"There "is room in February for a new holi ir mm. liamsport is no longer on the Tri State circuit. The sale of the baseball team and franchise to Wilmington parties was made yesterday afternoon at Wilmington, when Peter F.

Cassidy, who is at the head of the movement to place a club in the Delaware city, handed to George W. Heckert a check for $2,400, representing the purchase price of the Williamsport players and franchise. "While Williamsport will have no team in the Tri State League in 1911. Secretary Tom Gray is of the opinion that the sale does not mean the end of Tri State baseball In this city. He is optimistic enough to believe that one season without leabue ball will convince Williamsport fans that a ball team is a mighty good thing and that by 1912 there will be enough support forthcoming to warrant the buying of a franchise from some other city and again getting into the game.
