NEED READING TO MAKE GAME SURE George Cockill Will Report Conditions Saturday Night; Utica Not For Sale Harrisburg cannot count much on getting the Utica franchise. Every j indication points to that city remain-! ing in the New York State league. ' George Cockill will explain conditions as they are on the Farrell circuit on ! Saturday night. He has notified the local promoters that he will be In Harrisburg sometime during the eve ning. A price said to be much less than $4,000 has been fixed. As has been announced from the start there is no value to a New York franchise in Harrisburg unless Read- j ing or Allentown joins in the move ment. According to reports from Scranton there are two undesirable towns in the league. Albany and Troy. Utica. it is said is out of the project, since the sale of players, but the gen eral opinion prevails that it is too good a town to be dropped. Two Undesirable Towns Owners of Troy and Albany frail- j chises have been given ten days to decide whether there shall be a sale. Jimmy Sheckard was sent to Read-! ing with instructions to prepare a proposition to submit to the league. In the meantime a request has been tiled with the National Association of Professional Clubs, to hold Reading and Harrisburg for organized base-1 ball and accept no other application.' This means that A 1 Lawson will not \ be able to get recognition from or ganized baseball. The belief is that | when the Atlantic League protnotor learns this fact, he will cease his activity, as an outlaw organization at this time, in the opinion of many, cannot exist.

FOR 25 CENTS Cluztt reABODra caiwc.ntcnr ICY. WELLYS WGORNER i Once more it looks as if a base ball league was using Harrlsburg as a means to force magnates in several towns to make good. The informa tion which came to Harrlsburg last night, was that Troy and Albany were likely to be on the market. The sale of Evans and other players by Utlca gives that town a financial boost, and that club, it is said, is not for sale. Time is too short to dilly dally about propositions. What Harrlsburg backers should do, is to send word to J. H. Farrell, president of the New York State League that Harrlsburg wants to get into baseball. That If Rending wants to come in, terms on which the new towns will be admit ted should be made known at once. Harrlsburg is willing to pay a rea sonable sum for a team, providing that Heading will join hands and se cure a franchise. That the baseball season is not far off, is shown in the departure of John J. McGraw for Cuba, and other man agers for Southern cities. It will not be many days before the players will be packing grips and Join the rush to Florida and other training camps. There will be no trouble this year in holding squads. The Federals are out of business and spies will be missing. "Peace is declared, the fight is o'er. But who'll defray the cost of war? Who Is it that will pay the bill? The magnate? Yes. like Kelly will."
