ANNOUNCE 1T MARCH 6

Tri-State representatives fought for
six hours over a schedule at the Har-
risburg meeting yesterday, and Il was
nearly midnight when the meeting
adjourned, and then had not settled all
questions. The meeting didn't start
until after 4 o'clock. but it was early
in the afternoon when the fight over
the schedule started. In the Opinion of
the representatives from York ana
Wilmington. il was the worst schedule
President Carpenter has ever offered.
According TO r. Kister Free, OF
York, Johnstown was the only club
that was favored. York was given
Harrisburg on two holidays and
switched on Labor Day to JOhnstown,
on which date York would nave at
least 10000 visitors attending the
State Firemen's Convention. York was
scheduled to open at home May 3, play
at Harrisburg May and then go on
the road for sixteen days. On their re-
turn York had eighteen games at
home.
Harrisburg. Trenton and Lancaster
had similar conditions aud there were
frequent dates which required teams
TO jump on a single series.
After a prolonged discussion It was
agreed to open the season May 3, and
close September 6 and, If agreeable
to all clubs, to have llS games, to in
clude six double headers on the last
six Saturdays of the season. President
Carpenter will revise the schedule and
make it public on March 6.
Trenton will pair with Wilmington,
opening at Wilmington May and at
Trenton on May 4. Trenton will play
two games at Wilmington May 80 and
two at Trenton July and Labor Day
b Lancaster will alternate with Reading
/ and Altoona with Johnstown. The long
trips and series at home were broken
up, and zen and twelve games will be
the limit
Cassidy Won His Point.
Wilmington was officially admitted
to the League, but il was some time
before Pete Cassidy was admitted tC
the meeting. A league rule prohibits
any manager from participating il
meetings Cassidy is manager anl
owner. and not until he threatened L
throw up the franchise did he get in.
Reading was the only club rot rep
resented. Il was said that Williams
port financiers are negotiating for thu
Reading franchise. and that Thomai
Gray would manage the Reading team
which would remain at Reading an,
play at Lauers Park, and that owinl
to the fact that the deal has not beei
closed no representative was present
