AN APPRECIATION
OF w. ]. KIDD

A friend OF William j. Kidd sends THE
EVENING JOURNAL. the following sp-
preclation Of the young man who was
shot to death on Sunday:
"He was greatly interested in local
sporting circles having been connected
with several amateur baseball and foot
ball teams. The public knew him better as
a polo player. When interest Ia that game
was renewed several years ago "Bin" be-
came an earnest 'fan" and soon began
playing He started his polo career with
the Hilltop team. While on It he showed
such ability and energy that he became
connected with the big Ones" and while
with them his playing was always up to
standard. Among the teams he PLAYED
with were the Springs, and PAGERS. beside
several OF the picked teams" Some times
the games showed extra rough playing
but "Bin" could always be found using
clean. honest methods. Even on foreign
floors. where players sometime feel they
can do acts, which they would not do on
homo floors "Bnr was the same player
that played at the wilmlngtn Rink
The writer was a spectator at a game
this summer where the above was plainly
illustrated.

he was the least bit better than himself

TRI-STATE BALL
WILL BE FAST
Youngsters Signed up Will
Make Effort to 60
Higher

Baseball fans throughout the rri-state
circuit are mostly Of the opinion that the
class Of baseball looked for this season
will not be up to the standard of the past
two seasons. This is an erroneous idea.
While It is true that most of the stars
have passed out those that are coming arc
going to shine some. How often has It
been said that Tri-State baseball was
equal to the game played in higher class
leagues In other minor leagues in lower
class than the Tri-State Il is said the
game is equal TO that played by the Tri-
state 1t is from these leagues most of the
Tri-State players for 1910 were secured.
Simply because there has been banker
ing after youngsters is no reason for be-
lieving that the Tri-State game will be of
a lower standard. These youngsters are
not boys and many OF them could make a
hit I'm the big leagues IL they had a
chance. Ball players must get a start
somewhere and they find the Tri-State
league a good place to get their school,
ing. II the Tri-State players can jump to
big leagues they must play good base
ban So there you are. It is going to be a
fast game.
Johnstovn was the last Tri-state team
20 lineup a manager, but that is nothing
against the Johnnies. They have a good
man in J. Allie Blough and he has not
been asleep. Furthermore on the Johns.
town reserve list are a number Of good
men. a manager will hurry things along
but II is a safe bet that Allie Blough coulc
put a good team in the field tomorrow II

this year. Altoona's new manager Hank
Ramsey, has been quite active but he is
not having the best OF the Johnstown az
IN the Flood city also.
The Mountaineers have big list from
which to select team and there is every
reason to believe that Hank Ramsey Will
give Altoona the best baseball Altoona has
ever had. Bill Coughlln at wiIlamsport,
is also lining up his men and he starts on
with some good ones. Wiiliamsport so far
lacks only in pitchers hut as Tom Gray

aries Lancaster Reading and Harrisburg
are ready 10 begin work. Each of these
teams have signed up a list OF promising
players.
some inquiries have been received re-
gardlng the effect of President Ly.nch's
ultimatum on umpires will have in the
Tri-state league. President Carpenter has
always advocated an umpire system that
would allow the game to be played satis-
factorily and there will DO no change this
season. Umplres in the Tri-State will have
as much authority as those in the Ma
tional league. There will be no kicking
I from the benches, and when an umpire
is summoned by an entire team some
one is going to get a heavy fine The cap
tain Is the man to make the complaint
Another move in the right direction this
season is an order 70 umplres to see that
any spectator insulting a visiting player
is promptly removed.
