The Gulf OF Mexico begins where
the United States leaves off, on the
south and is LOO miles long. Its en-
trance to the Atlantic ocean is 500
miles wide from the tip Of Florida to
the end Of Yucatan but the Island OF
Cuba acts as stopper and divides this
entrance into two straits However.

miles wide, a moderately skilful skip

The Trenton club has been allowed

State ball, practically free of any cost,
but even with this concession the
losses have been tremendous as the
patronage has been extremely small
Trenton was admitted to the Tri-
State League in 1907. The first season
paid well. The organization was then
undoubtedly one of the fastest minor
leagues in the country. High salaries
were paid and the players were among
the best outside the majors.
Manager John Carney held the
reigns over the Tigers at the start and
was able to land them at the top of
the first division. The race that year
was the best in the history of the or
ganization and large crowds attended
all the games.

TRENTON MEN QUIT
BECAUSE Of LOSSES
Tri-State Magnates Hear Bad
News at the Meeting
Yesterday
Special to The Telegraph

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 19. - An
announcement that Trenton hackers
had decided to throw up the sponge
and quit the Tri-State game came like
a thunderbolt from a clear sky at the
meeting held here yesterday, and 1T
was some time before the magnates
weer able to get down to business in
the effort to fill the vacancy.
1t was subsequently stated that
Trenton is not yet wholly lost to the
Tri-State and that there may be a re-
organization of the Trenton Athletic
Association, O number of new hackers
having expressed desire to get into
the game IL a change is made. Tren-
ton is heavily involved in debt and
the directors are of the opinion that
unless there is a reorganization there
is little use in trying to make baseball
a success in Trenton.
Outside of the presentation of the
schedule by President George Graham,
little else than routine business was
transacted. The salary question was
not touched. Because of the condi-
tions at Trenton, and because some of
the managers want a few dates
changed, the schedule will not be an
nounced until the next meeting, which
may be held in Harrisburg.
Old-time Rivalry
It was decided to start the season
May and close September 7, Labor
Day, the schedule also being adopted
which calls for 10 games, and has
been so arranged as to insure an even
division of games at home and abroad.
Interest in the schedule naturally
centers in the holidays. For the pres
ent season the clubs are coupled as
follows: Trenton and Wilmington.
York and Harrisburg and Reading and
Allentown.
On Decoration Day and July Fourth
these teams will double up, playing in
one town in the morning and in the
other in the afternoon. This arrange
ment will not be maintained on Labor
Day, when Allentown will play at Will
mington, Trenton at York and Har-
risburg at Reading. The following
delegates were present at the session:
George Stallman, York: William
Morris. Trenton: DR.. A. II. Balliett,
Allentown; William S. Tunis, Harris
burg; John Myers, Reading, and Peter
Cassidy, Wilmington.
The meeting also marked the intro

Trenton a Failure;
May Reorganize

Trenton, n. J., Feb. 19.-Financial
difficulties have caused the directors
and stockholders of the Trenton Tri-
State baseball club to throw up the
franchise. This action was taken at
a meeting of the directors yesterday.

the Tri-State meeting in Philadelphia
and made the official announcement
OF the action by the promoters of the
Trenton team.
Between 100000 and s25, 900 has

this city in 1907, and with absolutely
no encouragement forthcoming, there
was nothing for the stockholders to
do but discontinue their efforts to
