TRI-STATE
FANS ANXIOUS
There is Much Speculation
Over Probable Change in
the Circuit
ALTOONA STILL
In DOUBTFUL CLASS

Baseball fans throughout the Tri-
State League are speculating as to
the probable makeup of the circuit
next summer. There is more than or
dinary interest in the session of the
directors in Harrisburg, on next Tues
day, when the fate of the organization
will probably be determined aud ali
wild rumors about change of policy
and circuit will be either confirmed
or made to look ridiculous President
Carpenter is not saying much, either
are any Of the club owners. All seem
to have adopted the mum" attitude
and consequently have the fans up in
the air"
The Altoona fans, who are all at
sea regarding their teams chances Of
remaining i'm the league, are guessing
and guessing, but no one seems to
know Just what will be done i'm that
city. Even the directors disclaim any
knowledge of probable action. Every
one in the Mountain City is asking
whether or not there will be "A team
this year and If so. who is to be the
owner or manager. At present there
is no indication that Altoona will be
back i'm the fold but now since Johns
possibility that arrangements will be
made to keep the Beauts on the cir
cult also.
Commencing on the league condition
the Harrisburg Patriot had this to say
In a recent issue:
"The baseball situation in Tri-State
League territory is bordering upon the
serious. There is a great dealjof talk
about plans for next season; OF pros
pective changes in the circuit and of
new policies but of actual Accomplish
mont there is practically nothing. Even
here in Harrisburg. where the work Of
reorganization began long before the
close of-last season. the situation
seems TO be hanging in the air. For
the past several seasons interest in
Tri-State baseball has been declining,
and much viii have TO be done, and
speedily. in every city concerned If the
league is TO Ne continued.
There is just as much interest in
the game 0f baseball I'm Tri-State cit
les as ever, but there is not the same
confidence and interest in the con-
tests, put ups by the clubs of that
league, with result that financial as
well as moral support is conspicuous
" lacking. Those who have taken
charge of baseball affairs in the vari-
GUS towns should seek the cause of
this attitude and then apply the proper
remedy or remedies.
Last season the race was too one
sided Reading found It easy TO beat
any of the opposing clubs and all too
frequently the men of that team fail
ed TO extend themselves. The base
ball public likes to see the players do
their best, winning or losing. Anoth-
er thing that may have contributed TO
the lack Of popularity of Tri-State
ball is the politics in the league man
agement. Doubtless there are other
causes. Whatever they are they
should be sought out and eliminated
for the sport-loying public in every
town i'm the circuit is anxious to see
the game put upon a plane which will
inspire confidence. Once this is done
healthy rivalry between the cities will
be renewed and the sport will become
sef-sustaining."
