Scranton Refuses to
Give Up Good Cash;
No League This Year

scranton, April 2.-Baseball boos-
ters are not biting at the bait offered
by j. II. Farrell, head of the new
Glass AA. baseball league. They
know it is time to lay off. The gen.
eral belief here is that the money
that will be lost by the new league
could be put to a better advantage
by buying Liberty Bonds.
In an additional statement regard
ing the proposed new Liberty Glass
IA baseball league, which is sup
posed to include this city and Will
kes- Barre, Robert w. Allen, presi-
dent of the Scranton baseball team.
said that in so far as the local
owners are concerned they know
nothing of the promoters plans and
that there isn't a chance of Scranton
being represented.
IF Glass B ball wouldn't pay here
in war time conditions, l fail TO see
where Glass AA would have a chance
to live said Mr.. Allen in discussing
the proposition. Anyway, the New
York State league has not been Off
cially disbanded as vet, and even if
Scranton. Syracuse. Wilkes Barre
BinGhamton and Elmira were inter-
ested in the proposed new league
don't see where anything could be
accomplished until the affairs of the
old league were first closed up"
Mr.. Allen said he has heard moth
ing from Mr.. Farrell in reference to
the new league, of which he is to be
the president. He did receive
letter from Jack Dunn, of Baltimore,
about the plan, but has been too
busy to answer it. That the new
league might land new owners here
in view of launching the plan is, of
course. possible, but as yet no one
has consulted Mr.. Allen about leas-
ing the grounds-a step that would
be vitality important to any move
contemplated.
The local magnate is satisfied that
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-04-02

it would prove foolish and costly
undertaking to run a baseball club
here while the war is on. He said
conditions were bad enough last year
before the United States began TAX
ing real active part in the war, and
with Uncle Sam now in the Euro
pean fight in earnest he believes the
prospects of the public being inter-
ested in baseball are worse instead
of better. Under ordinary condi-
tions, Mr.. Allen believes the propos-
ed Class IA league would prove sue
cessful in Scranton, but until the
war ends he believes it is out of the
question.
Secretary William Kessler. of the
Wilkes-Barre club. has also issued a
statement denying that Wilkes-Barre
will enter the new league The
Baron managers would probably
agree to lease the park to new own
ers in Wilkes Barre during the per-
iod of the war. but even this is not
certain. No statements concerning
the new league have been given out
in Elmira and Binghamton. but it
is generally admitted the baseball
undertaken has finished his job in
those cities until the Huns and allies
conclude their fuss across the pond.

adopt a schedule and arrange plans
for the opening of the season. Four
cities. Baltimore, Jersey City. Ro-
chester. and Toronto, are considered
certainties. Others believed to have
the best chances of being admitted
are Syracuse, Newark. Buffalo, and
Binghamton. The hackers now ad-
nit the outlook in Wilkes-Bar and
Scranton is not very encouraging
and that the two Pennsylvania towns
will hardly be included in the pro-
posed new organization.

ANGLERS MUST
PAY LICENSE
It Is a New York State Law
Governing Fresh Water
Streams

Local anglers who have been MAX
ing annual trips to New York State
in search of trout. will have to pay
an additional license this year. A
dispatch from Albany, says:
Fishermen, who are not residents
of the state of New York and who
wish to angle in the fresh waters of
the state, must hereafter secure a
nonresident fishing license, accord
ing to an amendment of the conser-
vation law signed by Governor Whit
man. Licenses may be procured
from any county, city or town clerk
for the sum of $3.50. and are good
for the calendar year.
Formerly the nonresident fish
ing license law applied only to fresh
waters forming a part of the state
boundary or through which the state
boundary runs. The new provisions
of the law require that a person
who is a nonresident of the state
must be in possession of a non-resi-
dent license 10 angle in any of the
state waters.
Must Give Notice
The law is to be strictly enforced
by the Conservation Commission, ac-
cording to Llewellyn Legge, chief of
the division of fish and game, who
has issued an order to all game pro-
tectors, including f. ]! O'Connor of
Chemung, directing them upon meet
ing fishermen to ascertain if they are
non-residents of the state, and If so
and it is found that they have failed
to procure a nonresident fishing Ii
Cense to proceed against them, ac-
cording to the law.
Exempt Boys
Persons under sixteen Years of
age are, however, exempt from the
operation of the law. Another ex-
ception is made in the case of the
waters which form the international
boundary with the Dominion of Cam
ada. If non-residents OF Canada
may fish on the Canadian side of
the international boundary line
without Canadian fishing license.
the reciprocal privilege is granted
to non-residents of the State of New
York to fish on the New York side
of the boundary line without OBJ
tanning the nonresident fishing H.
cense."
