Claims He Was Raflroaded to the
Minors by Frank Farrell.
New York, Feb. 1s.-Harry wolter. the
veteran outfelder, was greatly surprised
and nettled when informed Of his re-
lease by the Yankees to the Los Angeles
Club, of the Pacific Coast League. wolter
charges that Frank Farrell, president Of
the Yankees, with sending him to the
minors without asking for waivers on
him from the other American League
clubs.
The contract offered Wolter by the Los
Angeles management calls for less than
half the salary he received with the
Yankees last season, and he declares
that unless the management Of the
Angels agrees to pay him as much as he
received here last season he will jump
to the Federals.
Harry is quoted as saying:
1T is a clear case Of railroading. Frank
Farrell never asked waivers on me and
Is trying to send me to the minors with
out giving me a chance to get on with
somt other American League club. I
will sign with the Angels for the same
salary I received from the Yankees. but
will not accept any contract which calls
for a cent less. and unless these terms
ar met I will jump to the Federal
League"

that Chubby Charley" Murphy, boss of
the Cubs, should be chased out Of base
ball.
Mack, who is half owner of the Ath-

an instant that q club owner IL a little
god unto himself.
when a club owner acts detrimental to
his league and baseball in general, as
Murphy has in his treatment OF Evers,"
said Mack, then there Ii cause for an
explanation. Evers was led to believe.
from information in my possession. that
he was to remain as manager OF the
Cubs, and he was allowed to do a great
deal of the preseason work.
1T does not make any difference
whether the Federal League was in the
field or not, Murphy would have come
in for tine condemnation as he has re-
ceived. Baseball Is no place for man
that is not square. and the sooner such
men are run out Of any league the bet |

.GALLAUDET EASY
FOR CATHOLIC j.
Brooklanders Romp Away
with 50 to II Game at
Carroll Hall.
CONTEST Is A FARCE

Catholic University so far outclassed
the Gallaudet basketball quint last night
that the game was turned into a farce,
the Brooklanders taking the long end of
the score. 50 to II. No time during the
contest did the Kendall Green lads have
a look in and at Re end OF the first
period it was just a matter OF how large
the score would be at the end of the
game.
No team work Of any sort was dis
played by the Buff and Blue lads, but
the playing of Rockwell for the Kendall
Greensrs was of the highest order. He
alone scored eleven OF the seventeen
points credited to his team, and without
the services OF this lad the Gallaudet
quint would have been made to look
like beginners instead of college five.
With the exception OF Lambert and
Hinchclif, who took Lambert's place,
every man added points to the Red and
Black score. Tracy led in this respect,
registering eighteen points. while Don
nelly and Keegan had six baskets each
registered beside their names. Cart
wright is credited with eight points
on the sensational.
Tracy Scores.
Catholic University was the first club
to score. Tracy making good at a try
from the foul line. Rockwell evened up
matters shortly afterward with the same
kind of a shot Gallaudets baskets came
few and far between from then on and
were only able to score eleven points in
the first half to twenty-six made by the
Brookland tribe.
The second and final chapter was a
repetition OF the first period, the Cath
Ollie University quint outplaying the boys
from Kendall Green in every department.
Six points was the limit OF the Buff and
Blue quint's scoring, two baskets and
two free losses being made, while the
Red and Black organization managed to
score twenty-four points.
