MATE LEAGUE
WILL QUIT ONE YEAR
President Graham Says Interest Is
Lacking; Release All Players
Unconditionally
"Tri-State is not dead. Onl> an in
valid for one year." This is the way
one Harrisburg official put it to-day,
in telling about yesterday's meeting in
Philadelphia, yesterday. Four repre
sentative* were present.
Following a consultation on the Tri-
State's condition, it was derided to
Keep the organization Intact, but to
cut out the same for one year. Pres
ident George Graham, who returned
f i- om the southern training camps
jesterday thought the plan a,good
ntlc.
He announced that the league hail
f.?'!ed to fill its circuit, and would not
tut teams on the diamond for the
coming season.
The meeting was called on February
20, at which time the league an
nounced that it would make a final
effort to get cities to till the vacancies
left last year when two of the clubs
failed to finish the season, and were
carried by the league during the re
mainder of the playing season.
Ilelp Was Lacking
It was thought possible that when it
was understood that unless help was
advanced that the league would have
to quit, that some offers might be
forthcoming. An effort was made to
arouse interest in several other cities,
but the present financial difficulties all
over the country and the general foil
ing off in interest in minor league
baseball operated to thwart the hope*
of league officials. It was not found
possible to finance clubs in any other
cities, and several of the clubs sur
viving last year announced that the.,
could not go on.
No official action was taken yester
day for the reason that a quorum was
not present. Max S. Krilman was;
present to represent Allen town: John
11. Myers for the Reading Club, and
AY. J. Morris for Trenton, ITarrisburg's
representatives was not able to be
present.
It is the desire of the league to
maintain its organization even though
there is no playing this year, on the
chance that It may be possible to re
sume within a year or two tinder bet
ter conditions.
A later meeting will be held in the
hope of maintaining the organization,
but the announcement is final that
there will be no playing in 1915.
President George M. Graham an
nounced that no attempt wUI be made
to hold the players now under reserve,
and that they are free to sign where i
they please.
