The Holiday Spirit Is Still Strong in Jeff ~ By Fisher - s~a=Ev ' frr 7 ] tesws™7 i^r^fciili cm*'<«r /»<» I 1 I 111 TO ASK RESIGNATION FROM CARPENTER Committee Named to Put Proposi tion Up to Tri-State Leader on Monday Believing that it. will be to the best Interests of the Trl-State to have a reorganization of the Tri-State League, H. Klster Free, president of the York club, and Mercer B. Tate, of the Har risburg club, will meet President VJharles F. Carpenter in Ilarrisburg Monday evening and notify him of the action of the owners at the Lan caster conference yesterday. • While noncommittal in their prob nble actions Monday night, both Presi dent Free and Mr. Tate intimated last Jilght that tlie owners are unanimously in favor of a change, and that George l\f. Graham was the choice of the owners for the leadership. If an eight-club circuit can be had on a nound business basis a proposition may l»e submitted to have George M. Gra iliam and Charles F. Carpenter work {jointly. However, this was only a sug- Kestion and no action wa* taken yes terday. Outside of the statement published yesterday in the Telegraph, there was no other important action at the con ference yesterday afternoon. Follow ing the adjournment of the meeting the following statement was given out: Will Request Resignation "A committee, consisting of H. Kis ter Free, of York, and Mercer Tate, of Harrisburg, was appointed to meet President Carpenter at Harrisburg next Monday, the day prior to the an imal meeting of the league, to express to him tho wishes of the owners in regard to tho conduct of tho business of the. league for the coming season." Reading between the lines of this Veiled declaration, one of the officials admitted that the real intent it Is meant to convey is that President Car- Venter's resignation will be asked for. He was elected to the office of presi dent, secretary and treasurer in 1911 for a term of five years at a salary of $2,000 per year. There was a unanimous expression given in favor of an eight-club circuit. 3>y adding Kaston and Lancaster to the present organization.

CARPENTER TO FIGHT FOR HIS POSITION Refuses to Give Out His Plans Un til Monday at Harrisburg; Eight Club Question Special to The Telegraph Altoona, Pa.. Jan. 3. President Charles F. Carpenter, of the Tri-State League, who is to be given a dose of medicine similar to that handed to the former National League leader, Thomas J. Lynch, which was followed by the election of Governor John K. Tener as president of the major or ganization, will probably go down fighting. President Carpenter is silent on his plans. He made the statement "that he was willing to abide by the decision °f the majority on the question of an eight-club circuit," but refused to make any statement regarding his resignation. Those close to President Carpenter are of the opinion that he will make a fight and call attention to the fact that he. has two years vet. to serve. The Tri-State leader will hold in reserve a lengthy statement which he is preparing and which will be made public at Harrisburg on Tues day. Referring to the fight against Carpenter, the Tribune, which has always been Carpenter's mouthpiece, says: e , s '^ ent < - , ' lar ' es E. Carpenter, of the Trl-State League, is not going to have things so rosy at the coming an nual meeting of the league to be held at Harrisburg next Tuesday if all the reports that are emanating'from Har risburg and other Tri-State towns are to be taken with any credence. A lot of friction has developed since last season and It will require much work to get the cog wheels of the league running smoothly if the organization Is to be successful next year Has His Hands Full Governor Tener'* favoring the elec tion of George M. Graham is not taken as a good policy. Governor lener has his hands prettv full 'just now in trying to run the affairs of the htate of Pennsylvania and the Na tional League. The two ought to keep him busy without meddling in the affairs of any smaller baseball or ganization. Governor Tener has been out of the game for some vears, has only been an ardent fan and it is onlv a iw ,es ;\. tha x. h . e w,n nmkc Kood as pilot of the National League. .' A . h President of the National he will have all lie wants to do this win ter and spring to buoy up the old lfwh U M an^ l< i eep , it from ru »ni»K foul with the federals and getting mixed i' T p .. n a T°w with the American. The National must step along some to re gain some of the prestige that the American League took away from it and to do this President Tener wili have about all he can handle, even with the assistance of John Hcydler and Roy Reeves, both expert baseball men. "George M. Graham may be a good baseball man. He is a sporting writer of considerable reputation, in Philadel phia, and other than to make a tour around the Tri-State League once a year in an advertising campaign for his paper has never done anything that expressly fits him to pilot tho league."
