TRI-STATE
MEETING NEAR
January Meeting will Discuss
Conditions From Every
View Point
JOHNSTOWN AND ALTOONA
SITUATION STILL BOTHERS

The annual meeting of the Tri-State
League, which is to be held in Harris
burg early in January, will be one Of
the most important sessions Of that
organization ever held. Much bust
ness Of Importance remains to be
transacted before the opening Of the
spring training season. Altoona and
Johnstown have yet to decide whether
they will remain in the league, the
club bonds are to be filed with Presi-
dent Carpenter, several rules are to
be reconsidered and other matters Of
importance discussed. The meeting
will be held at the Columbus hotel.
President Carpenter has not yet
announced the exact date for the
meeting, but wili do so within the
next two weeks SO that the club rep
resentatives may make their arrange
ments accordingly. The optional
agreement clause, adopted at the last
meeting of the league. will probably
be reconsidered and there is a chance
that the directors may decide to
abolish the agreement. When the
non-optional agreement clause was
done away with there was howl Of
protest from many quarters and now
1t is possible that it will be re-estab-
lished. This rule permits the clubs
to accept players with strings at
tached from leagues higher up.
Another thing that is due for some
serious consideration when the direc-
tors get together is the individual sal
airy limit of S170 a month, which has
held in the league for so long. Man
ayers are almost unanimous that bet
ter results could be obtained by abol-
ishing this rule. A club salary limit
is absolutely necessary but an individ-
ual limit is something that could just
as easily be dropped. If this step is
taken it will mean that the Tri-State
clubs HAY engage several first class
players at fair salaries and then-se-
cure a number of younger men whom
they may train and who arc willing to
work at low salaries.
OF greater interest at this time, how
ever. is the situation I'm Johnstown
and Altoona. Each club must file a
statement with President Carpenter
before January 1 setting forth con-
ditions and stating if the team intends
to remain i'm the league. Both cities
are doubtful and unless financial
affairs are Strengthened out within the
next two weeks there is a probability
of two vacancies in the Tri-State ranks
after all.

JONES AND COKE
SHINE AS THE STARS

Wilmington High got a 90 to s vic
tory over the Delaware College Sopho-
mores yesterday afternoon at the West
End Reading Room arena Delaware
had several star football warriors in
their lineup but even these did not
prevent High from scoring. Hamil, of
the Varsity football and basketball
teams, jumped center for the college
boys and played a rough, but steady
game. He scored two of the SOphs
three lone field goals and blanked
Wickersham. This is the first game
this season that Highs captain has
been whitewashed and Hamil should
be given credit for covering the To-
calls high scoring leader so nicely.
Wilmington started off with field
goal by Jones after a few minutes of
play. The cherry and white represen-
tatives scored eleven points in this
half while the best the rah, rah boys
could do was two pretty field goals
by the huge Hamil. High came back
strong in the second half and by the
accurate shooting of Jones and Coke,
and the rapid passing of the other

the sensational order and was the
longest tally of the day. Although
Wicky did not score, his floor work

High man, was used at forward but
failed to score. Matthews and Rim

History That Is History.

Fascinating as it is for it's present
day interest, however, Peking is even
richer in historic interest. And by
historic in China is not meant any
matter of the last half-hour, such as
Columbus discovery of America or
the landing at Plymouth Rock; these
things to the Chinaman are so mod
ern as to belong rather in the cate
CORY Of recent newspaper sensations.
If he wishes something historic, he
goes back three or four thousand
years. For example, friend of
mine, at a little social gathering
in New England some time ago,
heard a young Chinese student make
talk on his country. Incidentally
he was asked about particular Chi
nese custom. "Yes," he answered,
"thac is our custom now, since we
changed. But it has not always been
so. We did the other way up to four
or FIVE centuries before Christ
Whereupon the audience, amazed at
the utterly casual mention Of an
event two thousand years old as II
it were a happening Of yesterday,
roarcd with laughter, which the
young Chinaman was uttely unable
10 understand. When Christ was
born, Peking (or what Is now Pc
king, then bearing another name,)
having centuries before grown into
eminence, had been destroyed, re-
built, and was entering upon It's Sec
ond youth. About the time of the
last Caesars, it fell into the hands
Of the Tartars who gave place to
the Mongols after 1915. 1t was dur
ing the reign Of Mongol Emperor,
Kublai Khan, that Marco Polo visited
his capital, then called Cambulac.

discovered America, Nankou, buill
