TRI.STATE HOLDS MEETING

The annual meeting OF the Tri-
State Baseball League yesterday was
unproductive of results because of
the inability Of club owners to agree
with President Charles F. Carpenter
regarding terms of his retirement.
Another meeting will be held in Phila-
delphia on January 20. Carpenter
agreed to cancel his contract, which
has two years at $1,000 year to run,
in consideration of $500, but no
agreement could be reached as to the
manner of guaranteeing the payment.
An effort to get together will be made
between now and the date of the
adjourned meeting. No applications
for membership in the league were
received, but baseball in the Tri-State
was assured by the owners, whether
it is a six or eight-club circuit. Lam
cater and Easton may be added to
the circuit, and the Atlantic City
franchise be moved to Reading If
present plans are carried out.
