The directors of the club ordered Manager Auchenbach to pay off all players. The directors took the action when they learned from the president of the league that several other clubs In the circuit were in a bad financial con dition and were on the point of dis banding. The career of the league has been a stormy one and beset with difficulties from the very beginning. The first ohstacle encountered was the oppo sition of the Pennsylvania State League, but even after that organ ization passed awav and only was a memory trouble still pursued the At lantic leaguers.

Many com plications turned up last night and Manager George Cockill was busy until a late hour this morning in communi cation by telephone and telegraph with President J. H. Farrell. The first snag came lesterday when President Farrell wired Manager Cockill wired that he would pay noth not play here unless Harrisburg paid an additional sum of SIOO. Manager Cickill wired that he would pay noth ing but what the league rules called for and that it was not necessary for extra guarantee, as the car fare given out by President Farrell was rather excessive. Then came the announcement that. Poughkeepsle had made a strong bid for the Troy franchise and a meeting of the league would be held to have a vote taken. If Impossible to hold a meeting, a vote by wire will be taken. Five out of seven re presentatlves favor Harrisburg: according to reports. Troy Belongs Here In a statement by Manager Cockill to-day It was said the Poughkeepsle deal is only talk. Papers turned over to the local manager by Lew Wachter give the Troy team to Harrisburg. Owner Wachter gave notice yesterday that he would not return to Troy and that he had completed the deal with Harrisburg. There is a strong belief here that the efforts yesterday looked like a holdup for more money. Manager Cockill said he intended to make a fight for the Troy team if Poughkeepsie is given the franchise. Someone will have to answer to a higher tribunal. The money has been paid on the first instalment and there has been considerable expense in tele phone and telegraph tolls since last Saturday. Those Interested in bring ing the team to Harrisburg are of the opinion that it is too late for any per son to interfere now, and trouble will follow in case Harrisburg is not given a-square deal. Ing gunplay, conducive to thrills. As a purely fictional effort it is good. It is not so effective as "The Birth of a Na tion," but it is less objectionable in the man. The caricaturing of a former Secretary of State, however, is, to say the least, in bad taste. It will prob ably be eliminated later, as it serves no good purpose and cannot be too strong ly decried. LOCAL THEATERS It is easy for those who have seen Marguerite Clark on the screen in her previous Fa "Molly Make-Relieve" mous Players nt the Regent productions to Imagine her teasing her indulgent grandmother, or dering her .small brother around the house, keeping a whole family agog by her impudent refusal to stay home, finally running away from home with her diminutive brother and com mandeering a freight train in order to reach the city where she intends to search for a position. These are some of the things which she does in the Famous Players-Paramount adaptation of Eleanor Hallowell Abbott's story and book, "Molly Make-Believe," in which she is starring to-day and to-morow at the Regent.

It is expected that the businessmen at Reading will throw up the sponge to-day. The new organization with SI,OOO is unable to take over the lease of Lauer's Park, and will not have a field on which to play. When the Pennsylvania State League was totter ing the Atlantic League leader called attention to thefactthatnotwithstand ing rain and bad weather the league was going all right. Now comes the story that its downfall is due to bad weather. The Braves and Reds had a sixteen battle yesterday without a run. It was some battle. Tony and Schneider held the braves to three hits. Cincin nati's hingles were scattered. Manager George Cockiil is going after young blood. His signing up of Kuker, the young shortstop, was time ly. He is a hoy who is in the game to make good, and no matter how much panning he gets from more ex perienced players he never loses his head.
