Carpenter Thinks Trl-State

Would Cheaper Sport
LANCASTER SIGNS
UP PITCHER NORRIS

President Charles f. Carpenter is
not in favor Of the plan tor double
heading the Saturday games for the
last six weeks of the Tri-State sea-
son.
ION the contrary. am opposed to
such a scheme" he declared yester-
day "The holiday games and the
usual double-headers necessitated by
rainy weather make additional Sat
urday games useless. Besides it
cheapens the regular games, for,
while double-headers may draw good
crowds for both games, it's influence

ceding or succeeding games. Another
point is that none Of the clubs will
have a sufficient number of players
to warrant the added strain of con-
tinued double Saturday games"
Manager Hogan, Of the Lancaster
team, has signed Pitcher William Nor
ris, of Camden, n. J. He is considered
a speedy player Last season, i'm an
exciting exhibition game, Lancaster
secured only two hits off him. Hor-
gan has also received the signed con-
tract of Shortstop Earl Topham, OF

Sixteen Major League Clubs
Represent Enormous Finan-
Cial Interests
BIG DIVIDENDS ARE
REPORTED BY OWNERS

These sixteen club owners of the
National and American Leagues repre-
sent large investments in real estate
and baseball plans, and they control
the services Of the best players In the
profession. They are the Governors Of
the national game. inasmuch as athey
elect the members of the national
commission-Johnso Lynch and
Herrmann-and also pay handsome
salaries to Johnson and Lynch as
rival league presidents.
IL Is almost impossible for outside
capitalists TO break into this charmed
circle as purchasers OF clubs unless
losing propositions are suddenly
thrown upon the market, as IN the
cases Of the st. Louis Americans and
the Boston Nationals, both tail-enders
last season. Even then big money
must be paid for a majority Of the
stock The control of the Boston Ma
tionals was recently secured by Will
liam Hepburn Russell and others for
a triie more than 100000. But the
Gibbs property is still motgaged for
S250,000, and the present weak COLI
dltion of the team does not indicate a
/ profitable season.
President r. l.. Hedges, Of the st.
Louis Browns, almost sold the bulk Of
I the stock and the big arena in the
Mound City last December as a syndi-
cate agreed to buy the Hedge shares.
/ There was a hitch however. and the
deal was called OF. but another sale
may he effected this week.
IL is estimated that the franchise
held by President John T. Brush, own
er Of the Giants. could not be pur-
chased for less than $1,000 600. The

half that amount in the last Ave years
