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."

"HOMK-RIX-BAIvKR"
FATHER OF TWIN GIRLS
Seaford, Del.. 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. The stork visited the
Cambridge Hospital yesterday and left
twin girls.
As Baker is the owner of valuable
farm lands in Maryland there has been
a rumor that he would soon quit the
game and devote his time to poultry
rajsing on a large scale. In reply to
a question regarding this, he said: "I
do not expect to continue playing
longer than this season."
Allentown Fighter
Draws With Kilbane
Philadelphia, Feb. 3.—Eddie Moy,
the pride of Allentown. realized his
ambition last night in the same ring
of the Olympia A. A., where less than
a month ago his featherweight aspi
rations were sidetra' :ed in the fifth
round of a scheduled six session set
to by Champion Johnny Kilbane, the
little man with the big wallop. 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.

Is Likely to Die

saloons trying to forget his domestic
troubles, Allen K. Cupples, of 17 Ju
