte
10 the big baseball family. II WI
a master stroke and largely due
