FARRELL OFFERS
EBDETS BIG DATE
Yankee Owner Invites Brook.
Iyn Team to Help Open New
Field Next Year.
TO TALK 1T OVER SATURDAY

President Frank ]. Farrell, of the
New York Americans, has offered
Brooklyn the privilege of playing the
first game at Farrell Field, 225th
street and Broadway New York, next
April So far no definite negotiations
on the subject have been made. But
as both parties are willing to have the
matter settled at once the club presi-
dents no doubt will get together next
Saturday afternoon, when the New
Yorks and Brooklyns play the fifth
and deciding game of the inter-
borough series.
Nothing would please me more
than to arrange with Mr. Ebbets for
a set of games each spring for a
period of three or five years." said
Mr. Farrell yesterday. 81 think such
contests admirable for the purposes
of tuning up our clubs for the regu-
lar season. | told Mr.. Ebbets when
l arranged the first Brooklyn series
with him that he might have the
opening date at my new park"
Dodgers Nose Out Worlds Champs.
Two runs behind at the end of the
seventh, the Brooklyn Nationals won
Philadelphia Americans at Ebbets
Field, Brooklyn, yesterday, scoring
twice in the eighth and once In the
ninth. The score was 3 to 2.
For five innings Bush held the
Dodgers to one scratch hit. Burning
relieved him, but was wild, passing
three batters and hitting another,
which, with a sacrifice fly, enabled
Brooklyn to tie the score in the
eighth. The winning run came with
one out Smith singing, stealing sec
ond and coming home on Stengel's
smash to centre.
The hitting throughout the game
was light, the Athletics getting their
lead on ragged fielding by the Dodg-
ers. Ggan was guilty of four mis-
plays. 1t was Worlds Champion Day,
with music and parade of the play
ers in the presence of a crowd even
larger than that which attended the
opening exhibition game.
Gamer for Red Sox?
Del Gamer, one of the veterans OF
the Detroit Baseball Club, may play
first base for the Boston Americans
this season.
Word TO that effect was received in
Detroit last night from Manager Jen-
nings, who is with one OF the Detroit
squads at Cincinnati. Jennings said
he received cash offer from Man
ager Carrigan, of Boston, for Gamer
release, but intends to keep the tall
Southerner at least until the season
is under way. Gamer has been hit
ting hard in the practise games, and
Jennings believes he may recover his
old-time form.
Gamer has been one of the most
unfortunate players in major league
baseball. During the past three sea-
sons he seldom has played a dozen
games without sustaining severe in
jury. His misfortunes started in
1910, when a ball pitched by Jack
Coombs, of Philadelphia, broke his
arm.
Jennings also sent word north that
Dubuc would pitch the opening game
against st, Louis at Detroit next
Tuesday.
