10 PRESIDENT GRIM PLANNING BIG TRIP Will Boost the Game in Every City on the Tri-State Circuit "" Plans for a visit to every city on the Trl-State circuit have not been completed by President George Gra ham. He is now In communication with the various owners and repre sentatives as to the most convenient time for the trip and expects to an nounce his schedule within the next few days. President Graham has notified Read ing; and Trenton that he will assist them if necessary in trying to locate good men. The one big improvement in con ditions this season which will be of great help to managers will be the elimination of the individual salary limit of $l6O. President Graham wants it cut out and is of the opinion that it will prove a great help to the Trl-State game, as there will be more experienced players remain in the Tri- State ranks this season and less like- ! llhood of other leagues getting their services by reason of better offers. j On the question of an increased | limit President Graham will not com mit himself until he hoars from all owners and representatives. There may be a slight increase in order to be able to compete with other leagues in the same class as the Tri-State. Harrisburg Tossers Will Meet York Five Harrisburg tosgers will go to York Wednesday night for the fourth game in the series with the All-Collegians of York. Harrisburg has won two and York one of the games played so far this season. The White Roses are going to do their best, it is said, to win the game here this week. If a fifth game is necessary, the toss of a coin will decide on which floor it will be play ed. The York Daily says: "Th» Harrisburg team will need no introduction to York fans, for those who witnessed the game here earlier in the season admit it was one of the best played at the Coliseum this year. The York line-up has been greatly strengthened by the addition of Bred benner and there is no reason why it will not be able to prolong the series. Bredbenner will be with the locals for the remainder of the season, accord ing to Manager Gardner last, night. It was also announced that ' Ralph Barnes will rejoin the team this week and will replace J. Cole at guard. Cole was obtained to play at center, but Manager Gardner is perfectly sat isfied with the work of 'dusty' Bred benner and will not keep the Harris burg man."

Feb. 3.—John Frank lin Baker, of Trappe, Maryland, the famous third baseman of the Phila delphia Athletics, who did not sign with Connie Mack until January 17, is the happiest man on the Eastern Shore to-day.

This time Moy stayed the limit with the title holder and for so doing he was carried from the rosin boards to his dressing room on the shoulders of his advisers. To go through six rounds of mill ing with the Kilbane fighting machine was as muoh as a victory for Moy despite the fact that the champion clearly demonstrated that he was a more finished exponent of the art of self defense.
