a long distance telephone con-
versation in which Manager
Griffith and Capt. Huston in
dulged yesterday evening may
prove to be the entering wedge
in negotiations which will clear
up the Gedeon case. Capt. Hus-
ton admitted that neither he nor
Manager Donovan were familiar
with the Washington clubs end
OF the case and that If there had
been a mistake made he would do
all in his power to make amends.
Capt. Huston said he would get
into communication with Presi-
dent Rupert and the others in
volved i'll the Gedeon case as soon
as possible and that he would let
Manager Griffith know just what
the New York club would do
about the player
The case grew more complicated
when dispatch from Philadelphia
brought word that the Phillies had put
In claim for Gedeon after New York
had bought him and that that club
would take the matter up with the ma

played the keystone sack for salt Lake
during 1915 and was signed by the
Federal League just before the cIose of
the 1915 pennant scrap. He was then
turned over to Harry +. Sinclair. dis
tributing agent of the defunct Feds
and Friday last was sold to the New
York Yanks.
In discussing the matter tonight Mr
Ha ker said:
Donovan has taken from the line OF
the Phillies fish that does not be-
long to him We had a prior claim
to Mr. Gedeon before he ever cast his
lot with the Federals. He had practi-
cally accepted our terms, but despite
this he cast his lot with the Federals
last season when the so-caIled ipde-
pendentS made raid on the coast
league. Gedeon swallowed hook, line
and sinker when the Feds cast their
line for him and in view Of the fact
that the Feds have been absorbed he
is our property. ! am surprised that
Sinclair should sell him to the YAM
KEGS. As matter OF fact | think the
PhillieS have such good claim TO
Gedeon that we have appealed to the

For the Brooklanders Cartwright,
Gallivan and keegan played the best
games. The latter was put off the
floor for having made four personal
fouls. but aside from this starred
Virginia had no individual star. but
Mac" Luck. the diminutive right
guard, was the best on its side. He
seemed to have his heart in the game
and did all the foiling for Catholic that
was done. Stickley was not up to form
and made only one goal the entire
game: Strickling was not whit better
and the others not as good. Catholics
passing was the sfeature of the game,

DONOVAN HAS A BIG SQUAD

Special Dispatch t" The Star.
NEW YORK. January 2c.-Wild Bill
Donovan and his highly recruited Yam
KEGS probably will be the first major
league club to get into training this
spring He Will go to Macon. Ga with
First Lieuts. Joe Kelley. Duke Farrell
and Herman Schaefer and the battery
material in mid-February. Donovan and
mis- pitchers and catchers are to report
at Macon in time 10 start training Feb
ruary IS.
Most of the sixteen major league
clubs have decided upon much later
start than usual this year There is
a rule which prevents National League
clubs from going into spring camp be-
fore March l. The American League
is not bound by such an agreement,
but most of the teams of Johnsoh's
circuit already have decided to cut
their customary training schedules be-
tween two and three weeks The
White Sox. Tigers and Washington will
not report much before the middle of
March
Manager Donovan is not strong
advocate of the long training trip. but
just at present he is the victim of pc
cul:ar circumstances. Wild Bin mas
approximately five dozen players in re-
serve. \ number OF these may be dis-
posed of within the month. but never
theless. he will have forty or more
men upon whom TO pass Judgment this
spring.
Anxious to Get Early Start.
col. Rupert and Capt Huston are
very anxious that the very strongest
from the wealth of material and for
that very reason have determined 10
shoulder the heavier training expense
III order that their manager shall not
be called upon to make snap Judg-
ments
Il guess I will have my hands full
for two good weeks before the main
squad arrives at Macon" said Donovan
today. I'VE have some score of pitch
ers, several with whose styles and man
nerisms | am not familiar ! am satis-
ned that ! shall be as strong as any
rival in the matter of right ha nded
pitching. | am particularly anxious to
hnd just wnerc 1 stand in the south
paw brand.
The fact that we did not have one
left-handed pitcher with the Yankees
until the close of last season no doubt
affected the work of the veteran right
handlers. Port-side pitching is abso-
lutciy necessary in the American
League because tfere are SO very many
ieft-handed hitters and SO many char
acteristic left-handed line-ups. Mo-
gridge looked mighty fine to me in his
games last fail. IL CuIIop is as good
as l believe ! think ! may safely bank
on one good brace of southpawS In
addition. we have two or three young
fellows who have been most highly
recommended"
Donovan has indorsed the early start
with a double purpose. The extra time
for study should enable him to sift the
battery wheat from the cban by the time
his regulars put in an appearance Also
il should have the pitchers in such fine
shape by that time that the infield and
outfield candidates might be tested with
pitching and catching OF real merit.

BIG BAN OPTIMISTIC
Predicts Prosperity This Year
for American League.
LOOKS FOR A GREAT RACE
Says National Circuit Also Is

Barney Dreyfuss.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star
CHICAGO. January 20. President
Johnson today gave out a prosperity
announcement for the American
League. Big Ban sees great year
ditions in base ball
In 1915 we had the strongest league
in base ball." said President Johnson
Our circuit viii be still stronger this
year, so we should have a prosperous
season and great race
Fielder Jones will bring another PEN
nant contender into the American League
In all probability. which will mean great :
or interest and larger attendance. The
settlement of the war was bound to
come this winter in one form or an
other, and now that vt is all over the
major leagues emerge stronger than
ever. The National too. will be bene-
fitted by the change, and more inter
est in the post-season series is bound
to result.
There was little difficulty in adjust
ing the schedules to the satisfa ction of
all concerned. We had little trouble
with western holiday dates, but it did
not take long to iron out the wrinkles"
Pays Tribute to Dreyfuss.
President Johnson paid the following
tribute to Barney Dreyfuss, owner of
the Pittsburgh Pirates:
Few persons may know it, but the
fact remains that Dreyfuss is one of
the best posted men on schedule MAX
ing in base ball. He is an expert at
the business and also is a good base
ball man.
There is no magnate in base ball
better posted on the merits and demer-
it's of ball players In the majors, the
minors and the bushes than the Pitts
burgh magnate, and there isn't an own
er who will dig much deeper than this
same man to buy a ball player, IL he is
convinced he has the qualifications TO
shine in the big leagues. When Jimmy
Callahan has served several months as
manager of the Pirates he will learn
that he is working for a man highly
posted OH hundreds OF ball players
about whom the average fan has only
superficial knowledge"

keep in front by a few points.
The first half ended with the score

visitors had outplayed the home team
by just about that margin. In the sec
ond half Gallaudet began to pick up
some, and soon was only one point be-
hind. Scheurich Gagged a difficult goal,
though, and after that Gallaudet was
never so close that one goal would
have tied the count.
