OWNERS FAVOR
CLOSED GATES
Future of Farrell Circuit to
Be Decided Tonight
at Syracuse

Wiikes-Barre, Pa, Jan. "a. - A
plan to keep the New York State
Baseball League going on a war
time basis has been worked out and
will be formally presented to the
State League moguls at the annual
meeting scheduled for tonight at 8
o'clock at the Hotel Yates, in SYRIA
cuse, n. Y. 1t was learned here that
P1 esident Farrell has two schemes to
place before the club owners which
will permit the circuit to begin it's
twenty-second year. One plan is to
adopt a four-month schedule, start
ing the teams on the merry chase
on May 5 and ending the conflict
Labor Day. In the event the league
is not attracting the fans and if the
circuit is kept intact until July
the assurance has been given that
the territorial rights of the league
will be observed. All players sold
or traded after the disbanding of
the league will be accredited to the
club holding title prior to the time
of the blow Off"
Some Objections
But this plan, as announced O
week ago, has not met with the gen.
eral o. K. that President John Henry
Farrell believed it would, conse-
quently he has conceived another
one that will reduce the circuit to a
semiprofessional organization hav-
ing the fullest protection from or
ganized baseball. 1t is the idea of
the State League leader to have
three games at home each week,
Thursday, Saturday and Sunday
suggested for t G matches in this
city The six teams in the league
to secure what professional ball
players may be available at the least
money and to fill the depleted York
State ranks with the best amateurs
in tho vicinity of the home clubs.
These players are to be picked from
the industrial plants and in this
way the club owners could gain
their service for little money.
To Face Closing
Wilkes Barre and Scranton club
owners will oppose this plan, in fact
it has been learned that the local
overs will go to Syracuse with only
one purpose in view-that to force
the league to keep its gates closed
until the war is over over there. The
local franchise holders have dug
deep into their jeans in the past sea-
son to give the valley a winner.
Scranton was on the rocks in mid
season and the other clubs did not
finish on the right side of the ledger,
as least not with usual load of gold.
Wilkes Barre will be awarded the
pennant for the 1917 season. Messrs.
Christ, Stegmaier and William KeSs-
ler will represent the local club.

PITT TRACK SCHEDULE TO
INCLUDE BIG NAVY MEET;
MATERIAL is PLENTIFUL

Jimmy" Dehart, who ran on the
winning relay team at Philadelphia
last year, is in this service at Mem
phis, Tenn. Burwell, the crack
sprinter, is first lieutenant. Many
others might be named. However,
Coach Kerr has the nucleus of a
pretty good team left from the var
sity holdovers and the last years
freshman team.
PearIman Is Barred
The sole topic of conversation
among the athletic followers at Pitt
this week was the disqualification of
L. r. (Red) Pearlman, star football
and basketball performer, for par
ticipating in an outside basketball
game and using a name other than
his own. He has been debarred from
Pitt athletics for all time. Pearl
man was center on the basketball
varsity and was a real star. He tall
lied six baskets in the Yale game
and helped to defeat the Ellis. Dur
ing his freshman year he was center
of the Yearlings football team and
the past fall he beat out several
candidates for a regular varsity
tackle position. Coach Glenn War
ner looked on him as one of the most
promising football players he had
available for 1918.

ing of duel meet with the United
States Naval Academy team at An
napolis, May IL, completed the Uni

NOTED to the varsity squad as they
show their ability.
Dave" Mcconnell is scheduled to
act as arbiter for the league con-
test. Allentown has not as yet be-
come accustomed to the league rules,
and in time should develop into a
formidable aggregation. Despite the
fact that the visitors have dropped
four straight contests, the Maroons
will not take any chances with them,
but will send in their strongest line
up, so that teamwork may be devel-
oped for future contests. Dancing
will follow the cage sports.
Probable Lineups
As a preliminary to the game, the
Freshmen and Sophomores will be pit
ted against each other. The flrst-year
lads have become quite chesty over
their victory last Saturday, and the
second-year boys will be out to give
the "greenies" a lacing. The proba-
