OBJECTIONS
TO CARPENTER
Trl-State Owners Say PreSl-
dent Depends Too Much
On 0th5rS
GRAHAM s. RE TO
BIZ NEW LEADER

Some real steps toward liyc-wire
baseball arc expected at the meeting
of the Tri-State League representa-
lives at Hotel Windsor Philadelphia,
Tuesday. January 20, which will be a
continuation OF the adjourned annual
session at Harrisburg last Tuesday.
The trouble between the owners and
President Carpenter, causing nearly
the entire time to L spent by the
owners in trying to get Mr.. Carpoiter
to agree to terms for his retirement
blocked any planning for the coming
session at the meeting In Harrisburg.
Until the next session the owners Of
the various clubs will have met and
have decided on something definite.
There will beyond doubt be new
league president Should President
Carpenter remain at the head Of tho
league the Allentown and Harrisburg
clubs positively refuse 10 play an
other season. It is said that although
President Carpenter has made good
record in some respects while with
the league. he leaves many matters
70 be settled by the owners. The
York club requested him to take up
the matter of the deal with Scranton,
IN which Joe Knots was involved. and
through which York was TO have re-
coived 500. but Mr.. Carpenter re-
mained inactive. That and many 9TH
er matters, not only of the York club.
but every club In the league. have
ben left to be settled by the owners
rs best they can, Il is said.
The suggestion made some time ago
that the league be governed by an Of
hcial committee. composed OF three
sporting editors of Philadelphia. one
TO serve IN each Of the executive Of
fees OF the league. does not meet
with the approval OF the representa-
tiyes. IL is their idea that the league
matters would not run so smoothly
with tho job divided. They want but
one good man i'm the chair Most OF
the owners favor George NJ. Graham
for the presidency. Mr.. Graham is
the only strong candidate and 1t is
likely that he will be the next presi-
dent
While some OF the owners believe
that Mr.. Carpenters demand for ST.
500 to step out is. considering the fact
that he holds a contract at $1,000 un-
tll 1916, not altogeather unreasonable.
they declare that his his demand that
clubs give individual bonds for pay
mcnt is little too much. For Mr.
Carpenter TO accept a note for the
81 1900 one owners says puts him in
the position Of sharing the fortunes
Of the club owners, who. II thoy gave
the bonds, would have to pay even II
the league failed. Mr.. Carpenter he
says, has been receiving his salary
though the clubs have been losing
money so that Il would be only fair
for him to let his chance OF gettinc
the bonus he demands rest on the fate
of the league this year.
