TRI-STATE TO ENLARGE TO
AN EIGHT-CLUB CIRCUIT
Committee Meeting in New York Sees
Seven Clubs Assured and Another
Expected—Buck Freeman and Jack
Deal Want to Come in
New York, Dee. 10. —A committee
meeting of the Tri-State League wan
held at the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday.
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. Clearwater easily defeated
Sehrivev in four straight matches in
the Imperial pool parlors at 1239 Mar

to-day centered about the negotiations
for the sale of the New York elub to
•Colonel Jacob Ruppert, Jr. President
' Johnson, who had been conducting the
negotiations, said last night that the
deal was still a possibility and this has
given rise to reports that a compro

Consumers' Electric Company, of Pitts
ton, Obtains Favorable Billing
The first opinion in a State case
involving an appeal from a decision of
tho Public Service Commission was i
tiled here by Judge McCarrell late yes
terday afternoou. 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.
