SUSPEND FINAL ACTION
• ON FUTURE Of TRj-STATE
Pour of the Six Clubs Represented Yes-!
terday and Final Action on Main-1
taining the League Another Season i
Is Postponed—To Meet March 15 |
Philadelphia, Feb. 17.—With four
of the six clubs represented the Tri-!
{State League at its annual meeting held I
at the Majestic Hotel yesterday after-!
noon, decided to suspend final action j
upon the future oif the organization un-;
til March 15, when effort will be made'
to have every club owner in the league j
attend this pow-pow to determine upon
the ultimate outcome of the organiza- j
tion.
It is a well known fact that all the!
clnfos in the Tri-Stu.to League lost i
money last season, and the owners!
present at the conference admitted that
they had to face»a deficit at the expira!
tion of the playing year. However,
they are reluctant to let go their hold-J'
ings and surrender the franchises for'
% which thev were compelled to give their!
money.
George Graham, president of the!
league, in a lengthy discussion of the;
affairs of the organization, reminded the

UK. KLUGH, the weU-kiom aptclaJUt 1
| club owners that they should take warn
j ing t'rom last year's experience and
i hesitate about laying out more capital
I on the gamble of a successful season in
1915.
. The club owners are inclined to take
an optimistic view of the situation.
They believe that when business men of
the towns in the circuit realize that it
| is near dissolution thev will lend finan
cial aid that will enable the clubs to
continue for at least another year.
Mr. Graham was able to offer but
| little encouragement in his annual re
| port. He said there was no ibasis for
the belief that the organization would
| make money this season, tout that he
; was perfectly willing to join the club
| owners in any step they might decide
! to take.
Mr. Graham called attention to the
j fact that the only clubs in the league
i last year who bore their awn financial
| burdens were the Harristburg, Trenton,
I Allentown and Reading clubs. The Wil
: mington and Lancaster franchisee were
j surrendered'by their owners and the
! league assumed the responsibilities of
paying the players. Therefore, he point
! Ed out, there would be only four cluba
in the organizajtion this year should' it
| 'be determined to continue.
The owners who attended the parley,
lat which Mr. Graham held the chair,
i were Max S. Erdman, of Allentowu;
i Mercer B. Tate, of Harrisburg, and Wil
; liam J. Morris, of Trenton. Graham held
the proxy of John H. Meyers, of Bead
ing.

ARRANGE FOR GAME
j Army and Navy Officials Formulate
Plans For Football Classic
New York, Feb. 17.—Preliminary
arrangements for the annual gridiron
strmggle between the Army and Navy
to be held this year at the Polo Grounds
on November 27, were perfected at a
meeting between committees from West
Point and Annapolis and the National
Exhibition Company, of this city. It
was arranged that the local controllers
of the open ampitheatre were to pay
|24,000 to the Army and Navy Keliet
Fund for the privilege of staging the
game.
Tickets control formed an argument
for spirited debate and it was finally
agreed that 25,000 seats would be set
aside for the private use of Army and
Navy officials, their friends and the
students at each institution. This block
of seats will be divided equally be
tween the soldiers and sailors. Also it
was agreed that Army and Navy of
ficials would be given first opportunity
to purchase seats from the remainder.
As the local men figure that 45,000
seats will be obtainable on the day of
the game, this will leave 20,000 seats
for general sale.
John B. Foster, secretary to the local
company, said that two years ago the
Army-Navy struggle attracted 40,000
persons to the Polo Grounds. He stated
j that new arrangements have been per-
I fected whereby 4,000 extra seats can
! be put iu. With 2'0,000 seats for the
i public, it is expected that every one
who cares to see the game can be ac
commodated. The Army was represented
in the meeting by Colonel Cornelius De
Wilcox, Lieutenant Charles B. Meyer
and Captain Daniel 1. Sultan. Lieuten
ant Commander A. P. Fairfield and Sin
clair Gannon, cared for the Navy in

REFORMING A SAVAGE
After the Treatment He Became Quite
a Gentlemanly Chap
In ''Among the Primitive Bakongo"
: John H. Weeks tells the story of a
chief Mampuya of Kinkuzu, who
, called on him at Wathen station to re-
I H uest that a teacher be sent to his
| town. "He seemed a very quiet, gen
tlemanly sort of man," savs Mr.
j Weeks, "and I was very much sur
, prised to hear that he had not always
! been so deferential and modest.
"Mampuya at one time treated the
people of his town in a very con
temptuous fashion and was always ex
! torting, on one plea or another, fowls,
goats and other goods from them.
At last they could bear his extor
. tions no longer, and so thev bound him
securely, put Him on a shelf in his
i own house, built a fire under him and
sprinkled a quantity of red pepper on
| it. Then they went out and shut the
door closely behind them. The pungent
smoke filled the hut, and Mampuva
sneezed tremendously. He would have
died if there had been a little more
pepper on the fire.
'•At last thy took him out of the
smoke and tied a stick across his chest
to his extended arms with the intention
of punishing him still further, but thev
let him off on payment of a fine and
many promises of better behavior,
which promises he has scrupplously
kept.''
Winning a Violin
The way M. Ysaye, the great violin
ist, became the owner of a Guarnerius
violin dated 1742 was tlhua quaintly
told by himself:
"The Guarnerius was bought in Paris
bv a pupil of mine, a charming young
woman. 1 envied her the violin, and
fate gave it to me. I teach tlhis pupil,
and by and by I meet her sister, a most
lovely young woman, with whom I fall
in love straightway and marry. Soon I
go to my who was my
pupil, and say to her:
" 'lt is time you stop fooling with
a violin. You will never leiarn how to
play it.' I take the liberty of a big
brother, but she do not like it foir long
time. At last She suecum'b to my ex
perience and wisdom, and she stops
playing. Then I say grandiloquently:
" ' I will take the Guarnerius, 1742.'
1 take it, and that is how the violin
came into the possession of Ysaye."
