John H. Myers Talks
About Reading Team
Special to The Telegraph
Reading, Pa., Feb. 5. —John H.
Myers, of Lancaster, president of tlic!
Reading Tri-State team, was in Read
ing when he declared that this city
will have one of the best teams in
the league and that it will be a farm
for the Philadelphia Athletics.
Referring to the selection of a man
ager, Mr. Myers said that owing to
the war between the big leagues and
the Federals, which prevents the own
ers from making definite negotiations
he is unable to say at this time who
will manage the club. ?
It has been intimated that Hill
Coughlin, the veteran baseball pilot,
who brought a pennant to Reading in
1911 in the Tri-State, is being consid
ered for the position, but Mr. Myers
when asked about it refused to verify
or deny the report.
Jimmy Jackson Is
Lining Up His Hem
Special to The Telegraph
Wilmington, Del., Feb. (j.-—-Jimmy
Jackson, manager of the Wilmington
pennant-winning Tri-State team of
1913, is arranging for the season of
1914. The Wilmington manager of
last year will lead the team this Spring
and declares that he will put a team
in the field which will be in the run
ning from the start of the race.
Although Jackson was in favor of
an eight-club circuit, he expects great
baseball from the six clubs which will
comprise the Tri-State this year, lie
declares that the removal of the At
lantic City team of last year to Read
ing during the coming season will
mean that the former tail-enders will
not play for two months on the cir
cuit as previously, and consequently
will secure an even break with the
other clubs.

THURSDAY EVENING,
NEW SALARY LIMIT
FOR TIE TRI-STATE
York Directors Organize and Elect
George Washington Heck
ert as Manager
GEORGE W. HECKERT
Who Will Be an Owner and Manager
of York Tri-State Team This
Season
Every manager signed up to date
in the Tri-State favors the elimination
of the individual salary limit and an
increase in the monthly iigures that
will put the standard of baseball in
the league on a par with other
leagues of the same class. The gen
eral opinion prevails that there will
be less incentive to override the salary
limit rules if an increase is allowed,
and the $l5O individual monthly limit
wiped out.
A change in the salary arrange
ments in the Tri-State. according to
opinions expressed by both owners and
managers, give the league a standing
that has long been desired. Young
sters with ability will show a greater
desire to play in the Tri-State know-1
ing that good work will bring a re-J
turn in salary. Every club in the Tri-
State would have an equal chance to
win a pennant.
The backers of George W. Heckert,
who will manage the Yprk Tri-State
baseball team during the coming sea-j
son, have obtained the controlling in
terest in the York Athletic Club.
These directors were chosen at a meet
ing last night: J. J. Gerry, George
W. Heckert, H. S. Schmidt, George
Stallman, W. W. McClune, H. F. Koh
ler, Irwin G. Shedrick and Arthur G.
Fry. Heckert was elected manager.
It was decided to hold a banquet to
stir up interest in the local club before
the opening of the season. The guests
of honor will be Governor Tener and
the new president of the league,
George M. Graham.
Manager Heckert is now in a posi
tion to go ahead and map out his
plans. He has already sent out con
tracts to a number of the players who
were with York last season.
Heckert will have to get four new
pitchers. Last year's staff consisted
of Milliman, Shaw, Williams and
Schmidt. Of these Shaw is with
Washington, and Schmidt is the prop
erty of the New York State League
club. Several clubs are after Milli
man and he will likely be sold.

Lancaster Tossers
Want Clean Record
Lancaster High with their unde
feated basketball team will try con
clusions with Tech High on Tech's
floor to-morrow night, starting at 8
o'clock. This will be Lancaster's last
appearance in Harrisburg this season
unless the champions come for a
game with some Independent team.
Lancaster has a team of tossers that
has been making good. Thero is a
probability that Tech will not have its
regular line-up because of a mix-up in
last Friday's game, which, according
to opinions expressed yesterday, makes
a Tech player the "goat." and bars
him from playing until he "kowtows"
to the person offended. Tech had a
lively scrimmage with the scrub team
yesterday. The Crescents, a strong
local five which includes several Tech
students, will play the scrubs between
the halves to-morrow night.
