GUNBOAT SMITH
 NOT GERMAN BOY
By F. s. Andrews.)

Up to the present week it was the impression that Gunboat Smith was of Herman descent and bornsein the good state of Minnesota, but es the father of Gunboat with an alfbd.a The following letter was received by the writer, dated Philadelphia: e'I no-s tice by the record books that Gun boat Smith is of German parentSge and born in Minnesota. Such is not true. He is my son and was never in Minnesota unless of late. His name is not Edward Eckblad, but Edward Smith and he was born in Phi1adeI- phia. I, his father, was born in Coun- ty Antrim, Ireland; while his mother was born in County Tyrone, .Ireland.''
 There has always been doubt as to the nationality of Gunboat and this will clear up the matter once and for all. There have been many fine fight CTS by the name of Smith and 1t is hoped that Gunboat will keep up the good record for the house Of Smith. His defeat of Arthur Pelkey must make his father feel like getting into. the game himself and the chances are that when Gunboat again lands at home there will be some celebration. He was hot after a match with will sail soon for Australia, the. chances are that Gunf3oat. will have a considerable length of time to wit, as Georges will soon have to enter the, army of France. ssszs4,--. as

FEDERALS AFTER
 TYRUS COBB NOW
Offer Him sf5, ,O0O a Year to
 Sign With Outlaw League.


 It was bound to come After mak- ing fabulous offers to Walter John son, Joe Wood, Jake Daubert. the Federals went and done It. We felt it in the air for quite a while, and now it has happened. They are after Tyrus Raymond Cobb, Georgia Peach, and pretty fair batter as batters go. fTyrus was approached in the usual Federal manner; there was no secrecy about the matter President Gilmore sat in his Chicago office surrounded by newspaper men, when the inspira- ton came over him. He wrote a. tele- gram to Ty offering him a riye-year contract for $15,008 per annum- Cobb is offered the first years salary in ad- vance, while the remaining $50, GOO will be put in escrow. 1ss-..s.s. l. Gilmore said the league had decided to make Cobb this offer after they had heard that the king of ball play CTS had not yet signed his Detroif ! contract. It was generally supposed that Tyrus had come to terms with Detroit for the coming season, as he recently wrote a public letter to Pres adent Navin, in which he said ne was very well pleased to remain with the Detroit club.
 President Barrow, of the Interna- tiona1 league. says he and George sta1lings spent day at Cobbis home, when he was visiting Stallings ulantation and Cobb said at tha t time that he had signed with Detroit for the coming year.

The substance of this was that the Dodgers consider Tinker their prop .erty and are holding 5000 for him until he signs with them. stThe deal with Cincinnati stands as it was made last month"; said Ebbets, t'and, the bonus is being held. for Tinker.
