A TRI-STATER
Cassidy Comes Home Without
Signing Up Little BaIti-
more Catcher
PEACHES In GAME
HERE WITH ALBANY

Peter r. Cassidy, manager of the
Wilmington Tri-State baseball team,
got home today from Baltimore, where
he had been looking for Eastern
League material for his Wilmington
team. Pete did not bring any con-
tracts with him, although earlier
stories from Baltimore announced
that he would get at least Callahan,
catcher, from the big league. Pete
says the material offered him is good,
but he could not see his way clear to
sign up Callahan at this time. Con-
sideration will be given the matter
later, Pete said. Meanwhile the Will
mington manager will hunt up three
Southern League players who have
been recommended to him. They are
two pitchers and an infielder. Pete
says these additions are all that the
team owners want and If they land
the three men they are after the team
will be fast enough.
Pete is going ahead booking pre-
season games. In addition to the
Baltimore Wilmington game I'm Balti-
more on Good Friday, Pete has en-
gagged Albany, Of the New York State
League, for his opening practice game
here on Saturday, April Is. The AL
bany team will stop off while going
South TO timber up.

months ago and the fans were feel
ing rather blue.

content
The only thing that is worrying the
Johnstowners Is Can we get the old
men on tho club inside the salary
limit?"
Like all tho rest ot us-Johnstown

Lancaster is negotiating for the
purchase of Snake Deal from Syra-
cuse.
Marty Hogan is figuring out that
with Deal on first. Sundheim, second
Hooper, short and Frank Haftord on
third he will have some infeld.
Or It may be Hooper at second and
Sundheim at short. The hitting quail
tiles look good.
It's Just as sweet as ever on the
hitting outlook OF tho Trentons.
Heckert has a fine start for a clut
as ever a Tri-State manager had.
Harrisburg will lose Pitcher Gas
kill.
The Prince will not go north again

1 use
Wish the good old balmy spring wal
here right now.
