This Time Lancaster Says
aeCkert HaS Violated the
Limit
TEAMS READY FOR
THE PRELIMINARY GAMES

State League practically organized for
the 1911 season. managers and club
owners are doing little aside from
watching the mails for the arrival of
delinquent contracts or responses to
notices announcing the time for play
ers to report Already charges are
being made against some clubs by
over-zealous fans and sporting writer's
TO the effect that the salary limit is be-
ing violated or that managers intend
to break the agreement. No club can
break the rule until after the champ
ionship season is begun. SO that such
charges are dispensed with before they
are made.
One Of those picked out for censure
is George w. Heckert, manager of the
Trenton club. In this respect the Lam

ert is said to be an open violator Of
the rules. That last year. the Intelli-
gencer says, Heckert paid Outfielder
Swayne S220 a month and that Sund-
helm intimates that he got over the
limit. If this be true, then II is the
duty of those who know of the facts to
bring them before President Carpen-
ter and demand thorough investiga-
fion.
In this city none Of the players will
receive more than the salary limit
allowed.
