FAVORS SIX CLUBS
till Coughiin Has Announced His
Intention to Quit the
Game
Allentown, Pa.. Jan. 10.—Tri-Stato
baseball will again be featured in this
city and the backers will put forth
every effort to have a winning team.
At a meeting last night enough money
was subscribed to take care of last
season's deficiency and to give the
owners a good sized nest egg to start
the coming season.
It is probable that Bill Coughlln
will not lead the Allentown team next
season. He has a business to look
after and has announced his intention
of quitting. The owners have made
no intimation as to who will succeed
Manager Coughlin. It Is understood
that Manager Heckert. with a view to
establishing a record for himself, will
make a' bid for the place.
Several capable men were tenta
tively mentioned for manager and it
is said under the new management
itnd blood to be injected into the
lofcgue some tine applications had been
received.
Another meeting is to be held next
«*eek, when some definite financial and
sporting proposition is to he agreed
upon as Allentown's offer to the league
this season.
The meeting last night revealed that
the money is here for a team and all
ttaf.t is wanted is a management on
the part of the. circuit that will give
thp fans good baseball.
The owners also took a positive I
stand against the re-election of Charles '
Carpenter as president.

SATURDAY EVENING,
"Atlantic City is st the extreme
end of New Jersey ajul no team made
any money when they played there.
Aside from the long jump, the fact
that every team, had too much At
lantic City put a damper on the en
thusiasm. Placing the 'Buds' In Read
ing will give the Trl-Stae a good cir
cuit with easy jumps and the teams
can be paired off in such a manner
that old-time rivalry will exist. Har
risburg would have York, Reading and
Alientown would flght it out, and
Trenton and Wilmington would be the
contenders farther east. I am for the
transfer."

President Fultz
Tells Players to Sign
New York. Jan. 10. —David L. Fultz,
president of the Baseball Players' Fra
ternity, back l'rom Cincinnati after a
satisfactory conference with the na
tional confmission regarding the play
ers' contracts, is notifying all mem
bers of the fraternity by mail that
they are now free to sign contracts.
"This method is 'necessary," said
Fultz, "for the players agreed origi
nally to pay no attention to orders
published in the newspapers. If I
had given out a statement that the
players were eligible to sign, many of
them probably would not have' ac
cepted the announcement as official.
Hence the notifications that are being
mailed as rapidly as possible."
