be required February 1 for the league
bond.
President Free stated that he would
be satisfied if the team would split
even this year. He objects. however,
to few men assuming the losses be-
cause Of the failure of those who bene-
fit from the game to lend their sup
port. A personal canvass will be
made by the directors among the busi-
ness men, and if they are unsuccess-
ful in their efforts they will dispose
of the club to the best advantage and

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK. Del, Jan. 12.-Snow
and ice covered streets are
furnishing much sport for the
local horsemen. This afternoon Levy
Courtman Daniel Thompson and
George H. Huber have made a match
between Della March to be driven by
Herman r. Tyson and Baby Lou,
driven by Harry Wilson. The match
Will be raced about 3 o'clock and is
for the best in heats. A roast
pig dinner is at stake.
The largest crowd of the year was
out yesterday afternoon to see the

HIGH AFTER
THIS GAME, TOO
Meet NOrriStOwn Here But
Locals Do Not Fear Fast
Five

High School will try their ability
once more on a foreign floor tomor-
row afternoon. They will leave the
p, b. and w. railroad at 1927 o'clocio
for Norristown and intend to play the
game of their career. The gloom
over the loss Of the Freshmen game
has vanished and everyone is eager
to secure another opportunity to
wipe out their recent defeat The
Pennsylvania boys have a fast team
this season and are trimming all
comers. This does not affect the
locals in the least, as they are anx-
ious to win their first victory away
from home. They lost to Chester at
Chester, short time ago, but as they
have since had a chance to develop
team work they should make a better
showing tomorrow.
The High football team was tied
by Norristown on Thanksgiving Dav.
and this is another incentive. AZ
large crowd Of rooters will accom-
pany Wicky's proteges and a royal
time is predicted.
Jones and Coke will govern the
forward positions and Wickersham
will take care of the center station.
Rimlinger will act as one guard and
Blickle and Matthews will alternate
at the other. Polly and the big boy
are having a close contest for the
fifth position and neither seems to
have anything on the other. Both
are fast close sticking men and will
most likely divide the position from
now on. Horty, Daley or Mccall will
make the seventh Inan. The contest
is sure to be a hard one and which
ever team wins will have to step
lively.

OTHER TEAMS ARE
PICKING THEIR LEADERS

Now that the Tri-State meeting has
been held, a number of clubs on the
Carpenter circuit are preparing to
elect managers Harrisburg was the
first to take che step when the direc-
tors of the Senators chose George
Cockiil co-manager with Coughlin of
last years Reading championship
team.
In Trenton the greatest interest is
centered in the question "Who will
manage the Tigers?" Some declare
George Heckert will again be the
leader, others say the Yorker will be
ousted At all events. Heckert seems
to be I'm charge there. He has re-
leased Pitcher Dugan and is going
ahead with other arrangements for
next season Foxy" George has
plans laid for the acquisition Of sew
eral new players and states that he
will have the reins of government in
his own hands when the gong rings.
In JohnstoWn a new man may have
to be chosen to replace Bert Conn.
The former York players is not dis
satisfied with his berth there because
he does not like the city or the fans,
but for the reason that he is too far
away from his other business inter-
ests which center in the eastern sec
tion of the state. Conn is said TO
have asked for his release so that he
may sign with some one of the clubs
on this end of the circuit. Conn Is
an excellent leader and knows base
ball.
In Wilmington pete" Cassidy has
not finally decided whether to man
age the team himself or secure a
manager for this year. Up until this
time a playing manager has not been
obtained but the owners have not
given up hope of getting one
In Reading Coughlin viii be the
manager. This leaves Lancaster Tren-
ton. Johnstown, Altoona and York TO
make selections.

absence of the Kerr boys. Hafford, Du-
gan. Girard. Davis. Quinlin and Peters
must be filed This will be no small
lob. for every one of those men were

in Philadelphia and by playing in Will
mington could look after his business
better. Johnstown is not willing to
part with Conn, though, and may
frame up some deal in order to keep
him.
The uncertainty attached to the
Lancaster and Altoona clubs is caus-
ing some anxiety among the league
members. Lancaster will doubtless be
q farm for some major league club
next season, but if this falls through
efforts will be made to sell out. There
are enough applicants for franchises
however to insure the perpetuatiOn of
the league.
Altoona in Doubt.
Since the league has given Altoona
until February / to qualify as a mem
ber Of the league, every effort is be-
ing made to keep the present team m
the town. The owners have made their
position plain. The obligations amount
to $500, $4,000 of which rests with
the 35 stockholders, while S4500 be-
longs to four officers of the associa-
tion.
They are willing to sell out if the
new buyers will assume these obliga-
tions. They are only asked to be
permitted to quit even. They might
