KNABE HOPES TO
SIGN MIKE DOOLAN
Phillies' Star Infielder Seriously
Considering Offer to Join

OTHER PLAYERS WANTED

In an effort to induce Mike Doolan,
star shortstop of the Phillies, and
probably several other players with
the White SoX-Giant party. which re-
turns tomorrow from tour of the
world. to join the Baltimore Feds.
Secretary Harry Goldman and Di-
rector Edward Hanlon will leave for
New York today. At Philadelphia
the two officials of the Monumentals
will probably pick up Manager Otto
Knabe, whise friendship with Doolan
Is expected to go a long way when
the proposition is put up to the
player.
By cablegram, Doolan has informed
the management of the Baltimore in
dependents that he will give any offer
made by them his most careful con-
sideration and the Phillies will have
to do some tall bidding to retain the
backbone of their infield. Mike, &C
cording to reports, would be tickled
to death to play under Knabe, his
former teammate, and, of course,
If he decides to break away from the
organized forces, will give the Bal
timore leader the preference. 1t is
said that Manager Joe Tinker, of the
Chicago Federals, is particularly anX-
iouS to grab Doolan to guard second
base for his club, but 1t is not prob
able that he will break in on any
negotiations between the player and
the Baltimore team.
The officials of the Monumentals
refused to discuss the report that
they would charter a tug in order to

John P. Lawler. of the Irish-Amer-
lean Athletic Association, of Boston,
winner of second place in the "a
pound shot and third in tossing the
56-pound weight at the national in
door championships at New York
Monday night, has undergone the am
putation of the middle finger of his
right hand in the belief that his work
with the weights will be improved
thereby. Several years ago he broke
the finger and the~bone knitted to-
gether badly, causing the digit to be
stiff and rest diagonally across the
others. When he started putting the
shot he found the deformed finger
bothered him greatly. Nevertheless,
he won the New England champion
ship title, although getting only Sec
ond in New York. Lawler believes
that with the finger amputated he will
eventually be able to equal the
worlds record with the shot for dis
lance and with the weight for height.
The operation was performed at the
Boothby Hospital in Boston.
