12 TODAY'S SPORTING NEWS OF INTEREST TREKTOII TEAM OUT. IS TRI-STITE REPORT May Transfer Franchise to Phil lipsburg, N. J., When League Meets Next Month Announcement made to-day in a dispatch from Trenton, that the Tri- State franchise In that city would be transferred to Phillipsburg, N. J., was a big surprise to local owners. The dispatch says: "Trenton is not to have Tri-State baseball this year. At least this posi tive declaration is based on a state ment from William J. Morris*, the sole owner of the local franchise, who ad mits that the Trenton franchise will be transferred to Phillipsburg. Nego tiations for the transfer are practically completed and it is thought that offi cial announcement to this effect will l>e made at the annual meeting of the Tri-State League at Philadelphia next week. "Mr. Morris, of course, will likely retain the franchise rights, but a com pany of Easton and Phillipsburg men i will operate the club at the latter] place. "He has been to both Phillipsburg and Kaston quite frequently of late j and perfected plans for the removal, i There is no park at Easton. and as; Phillipsburg is a real, live, up-to-date sporting town, at least so far as base ball is concerned, Mr. Morris deemed it wise to make a change." One of the first persons to announce his intention to remain in the Tri-State at the close of last season was Wil liam J. Morris. Mr. Morris advocated j a lower limit, and recently expressed | bis belief that a cut in expenses would i prove profitable to the Tri-State. One Harrisburg official said to-day, "that the only person who really I knows what is likely to happen is Pres- j ident George Graham of the Tri-State ; and he is not ready to give publicity to j bis plans."

Buch is the officer with the pleasant face, who is one of the Mar ket Square traffic squad. He is also a special ambulance officer. His du ties require him to answer all ambu lance calls, and he has cared for many sick and injured. He is considered one of the most valuable men on the force. Henry Buch was born in New York city, July 5, 1861. Between the age of 10 and 11 years he was a choir boy in St. Duke's Protestant Episco pal choir, New York city. After cul tivating his voice, Buch was sent to St. John's Chapel, Trinity parish, and from there to Christ Church. Thirty fifth street and Fifth avenue. In 1873 he was engaged by Jarrett & Palmer to sing in their production, "The Black Crook," at Niblo's Garden, ,is a "London Madrigal Boy.' From that time up to 1877 Buch toured the United States in "The Black Crook," which was one of the first real spec tacular shows this country ever had. He also played in "King Henry V," "Sardanapolus," and "Babes in the Woods.' He was with the late George D. Fox in 'Humpty Dumpty," and was understudy for the clown part. His last engagement was with Dan Bry ant's minstrels. Buch's parents refused to allow him to continue his stage career and he was apprenticed to a -Maiden Dane jeweler, where lie remained until 1892, completing his trade. He was then engaged by the American To bacco Company and traveled for (his firm until he purchased a cigar store in Harrisburg in 1901. He was ap pointed a patrolman by Mayor E. Z. Gross and has been on the force ever since. For five years Buch has been ambulance man and emergency chauffeur. One of his important ar rests was that of Deonidas W. Gilbert, who murdered Daniel Miller, pro prietor of Hotel Dauphin, June 27, 1911. Strong Rubbers for School Children Rubber* that gin superior serriee, and that coat no more than the ordinary kind.

The order of the commission refusing the Perkiomen's petition for a certificate to operate was handed down Janu ary 8 and in it the commission stated that as yet there appeared to be no legislation on the question of trackless trolleys and that accordingly there is no provision in the act creating the commission which apparently war rants its jurisdiction in the matter.

The auditor general was charged i with refusing to pay bills and not giv-1 ing reasons therefor, with failing to follow precedents laid down for the amendment advertising for the years! 1909, 1910 and 1911 by Auditors Gen-1 eral Young and Sisson and with paying! bills for other State advertising on a basis for which he refused to settle the amendment bills. He also charged that some newspa pers had been paid in full and others held up. In addition to this charge of discrimination .Mr. Habgood declared that certain influences which were j strenuous in the session of 1913 were j endeavoring to make themseves felt in i this session although he and many of I his colleagues had been elected to the j House against those influences. The controversy prolonged the | House until 2 o'clock, making the ses- I sion practically five hours long and' then adjournment was taken until 5 | p. m. when bills will be received from) committees. Amendments Accepted The House accepted all of the »mendments made to the deficiency bill by the Senute except $2,540.60 which W. H. Wilson, Philadelphia, sponsor for the bill asserted was to pay expenses of the Catlin Investiga tion commission in Philadelphia in i 1911 and which the House rejected in j 19 i 3, and a provision that the auditor■ general shall pay for constitutional' amendment advertising according to' bills rendered. The others including! $2,"i00 for the Executive Department:! $3,000 for the Auditor General to col lect delinquent taxes, $1,600 for the' Supreme Court expenses: $1,664 fori expenses of House returning officers j and $3,000 for legislative handbooks! were concurred In. The Senate then receded from the amendments object ed It. but before the House could act .Mr. Habgood. McKean, charged that he had asked to have some amend ments made while the bill was in the ■■■■■■■ Men of Fashion Smoke "Bull" Durham After a big night at the opera, men who subscribe to boxes for the season—masters of the fine art of enjoyment—relish fresh, deli cious cigarettes of Bull" Durham tobacco while waiting for their limousines.

He said I lliat to-day he was informed the Gov ernor objected to the provision on the | advertising, but that the Governor j had told him and a colleague that he j had not objected, but would be willing jto consult with a committee of con ! ference should one be named.. He I charged that the Governor was being used, a 1; a pretext and declared that ,t he Auditor General had been ob jecting to the bills for years and re [firslnp ta pay on the basis laid down , by Irs predecessors and yet had paid j t ills for other State advertising than amendments on the basis which he al leged he refused to accept on the iamendment. Mr. Habgood said that statements that newspapers were try j ing to mulct the State were false and asked if the House was going to set tle questions on Inspirations of the Auditor General. He also said that 'infiuances which swayed the House | two years ago were seeking to creep lin now although repudiated at the polls last Fall. Then he demanded to know what newspapers had been paid in full and without question and charged ulterior motives in holding up bills of 312 newspapers and raising of questions not heard of in other adver tising. He asserted that it was a ques tion whether the State shoud pay 100 icents on a dollar of just debts or the | Auditor General be allowed-to settle on a basis of forty cents. In clos ling he charged that the action was I being taken not at the behest of the I auditor genet a and not the Governor. | Mr. Wilson rejoined tliat there was ]no entanglement and that tht whole : discussion was not germane. The I words he objected to he had never | heard to until he had read the bill, lie said, and that he had never spoken to the Auditor General who ran his own department without aid from him. '" was advised that the Governor did object, but irrespective of whether tlii Governor does or not, T do object." said he. In closing he said he had no complaint on any iust bills, but want i ed to be sure the bills were right and Ithet the State got a fair deal, j To this the McKean member ans wered that some words just spoken sounded like the session of 1913 and reiterated his attack on the Auditor I General, saving that the advertlse jiuents liad been sent out and accept i ed, everyone presuming that the rates lof previous years would be followed. Messrs. Flynn and Baldwin raised !the question whether the whole mat ter was not one whether the House would accept the Senate action and on a vote it did by IS4 to 2. At 2.05 the House took a recess un til 5 p. m. when it will receive bills from committees. U. OF P.
