LEAGUE SHAKY
IS NOW RUMOR
May Not Play After July 4
Unless the Business
Improves

Rumors reached this city to-day
from the Farrell circuit that the New
York State league would not be do
ing business after July 4. Tom
Downley who left Harrisburg yester-
day for his home in Bridgeport said
before his departure that similar re-
ports have been circulating over the
circuit for some time.
According to managers who have
played Harrisburg and based on
newspaper reports. the attendance
has not been up to the standard.
The teams have depended upon Sun
day baseball to keep the game go
ing. Rain and cold weather have
been a factor in cutting down profits
along this line. Yesterday it was
announced that Wilkes Barre would
not be able to play Sunday baseball.
This has put a big crimp in ex-
pectations of hackers in that city.
Close friends of the manager, ]. c.
Calhoun says he has intimated that
without Sunday baseball 1t would be
foolish to continue the game. When
minor organizations would have a
tough road to travel to keep going
after the first call of the draft men,
ana troops were on the move.
Cook Makes Denial
Captain Doc Cook, who is still in
this city, denied that he and Downey
were responsible for the stand taken
by the players. He said Ramsey and
Cooper were the committee repre-
sentlng the players. He also denied
that he and Downey had been paid
in full and said they were free
agents and would sign with any team
taking them. Referring to the
rumors regarding a break up of the
league about July 4, Cook said:
This is the belief over the circuit.
If it was not the case why did the
league offer to guarantee salaries
Tor only one month. 1t was not
alone the refusal of President Far
rell to pay us back salaries that
brought the kick. but also the failure
to receive guarantee of more than
month of playing. Both Downey
and myself stood by what Ramsey
and Cooper asked for. When Ramsey
said we would not get our back sal
aries all the players were made free
agents. Later they were reinstated.
l am sorry for this city the busi-
ness was not handled properly"
Under the management of Earl
Mack the team representing Harris
burg yesterday played at Elmira los
ing out by a score of 10 to 8. The
wanderers had a patched up team
that played a good game. Clark was
not in the lineup.

sensational ball this season. Dem

strength with his hitting and fielding
Loudermilk has won nine straight

fast game Saturday, when Baker A.

Pitcher Finfrock, who is making
another record as mound artist at
Lucknow, is showing n pace for a.
veteran twirler. This boy can go into

Belmont A. C. is hoping for q. good
game for July 4. There was a like
lihood that Hollidaysburg would
send for the local boys. The Belmont
players have been doing fine work
this season. In all games they have
had sensational fielders and earned
every victory.
