TEN CLUB LEAGUE.
Tbat Is One of the Eastern League Pos
slbllitles (or Ncxl Season.
Reasons for It.
Thls Is the day when President
Powers, of the Eastern league, is to
give the. Scranton owners a definite
nnswer ns to his sale or non-sale of
the Scranton franchise. One ot the
owners wns The Tribune's nuthoilty
last night that nothing had been heard
from Powers and It was prsbable that
ho would be given until Monday night
or Tuesday to make answer.
Powers has been busy during tho Inst
four or five days traveling from one
league city to ano'her und. It Is be
lieved, has not had time to give duo
attention to tho Scranton matter.
A rumor has been given credence,
and not without some foundation, that
Scrar.lMi mluht be made a farm for
Philadelphia of the National league.
This would not come to pass If the
Scranton franchise wns transferred to
Rochester, unless the Eastern was
made a ten-club league.
There has been some reason for tho
latter supposition. Rochester and New
ark both want to join the league. Ro
chester Is the more fancied among
league olllclals, but President Powers
wants Newark n. While Scranton la
willing to sell to either Rochester or
Newark, Wllkes-Bnrre, the only other
club thought to be on the market, posi
tively decllneH to accept offers made.
From this It will be seen that President
Powers would have to throw over his
Newark nspliatlons If the league was
to remain composed of eight clubs,
hence he Is not wholly unfavorable to
a ten-club league.
It Is positively known that through
President Powers the (Philadelphia club
has made overtures for the control of
Scranton. If Newark Isn't able to get
a franchise In the eight-club league,
then It Is not Improbable that Scran
ton will bo In a ten-club league and
that Rochester and Newark will start
the season with bran new teams.
Tho Wilke-llarro Situation.
The situation at Wllkes-Barre Is out
lined In the following dispatch received
by The Tribune last night:
WUUes-Barre, Jan. 11.- At a. meeting of
the stockholders of tho Wllkes-L'arre.
btise ball club tonight a committee was
appointed to ascertain tho cost of main
taining a first class team in tho Eastern
league tho coming season and what tho
chances wero for getting the necessary
financial support to carry tho club
through the season. The commltteo will
make n report tomorrow night and then
tho WilkctPnrro representative to the
Buffalo convention will bo in a position
to state Just whero AVIlkcs-Burro stands.

I suffered for a long1 tlmo with nervous

I was weary

In vain. On

if moro Indies would only give your
