HANS LOBERT Signed
To PLAY With GIANTS
Third Sacker of Phillies Will Wear
New York Uniform This
Season.

New York. Jan. John McGraw has
finally succeeded in his efforts to get
Hans Lobert for the Giants. TIE deal
was closed in Philadelphia today and
the veteran third sacker of the Phillies
will be seen in a Giant uniform next
season. Three players and a large sum
of money were given by McGraw. The
players are Pitcher Al Demaree. Third
Baseman Stock. and Young dams. one
of the recruits catchers. These were
chosen by the Phillies from a list of
eighteen men which ASGraw submitted.
The transfer of Lobert to the Giants
really is part OF a three-cornered deal.
for on the same trade the Cincinnati
Reds will obtain Charlie Doom. though
just what they will pay for him is not
announced. 1t is believed that Gov.
John X. Tener, president of the Ma
tional League. really put the deal
through. 1t is believed that Tener in
sisted on some disposition being made
of Doom which would keep him out of
the clutches of the Federals, who were
bidding hotly for his services.

Walter Pipp Highly Touted
by New York's Latest Man
ager, Bill Donovan.
OTHER SPORT COMMENT
By WILLIAM PEET,

"DOn't make any mistake about
this fellow PipP. He Is n great
ball player and i rather expect
that he will be n regular with the
Yankees. 1 have had plenty of Op-
pOrtunity to study his work in the
international League and
thought several times last season
thHt he was serving his last year
in the minor leagues. He Is a good
first baseman and, best of all, n
heavy batter. II wns in batting
that the team was particularly
weak last seasOn and a sIugger of
Pipp's ability will be more than
welcome"
The foregoing statement is from Wild
Bill Donovan. the new manager of the
Yankees, in discussing with a New
York sport writer the prospects for
the coming season.
Walter Pipp, of whom Bill Donovan
talks, is well known in Washington. He
held down first base for the Catholic
University nine during the season of
1912 and 1913. and was rated as one of
the best college players in the East.
Professional offers came pouring 4n,
but Pipp decided to finish his college
course. TIE graduated from the Brook
land institution. and during the 1913
season was signed by the Detroit
Tigers.
Lack OF experience caused Manager
Jennings to send Pipp to the Provi-
dence club of the International League,
but Donovan. then in charge, could not
use him as Kocher was going at a fast
clip, the result being that Pipp was
sent to the New York State League, but
the Detroit club kept a string on him
and last year found Pipp with the
Rochester club, of the International
League.
Pipp has many friends in Washington
who well remember him. He was
Catholic University's cleanup hitter.
and what is more rare, a fine student
The writer recalls watching a ball game
in Charlottesville, Va, during the season
of 1913 between Virginia and Catholic Uni
versity. Pipp, who is a left-hand hitter,
was called upon to face Ule Grant,
clever southpaw twirler. and that day,
if memory serves, Pipp raked Grants
offerings for a pair Of triples and a single
out Of four times up. aiding materially
in winning the ball game for his team.
Griffith was urged by competent judges
to sign young Pipp when the boy was
here in college, but with Chick Gandil
slated as regular he could mot see his
way clear.
Pipp has a brilliant future ahead of
him. He is almost sure to be found on
first base with the New Workers next
summer, and should make life miserable
for a number of our leading pitchers.
For several days nothing has been
heard of the 5000 which President
Charles Weeghman of the Chifeds and
Walter Johnson have been taking turns
at turning back. Maybe the postal au-
thorities have put a stop order on the
registered letter that carried the money.
Ray Caldwell, Ivy Wingo, Poll Perritt
and Rube MarqGard, who are spending
the winter in the Federal Leagues stock
ade, are expected to jump back to their
former employers when the season opens.

MEMORIAL WRESTLERS
TRAINING FOR BOUTS
Georgetown Clubmen Will Enter Dual
Tournament with Y. M. c. A.
Grapplers January l6.

