TRI-STATE
WILL BE 0. X.
WITH SIX CLUBS

It has been said that Tri-state ball
would either make or break this sea-
son. Il should make, and make good.
according TO the dope OF prominent
fan.
With six good clubs in its makeup.
every ono OF them an a sound flnan-
cial basis. clubs that promise to go
through the season to its end, there Is
no reason why there should not be the
best OF ball over the circuit The
league, for the first time In years, Is
facing a season where Il looks as
though Il would finish up just as
strong as at the start There Will be
no worry over any dead wood clubs
dragging on
Some fans we're naturally put out
by the prospects of six club league,
but when Il comes 10 real baseball
being furnished by real clubs with
real backing, as is expected i'm the
coming season a doesn't look so bad,
after all. Rivalry will be more in
tense. there will be more and better
arranged home games These quail
ties apply especially to the old league
riynls. Wilmington and Trenton. and
IL the frequent visits OF Bert Conn
and his Tigers don't start something
that viii be fine for the Wilmington
fans to look at and talk about then
nothing VIII.
The loss of Reading and Chester
perhaps will come to be looked upon
as the best thing. after a while lt is
certainly obvious that a league OF six
clubs with a well defined purpose Is
worth just about so per cent. more
than one of eight clubs, two of which
are on the ragged edge OF nowhere
and whining all the while about tho
deplorable situations In their towns.
Matters look now as though there
would be some great baseball IN the
Tri-State after all
The scramble has begun for the
players reverting from the Reading
and Chester teams Manager Jackson
expects 10 have finger IN this pie
and will doubtless land several stars.
Harrisburg has declared In favor OF
increasing the salary limit from $500
TO slS09. Il ls also reported thal
Reading would make proposluon 20
remain in the league. and that haston
was anxious for Tri-State baseball
Chester remains silent AZ Reading
Business Manager Jake Weitzel puts
the blame for the loss Of Tri-State ball
on the supporters who failed to re-
lieve him OF his stock. taking II on
business standpoint A dispatch IRON
the Reading Telegram says:
Jacob L. Weitzel returned from th'
Tri-state meeting on Saturday morn
ing and said that Reading would d.
without baseball, likely for good an'
all so far as the Tri-State Is concern

HARD TO GET
FACTS ABOUT
LUMBER co.

PHILADELPHIA Pa, March H.
7. c. Rome. a member of the Iowa
State Legislature, and a stockholder
OF the International Lumber & De-
yelopment Company. who testified
last week that he had made two trips
to the company's plantation in Mexico
and that after he had made reports
they were changed by officers Of the
company, was recalled to the stand
yesterday and cross-examined by
James Scarlett, chief counsel for the
defense.
The defendants. John r. Markley
and Isaiah B. Miller promoters: and
William H. Armstrong, Jr., Colonel
A. G. Stewart and Charles X. Nc
Mahon, officers Of the company, are
being tried by the Government on a
charge that they conspired to de-
fraud thousands out of upward of &c.
100000, by Illegal use of the mails.
The trial is before Judge Wilmer, in
the United States District Court.
Mr.. Scarlet attempted to make
Rome admit that the changes were
merely corrections, but the witness
said that this was not the case. IN
citing instances he said that state
ment in his original report read, 1T
required the proceeds OF eighty-five
shares of stock for organization pur-
poses." and that when the report was
printed the word proceeds" had been
striken out In another paragraph, ac-
cording to the witness, the word
"tramway" was changed to "train-
way
In answer to question as to
whether he had experienced difficulty
in getting information, the witness
testified that in a number of instances
he could not obtain facts he deemed
necessary.
when I asked for details regarding
the contract between the company
and Markley and Miller to develop the
plantation | was told Il would be bet
ter not to disseminate that informa-
ton among the stockholders. I was
informed that It was a question OF nc
particular interest TO the stockhOld-
ers."
Asked why he didn't file a minority
report when he found that the report
was not to his liking. the witness said
he had intended to but that he wasn't
afforded the opportunity.
what objection did you have to the
report?"
"I did not like its tone"
"Then why did you allow the report
to go to stockholders without a pro.
test? You were in honor bound to give
the stockholders a true report weren'
your
Il understood, replied the witness
"that proof of the report would b'
delivered to me to be verified. neyei
received such a proof. and did no
know that the report had been pub
lished until one was sent me-
Mr.. Rome concluded that he hat
protested to the company, but no at
tention was paid to it.
