President George M. Graham presided. John H. Meyers, of the Heading team; "William G. Morris, of the Trenton club, and Max Er '.man, of the Allentown team, attended. Harrisburg was repre sented by proxy. The sense of the meeting was that j the league would operate as an eight club circuit instead of six. York, Gaston nud I jam- aster seek franchises, while it is also asserted that Wilmington will return. ••iint k" Freeman has the backing for a club in York, and Jack Deal is anxious to lead a Tri-State club in Lan caster. With seven teams virtually assured, Tri-State prospects appear bright. The backers of 1914 are all anxious to stick again for another year. The league will take definite action in January. > The circuit then would be Harris burg, AUentown, Trenton, Heading, ncaster, V'ork, Wilmington aud one other city to be selected. It ought not to be u difficult task to pick out an- i otlier city within the territory already ! covered bv the Tri-State big an 1 gen erous enough to support a Tri-State baseball club. Tins is a plan that magnates in the (■raiiam League h"Vp been doping since the six-club plan was adopted. It nev er was rery popular but it was' diffi cult in view of the business that was being done in the league to interest any more clubs, but with "Buck" Free man. who played Tri-State baseball in Harrisburg and Jack Deal, who played Tri-State baseball in Harrisburg and Lancaster, anxious to get into tlw> game, prospects seem brighter than ever. This will give <>eorge Heekert a chance to get a Tri-State team. It would seem like old times again. Clearwater Wins Easily W. H.

It came in the suit of the Consumers' Electric Company, of Pittston, against the Commission and the Citizens' Illuminating Company, of Pittston, as party defendants. However, the main issuo involved in j the suit is not decided by the Court's ruling. Judge McCarrell simply holds I that the appeal of the Consumers' com pany from the Service Commission's! decision was taken within tho time pre scribed by law. It was alleged that the appeal bad not beeh filed in timo. When the borough of Pittston and tho Citizens' Illuminating Company re cently entered i{rto a contract for light ing the streets of the town the Con sumers' Company objected to the Serv ice Commission approving the contract. When the agreement was approved by the State body the Consumers' Company took an appeal. The Citizons' com|>anv then asked the Court to strike off the appeal, de claring that it was not filed in time. The Court holds differently. The main issue in the case will now be presented to the Court through argument and a decision rendered thereon. Clarke to Stay With Pirates Winfield, Kan., Dec. 10.
