Indianapolis Club Likely to Be

CHICAGO, February 13.-Another big

Yesterday about Chicago are true. The
latest is that the Indianapolis club.

be transferred to New York instead of
the Kansas City team as announced
recently. Further rumors were that the
Kansas City club might be showed into

WHO IS DOING THE FOOLNG
AND WHO IS BEING FOOLED
Disappointment Expressed in Detroit Over
Showing of Rupert and Huston in
Deal for Pipp and High.

Now that the New York club has
dropped negotiations for the purchase
of Walter Pipp and Hugh High of the
Tigers-Bill Donovan, Wednesday, tell
ing the two youngsters that he could
not accede to their terms-one leading
question presents itself. 1t is:
Have Rupert and Huston got Ban
Johnson fooled, or is Johnson handing
a bunch of bunk to the American
League public? writes Joe jackson in
the Detroit News.
This question is based on Mr.. John
sons lavish praises of the two New
York owners, whom he has told the
people are intensely loyal. and I'm
mensely valuable additions to the mag
nate membership of his circuit.
AS a matter of fact. it begins to look
as if New York, in the ownership sense,
enced magnates who will require much
base ball education before they become
valuable additions. Also. that wild
Bill Donovan has before him some
soul-searing days.
1t is known that Pipp's demands
were for two-year contract and a so
per cent increase in salary. That, in
view of the way other players are
being treated, and the stipend the
youngster is signed for here, is not un-
reasonable. High asked for more money
than his Detroit contract gives him.
Donovan was forced to turn down
both men. and to allow Detroit to re-

INDOOR TENNIS PLAY
STARTS WITH UPSET
Harold Throckmorton Put Out in
First Round-Watson Also
Defeated.

NEW YORK. February 13-Lawn
tennis fans were treated early to their
first surprise of the tournament for the
national indoor championship, which
started yesterday at the courts of the
7th Regiment Armory. Play had hardly
begun when Harold Throckmorton
metropolitan Junior champion and
Princeton interscholastic champion
was defeated by R. J. Sommer, prac-
tically newcomer. in straight sets at
IS. Ga. Throckmorton's defeat, how
ever, was not due so much to the good
play Of his opponent as to his own
weakness, for he was unsteady and
out of practice. Sommer's honor was
short lived, for he was beaten in the
second round by Edmond w. Peaslee,
the old Yale player. at 6-1, Go.
The other big surprise of the day also
happened in the first round. 1t was the
defeat of c. Frederick Watson, jr., by
Julio NJ. Schumacher. Steinacher has
been playing on the board floors all

argument over the purchase price

excess of $4,000 for the pair.
From a Detroit angle, the closing OF
negotiations is matter of congratu-
lation. Pfpp is great young ball

most as anybody, and is a regular hit
ter, though handicapped somewhat
when facing left-handers. Should

good utility man. Donovan was not SO
anxious to secure the outfielder as he
was to get the first baser.
The deal never progressed beyond
an agreement on price for the men.
New York itself helped to spill things
by falling to go out and cinch the
youngsters before allowing the deal to
get lot Of publicity, and the players
to receive lot of advice.
Pipp will go south with the Tigers
to make another try for first base. It
is possible that Burns, who played sec

he can make the place. The batting
strength of the club would be greatly

Perhaps it is the shift of the Indian
apolis team that Gilmore had in mind
when he made the boast the other day
that his league would explode a bomb
which would cause Ban Johnson to re-
turn to Chicago before he got half way
to the coast.
The Federal League has not given
the slightest heed to the fact that its
suit against organized base ball is still
pending. Organized base ball has re-
fused to take any important action un-
til Judge Landis renders decision.
The case has been under advisement
for the past three weeks. and no more
is known now as to when a decision
will be rendered than there has ever
been heretofore.
That Cincinnati team is going to have
a wonderful catching staff the coming
season. HerZog not only has Charley
Doom. but he has closed a deal with
St. Louis whereby he retains Wingo.
one of the best young catchers in the
game. His third catcher will be Con
zales, Cuban, who performed wonder
fully last season. 1t is questionable II
there is another team in the old league
which can boast of a better backstop-
ping department
Doom, while no longer a youngster, is
still great catcher, and ne Will prop,

of the management than he has been.
Wingo is not only a capable backstop.
but he can hit, and that also is true of
the Cuban.

Johnston had been released to the

and Stanley. Economy is the reason
given for this cut, which. according

Chief Bender is loud in his praise
of the Federals. At amy rate, he Is
quoted as boosting the new league
every time he gets anywhere near
Baltimore. If the Chief will take care
/ OF himself the coming season he is
sure to show to good advantage in
that company. for he still has il on
a lot of the castoffs who made good

of the Chicago Feds. and this includes
the name of Walter Johnson. Weegh-
