STILL IN CIRCUIT
 BUT WITHOUT A HOME
New Britain Team 10 Finish Pres
 ent Season on ths Road.

At a meeting of the owners and rep- resentatives of the baseball teams of the Eastern association, which was held in the Hotel Garde in New Haven last night, New Britain was wiped off the map" as far as professional city, although the New Britain aggre- gation will still hold out in the league until the end of the season.
 After two hours and a half session, it was decided by the team owners to transfer all games originally scheduled to be played in New Britain, some twelve in number, 10 the cities Of visiting teams, and the new idea will go into effect immediately. For this afternoon Springfield was sched- Uled to meet New Britain in New Britain, but the game has been trans ferred to Springfield. The plan was adopted without dissenting vote.
 In addition to that, it was also de. cided that the New Britain club should take one-half of the gross receipts for the rest of the season while playing in other cities. and that the Eastern association will pay the back salaries of the New Britain players. Owner scinski, however, filed a bond, agree ing to pay the salaries of the players ot the New Britain team from this date on, and reimburse the league for the unpaid salaries.
 Until the meeting last night, itdid not seem as though any way could be found for New Britain to stay in the league, after the hopes of owner Scinski to raise money by popular sub scription fell through. As last re- sort owner Scinski, it is said, doped, cut a plan whereby he thought he would be able to save the New Britain club from a disastrous wreck, and that plan he submitted to the other club owners and to President O'Rourke last night.
 MT. Scinski proposed that he be al- lowed to transfer all of the rest of his home games. as he figured that with the assurance of one-half of the total receipts and the possibilities of little extra at times in some of the cities where the attendance is always good, he would be able to meet all of his expenses for the rest of the season. It was learned that Owner Scinski inti- mated to several club owners his proposition, and that several gave him little, if any, encouragement on acc count of the fact that they themselves had hard sledding because of the small attendance. Before the meeting owner Scinski had but one hope, and that hope was the plan stated above which he doped out himself. He was by no means confident before the meeting that he could have the plan pull through, and after the session where it was clearly shown that every baseball magnate in attendance was ready and willing to give Scinski aF helping hand, which in some cases was slightly detrimental to them, owner Scinski was highly pleased W ith the developments
 There is at present A matter of about sl 800 in back salary that MT. Sc;nski still owes in addition to other hills amounting to about s200. It is believed that the league in paying the back salaries of the New Britain team will be paid back next year, when in sll probability a better team will be put on the field and renewed interest in the game built up.
 The meeting was held in New Haven because of the fact that most of the teams were playing in the vicinity of the Elm city. At the meet ing were President O'Rourke, who, held the proxy of the New Haven club, William Murphy and Lee Fohl, of Waterbury, Eugene McCapn, of New London; Daniel O'Neil of Hartford: William F.. Carey, of Springfield, and Bugh Reddy of Bridgeport. Scinski was at the meeting in company with
