TRENTON OUT OF IRI-STATE
Owner Morris Says Franchise Win Be
Transferred to Phillips
burg, N. J.

Trenton, Feb. s.-Trenton is not to
have Trl-State baseball this year. At
least this positive declaration is based
on statement from William J. Morris,
the sole owner OF the local franchise,
who admits that the Trenton franchise
will be transferred to Phillipsburg.
Negotiations for the transfer are prac-
tieally completed and ii is thought that
official announcement to this effect will
be made at the annual meeting of the
Tri~State League at Philadelphia, next
week.
Mr.. Morris, of course, will likely re-
tain the franchise rights. but COM
pany of Eastou and Phillipsburg men
will operate the club at the latter
place.
He has been to both Phillipsburg and
Easton quite frequently of late anu per-
feeted plans for the removal. There is
no park at Easton and as Phillipsburg
is real, live. up-to.date sporting town,
at least so far as baseball is concerned,
Mr.. Morris has decided it wise TO make
change.

tive mansion last night between Gov
ernor Brumbaugh and the Legislative

sion from to $50 on Monday even
ing and discussed freely and at length
the provisions of a fair and certain
workmen s compensation act. 1t was
unanimously agreed that this session
should pass such law.
"The question of child labor law
was also under discussion and its pro-
visions only partly considered, due to
the fact that the committee was obliged
to return for the evening sessions of
the Legislature.
'These and other bills will be ia
ken up in detail at subsequent meet
ings.'
Those at the conference, besides the
Governor, were Attorney General Brown,

tee, and these members of the Joint
Committee: Senators McNichol, Crow
and Sproul and Representatives Henry
1. Wilson, of Tioga; William H. viii
son, of Philadelphia, and George w.

ing" it was introduced in the Senate
