ARABI Ah BAA Bi World of Spo Sam Bohne, an infielder, has been bought by the St. Paul Claud of the Association from the Louis Nationals. St. Earl Blackburn, a catcher, was sold by the Boston Nationals today to "the Chicago Nationals. He was a member of the local club last year, but was farmed out to the Provi- dence ¢lub. . Blackburn goes to Chi- Cago on waivers. The Cleveland Americans will not have a captain this season, Lee Fohl, manager of the club, will act in the dual capacity as captain and man- "The idea of a captain is a joke, 10 my way of thinking," Fohl explained: "The captain of a ball team has no more power than a manager on the bench, providing the manager is in uniform, and I'll be out there every day." Joe McGinnity, the "iron will be in the Northwestern League again this year. Joe is 44 wears old. Hamilton promoters the organization of a sémi-profess- ional team in that city.

Factory Town Will Again Have Team in NL.U, A Cornwall despatch says reference to the rumor emanating from Ottawa that the Cornwall La- crosse Club is going to drop out of the N.L.U. this year or until after the war, officers of the club know nothing of such an intention.- Corn- wall has been in the lacrosse game for many years, sticking to it when others failed, and it seems almost in- credible that a heave should occur at' this stage. This town has been known for a decade as "the Nursery of Lacrosse" and has produced some of the best players in the game, for it is a well-known fact that Mont- real, Ottawa and Toronto teams, which have landed the pennant, have had Cornwall boys on their line-up. ------------------ Expects to Go to Sweden, Eugene Brosseau, of Montreal, the amateur boxing champion of America at 158 !bs., has hopes that he may be sent to the boxing championships to be held in Sweden this year. See- retary Rubien, of the Amatéyr-Ath- letic Union of America, is to select three men to send, and Brosseau thinks he has a claim upon one of the three places. "This," Brosseau says, "was one of the inducements held out in Boston to enter the championships. If there are three men selected, 1 think Murphy, of Kansas City, 'who has won an Am- erican championship two years in succession, and myself, who 'have won one, two years in succession ought to get the first chance, and John Gaddi, of New York, the heavy- weight champion, ought to be the third man." Brossean has clippings from the Boston papers in which - it is sald that his actions as a boxer were more like those of a regular professional. than the actions of any of the other entrants in the tour- naments, | -------- Looks For Close Race, John K.

Last year the men who batted in the .300 class were Holke, Chase, McCarty, { Daubert, Hinchman, Hornsby, Wheat {and Robertson of the National Jeagye; also Speaker, Cobb, Jackson, Spencer, Rumler, Strunk, E. Collins, | Gardner, Veach, Sisler and Felsch of | the American league. Will this num- ber be further reduced this year? If | so, there will be a general demand | for more batting. | Jeers Affect Wagner. Should it follow that Honus Wag- ner, one of the greatest ball players of all time, persists in his determina- tion to retire from the pastime, the Jeers of certain disloyal and un- thinking fans will have been RERpot- sible. Wagner loves baseball and there is no disposition on his part to quarrel with President Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg over the matter of salary. But there does rankle the bitter re- membrance that aftet many years of faithful and meritorious service, he was jeered and hooted in his home city because of certain shortcomings on his part. Second Sacker Released. Steve Yerkes, second baseman with the Chicago Nationals, was released vesterday to the Indianapolis club of the American Association. Yerkes, a former Pittsburg Federal, is under a Federal League contract calling for {$6,500 a year. His release is taken to mean that Larry Doyle will be in condition to play second.. 9 . How's This?

"In YH¥ history of the American i league there was never a year when | the organization was so well equip- ped for a championship race. A few | days ago I' received a letter from | Connie Mack, in which he gave me | the assurance that he had a vastly | improved team over the club of last | year, and one that was sure to prove a factor in the championship con- | test. If we can accept: this declara-; tion, then there are eight contenders well balanced for a gruelling fight! this season. | "Every one will concede that Chi-| cago, Boston, New York and Detrdit!| are bound 'to be prime favorites. ! The Cleveland club has been greatly | strengthened, which is) attésted by| the fact that Morton shows this early | in the spring all the strength he de-| veloped in the beginning of last sea-| son, Joe Wood claims his right arm has been well restored, so with Co- veleskie Bagby and Kliepfer in sup-| port, Cleveland is sure to have a formidable staff of pitchers. i "Many wise baseball men contend- | last fall that New York would | have carried off the prize had it not been 'for the innumerable accidents that put some of its best players out | of\ commission during the simmer. i The St. Louis club, under the] leadership of Jones, must be reckon, ed with, Had the Browns started] their tremendous drive a bit earlier in the =eason, the pennant might | have gone to the organization re-| presenting the spirit of the Senators, | under the guidance of that wise and, skilled manager, Clark Griffth "War may place an'indelible mark | be seen, thorough and exciting from the tap of the bell until the finish in October" | stamp out a contest that is sure ml { GIANTS A STRONG CHOICE. --r---- { Six to Five Favorities--Take Your | Pick in American. I A tour of four places in New York) where big bets are made on baseball | disclosed the fact that the Giants are| 6 to 5 favorites 'or winning the Na- | tional League pennant, and ardent] followers of the club are showing | signs of worry. Never in diamond | history has a low-priced favorite car- | ried off the honors. There is a be-| lief that such a responsibility is too much for.a team to carry, and Giant fans are anxious. Just the same, Arnold Rothstein has made a bet of $1,000 on: Me- Graw's club, for which he got 7 to 5. Since then the price has shortened. Jehn Staley, a big better of Pitts. burg, wired Jack Doyle for prices the other day. adding the informa- tion that th® best that could he got in Pittsburg was 6 to 5. He said that thousands of dollars had been laid at that place. + Most of the big betting in baseball is done at Pittsburg and New York, ithe prices laid against the other clubs. You can get 3 to 1 against any other team in the National League. For teams like the Reds, the Pirates and the Cardinals you can practically write your price. In the. American League there.is no favorite. Yanks, Red Sox, White Sox and Tigers are all 2 to 1, and you can have your pick. The gamb- ling element believes none of these four clubs has a chance. Ray of Hope For Baseball, Every eloud, it is sajd. has its silv- er lining. The lining in this case seemingly belongs to the baseball magnates, for if college competitions of all sorts are abolished, because of the war, as is probable; the sport lover, perforce, will be ebliged to turn to baseball. : This is not saying, however, that baseball will be benefited by war' Quite the contrary is true.
