EIGHT CLUBS
In TRI-STATE
NEXT SEASON
This Is the Desire Of the
Present Franchise
Holders
WILMINGTON OWNERS
OFFER THEIR FRANCHISE

Atlantic City will have a team in
the Tri-state league next season is
the empathic statement made by
Presient John H. Myers, of the Sea-
shore Buds. This statement comes
contrary to the expectations Of many
OF the circuit fans who did not think
the hackers OF the Buds" would want
to risk another season in the league
after finishing with financial loss in
the campaign Just closing. Local
capital will be injected into the or
Ranization. said Mr. Myers. and Il is
to be entirely resort enterprise.
One-third Of the stock is already
pledged and this alone insures the
return of the team. The club has
gone back a good sum, but, In view
o. what the team did nothing else
could be expected. His plan for next
season is hold early spring training
at inlet park and start off with arous-
ing local interest.
1t seems almost certain there will
be the eight-club Tri-state circuit
next season. The heads of each club
now in the league. except Whining
ton, have discussed Il with much
favor. Many of them say INC
more money in a six club lea
que" Reading baseball magnates ap.
pear anxious 10 get that city into
the Tri-State again. Reading was in
II last year and "Pretzsltown" fandom
claims that Tri-State ball IS all
right. Lancaster is another club that
apparently wants 10 make another
try in the league. Organized baseball
has been missed since the present
Atlantic City team left the Red Rose
city, and now baseball men are plan
ming to have another there. next
season.
Thomas NJ. Brown and Peter F. Cas-
sidy, owners Of the local franchise
believe in an eight-club circuit, but
they do not expect 10 continue in the
game. Their franchise is for sale AS
the owners want the club to stay here
a movement is under way 10 organize
a stock company to take over the
franchise.

LYNCH SAYS
PHILLIES WIN
Umpire Brennan'S Decision Is
Reversed by National
League Head
DECLARES OFFICIAL
EXCEEDED AUTHORITY

NEW YORK, Sept S.-Reversing
the decision of Umpire Brennan,
President Thomas ]. Lynch. Of the
National League, has announced that
the game Of Saturday, August 30, be-
tween the New York and Philadel-
phia clubs will count as a victory for
the Philadelphia team.
Umpire Brennant awarded the con-
test to the Giants by a 9-to-o score
when the Philadelphia management
was unable TO clear a section of the
bleachers back Of centre field, claim
ing that the moving spectators we're
handicap TO the New York batters.
The decision nearly precipiated a
riot and the members of the New
York Club were afforded police pro-
lection on their way to the railroad
station.
President Lynch in his decision
states that Umpire Brennan exceeded
his authority in declaring the game
forfeited to the New York Club and
formally awards II to the Philadel-
/ phia team by a score of s TO 6, which
was the score by which the Phillies
led in the ninth inning when the
game was stopped by the umpire
The decision Of the league execu-
/ tive IS as follows
"In all cases where protest is lodg-
ed against the result of a champion
ship game the umpire's statement Of
/ fact is OF most importance, and
whenever an umpire I'm making a de-
cision is supported by the rules Of
the game I will back him to the limit.
"The official report of Umpire
/ Brennan covering the game forfeited
to New York in Philadelphia August
30 shows that neither club had COM
planned of existing conditions regard
ing the spectators, and that the UNI
pire plainly went beyond his author
lity I'm declaring a forfeiture for
which action he had neither the pro-
lection Of the regular rules nor Of
any special ground rule.
"The umpire was clearly at fault
in not having the game played to a
finish.
"As Mr.. Brennan's ruling Is with
out precedent | waive all technical
procedure in ruling on this protest in
order that a prompt disposition Of
the affair may be had and the best
interests of the game may be served.

mans statement. / am compelled to
set aside his decision forfeiting this
game to New York by 9 to o. The
game will be counted In the records

The score when said game was stop
ped in the ninth inning through er-
ror OF the umpire"
A warrant charging William Bren-
nan, the umpire with assault and bat
, terry and melting 10 riot was issued
| in Philadelphia on the complaint OF
Henry +. Russell, superintendent OF
the Art Club of Philadelphia, who
claims that he was injured by the
umpire during the disorder which fol-
lowed the forfeiture TO New York OF
the game.
Russell charges that Brennan, ir
his efforts to get out of the park
pummeled him and knocked him tc

THEIR HEADQUARTERS
Takoma Park az Center for Meetings
Expected to Be Retained d-0ther-
Cities Bid.
EMPLOYEES, FUND is RAISED

One Of the most important moves for
the future welfare of the several thousand
employees of the Seventh-Day Adventist
denomination has made, was that In con-
nectiQn with the sustentation fund, which
occupied a good deal of the opening days
session OF the fall council of tbs general
and North American division conferences
in the Washington Foreign Mission Semi
nary at Takoma Park.
This fund is to be permanent, and VIII
be for the support of sick and aged
laborers and the widows and children OF
laborers who had been employed on
missionary basis In various conferences
Throughout the world, mission fields, and
institutions.
Those who will receive benefits from
this fund will be ordained and licensed
preachers, physicians. nurses. presidents
of all educational institutions and teach
ers, teachers in the church schools or
primary schools. missionary colporteurs,
and other employees.
The trend of the days remarks was to
the effect that the headquarters for this
organization should remain in Takoma
Park A committee consisting OF the
officers of the General and North Ameri-
can Division Conferences, and eight other
members was appointed to further con-
slider the question and make recommen-
dations at the meeting today. College
View. Neb.; Kansas City. Mo-, and South
Bend, Ind, are other cities that were
considered as places for headquarters. A
memorial was read from the Commercial
Club Of College View offering a plot Of
ground for the building, and also a do
nation OF 5000 II headquarters would be
located there.

PLACE FOR HENS TO SCRATCH
Gathered When Perfectly Dry
Dat Straw Is Cheap.

There are number of different ma
terials which furnish an excellent
place for the hens to scratch in, says
a writer in the Poultry Journal.
Leaves are probably the stuff most
used by the small poultrymen. These
are good if gathered when perfectly
dry. They must be put into the pens
every few days, because the poultry
will break them into dust by their
continual scratching l ind oat straw
about as cheap in the long run, be-
cause it lasts quite while and furn-
ishes some feed if, fed before thresh-
ing.
Some OF my neighbors have tried
feeding buckwheat as a scratching
material and feed combined. Buck
wheat is too fattening and should be
used only occasionally. Corn husks
make an excellent scratching material.
Shredded or cut corn fodder does very
well if there is nothing else or hand.
/ do not like any form of meadow
grass or swale for scratching ma
terial because it mats down too much
when cut and not enough when not
cut
