Gossip Going the Rounds
That New Haven, and
Wilkes-Barre May Meet
in Post-SeasonfSeries
There has been some talk in the
New York State Leagtie of. arranging
a post-season series‘ between New
.llawn, pennant winners of the litt‘ét-
ern League; and Wilkes-Barre, cham-
pions of the New York State League.
Arrording to the gosnip efforts are be-
5115: made to consider the matter, but
it 5: likely that nothing will develop,
as many players have departed for
their homes, and, furthermore, Mun-
:tgt‘l‘ Calhoun of the Barons is not
inclined to go through with any ser-
ies of 11m kind because of the fact
that Several of his plovers will be
called in the draft for the army seer-i
vice and he would not favor the stag-'
log of such a series if he was forced
to use 11 weak lineup.
The. Wilkes-Barre club not only
loses players through the selectivo
draft, but several New Haven plttvers’
have been, moved as well, which
leaves the. matter entirely out of (41105:
lion. '
Ilztd the proposition come to the
minds of the club owners prior to
the tormiflion of both leagues, un-
doubtedly such a series would al'Olls‘t‘
interest to the utmost. as woll :1":
mid considerably to their editors. The
duct is, therefore, deplored, that the
(tumors were not. working for such :1
writ-s; before both leagues: sounded
the windup.
Each member of tho “dikes-Burro
club received a check for $100 froth ‘
owner Johnson for winning: the New
(York State League pennant. Among,
the lucky players known in this son-T
lion 11w Tuero, Weltwr and» Ol‘t‘llt‘,
who pautlmt'd in the Eastern League
last season.
