Plans For Tri- County Baseball Season

The managers of the Tri-County Base
Ball League met at Havre de Grace ON
Saturday. Those present were BERT
Everson, of Newark; Fred H. Leffier, OF
Elkton; C. C. Krouse of Havre de
Grace; Dr. Charles Kreite, of Aberdeen;
Arnold C. Cooke, of Elk Mills, and Harry
c. Davis, of Oxford.
Organization was effected by the cleo
tion of the following officers:
President, j. d. Moore, Oxford; Vice.
President, Thomas Kay, Elk Mills; Sec
retary, Fred H. LETTER. Elkton; Treas
urer, Arnold C. Cooke, Elk Mills
1t was decided that the circuit COM
prise six clubs instead of eight, as here
tofore. They are: Havre de Grace,
Aberdeen. Oxford, Newark, Elk Mills,
Elkton.
This action was taken as a result OF
representatives from North East and
Port Deposit falling to appear at the
meeting and the desire for shorter
season.
The season will open May 10 and close
September /, each team to play 20
games instead of 2S, as played last sea-
son. The only day on which two games
are to be played is July 4.
A college player will not be allowed to
participate in Tri-County League games
unless he is a resident of the territory
allotted his team.
No player will be allowed to receive
for his services any salary, except neces-
sary expenses, but If the club has any
money remaining at the end of the sea-
son it may be divided equally among the
players,
No person will be allowed to play on
any of the teams who has received a
salary for his services during the sea-
son. For violation of this rule the Of
Il ndins team shall be fined So
The new rules require all teams tc de-
posit with the treasurer $25 as guar
antee fund, and in case Of this amount
being used up in fines an equal amount
must be deposited.
The salary of the umpire was fixed at
81 a game, Sc for double-neader and
80 if he visits grounds when rain pre-
vents a game.
Owing to the difficulty oc casioned last
year by the presidents lack of author
ity to decide the contest between Port
Deposit and Aberdeen for the pennant,
the following rule was adopted
"All grievances, either with the man
ayers or players, shall be filed with
the president and secretary, and the is
sue shall be decided by the president
within ten days after notification"
When double headers are played the
home team shall pay the WISHING team
SIS and provide dinner.
All tie and postponed games must be
played off on the grounds upon which
they were scheduled to be played on the
day of the next scheduled game OF the
same teams upon those grounds.
The matter of territory for players will
be arranged at a later meeting.

The yellow mallnea girl promises to

is so fieeting that longer period Of
popularity can scarcely be promised

that the tint of yellow between cert

vogue, and is denoted on costumes by
maine net accessories.

about the handle of her parasol with
three or four large white artificial

with this name.
A word more is in order about the
scarves of this fiimsy. slimsy mate
rial. They are made of the widest
goods in the tint to be had, and are
cut very long, full two yards and a
half, sometimes three yards. The ends
are cut straight and left unhemmed,
and the scarf is worn over the
shoulders or within the cloak in as
fluffy mass as possible. not crushed
down. The result is a rather ethereal,

Flesh tints are also popular t,r
these scarves, and some other shades
are used as we'll. The dampness OF
sea nights is fatal to their lovelineOs
but for those elsewhere they are
wearable and charming.

are fastened up high at the neck to
allow for cold weather.
Draped coats are liked for dress
wear; simple, straight cut garments
for general utility purposes.
Coat chains are being made OF
