in the Tristate League meeting to BE-
held in Harrisburg Friday. scheduled to
start at pm. This will be the annual
meeting of the Tristate and President
Carpenter will preside.
The most important business to come I'D
at the Friday meeting will be the question
of circuit. Every city now in the league
will be represented, likewise Wilmington
and Allentown Indications are that
Johnstown will not be a bic to come back.
but reports received here from Williams
port say that Secretary Thomas Gray has
secured enough financial backing to keep
the team there another year. providing
the salary limit is cut down.
President Carpenter has given notice
to the Johnstown hackers to show some
thing certain at this meeting or be ready
to turn over the players and franchise TO
the league.
On the question of a. salary limit the
majority of the representatives favor
reduction to 81 100 a month. and the
wiping out of the S115 individual limit.
Johnstown. il deciding to remain in the
league, favors an 81, 800 a month limit.
Other changes will be to increase the
game guarantee TO 500; changing the
rules prohibiting the farming of payers
so there can be no violations as were
reported last season; and fixing a limit
on league expenses. an impression pr
vailing that the Tristate was too eK-
