COMPLAIN OF
TRI-STATE RULE
Many Owners Want Higher
Salary Limit and Other
Things Next Year
ANNUAL MEETING
PROMISES TO BE LIVELY

Although Charles F. Carpenter,
president of the Tri-State League
says the York Dispatch. is optimistic
about the 1912 season, some Of the
clubs in the circuit look forward to
a stormy season of the directors when
the annual league meeting is held in
Harrisburg next January AT the
time numerous complaints will be
fled and protests made. Some clubs
even intimate that they will throw
up their. franchises unless radical
changes are made in the league
rules.
The club and individual salary
limits are declared by many to be
too low; others say the prohibition
of the use of "farmed" players is de-
trimental to the best interests Of the
league, and there are numerous other
knocks" being registered from time
to time. There is a widespread be-
lief among the club owners and fans
alike that the losses sustained dur
ing the past year have been due prin-
cipally to the tight" policy obtaining
] in the league.
Many persons declare that II the
clubs had been permitted TO accept
players with strings attached they
would have made more money, put
up a better article of ball and in the
end finished with better results. AS
it was only such men as could be
bought outright or dug up out OF
the dirt, so to speak, were used. This
brought a lot of inexperienced play
ers into the ranks of which few were
of a class promising any results, TO-
| gether with a certain percentage of
'has-beens," or men who failed tc
make good in better organizations.
Fans on the Tri-State circuit are
above the article of bush-league base
ball they have put up with for the
past two or three years. They have
suffered with poor teams while the
club owners made money The real
/ fan is an ardent booster--he likes to
boost. When he knocks it is because
he finds 1t impossible TO boost The
Tri-State fan cannot help but re-
member the days when the clubs on
this circuit were as strong as those
now comprising the Eastern League
and in some instances even the
American or National Leagues Ther
baseball paid in York, Wilmington
Harrisburg. Williamsport. Altoona
and other towns. why not now?'
asks the fan.
All of these questions and Others
will come up for consideration at tn
league meeting and everything point
toward an interesting session. TIL
meeting will probably be held earl
in the month of January at the Co
lumbus Hotel, Harrisburg.

PENNANT RACE ALMOST OVER.
Giants Need Only One More Victory
10 Secure Championship.

BY winning yesterdays game from
Philadelphia the New York team made
Il impossible for their Chicago rivals
to do better than cause a tie az the
seasons end OF the National League
pennant race. Had Chicago lost 10. in
stead or won from St Louis the
Giants title TO the flag would have
been clinched last night.
New York now needs one more vic
tory to insure them the league cham
pionship, and have 10 more games to
,play. Philadelphia's defeat set back
that team four points and made their
task Of crowding Pittsburg out Of third
place harder by that much.

ST. ALOYSIUS
ENDS CHAMPION
Wins Honor After Playing
Consistent Ball Against
Fastest Boy Teams
DONOVAN PROVES
HIMSELF PITCHING STAR

st. Aloysius has closed their base
ball season, with record of only four
games lost: One to Rookwood, one to
Wildell and two to Chesley. They have
defeated such teams as Chesley, Will
dell. Rookwood, South Side, Wynnneld,
Bellevue, Penn A c., Olivet, Brandy
wine and St. Peters of New Castle.
The most interesting games were
with st. Peters and Chesley, the teams
being very evenly matched. The
team consisted of the following play
ers: Manager Fairy. Captain Reader,
Monaghan. McClafferty, Wells, Lynch,
Duffy, Murphy. Hance, Rimlinger,
Mulherin, Campbell, Forrest, Swift
Donovan, Long and Kenney.
The catcher's position was held by
McClafferty and Reader Lynch. The
pitching was done entirely by Dono-
van, Monaghan and Fairy. Monaghan
showed effects of hard work in the
middle of the season and the mound
was left to Donovan, who by Won
derful work kept st. Aloysius oppo-
nent from hitting at will and from
scoring many runs. Fairy showed up
very poorly and was dropped before
any damage had been done.
Donovan finished the season re-
markably strong. He allowed few hits
and struck out many men, but lived
up to his name in being wild
Shortstop was held by Long and
Little Ed. Mulherin, the boys fighting
an even fight for the honors. Mon
aghan hung to first and was the all
star first baseman of the town. Man
ager Fairy played second in fine form.
having very few errors. Swift and
Forrest held down third in big league
style.
The outfeld consisted of McClaf-
ferty, Campbell and Rimlinger. While
There were many subn in Wells Hance,
Duffy. Lynch, Murphy and Kenney.
Tom O'Toole was mascot.
In the middle Of the season tht
Chesley team, having beaten ST
Aloysius twice, claimed the cit,
championship and disbanded. A ma
,Jority OF their own and remainder o
Rookwood's players continued play
ing Early in September they cam
back strong and were champions. 81
tAloysius asked for a game or serie
for a last chance for the champion
iship honors, and after a great deal @
ftalkingC received a series of thre

Meanwhile Chesley played all N
leasy teams they could. while g
fAloysius went on with the schedul,
land then took a rest, as the pitchin
staff was crippled. Donovan havin
pitched two games against st. Peter
on Labor Day.
Chesley did not practice. so sur
