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.
In his bulletin issued last night
J. H. Farrell, secretary of the Na
tional Association of Professional
Baseball Leagues, announces the of
ficial transfer of the Atlantic City
franchise to Reading.
