pan the coming season than ever be.
iOre IN the history of the town.
Much interest is centored in the
scheouled meeting of the Tri-County
League that is to be held here md
latter part of this month. ITnles3
some change Is made In the cirouit
the matter of preparing the scbeduIe
ior TINS league will be small matter
as all that will be necessary will he
TO simply reverse the schedule "A
last season. This means that unIes1
change is made i'm the circuit the
clubs that opened the season away
from home last year will omen mn Al
nome this year the same clubs beina
paired.
Manager Ellison is already at WORK
getting together his team Some of tba
rulings made by the Tri-Ccuntv
League az the annual meeting IN Elk.
ton last week make il necessary foi
Newark to get some new players. Una
der the ruling of the league Newark
IS giving as it's territorv
New Castle County. outside ol
Wilmington. New Castle and
Delaware City. but cannot 20 ou.l
side of the county for players. Thi3
means that Howarth aud Rankin. tho
two Chester. ,,ln Vnro ,.-l.., ..r...a A.
outfield last season cannot be used
this year. Another player that tn 3
ruling bars is Scott Gregg. who was
recognized as the star first basemau
of the league. Although Gregg is a
Newark boy he works and lives in
Chester now and will not be allowed
to play. The loss OF Gregg will Id
much more of a handicap TO the local
club than the loss of both Howarth
and Rankin. Billy" Marsoy. although
employed in Chester. will be allowed
to play here and will be seen back Of
the bat again. The reason for allow
ing Marsey to Newark is the fact that
he has helped to keep the league to-
gether and is very popular throughout
the circuit Jake Hogan will again
do most of the pitching for Newark
and with good support. should keep
the local club in the race all tho
time

team play at home on the days that tho
lr-County League club is away So that
the same grounds can bc used by both
leagues. This club has large amount
of material TO pick a team from, and
practice win be started IN short time.
While it is expected il win again be-
"a six club circuit, this has not been
settled. and it is possible that Provi-
dencc, Newark. Iron llil and Appleton
will compose the league. making but
four clubs. IL win bc decided AT the
meeting ON April 4 Just how the circuit
