TRENTON MED QUIT
DECK OF LOSSES
Tri-State Magnates Hear Bad
News at the Meeting
Yesterday
Special to The Telegraph
Phtladelpha. Pa., Feb. 19. —An
announcement that Trenton backers
had decided to throw up the sponge
and quit the Tri-State game came like
a thunderbolt from a clear sky at the
meeting held here yesterday, and It
was some time before the magnates
weer able to get down to business in
the effort to till the vacancy.
It was subsequently stated that
Trenton Is not yet wholly lost to the
Tri-State and that there may be a re
organization of the Trenton Athletic
Association, a number of new backers
having expressed a desire to get into
the game If a change is made. Tren
ton Is heavily involved in debt and
the directors are of the opinion that
unless there is a reorganization there
is little use In trying to make baseball
a success in Trenton.
Outside of the presentation of the
schedule by President George Graham,
little else than routine business was
transacted. The salary question was
not touched. Because of the condi
tions at Trenton, and because some of
the managers want a few dates
changed, the schedule will not be an
nounced until the next meeting, which
may be held in Harrisburg.
Old-time Rivalry
It was decided to start, the season
May 6 and close September 7,
Day, the schedule also being adopted,
which calls for 110 games, and has
been so arranged as to insure an even
division of games at home and abroad.
Interest In the schedule naturally
centers in the holidays. For the pres
ent season the clubs are coupled as
follows: Trenton and Wilmington,
York and Harrisburg and Reading and
All en town.
On Decoration Day and July Fourth
these teams will double up, playing in
one town in the. morning anil in the
other In*the afternoon. Tills arrange
ment will not be maintained on Labor
Day. when Allentown will play at Wil
mington, Trenton at York and Har
risburg at Reading. The following
delegates were present at the session:
George Stallman, York: William
Morris, Trenton: Dr. A. 11. Balliett,
Allentown; William S. Tunis, Harris
burg; John Myers, Reading, and Peter
Cassidy, Wilmington.
The meeting also marked the intro- j
duction In Tri-State sessions of Fred
l.anshe, of Allentown, the newly
elected president of that club.
Mr. Myers announced that the
games of the Heading club would be
played on the Circus Maximus
grounds.
Many Trl-Staters and baseball men,
in addition to those actually partici
pating in the meeting, were seen
around the corridors of the hotel, In
eluding Managers Johnny Castle,
Harry Hoffman, George Coekill and
George Heckert, Joe Ward, Wid C'on
roy. Max Endman, Zeke Wrigley and
Monte Cross.
Attendance Small;
Trenton a Failure;
May Reorganize
Special to The Telegraph
Trenton, N. J., Feb. 19.—Financial
difficulties have caused the directors
and stockholders of the Trenton Tri-
State baseball club to throw up the
franchise. This action was taken at
}i meeting of the directors yesterday.
President William J. Morris attended
the Tri-State meeting in Philadelphia
and made the official announcement
of the action by the promoters of the
Trenton team.
Between $20,000 and $25,000 has
been lost since the Tri-State Invaded
this city in 1907, and with absolutely
no encouragement forthcoming, there
was nothing for the stockholders to
:do but discontinue their efforts to
place the game on a paying basis.
Rather than place the entire organ
ization at a disadvantage after the
i schedule was started it was deemed
advisable to immediately acquaint the
other clubs, with the utter impoßsibll-

The Trenton club has been allowed
to use Morris Park, the home of Tri-
State ball, practically free of any cost,
but even with this concession the
losses have been tremendous as the
patronage has been extremely small.
Trenton was admitted to the Trl-
State League In 11)07. The first season
paid well. The organization was then
undoubtedly one of the fastest minor
leagues in the country. High salaries
were paid and the players were among
the best outside the majors.
Manager John t Carney held the
reigns over the Tigers at the start and
was able to land them at the top of
the first division. The race that year
was the best in the history of the or
ganization and large crowds attended
all the games.

ers are W. J. Morris, Frank Weeden,
George Barlow, James H. Letts, Lewis
