COLLEGE ATHLETIC NOTES

a team from either Heidelberg,
Leipsic or Stuttgart universities in
Germany will participate in the relay
games in Philadelphia in 1915, accord
ing to a prediction made by Alvin
Kraenzlein in a letter received at the
University of Pennsylvania.
Kraenzlein, who was a star hurdler,
Splinter and broad jumper when at
Pennsylvania, is now coaching Ger
man athletes in preparation for the
next Olympic games. He said in his
letter that the relay runners at the
German universities ARE not at pres
ent of sufficient calibre to compete
with the representatives of the large
American colleges, but after a year
of competent coaching should be able
to give the best teams a good race"

Doom Comes Back.


just to enliven the baseball situa-
ton and furnish gossip for one day,
Charley Doom, manager Of the Phil
lies, and William T. Mccullough, sec
rotary of the Pittsburgh Federal
League Club. are having a contro-
versy. Mccullough, stung by the at
tacks on the Federal League by
Doom, gave out a letter in Pittsburgh
yesterday, which he alleges was writ
ten by Doom, stating that the Phil
lies manager offered to jump to the
Federal League and take along four
Of his players. Doom in Toronto
denied that he ever wrote Mccullough
a letter or that he ever expressed q
willingness TO jump to the Federal
League. Doom said that he would
go to Pittsburgh and would demand
an apology or take action in the civil
courts. President Baker, of the Phil
lies. did not think the matter was
worth discussing. He said that it was
a personal affair between Doom and
Mccullough, and that Doom was
foolish to reply to the so-called
charges. "It is funny" said Mr..
Baker. that a player who was get
ting $1,000 year. as Doom was in
1912, would want to leave organized
baseball and go with an outlaw club
for $1,000. That is something I can't
understand

As a result of a recent conference
between President Frank Farrell, of
the New York Americans, and Presi-
dent Joseph ]. Lannin, of the Boston
Red Sox, the New York Club is likely
to get two or more players from the
Boston team before the season opens,
II was said. Manager Chance is anx
ious to get infielders and pitchers.
and as Boston is well supplied in
both departments, he hopes to benefit
by a deal with the Red Sox. The Fed
eral League raid on the Yankees
which has taken King Cole, Zeider
and Ford and threatens to deprive
the club of Sweeney and Cree, has
left gaps in the lineup which only
some deal can ill.
