SUCCESSFUL CAREERS
FOR MANY YOUNG MEN

Present activities in the Tri-State
League. tending to show that the or
ganizing is regaining all its oldtime
vigor and pose. recall what a power
that Carpenter circuit has been IN
baseball since Il was first launched.
Perhaps more ball players have gain
ed fame in their profession by using
the Tri-State as stepping stone than
;n any other way and a majority of
the men have remained where they
landed in that way, too.
Some of those players are still in
the big leagues. others have outlived
their period of usefulness and are re-
Hiring while some others are just pre-
pairing 10 break in. Graduates of the
lTri-State system have helped many
a big league club to win a pennant-
some even worlds championships, as
Frank Baker did for Connie Mack last
fall. These Tri-State men have been
appreciated, too, and the Carpenter
circuit is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from interior Can
ada to the Gulf Of Mexico as a league
that turns out good material.

his time. who ever left the Tri-State
