WANT HARRISBURG FOR NEW LEAGUE A 1 Lawson Is of Opinion That He Can Make Baseball Pay in Harrisburg A 1 Lawson. Atlantic League pro moter, is coming to Harrisburg next week. That is the report received to day. He Is anxious to Include this city in his new organization. Lawson is of the opinion that the Atlantic League is the logical successor to the old Tristate League. A dispatch from Allentown says: "AI Lawson, one of the pioneers of the old Atlantic League, and who helped give Allentown good baseball in 1907, proposes launching a new eight-team league next Spring. Since the demise of the Tristate League there has been a clamor for repre sentative baseball. Lawson has four teen cities lined up as prospective baseball towns. They are: Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Reading, Potts ville, Paterson, Elizabeth, Perth Ain boy, Trenton, Chester, Wilmington, York, Lancaster and Harrisburg. Law son points out that Sunday ball could be played to paying crowds at Pater son, Elizabeth, Perth Arnboy and Pottsville. His pick of these towns would be Allentown, Bethlehem, Eas ton, Reading, Pottsville, Paterson, Elizabeth and Perth Amboy. "He says the declaration of peace In the baseball war is going to put a number of high class players on the market at less than the fancy salaries they have been demanding. He says 1 he does not know whether the league will be under protection of organized ball and that this matter did not worry him. "Lawson promoted the Atlantic League in 1907, when seven of the teams went through the season and made money. This Is something un usual in minor league ball and some thing the Tristate League failed to accomplish during its existence."

LIABILITY LAW NOW IN OPERATION State Officials Prepared For the New Law Relative to Workmen's Claims Seven Pennsylvania companies or associations have been granted char ters and six casualty companies from other States granted permission to en gage in business in this State for the handling of employers' liability insur ance under the new workmen's com pensation system which becomes op erative throughout the Keystone State to-day. Papers for Incorporation of other companies are pending. In addition to these concerns the State workmen's insurance fund is also established and it is believed by the officials in charge of it that approxi mately 4,000 policies in the State fund will be written before the end of Jan uary. It starts with over ?,000 poli cies reported. Although to-day is a holiday, the compensation system is effective to day and the referees and other offi cials will take office to-day. The State board will meet here on Monday to consider any further details of or ganization which may arise and the Insurance Fund Board will meet on Wednesday. Over 250 of the big railroads and manufacturing' companies of the State, together with a score or so of cities and as many school hoards, have been granted exemption from necessity of carrying liability insurance and more applications will be considered on Monday. Referees in the State workmen's compensation system, which went into effect throughout Pennsylvania to-day, will be required to hold hearings at places "most convenient to all parties concerned" in their district, according to the rules of procedure announced by the State Compensation Board. The rules cover all the procedure before the board or a referee and set forth that all hearings shall be open to the public. A complete set of instructions for the making of agreements for dis ability or death, for making of claims, petitions and answers and other pro cedure, has been prepared by the board, the methods being reduced to a system such as is practiced before the Public Service Commission, the Hoard of Pardons and the State fiscal authorities. One of the main objects, apparently. Is for the referees to endeavor to get the parties in a claim to reach an agree ment without litigation, and they may call, for purposes of investigation, in spectors from the Department of La bor and Industry or they may make an investigation of their own when the evidence adduced is contradictory. When a medical question is raised the referee may name a physician or sur geon to make an examination and he is also required to see that claimants or respondents who do not have coun sel are protected in their rights. State officials do not expect many of the early cases to reach the board for some time. PLAYERS MUST STAND FOR CUT No Fancy Salaries This Season Is Magnates' Uutimatuin; Pitchers Lose Out Chicago, 111., Jan. 1. —Demon Dave Davenport, wizard twirler of the St. Louts Feds, is not the only slabbist who may be forced to bend them over next season at reduced salary. Trail ing in the wake of the announcement that the angular right-hander had un wittingly "boxed" his flnacial status by spurning a Fed contract while flirting with the Reds came In the tip to-day that one of Comiskey's veteran pitch ers. "Reb" Russell, was unsigned for 1616. In the words of a prominent base ball official, the Texan will be asked to affix his monicker to a document calling for less money than he received in 1914 and 1915. "Whether or not. Russell was striv ing to land a fat job with ftie Federals for IS 16 or was holding out on the White Sox In an effort to gain a salary increase is a question I cannot an swer," said the man making this dis closure. "The fact remains, however, that the club owners are determined to do away with fancy contracts and those players who failed to get in line at the close of the 1915 season are cer tain to be offered terms considerably bolow those given when they last signed."

JANUARY 1, 1916. welly'sßgorner Al Lawson, promoter of outlaw baseball leagues, Is coming to Harris burg next week, according to reports. He wants to place a club in this city, and believes he has money-making plans to offer. Of course, it would have to be outlaw baseball. The Tri state League has not given up its ter ritory.

After a two months' season of high class sport, It is a question whether paying crowds could be mustered for Atlantic League games. As it is a foregone conclusion that there will be no In ternational League baseball in Harris burg, the only proposition to be con sidered is a New York State League franchise.
