ASKS AID FOR McDERMOTT.
Philadelphia Golfer Wants Mates to
Helm Former Champion.

PHILADELPHIA. April 6.-Harrison
former secretary and treas
urer of the Golf Association Of Phlla-
deIphia, sent out letter yesterday
asking the Quaker City golfers to con-
tribute toward a fund for John j. Nc
Derrnott, now an inmate in the Penn
sylvania Hospital for the Insane. Nc
Derrnott, twice the national open golf
champion, has been in the insane asy-
luu since November 8. Philadelphia
golfers hope that proper treatment and
care may yet restore the youngster-
for he is only twenty seven-to health
and viaor.
The appeal for aid is made also in
the hope that other golfers in various
sections of the country may help Nc
Dermott, who is not only desperately
ill. but is without funds to pay for his
care at the asylum.

Fhillies Obtain Waivers From All
Major League Clubs.

PHILADELPHIA, April 6.-Waivers
have been received by the Philadelphia
National League club from all the clubs
in the National and American leagues
on the services of Otto knabe, former
second baseman of the PhilIies and
yesterday Knabe was given his uncon-
ditional release.
When the peace agreement was sign
ed by the Federal League and organ
lied base ball, Knabe. who managed
the Baltimore club, along with many
other players. was declared a free
agent, but it was necessary for these
players to be released by the clubs of
organized base ball claiming their serv-
ices. President Baker of the Phillies
said yesterday that he did not care to
stand in the way of Knabe obtaining a
position and therefore gave him his re-
lease. 1t is understood Knabe has sew
eral offers for the coming season.

SoX will encounter in fast company.
How it was that Harry +. Sinclair
obtained control of about thirty OF the
best players of the Federal League and
was permitted to sell them to the high
est bidders and pocket the proceeds is
answered by one who knows in this
way
Kauff and several stars and otf AIRS
from the Brooklyn club late last sum
mer. for the purpose of putting them in
the lineup of the team which the Feds
planned to put into New York and
which Sinclair was to back. When the
Feds were eliminated from the base
ball world Sinclair no longer had any
place to play those Brookfed stars and
he did the only natural thing, sold
them. Sinclair took the other players
from the Kansas City, Buffalo and other
clubs in payment for the money which
he had loaned to those clubs during the
season of 1915. Sinclair has kept silent
SIS to how he actually came into own
ership of those players. merely be-
cause he saw no reason to make known
that some of the clubs were in such
shape that he had to loan them money
out of his private account
When peace was made in base ball
100000 in the hole through advance
of cash to clubs in the league. Sinclair
was willing to wipe clean the slate and
charge the 100000 to a recreation ac-
count. but the Sinclair debtors insisted
that he take the pick of the players,
pointing out that in selling them he
could reimburse himself.

ELLIS RETAINS TITLE.
Three-Cushion Billiardist Defeats
/. Maupome. $50 to 143.

