mm OUTLOOK
BRINGS MUCH GLOOM
Umpire George Cockill Tells Why
r Prospects Are Not Very Bright;
Meeting Tomorrow
Gloom is spread all over baseball
circles in Harrisburg. Tri-State pas
time may be eliminated for the com
ing season. Supporters of the na
tional game in this vicinity cannot un
derstand why the game would not lie
profitable with a lower limit. There
is but one hope. Tri-State officials at
the meeting to-morrow may receive
enough encouragement to take an
other chance.
Throughout the Tri-State a gen
eral opinion prevails that baseball
prospects arc not bright for this sum
mer. Umpire George Cockill. who
was in town Saturday afternoon and
evening, is of the opinion that con
ditions are worse now than they wore
one year ago. Tie tells of the one
hope in this manner:
George Cockill Explains
"There will be a surplus of baseball
players after the season gets started.
These players must be taken care of.
Major leagues may tind the Tri-State
a good place to store their surplus
stock. They would be safe in a minor
league and could be had when want
ed. The one great trouble in minor
leagues is the eft'ort on the part of the
managers to outbid each other. There
should be an agreement between own
ers on salary limits, and an under
standing that players would have to
be purchased when a larger salary is
offered. This year will see a rejuvena
tion of the national game. In my
opinion it would be wise for some
minor leagues to lay off a season."
Harrisburg will be represented at
the Tri-State meeting to-morrow by
Mercer B. Tate and William S. Tunis.
Neither of these officials would give
any statements as to the probable re
sults of to-morrow's powwow. They
would not deny or affirm the report
that the Tri-State might quit for a
season. Both gentlemen .remarked,
"Wait until after the Tuesday meet
ing."

CORNELL LOOKS GOOD
AS SEASONS WIIEB
Princeton Has a Fighting Chance;
Play Games Away From Home;
Yale Is Out
Ithaca, K. Y„ Feb. 15. —Unless Cor
nell takes an unexpected slump, the
lthaoans are going to cop the inter
collegiate basketball title this year.
Thoir victory over Princeton last week
removed one of their two hard games
to play away and placed them in a
position to command the field. They
have four games to play, one away
and the other three at Ithaca. Their
one contest is at New York with Co
lumbia. but as they have Columbia,
Princeton and Dartmouth at home
they should win the pennant, figuring
upon their present'rate of speed.
Vale has a chance to get into the
first division, but cannot hone to win
out over Cornell at this stage. Prince
ton has six to play, three away and as
many at home, while Columbia, the
other contender, has four, two at home
and two away. The two latter teams
can beat out Sharpe's proteges, but
they will have to beat Cornell in
Ithaca to do so. and that just now
lcoks to be a most difficult proposition.
Penn cannot finish any higher than it
stands now. but can slide into last hole
if Dartmouth improves by winning a
game or two. The standing the teams
follows:
W. L. P.C.
Cornell 5 1 .833
Princeton 3 1 .750
Columbia 4 2 .667
Yale 3 2 .600
Penn 1 6 .143
Dartmouth 0 4 .000
Bill James Stirs Up
Camp of Boston Braves
Boston, Mass., Feb. 15. For an
owner of a world's championship out
fit, James Gaffney is having lots of
trouble. Bill James' threat to sue
unless his salary was advanced came
as a staggerer to Hub fans.
No trouble was expected from
James, for he signed a three-year
contract with the Braves last July. It
is said that the document called for
a salary of $4,000 a year and that
the giant pitcher regretted it after
the Braves won the pennant and
world's championship.
James notified Gaffney that he
would have to tear up the old con
tract and offer him another calling
for a boost of $2,000 a year. Gaff
ney declined to grant this demand on
the grounds that if he nullified James'
documents he might have to do the
same with all the other players and
that such a practice would make a
contract meaningless.
TECH HIGH TOSSERS LOSE
Tech high did not fare well at Wil

A. A. U. rules. In the first half Tech
put up a fairly good game. Their
floor work was all right but caging
was out of their line.
