PUT UP FIGHT
FOR CROMPTON
Wilmington Appeals to Ma
tiOnal Commission for Out
flIder Who Accepted Terms
CHICKS WILL SHOW IN
DOUBLE HEADERS THIS WEEK

The Wilmington Tri-state Club
owners began a fight today for George
Crompton. the outfelder, who played
in the Reading game with York yester-
day. On Monday Crompton accepted
terms to play with Wilmington, and
was to join the team today He went
to Reading yesterday, however, signed
a York contract ana got into the
game.
Under the National Commission
agreement a baseball player who ac-
cepts terms with a club is the property
of that club. The local owners wired
Secretary Farrell. of the National
Commission, on Monday that Cromp-
ton had accepted their terms and the
deal was approved. Mr.. Brown was
in communication with Mr. Farrell
again this morning and expects 20
have the matter disposed of to his
satisfaction before night
Should the Wilmington owners win
their fight for Crompton It is prooabls
that they will insist that Weigand re-
lease Frost, who signed with York al
ter acceptiong Wilmington's terms.
Local fans will see two double
headers this week, the first set being
with Altoona tomorrow afternoon and
the second with York on Saturday.
Myers and Baxter will do the pitch
ing for the Chicks in the Thursday
games.
President Carpenter spent tyester-
day with the Wilmington owners he
regretted that the season had been
hard one financially on many OF the
club owners, but felt that the coming
season Would be the best one IN the
history Of the league. He Is SUN OF
the opinion that Wilmington is the
hest baseball city on the circuit, ana
was glad to learn that the Whining
ton owners would hold their iran
fchise another year. -.
Despite reports 10 the contrary u
is likely that Mr.. Carpenter viii con-
tinue as president of the league next
wear. He has held the league To-
gether during its most critical years
and. as a majority of the club owners
favor him. he will likely be chosen
the leader again While here yes
terday Mr.. Carpenter remarked that
despite esWilmingtons poor showing IN
the league race the club has nlea
fewer complaints with him than any
club in the league.

against Champion Jack Johnson. is
the general opinion here following the
negro's defeat OF "Confessor Jack
O'Brien at the Twentieth Century
Club. Had Langford and his man
ager, Joe Woodman, so willed IL.
O'Brien probably would have been put
out In the first round. But Sam
evidently believed that the big crowd
which paid top-notch prices to see the
meeting was entitled to run for its
money and he did not put much steam
behind his blows until the fourth
round
Langford tried out OBrien at the
start; discovered he had no steam In
the engine and deliberately toyed with
him. In the third, Sam rocked tha
Quakertown representative with
body punch. which lifted O'Brien clear
of his feet. From then on until
Charley White stopped the bout In the
early part OF the nth Langford
whaled OBrien as he pleased
