KINSELLA EvENS SCORE.
Takes Three Straight Squash Games
From Feron for Title.

NEW YORK. December 24.-In a
slashing five-game match Walter Kin
sella, champion of the Squash Club,
turned the tables on Stephen j. Feron
of the Harvard Club, the national pro-
fessional champion, in their second
match to decide the title on the court
of the Squash Club yesterday. The final
scores were 9-15, Ills, 15-9, 15-13,
15-6.
The twelve-year title holder began
by taking the opening game with little
trouble, and in adding the second to
mis- credit the spectators looked for
Feron to win in three straight games.
In the second contest Kinsella at one
time led by 11-4, but Feron took the
service and, gathering eleven aces on
five hands, while he held his opponent
scoreless, took the match.
Both players worked their hardest in
the third game kinsella, forcing the
Feron started off poorly in the fourth
game, but rallied until the score stood
at 13--9. The Harvard player carried
the fight up to 14-13, when Kinsella
gained his final ace to win on a neat
placement shot.
Although the men had a two-minute
rest before the fifth game started both
players showed the effects of the gruel-
ing match. With the prospects of a
victory looming up, Kinsella pressed
his advantage. winning easily by 15-6.

VIRGINIA LEAGUE DEMAND.

NEW YORK, December 24.-President
Edward c. Barrow of the International
League did not seem bit worried yester-
day at the action Of the Virginia League
Tuesday in ignoring the call for a spe-
cial meeting to consider the transfer of
the Baltimore club to Richmond. When
the invasion by the Internationals into
Richmond was discussed here at the meet
ing few weeks ago it was practically
decided to reimburse the Virginia League
for the surrender Of the Richmond terri
tory by the payment Of $4,000.
It is now stated that the Virginia
League will not consent to the transfer
of Baltimore to Richmond unless it re-
ceives $4,000. This is considered an ex-
orbitant price by the International League.
and it is very likely that It will refuse
to nay it.. The matter will be put up
to the national commission for adjust
ment.
The International League meeting has
been called for January 10 in this city,
when each Of the eight clubs will be
asked to deposit $4,000, which will be
used as a war fund against the Federal

insists that the Feds will stop Walter

Tinker insists that Griffith bluffed
Johnson into signing with Washington

proper time. Tinker figures that he
knows more about jumping than any

for the signing Of Johnson, he is par

It looks as if Charley Doom Is going

Doom does not want to stay with the
Phfl1ies, team which he has managed
for the past Ave seasons, and he ap-
pears to be barred by the Feds. Other
major league clubs are not asking him
for his terms, and he really believes
he is out in the cold and unable to
catch on anywhere. For a time Doom
threatened to go. to the Feds, but the
outlaws turned cold shoulder to him,
and, unless some other one Of the big
clubs decides to take him on, he is apt
to spend an idle summer.

pitcher and the outlaw organization.
the case are decidedly doubtful if the
Feds will go into court in an effort
to enjoin johnson from playing with
the Washington club. 1t is question
able If any one would advise taking the
matter into court, for the reason that
Johnson's contract with the Washing
ton club was in force when he made
the leap to the Feds. The fact also
remains that Johnson has not violated
that contract. because he has never
played with any club but the Wash
ington club since he earned a dollar in
salary as a ball player. He signed
with the Feds, but did not play with
them-a fact which is apt to have an
important bearing on the case
T Aside from sowing discomfort, just
what the object of the Federal League
can be in approaching players who are
under contract to organized base ball
for next season is hard to understand.
Even IL such players should be foolish
enough to sign with the Feds there is
not a chance for them to play there.

BY JOHN GRUBER.

There have been players who broke
into fast company as substitutes and
gained a permanent position only after
years Of waiting. Their value at some
particular position was generally dis
covered accidentally and they rose to
some distinction in the game. George
Moriarty belonged to this class. He
wandered around for four years in the
major league before he was perma-
nently placed. AS a substitute he was
among the best, and finally when he
obtained lasting job at Detroit, he
became a most reliable third baseman.
Moriarty, who was Moriarity when he
started. but dropped the second 'i' in
his name after he Joined the Detroits,
was born in Chicago, July I, 1884. He
played his first professional game in
1903 with the Springfield, Ill, team OF
the Indiana Jllinoi Iowa League, com
monty known as the Ihree-Eye
League. beginning as an outfielder. NJ
though his batting was rather light.
his fielding was of kind to attract at
tention. He was obtained by Frank
Selee for the Chicago Cubs, and took
part in the last game of the season,
September ~. 1903. He played, at third
base, subbing for DIR. James Casey. The
game was won by Chicago from Bos-
ton, 10 to 3, Bob Wicker pitching tor
Chicago and John ]. Carney for Bos-
ton.
Another player who later became
prominent also that day played his
first game in the National League, and
the only game he ever played for the
Chicago Cubs. He was John Banner
man Mclean. now generally referred to
, as Larry" Mclean. Larry came from
the Nashua team of the New England
League. This was his second plunge
into the major leagues The Boston
Americans in 1901 got him from st.
| Johns. Halifax. and placed him on first
base He was with the Red SoX until
August, when he was released to Wor-
cester. Later he played with Spring
field, Mass. and Norwich. and finally
landed in Nashua. whence he went to
Boston.
