II will not be positively known
whether or no Altoona and Johnstown
will be represented in the Tri-State
League next season until the annual
meeting OF the league In Harrisburg
early next month.
President Charles F. Carpenter, in
discussing the matter the other day
said:
1T is highly probable that there
will be change, but the league is
powerless to do anything until the
annual meeting. Then all the cities
are expected 80 qualify by manifest
ing their intention Of putting a club
In the field. Those cities which do
not qualify will be dropped.
Things do not look favorable at
Altoona. During the past three
months nothing has been done here.
The officers of the club cannot get
enough stockholders to attend meet
ing to take action one way or another
In Johnstown conditions are no bet
ter. Each club is In arrears in claims
and unless these are paid by the
first OF the year the franchises may
be taken away by the Association OF
Organized Baseball Clubs. A rule &c
that effect was passed by the Sar
Antonio meeting and can be enforced
"In the event that Altoona and
Johnstown drop out it will be a mat
ter for the league to decide which
cities desiring membership shall b'
admitted ! have no doubt but thai tw'
good substitutes could be found I'm th'
