new YORK LIKES LObERI
Call Him Best Third Baseman Playing
Ball-Demaree, Stock and
Adams Traded

New York. Jan. 5.-Manager John
McGraw. of the New York Nationals,
has obtained the services of Hans Lo-
bert, third baseman of the Philadelphia
Nationals, through deal which was
closed yesterday The deal Yves virtual
ly completed here Sunday at a confer
ence between McGraw and President
Baker, of the Philadelphia club. 1t
was stated last night that Lobert had
accepted terms made by NcGraw. Ii
was understood that the third basemal
would sign a three-year contract.
Lobert has been called one of the
best third basemen in the game. Phila-
delphia secured him in 1910 from Gin
cinnati. McGraw last nnght expressed
the opinion that Lobert would put his
team back in the running for the pen
nant.
Ever since last fan Lobert has been
on the fence between organized base
ball and the Federal League. He re-
Gently visited the Federal League of
ittials in ST. Louis and later called on
President Gilmore, in Chicago. How
ever Lobert said that if he we're trad
ed to New York and received the same
salary offered by the Federals, he would
remain in organized baseball. Mike
Dooian, shortstop of the Baltimore
Federals, who played beside Lobert for
years on the Philadelphia infeld, and
Lee Magee, manager OF the Brooklyn
Federals, visited Lo0ert here Yesterday
and tried to persuade him to accept the
Federal League offer.
Demaree came to New York from
Mobile late in 1912. In 1918 he did
sensational work, but he had a poor
season last year. Stock first came to the
Glants from Fon-du-Lac, Wis. in 1912,
but ne was farmed out in both 1912
and 1918. Last season he was called
upon to play third base after Shafer
retired from baseball.
Jack Adams never played with the
Glants, but was purchased last fall from
the New Orleans team of the Southern
League. He formerly played with the
Cleveland Americans These three plav.

BAN STILL IN CONTROL
Change in Ownership of New York Club

League chief. 1t is well known in
baseball circles that when the former
New York owners had their run-in with
Frank Chance last fall, which resulted
i'll the latter severing his connection
with the Yankees, Ban johnson made
up his mind then and there to make a
change in the ownership of the New
York club.
1t was no easy matter to find men
with money sufficient to make the deal
and satisfy the owners of the club.
Yet President Ban succeeded in accom-
plishing this when he interested Rup-
pert and Huston.
The change of ownership was ten
strike for the American League. Not
only was the change heralded as win
ming move by the other magnates, but
the fans the circuit over recognize the
advantage it gives the league.
Rupert and Huston are men of
wealth. Rupert is reported to be
S30,000,000. 1t is believed that in
due time he will build new ball park
which will be nearer to the center of
New York City than are the Polo
Grounds. Such an investment would
give the American League great ad-
vantage over its rival in New York.

BASEBALL LIMIT RULE
Clubs Not Likely to Live UP to New
Regulation

The opinion is rapidly gaining ground
in baseball circles that the 21-player
rule in major leagues will never be Sc
riously enforced. This regulation would
require an enrolment somewhat along
the following lines: Pitchers, eight;
catehers, four; inielders, FIVE; outfeld-
erS, four. At the beginning of the
1913 season the American League club
rosters contained the following number
of players: Athletics, %; Washington,
%; Cleveland, %; Boston, 25; Chicago
81: Detroit. 80; New York, %; St.
Louis. %. The National League list
was about the same.
A number of the clubs require
strengthening before the opening of
next season if they are to be drawing
cards and money-makers. Almost with
out exception these clubs has large
percentage of their present squad under
contracts which cannot be ignored
How they are to be relieved of those
players not wanted and where desirable
and seasoned new material is to be Sc
cured and carried under the 21-player
rule, is something that is keeping man
ayers awake these nights.

Wild BILL DONOVAN TO DO

New Manager Expects to Call Upon
Himself for Relief Work When New
Yorks Get Going-Win Always Be
on Coaching Line

New York, Jan. 5.-Wild Bill Don
ovan, new leader of the Yankee forces,
does not intend TO contine his energies
TO managing the team from the bench
Such was the declaration of the Smil-
ing one, who is here discussing club aft
fairs with the new owners as the Off
cial beginning of his ma ior league man
agerial career. When the season starts
Donovan will be in uniform daily and
he expects TO spend most of his time
on the coaching lines like Hughev Jen-
nings. But he also plans to get into
the game now and then, generally for
rescue work.
II got into the game few times at
Providence last season." said "Wild
Bill" yesterday, ''and l am satisfied
that l am still able TO do some real
pitching in the majors. / realize, of
course, that could do no such work as
l did few years ago, but | guess 4
few innings now and then would not
be too much for me. / have quite d
little of that old speed left. and it
Is only natural that l could handle a
difficult situation better than some of
the youngsters. Cy Young was several
wears older than l am before he had
to admit that his days were over, and
YOU know l always took pretty good
care of that old pitching arm. l will
work out slowly this spring and when
the real hot weather arrives | will be
ready to work whenever the occasion
demands it. -
Donovan has not vet signed his CON
tract to lead the Yanks, but he has
agreed upon terms and the document
will be signed to-day.
The question of training camp
came up for discussion yesterday and it
would not be surprising if the team will
be taken TO Savannah. Ga, for condi-
tioning purposes. Donovan favors this
place. He took his Providence team
there last spring.
Don't make any mistake about this
fellow Pipp," said "Wild Bill in dis
cussing the players whom he will have
under his charge next season. g He is
great ball player and I rather expec5
that he will be a regular with the
Yankees. / thought several times last
