FASTER BASEBALL
IN THE TRI-STATE
Farming Of Big League Re
cruitS Will Improve
Game
TEAM MANAGERS
SIGNING ROCKIES

From present Indications there will be
more fast young players on teams in
the Tri-State League this season than
ever before. Il appears that each of the
managers in the Graham organization
has established connections with some
big league club for the purpose of OBJ
tanning material that is good but can
iind no place in the big circuit this sea
son.
In past years the Iri-State has never
been much of farm league. Few
players, owned by big league clubs, have
found places on Tri-State teams. but
now that Graham is president fans look
forward to seeing baseball that is faster
The game will unquestionably be bet
ter with men of that calibre composing
the various clubs.
There is a general impression among
fans that the 1'ri-State win furnish bet
ter baseball this coming season than the
New York State League. There has al
WAYS been some jealousy of each other
between the two organizations and up
until now the Empire State circuit has
provided the better article of ball. Glanc-
ing over the roster of players signed by
the teams in each league indicates that
the Tri- State has collected host Of
youngsters and grabbed off great many
of the New York State Leagues stars
OF last season. Inc managers over the
line don't have a very imposing array
of talent. There are a great many ''has
beens' and veterans long ago played out
IN their line-ups.
Every manager in the Tri-State will
have at his disposal one OF more recruits
from the majors. However, it is not on
these farm products Tri-State managers
will depend Never in the history of the
Tri.State has there been so much activ.

II may be taken that one Pat New

whether he will have a job in the
near future. Newman has the honor
of having set the new 1914 style for

now appears that McGraw may be-
come the owner Of the Houston club
and In that case Newman undoubt-
edly has bright prospects ahead.
McGraw is said to have offered the
present owners Of the club a certain
price any time they want TO sell and
expects to have a confab with them
before leaving Houston. Whether
