NEW SCHEDULE
MAY COME
AFTER MEETING

While not officially announced, it Is
said there will be a special meeting
of the Tri-State League called at an
early date to take up questions Of i'm
portance and to rearrange the
schedule to allow each team to get its
share of the Sunday games to be
played at Tumbling Run, near Potts.
Vile.
There appears to be a difference
of opinion as to these Sunday games,
some Of the managers being under the
impression that only postponed games
Will be played there. This, naturally,
would cause dissatisfaction in towns
where bargain days are awaited, and
the Tri-State representatives are of
the opinion that it would be better to
rearrange the schedule, to increase
the number of games, and give each
team an opportunity to play Sunday
baseball.
Another question to come up for
consideration is the urging of closer
attention on the part Of umpires in
preventing trouble at baseball games.
Pitcher Horsey, at Harrisburg the
other day, swore at Umpire Crisham
and was not even reprimanded Later
Manager Coughlin called several OF
his players down in an emphatic
manner. using language that was Of
fensive to several patrons who heard
! him. To date. according to the opin-
ion of many Tri-State officials, the
umpirCs have failed to discipline
players for misconduct, and patrons
are complaining.
