ST. AIoysius Has Made Good
in fhe Season Just Ending

The crack St Aloysius team of st.
Paul's Roman Catholic Church, had a
most successful season on the dia-
mond this year This was the first
season this team has played together
and expects next season a still faster
team, which may enter the Catholic
League now under way for next sea-
son. IL may compose such teams as
st. Peters, New Castle. St Mary's, St
AIMS and other Catholic clubs of the
city, which were or have made good
on the diamond.
The st. Aloysius team started out
this season with a weak team, but
built itself up very fast and about
mid-season had one of the fastest
teams on the diamond. Reeder and
McCafferty, who have done the receiy-
ing most all season, have played gilt
edge ball behind the BAT, but the
throwing to base was not any TOO
good. Many a game has heen lost by
the inability to catch he runners
stealing when a hit meant a run II the
runner was not caught at one of the
three stations which help to compose
the diamond The pitching depart
men has been pretty fair this season
going at a good clip all season. Mon
aghan aud Donavan compose the
pitching department for St Aloysius
and have already trimmed the strong
st. Peters team of New Castle. In
the first game with New Castle Mon
aghan slung them over for st. Alloy
sius in this game, which was won by
ST Aloysius to 4. Donavan also has

TRI-STATE
WILL HOLD
Carpenter Denies That Any
Changes in Circuit are
Contemplated
DISCUSS NEW RULES
AT OCTOBER MEETING

Charles F. Carpenter, president of
the Tri-State League, declared that
there will be no changes in the or
ganization of which he is the head
next season, and denies statements to
the effect that one or more clubs on
the circuit are considering surrender
ing their franchises. The league lead
er goes even further when he says
that he has received no overtures from
any city outside the circuit wherein
request is made for a berth in the
league. In speaking of the matter
Mr Carpenter said:
"A number of Tri-State League cir
cult newspapers have sounded the
doom of that organization, particu-
larly so far as its western section Is
concerned, and several misleading
statements have been made which
would lead the fans to think that Tri-
State baseball had gone to the ever
lasting dogs. The general animad-
version has not escaped President
Carpenter, and his umpires, and meth
administration
cluded in the mudslinging.
when the Tri-State season started
last spring the eight clubs compris-
ing it had five years to remain in the
organization, and to be represented in
the annual meeting, at which time the
policy of the league is formulated
Four years yet remain for Altoona to
hold Tri-State ball, if they so desire,
and up to the presene time there had
been no note that would lead the cir
cult 10 understand that Altoona was
in the quit class.
The season has been a poor one,
financially, true. as It has not only in
nearly all the other Tri-State towns,
but I'm all the other class b minor
leagues throughout the United States.
Altoona will, however, be repre-
sented In the Tri-State next year, as
will Johnstown, If all signs hold true,
and although the managements may
change hands, the franchises will re-
main in the western half of the cir
cult as in the past"
President Carpenter has stated
that he has received absolutely no
intimation, official or otherwise, from
any of the Tri-State franchise holders
that they wish to toss up the sponge
Nor has he received any overtures
from other townssin Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. to break into the league.
Paterson, Elizabeth and Allentown
have been mentioned as towns that
would welcome Tri-State fran
chise.
II is true that the policy of the
Tri-State League may undergo a
change. A meeting Of the owners o
the various clubs win be held in Har.
-risburg in October. at which time the
salary limit as we'll as the individual
salary limit, which caused some dis.
satisfaction this year, will come uI
for dicussion The optional agreement
clause may be discussed, but it is moi
likely that it will be allowed to pre-.
vail in Tri-State ball unless it is with
some additional proyiso. that only VI
to a certain date can players be loan
ed to minor league clubs with the
proverbial string attached.

BAR CITY FROM
CAGE LEAGUE
Eastern Basket Ball ASSOCla-
tiOn Hold to Old Circuit
Another Year
PLAY TO BEGIN
ON NOVEMBER Is

Rejecting four applications for fran
chises the Eastern League basketball
magnates at last nights annual meet
ing in Philadelphia, decided to con-
tinue their circuit with the same
number of clubs as last winter, name
ly, Trenton, Reading, Camden, Grey
stock, Jasper and DeNeri, who were
champions. The clubs which applied
for franchises were Wilmington, Lam
caster. Burlington and Germantown.
Judging from the enthusiasm dis
played at the meeting indications
point to a most promising season.
Every club posted half Of its guaran-
tee money of good faith and also voted
to start the season on November 10, a
week earlier than last fall. The
schedule will remain the same as last
year, 40 games at home and the same
number away, ending the season about
March Is, 1912.
Another move was in adopting the
nightly schedule whereby there Will
practically be but one game played
on each night OF the week. Camden
will be at home on Wednesday, Jas
per-, Thursday; Greystock, Friday,
and DeNeri and Reading on Satur-
days. The Trenton club will alternate
on either Monday and Thursday night
The holiday dates will be equally di-
vided between the clubs.

In the All-Wilmington League the
start of the season saw several teams
calling themselves winners. Ashley.
under Billy Tinsman, had found a
star by the name OF Robinson, and the
pennant would surely float from the
suburb of suburbs. He wasn't no
talked about beauty either, for he
just set the league on fire, taking
many games by his mastery pitching
and powerful batting. But he was
called away, and without him the
team seemed lost A couple Of pitch
ers went to their rescue, but none
seemed to stay long enough 10 do

Local pride was handed another
blow in the Inter City League. For
years local and Chester teams have
argued the point and played game
after game. never being able to def
nitely settle the matter, and each
city continued to boast of the best
teams The admittance of Gas Com
pany to the County League in 1910
greatly strengthened the local league,
and had a series been played immedi-
ately after last seasons close no one
doubts that Gas Company would have
been the victor.
After such a season as 1910. is it
any wonder that when the often dis
cussed question, of Wilmington and
Chester teams combining In one
league was taken up last spring that
it was easier to reach a decision?
Chester must have been the aggres-
sor, for they allowed local man to
be president, the then Mayor J. Har-
vey Spruance being chosen.
At the start Seaboard and dupont
looked the strongest as Gas Com
pany had resolved to get along with
a few less stars. This proved true,
both Seaboard and DUPONT going neck
to neck for a while.
Gas Company, however, was a dis
appointment, losing frequently. But
not to be outdone Dave Zearfoss got
busy and showed a little energy ana
money into the air and they started
TO get out of bottom.
But, alas, grave mistake had
been made. Instead of playing on
Tri-State off days. this league was
bucking Tri-State. Everybody knows
~ ~
State was not winning, most of their
games were close and the crowds
went across the bridge Instead OF
playing to 1000 and $500 as in past
years. DUPONT and Gas Company
played to. from 200 to 500. This
was a. great setback. and both local
teams felt that they were up against
a financial famine, and luckily for our
Chester fans the hopes mysterious
ly disappeared
On the other hand Chester. es-
pecially Seaboard. was gathering in |
the best men, We don't want to be /
called a moor loser but Chester can
give its thanks to the man that made
the Tri-State blunder, for with local
teams of 1910 caliber, i'm the race
Seaboard would not have had an
easy time winning the league honor.
Nevertheless. il lis true. Chester
Produced the pennant winner and VIII
nington must be satisfied with Gas
Company as the second team.
Two local players should receive
special mention They are ICY"

George Barr is the other man who
also deserves credit for his earnest
ness and good work in the box, while
with "a losing team George should |
have won more games than his
records show
In closing, we will remind Chester,
that they were not playing the 1910
caliber Wilmington teams when they
stacked up against "our boys" this
yefr. We proht by mistakes. If du-
Pont and Gas Company are in an
other big league next year different