PITTSBURGH. Pa. April 6.-Charles
!, Ellis of this city retained the three

night by defeating Pierre Maupome of
St Louis by score of $50 to 40

trips to the plate, and two Of them
figured in the scoring. Milan also is
showing all his old speed on the bases,
and is fielding g only he can.
Walter Johnson will not work against
the Braves today. as was believed
Manager Griffith used him in seven
innings of an eight inning game for
the Yanigans yesterday morning and
the big fellow cut loose with all he
had in the way of speed and curves
He struck out five of the first six men
who faced him, and then famed four
He was hit safely but once and gave
every indication of being on edge.
He probably will get another work
out before he will be- asked to pitch
the opening game in New York next
Wednesday. There has been no official
announcement that Johnson will pitch
the opener. but this is most likely.
There still is much lacking in the
Nationals hitting. Barring Milan and
Foster. no one on the team is hitting
up to his standard. Rondeau seems to
have fallen off a good deal since the
team has been home, and Barber is
doing little or no hitting. seemingly
having lost his stride at the plate.
Rondeau always is slow beginner IN
the spring. 1t takes hot weather for
him to get his batting eye in trim, and
until such time he is not likely to do
much damage with the bat.
Maranville, who did not perform in
good style in the last campaign, seems
to be in good form this spring. The
little fellow is one of the niftiest short
stops in the game when he is going
we'll, and there is no doubt about him
this season. for he has himself in good
condition, and with Smith and Evers on
either side and Konetchy on first, STALL
ings has one of the best inf1elds in the
National League.
Joe Without, who is playing right field
for the Braves. did not look very i'm
pressive in yesterdays game, and yet
he is one of the most promising young
sters on Stallings' team. Without might
have been a member of the Nationals,
for winter before last Manager Grif-
fifth tried to buy him from one of the
Pacific Coast League clubs for $4,000.
During the winter months he was play
ing on the same club with Eddie Fos-
ter and Alva Williams, in south Cali
'fornia, and it was these players who
tipped Griffith off to Without, but the
team to which Without belonged want
ed $500 for him, and this figure was
a bit too high for Griffith.
Without has been hitting like a fiend
this spring. but failed to get a hit off
either Gallia or Harper yesterday.

Indians Fire Two Players.

CLEVELAND, April 6.-Secretary
Robert McRoy of the Cleveland Ameri-
can League club announced yesterday
that two players had been sent to the
minors from the Indian squad now in
training at New Orleans. They are
Fred Thomas. third baseman, sent to
New Orleans. and Al Collamore. pitch
err, sent to Portland, Greg. Thomas
came to Cleveland from New Orleans
at the close of last season, while Col
lamore was obtained in midseason last
year from the Cleveland American As
ISOLATION team.

Gilhooley, MaiSel and Magee are sure
to form a fast outfield, and while Peck
inpaugh is not reliable hitter, he is a
brilliant fielder, and Pipp, Gedeon and
Baker are sure to hold their own with
the bat. This combination needs but
to have pitchers of class to be in the
running in the coming campaign.
Billy Sullivan, who is coaching Jen-
nings' pitchers, is tipping the dopesters
to keep an eye on Catcher Ed Charity
of Washington, who is to make his de-
but this season.
Charity is sure to make good with
Washington" said Sullivan recently.
He not only is a very clever backstop
and thrower, but he can hit very hard
and he also is fast on his feet. Char
rity needs only a little major league
experience to make him one of the best
catchers in the league. / worked with
him at Minneapolis last season and l
picked him to make real star IN Que
time. From what I hear from Wash
ington he has more than made good
there this spring.
Hughey Jennings does not blame Jim
Callahan for his two failures with the
White SoX. In statement the De-
troit manager makes regarding the
managers of the National League he
picks Stallings as the most capable of
the whole lot and has this to say of
Callahan:
Gala han failed twice with the Chi
cago White Sox. He should not be
judged on that. He never had COM
plete control. Likewise. he handled
about as unintelligent a bunch as the
game ever produced. OF course. there
were smart players, but the average
was low. There was prejudice against
him. The worst criticism was that Cal
associated with theatrical people. and
ball players got their heads together
and said. He thinks he's too good for
u.s. Helpful spirit. isn't it" ] always
blamed Cal for not keeping more close
ly in touch with his pla yers-although
l didn't blame him.
Manager Rowland of the White Sox
is inducing managers of minor league
teams against whom he is sending his
team to work left-handed pitchers
against his team as much as possible.
Rowland wants to get line on now
his team will look against southpaWs.
for he intends TO make some changes
in the line-up to give ght-handerS a
chance when southpaws are pitching.
Biz John Collins will be one of those
to be substituted on Such occasions
Rut it is not likely that the SouthpaW
nitchers of the minor leagues VIII be
able to demonstrate whether the W hIte
Soy can hit good off side pitching, for
there will be few left-handed twlrlers
