Business, 80; Central, 81

The Stenographers under the leadership
of Capt. Glessner. had more than a hard
time in downing the Central five in the
first game p to y and but for some shots
at critical moments by Culligan and Nc
Donald, they would now be possessing
third position IN the standing.
At the end Of the first half the score
stood IS to H. in favor of the o Street
quint but in the final period thanks to
the wonderful shots by Mcdonald and
Culligan and the clever guarding of Mill
of and Glessner, the tide was turned
the Business way. Several times after
the lead was taken by the Stenographers,
the Central team would creep up only
to have either Mcdonald or Culligan
make shots which put the game beyond
reach.
Because of the fouling of the Business
team the chance of Central winning was
boosted little, but when points meant
the game the fouling ceased. No less
than fifteen fouls were called on Business
and as Marbury was at his best in shoot
ing the free tosses. II helped to keep the
gap between the teams from widening
and in fact it was these goals made from
the foul line which gave the o StTeeters
the lead in the first period. Lineup and

start in the opening game and gathered
a lead of twenty-eight pins, knocking
down SIS to 4S7 obtained by the West
Virginians.
The Martinsburg msrksmen evened up
matters in the second by landing a game
of 4gl while the locals were shooting the
old ducks for a 466 game, giving each
team a total of S91 pins. Through the
rolling of Houesworth and Dunn the
West Virginians pulled away from the

The signing of Germany schaefer by
the New York Yankees is not at all sur
prising, for the reason that Schaefer and
Bill Donovan. the Yanks' manager have
always been warm personal friends and
were "buddies" when both played in
Detroit
1t is probably due to a tip from
Schaefer that New York snatched
Gedeon from the Feds.
II you have time look over the names
Of 12 Federal League players Just
released outright because nobody would
offer a dollar for their services and then
try to figure why Reulbach, Miner Brown
and Eddie Plank were the best pitchers
in the circuit!
Joe Higgins scout Of the Detroit Tigers,
writes that he has just returned to his
Jersey home from a trip to Cuba and
Porto Rico. where he was looking over
the baseball field. Higgins planned an
invasion Of the islands with a semi-pro
ball team under the management Of
Arthur Irwin, but he has given up the
idea because there are too many inde-
as good, II not a trifie better, than those
Of this city and vicinity.

New York, Jan. 2I.-The New York
Yankees announced this afternoon that
they had purchased the following Fed
eraI League pIayersi Nick CuIIop, the
Ieft-hnnder, who wns the star of the
Federal League in 1915; Joe Gedeon,
the Pacific Coast phenom. who WINS un-
der contract TO play with the FedernIs
in 1916 "Germnny, scbnefer, former
inAeIder for the Detroit and washing
ton clubs. and with the Newark Fed
erals lnst year.
Cullop Is ~ years old. He won
twenty-five games in thirty-three
starts last year with the Kawfeds and
pitchers I'm the Enme. Before jumping
TO the Federais CuIIop was with the
Cleveland Americans.
Gedeon is r. years old. He IL a
second baseman. He got q chance with
the Washington club q few years ago,
but didn't size up as a major Lacquer
then.
Coincident with the announcement
of the signing of this trio, the Yankees
officials stated thst Pitchers Carol
Brown and James Ring had been re-
leased to the LouisvilIe club In the
American Association and that Inhe1d-
er Peter Daily hns been released to
the Vernon club In the Pacific Coast
League.
The Gedeon case in a nutshell is this:
Shortly after the season closed last
fall a report from the Pacific Coast
stated that Joe Gedeon had refused TO
sign with the Washington Baseball Club
and had accepted terms with the New
ark Federals. having forwarded his
signed contract to the Federals.
After verifying this report Manager
Griffith later got in touch with John
Henry, the Nationals catcher, who was
ball club. and commissioned Henry to
talk with Gedeon and to find out the
terms Gedeon would accept to rejoin the
Nationals.
1t appears that Henry and Gedeon got
together and Henry obtained the infor-
nation Griff wanted.
Right on top of all this came the capit-
ulation Of the Federal League, and in
discussing the Gedeon matter with
League head, Grin was advised not to
offer Gedeon a fat contract, but to lay
low for the time being.
Shortly after the Feds had quit. Grif-
fifth was informed by Sinclair that he
could take Gedeon back providing. of
course, he assumed the same contract
rendered Gedeon by the Newark club.
the figures were much too high.
Now the New York Yanks have taken
Gedeon and have apparently pledged
themselves to pay him the Federal
League salary. So Griff is very much
like a man up a tree.
There is no doubt but that the Wash
lngton club has certain claims TO
Gedeons services, and the chances are
that the whole matter will be put up
-
cision.
It's a pretty baseball tangle-a knotty
problem for the supreme court of base
ball to solve.
Grin had Gedeon with him in Wash
ington two years ago, and the young
ster. while not quite ripe for fast COM
pany, proved Just the scrappy, aggres-
sive type OF player the "Old Fox" likes.
and there was every disposition to hold
tight to Gedeon while Joe was gaining
experience in the minors.
