Reading today and will play its first
Eastern league game at Springdjld to

This information was received from
A. L. Francois by telephone from
New York last eveoiug, along with
the anuouncemaut that liodson had

WHAT CAUSED TIIE CHANGE.
Previous to the meeting of tbe State
league nt the Wyoming bouse in this
city on iursday night tho Scranton di
roctors hnd intended to remain in the
league for a time at. least. The mset
ing it will be remembered, wns attend
ed by a number of Scranton directors
aud thcyJwero80 sickened by the dicta
torial attitude of Secretary Diddlebock
that arrangements were made to re
cede from their intention an J join tbe
Eastern lengus.
At this meeting Mr. Diddlebock and
Mike Kelly were particular abusive in
their arraignment ot Scranton, its rep'
resentalivo bull team and all that ner
tuined to it. The Scranton directors
realized tbut it was their opponents
lust bin if rosort, but rather than sub
mit to farther flings of the'lssh. Mr.
Francois departed to New York aud
the east to cousumate the transfer aud
secure new players.
It was the lust straw to break the
back of the Scrauton club as far us its

ed by President St. John, of the local
aisociation last night, so that all rear
that he will longertbe the instrument

for bim Mr. St John professed not to
know, but said he did not think it was
a vsry large one.
