WILMINGTON BALKS ON CARPENTER DEAL Owners Announce Their Intention to Stand by Present • Leader Announcement from Wilmington this morning that Tom Brown and Peter Cassldy, owners of the Trl-State franchise, would stand by President Carpenter at the meeting at Philadel phia on Tuesday, is looked upon by Harrisburg owners as an indication of another tight which may bring about a dissolution of the Trl-State League. It is really up to President Carpen ter. If he keeps his promise and will retire fracefully there will be* noth ing else for Wilmington to do but trail along with the majority. If Mr. Car penter insists on fighting, then it will be necessary for a unanimous vote of the representatives to put him out, and this cannot be had it Wilmington refuses to recede from to-day's an nouncement. A dispatch from Wil mington says: "I can't see why we should oust a man who kept us on our feet for so long," said President Thomas M. Brown, of the "Chicks," in discussing the matter to-day. "President Car penter has two more years to act in the office given him, and it seems un fair that he should be taken out." "Will you back Carpenter at the meeting next Tuesday?" Mr. Brown was asked. "I positvely will, and I can say as much for Mr. Cassidy," Mr. Bro<vn re plied, "but we honestly don't think Carpenter hast any show." Mr. Brown would not say anything about the porspects of a local team for next season. He said they would know just how matters stand concern ing a Wilmington team after the meet ing.
