THI-STATE WINJET A PUCE. Spanking's Base Ball Guide Wants the Averages of the Outlaw League Players and Other Matters. That the Tri-State league is not to be again ignored by the publishers of honest base ball guides and matters is proven by the letter which President Carpenter has recehed from the Spaulding publishers of the well-known guide book for the averages of the pJavers a write-up of the season Cirpenfier. last year, through the efforts of former President Cramer, one of the little annuals contained a brief history of the outlaw league. But there was" not a word about the players or the records made.

The prominence in base ball vrhiih the Pennsylvania league attained this summer has made it impossible to treat it with indifference by annual pub- who lay any claim to accuracy and honesty. President Carpenter and lie managers of the various clubs made it one of the most talked-about leagues 5a the country. The major league cali- bre of some of the pLivers makes it important that the public be given their ecords this year, and the publishers nave heard the demand vvith anxious r. Therefore the Tri-State will take place along with the other leagues ol the country. Foot Ball Notes.
