NO "FARMINC
In TRI-STATE
Carpenter Refers to Harris
burg Criticism Concerning
Wilmington and Reading
PRESIDENT WILL SEE
THAT RULE IS ENFORCED

There has been considerable talk in
Harrisburg about the practice Of Phil
adelphia and other big league clubs
farming out players to Tristate clubs,
most of il by people who did not
know what they were talking about.
When it was called TO President Car
penter's attention, he said;
"The rules of the Tri-State permit
the playing of farmed players for the
first thirty days of the season. The
time limit will, therefore, not expire
until June .. II is a good rule, for this
reason: II frequently prevents a club
from purchasing a lemon
"A big league manager will get hold
of a promising young player in the
fall or winter and take him on the
spring training trip He finds the
youngster not fast enough for the big
show. so he farms him out TO some
minor league team The minor league
manager has thirty days TO try out the
player. If the youngster is Of no use
to him, back he goes to the club hold
ing titleto him. Thus hundreds Of dol
lars are saved In buying men of un-
known quantity. There is no necessity
for a minor league manager TO take a
chance TO get a phenom.
There will be no farmed players in
the Tri-State after the 30-day limit ex-
pires It's too risky In the first place,
the club violating the rule Is liable "a
a fine Of $500, but more important is
the clause that enables the president
to throw out all games that have been
won wherein farmed players partici-
pated. Moreover, the rules of the ma
jor leagues provide a penalty for farm
ing players. and managers cannot at
ford to violate them.
There will be no trouble in the Tri-
State over farmed players
The criticism was directed toward
Wilmington and Reading because Bax-
ter and Cannell had been signed by
these clubs II developed that both
Baxter and Cannell have been bought
outright by the clubs. Mr. Carpenters
investigation proved this and so the
matter drops
