THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG ifjjjftn TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 31, 1914 I-STITE LEAGUE TO HOLD SESSION Plans Are Under Way to Develop Young Players Next Season; Low Salary Limit On or about January 12 the Tri- State League will meet in tlarrisburg for the annual powwow. An old-time gathering of baseball managers and players is expected. Announcement comes from George Graham, president of the Tri-State, that there will be something doing this year. All over the circuit star players are being sold. This is one indication that the salary limit in the Tri-State next season will be $1,200. Players who have good averages will be turned over to leagues paying higher salaries. However, among the minors there will not be many organizations with a sal ary limit far above that of the Tri- State. Every manager of the Tri-State is going after young blood. Major league leaders will help the Tri-State land promising youngsters. The Gra ham league promises to be a big help ill landing players for the National and American Leagues.

Take a llrni grip on the ball with your right hand, but let the weight of the ball rest on the left. Start with the right foot,, and walk quickly forward about four steps and deliver the ball with your left foot in front, keep your feet apart and bend your knees, but do not bend your arm or back.

Former Governor Samuel W. Penny packer, who was named with the orig inal commission on August 1, 1913, for an eight-year term, has been made chairman, being appointed to Judge lOwing's unexpired term of ten years, thus giving him more than eight and one-half years yet to serve. The other original commissioners, S. Larue Tone, nine years; Emory R. Johnson, seven years: Milton J. Brccht, six years; Charles Frederick Wright, live years, and Frank M. Wallace, four years, are reappointed, four of them gaining an extension of one year to their original terms—and to the list, for the remain ing two years and seven months of Mr. Wallace's orginal term, is added a new commissioner in the person of Walter H. Gaitlier, formerly a Pittsburgh newspaperman, who has been four years the Governor's secretary at Har risburg and was his secretary two years while Mr. Tener was a member of Congress. "The Public Service Commission, with its salaries of SIO,OOO a year and the far reach of its official duties, is second to no instrumentality of the Commonwealth at the Ctate Capital. It suffered a severe loss in the death of Judge Ewing, who had displayed conspicuous qualities in that commis sion as well as on the old State Rail road Commission, of which he was also chairman. The new commission, with broader powers and jurisdiction, lias been notably successful in dealing with utility problems, and recently won a larger measure of public con fidence by its adjustment of differ ences affecting the transportation com panies. It constitutes one of tlie most important contributions of the Tenor administration to legislation directly concerning the people. In promoting its effectiveness and thoroughness Judge Pennypacker lias been a power ful and far-seeing force. Particularly is his opinion in the anthracite case of a fortnight ago generally regarded as a masterly document. Governor Tener, therefore, has made no mistake in elevating the ex-Governor to the chairmanship. "The nomination of Mr. Gaither to the vacant commissionershlp Is a per sonal appointment by the,executive. His close and confidential association with Governor Tener, who lias had every opportunity to test his capacity and measure his merits during the past six years, led to his selection for ■ a post, in which the Governor is confi |dent he will give new proofs of ability |to acquit himself with credit and to !the public's satisfaction. This appoint ment, moreover, is a graceful recogni tion by the Governor of the newspaper profession in connection with the op eration of the most valuable supple mental agency of the State established 'during his administration and for I many years. Mr. Gaither, in the re jsponslDle position of secretary to the i Governor, by fidelity, efficiency and na- Itive aptitude in application, commend led himself to favorable consideration | by his chief for higher honors and du i ties. His selection, therefore, is not j ural as that of one qualifiod. with his associates, to give effect and expres sion to the spirit of the public service [ law for which Governor Tenor's ad ministration always will be dlstln- I guished."

MILLIONS BACK OF FEDERAL LEAGUE All Peace Stuff Is Off According to James A. Gilmore; Fight to a Finish Special to The Telegraph Chicago, 111., Dec. 31.—With a back ing of $3,000,000, Invested In Federal league teams, President James A. Gil more says the light must go on until the finish. President Gilmore was asked as to the ultimate aim of the independent organization. "Recognition as a major league is what wo are after," said Gilmore. I "Recognition with territorial rights. I always have favored peace, but 1 want I to tell you honestly, that there never j has been the slightest chance of a peace pact being signed. All that I peace stuff Just before the Omaha I meeting was tommyrot. "We are ready to talk peace on our terms —not organized baseball's. How ever, we are prepared to light for our rights, and I think we are well equip ped for the battle. We have the finan ces and the lighters, and sooner or lat er we will invade New York with a modern plant. There is more than one millionaire in our circuit. AH I said, we have more than $3,000,000 invested. Now, can you picture, in your wildest dreams, us quitting? "Withal the only thing said by an organized baseball man lately that [ heartily approve of was Schuyler Brit ton's suggestion lhat the organized baseball parks be closed for the com ing season. "Why shouldn't they close up rather than face the light that's in front of them? Think of how we would starvo to death if all the major league parks closed? Just imagine, no place to go but the Federal X-eague, with the pick of two major leagues in its ranks!" HOOSTKR CHOIR ORGANIZED Special to The Telegraph New Cumberland, Pa., Dec. 31.
