SPORTING NOTES

Finneran, the Lowell pitcher, will re-
port to the Phillies at the close of the
New England league season. Finneran
was the property of the Phllies and let
out to the Philadelphia club under an
optional agreement. He has won more
games for the Lowell team than any of
his teammates.
The big league clubs have placed a
boycott on the Montreal team owing
to the excessive price asked for Gilhool-
ey. All the offers for the player have
been withdrawn and that drafts will
be put in on Gilhooley and no other
player. As result of this the Montreal
club will receive only the drafting price.
Before the boycott was placed on the
club, Owner Litchenheim would have re-
ceived $4,000 and two other players.
