Lajoie to be Given Consideration by Ebbets. Although under baseball law Na- poleon Lajoie now is the legal pro- perty of the Brooklyn club, having been purchased for.$3,000 from the Toronto club prior to the disband- ment of the International League, Col. Ebbets said at New York that he did not intend to coerce the fam- ous player, who prefers to manage the Indianapolis American "Associa- tion club Ebbets said that he had wired Lajoie to come here fof a talk and that J. J. McCaffery, of the To- ronto club, would be on hand too If Lajoie refuses point blank to ac- cept the Brooklyn club's terms, Eb- 'bets probably will declare that he is a free agent, in the sense that he can sign with the Indianapolis club. "'Lajoie belongs to the Brooklyn |club," said Ebbets. "Our claim to his services is legal and it would be sustained by the National Commission beyond a question of doubt. We need Lajoile onthe Brooklyn team, and we have made a liberal offer to him.

On Feb- ruary 2nd of this year, the death was recorded of John L. Sullivan, the only and original champion of the modern prize ring." Terry McGov- ern, the lightweight marvel, was the next to go, his death taking place on February 22nd. Our own John F Scholes, great boxer and follower of the game though an amateur him- self, but as good as most profession- als in the ring, passed away on March 4th. Mike Donovan, who was the boxing teacher of Mr. Roosevelt, died on March 24th. and Mitchell's name is added to the list.
