Carpenter Want Facts Before

SquabbIe

President Charles r. Carpenter, Of
the Tri- State league, has issued a
statement in which he denies the
rumor that five clubs Of the league
have asked him TO make an investiga-
ton into the alleged breaking of the
salary limit by other teams, and says
that unless such charges arc proven
he can do nothing in the matter He
also speaks OF the umpire question
and appeals 10 club owners to refrain
from paying the fines imposed by
umpiros on players as the practice
tends to develop a careless attitude
among the men on the diamond. The
statement follows:

team has lost two Of its best men on ac-
count OF deficiency in their studies, the
two teams will be about evenly balanced
Prior TO the Varsity game. the followers
Of the Blue and Gold quintet will have a
chance to witness a contest OF unusual
amusement. The Senior team will play a
team selected from the members Of the
Faculty. No man is allowed to play on
the team of the "Calss of 1910" who has
ever played basketball In any contest at
Delaware College. The Faculty team will
be composed OF members Of the instruct
ing staff of the college that do not take
part in any athletics; consequently the
oddity of the members of the two teams
are evidence of the amusing contest that
will take place.
This is the last game that the Varsity
team win play on the Delaware court

clusively the fact that to maintain a

thing if for no other reason than as q
matter Of economic policy.

the legal cost of all cases, whether
