SOME TRI-STATE GOSSIP
AROUND THE CIRCUIT

That tho old rivalry between York
and Harrisburg will again be re-estab-
lished this year is shown by the atti-
tude Of the various newspapers in the
two towns. This is what the Harris
burg Patriot has to say about the
youngsters secured by Heckert in his
recent deal with the Albany club, IL
which he traded Lefty Lloyd:
"Cevelesltie. the Albany outfielder.
who was secured by Hecker OF York
with Pitcher Mcintyre for Lefty
Lloyd did not show up well with the
Senators last season, his work in the
outfield being we'll enough, but his
stick ability being very weak. 1t was
rumored early last season that Covy
was to ride the toboggan but he man
aged to stick ON and finish the season.
A few weeks ago, it was declared that
his days as a Senator were numbered
and that Tamsett was ready to talk
trade with any manager who had a
good pitcher in return for the out
fielder and a pitcher Mcintyre is
young and may show up better in the
Tri-State than he did with Albany.
.
Edward T. Gribbon sent back his
unsigned contract to Bert Conn,
saying he couldn't play for less money.
$3.50 isn't enough, he says, for him to
make both ends meet and so he
won't play. Strange how people differ.
AT the same time Heckert comes out
with statement that S150 is enough
money for a ball player, inasmuch as
he takes no chances. as do the back
ers of the team. They get their board
paid, their care fare paid and the best
Of attention and don't have to pay for
their doctors when they are hurt and
work an hour and half day.
Rather soft, ehi-Reading Herald.
We are afraid our good friend the
Herald, is barking up the wrong tree.
Gribbon's contract does not come any
way near the $3.50 mark, and If it did,
we believe he would be in hurry to
afiiX his j. II. In fact, If his contract
reached S125, he probably would be
satisfied
Manager George Cockill of the Har-
risburg Tri-State team, announces
that he has signed another youngster
to line up with the Senators, a lad
named Voltz, who played good ball
last summer for the Alexandria, Pa,
Independent club. The recruit is a
pitcher of note and il is said shines
even brighter in the outfield than in
the box.
Cockill will try him in both posi-
tions and place him where he makes
good. From all accounts Voltz is a
heavy hitter. averaging at least two
bingles in all his games last season.
The hole left by Maisel might be filled
by this youngster. for Cocldll is Of the
opinion that he will develop into a
great outhelder. CockiiI has heard
from all of last years players except
Pitcher owen and Emerson, who is in
California.
Cocklls trip to Philadelphia last
week was not without fruit and he eX-
poets to make a couple of fine deals
I'm the OFF cast major league material.
Cockill puts an end to all stories Of
Pitcher John Fox being a hold out.
He says that the big twirler is as good
as welded to Harrisburg for the next
season at least and will be back in fine
form for the opening of the season.
Fox has recommended a first class
outfelder and Cockill expects a signed
contract at any time.-Harrisburg Pa