Everything is in readiness for the dual
wrestling tournament between the Y. NJ.
c. A. and the Memorial Athletic Club
that will be held in the Y. NJ. C. A. gym
nasium on the evening of January 16.
This event will bring out the best am
ateur talent in this line of sport in the
city, as>the best wrestlers in the Dis
trict are numbered among the members
of these two organizations.
Coach Paxton, who has charge OF the
''Y'' squad, is putting in all of his spare
time teaching his proteges the tricks Of
the mat game, which is and will be dis
appointed with anything else than to
carry away team honors. The Memorial
Athletic Club, who, for a number Of
years, have recognized wrestling as one
of their leading sports, have their usual
quota of grapplers hard at work under
the eye of Coach Foley. This organiZa-
ton has held the local championship in
the wrestling game for number Of
years and the veterans OF the club can
usually be relied upon to give good
account OF themselves.
The members of the ''Y'' are pinning
their hopes on Marsans and Becker, in
the lis and 120-pound classes; Gregg and
Wheile, in the rs and 1S5-pound, while
in the 145 and 155-pound classes the re-
doubtable. Paxton himself will perform.
with Buckner in the heavyweight. None
of the Memorial team have been picked
as yet with the exception OF their
heavyweight representative Coulon,
who win look after this class for them,

though he comes practically unknown
to the followers of this sport in these
parts he has quite a reputation as bone
twister on the Pacific Coast. and should

Supt. Martin Sends Out Cir.
cular Letters to Presidents
of Local Leagues.
COMMISSION GETS BOOST

For some reason amateur baseball in
the National Capital is not what it has
been in former years. 1t is universally
known and been felt during the last two
years by the local fans that the various
mines throughout different sections of the
city are not affording the brand of base
ball that the District proudly boasted 4
in years past.
To some extent it is undoubtedly due to
the lack of desirable playing fields, and
as a matter of course the interest has
died down to some appreciable degree.
The bail players contend that II is i'm
possible to offer a classy article of bas"-
ball on some of our sun-drenched dia-
mOnds. but this is only regarded as an
old ''alibi"
In an effort to enIiven the interest and
to elevate amateur baseball to its former
standard, the department of recreation OF
the District is investigating for the sec
Ond time the general plans and details Of
our local pastiming.
f. H. Martin. superintendent of this
department. is directly responsible for
the mailing of circulars to the presi-
dent of the various leagues, the man.
ayers OF the different teams. and to
every one interested IN amateur base
ball in the District. These circulars re-
quest the information as to the success
of the leagues and clubs during for
mer years. 1t is the sole object of the
department to lend a helping hand and
do all in its power to encourage base
ball in the city.
The department OF recreation appre-
ciate the noble work of the amateur
commission and is confident that the
fault does not lie within this body. but
it expects to rejuyenate amateur base
ball by improving playing grounds and
furnish baseballs and umpires.
This department should need no in
PRODUCTION to the followers of amateur
sport in the District. II has done a
noble work in the high schools by pro-
viding a playing field and one that is
always in better condition than any
other lot in town. 1t can do the same
for amateur baseball.
The writer was fortunate enough to
see the playing field in Cleveland,
which city has the reputation of having
the best amateur diamonds in the
United States. 1t is true that they are
probably the best in the country simply
because the State authorities are back
Of the amateurs. But the local depart
ment wants to go a step further than
that of the Cleveland authorities and
furnish balls and umpires which are
practically the only expenses of the
league. 1t can be seen that If such is
put through baseball in the District will
be given a big boost and should drift
back to it's former ranking.
A meeting of the various committees
will be held in the near future and all
points taken into consideration. 1t is
obvious, however, that the amateur or
magnates will respond to the generosity
of the recreation board and express
their appreciation of it's cooperation.
So the way things stand at present it
looks as If baseball will be given a
boost in 1915.

The score was tied when Culligan made

The guarding of Tom FOlliard and
Gardiner for Gonzaga and ]. Wise for
Business kept the score down, while
Calligan was brilliant in Offense and de-
fense.
The floor work of r. Folliard and the
shooting of OLone were of the best va

passing, and would have carried of the
honors had its shooting been up to
