ST. LOUIS. Mo-. April branch
Hickey is president of tie Cardinals.
The court has decided that the St Louis
Browns must give up all claim to him

A double victory was won in Judge
William T Jones' court when, after the
consent of the Cardinal attorneys and
based on a subsequent agreement. the
court allowed the permanent injunction
without hearing evidence.
The agreement specifies that the
Browns relieve Hickey of the intunc-

not contract or endeavor to contract
with, until after July l, Legore Of Yale,

HOLDOUTS LIKELY
TO WIN AFTER ALL
Detroit and Brooklyn in Sore
Need of Third Basemen
Witt and Mowrey.

At least two major league clubs
are wildly seeking capable third
basemen before the curtain rolls up
and sets them on their way. Detroit
wants Oscar Witt back again, and
Brooklyn is burning up the wires to
land the veteran Mike Mowrey.
Unless Witt changes his mind about
reporting, the Tigers will enter the
1917 campaign greatly handicapped.
Three would-be substitutes have
been tried out by Hughey Jennings.
Bobby Jones has made the best show
ing of the trio, but he is still several
chips shy of being the real thing.
Ivan Olson. once with the Cleve-
land Indians, has fallen down at
third base for the Dodgers. though
trying his best. Olson is a peppery
player, but that lets him out. He
simply cannot play the hot corner,
according to the critics who have
been watching him this spring.
Both Witt and Mowrey have de-
clined to report at the salaries offer
ed. Witt is at his home in California,
but Mowrey Is lost. 1t is possible
that both will be signed up at their
own figures by next Wednesday.

MARION Sees HISTORY
In THE MAKING
Famous Actor An Interested
Spectator When Congress
Declares War.

One Of the most interested specta-
tors in the Congressional galleries
when the state OF war was declared
upon Germany was Dave Marion, fam
ed from coast to coast as the creator
Of the character OF ''Snuffy, the Cab
man." Mr.. Marion, who is playing
at the Gayety Theater, this week, ac-
companied by Manager Harry o. Jar
Doe, OF the local house, remained un--
til the wee hours in the morning In
order to learn the decision OF Con-
gress on this grave and momentous
measure Many OF Mr.. Marion's
friends who were seated near him in,
the gallery, attributed his close att
tention to the proceedings to the fact
that he could conceive a wonderful
idea for a stage production therefrom.
Just a few hours later, at the mat
inee on the day following. Mr.. Marion
introduced an original patriotic song
on the war conditions. which made
an instantaneous hit, taking the house
by storm.
While at the Senate on Wednesday
night, Mr.. Marion had the pleasure
Of meeting and shaking hands with
his old d-time friend, Hon. Joseph =.
Tumulty, secretary to President VIII
son.
Mr.. Marion Is a native of Toms
River, N. j., and takes a deep inter
est in political affairs and expects
some day, IL is understood, to become
active in this field. He is a true
American, through and through and

,ENTH STREET LEAGUE.
SERIES BRINGS MONEY
Red sox and Dodgers Attract SIS,
GOO From Bush Fans.

NEW YORK, April 7.-Playing in
bush league towns proved highly
lucrative to the two major league
champions. President Ebbets OF the
Brooklyn club yesterday said that the
Red SoX and the Superbas took in
about $4,000 on their joint tour.
Each clubs share was between
$1,000 and $4,000. As far as money
went we made no profit. There were
thlrty-six or thirty-eight men in the
Brooklyn party, and all OF the money
we took in at the gate went for rail-
road and hotel expenses.
Rain caused the postponement of
the game in Kansas City, where we
expected to draw the biggest attend
ance on the trip, and Jupiter Pluvius
again dished us out OF a big gate
in Indianapolis.
II those games had been played
both clubs would have realized a tidy
sum above expenses.

HERE'S
WITHOUT NICKNAME
Lawry, of Athletics, Can Be
Called annie Lawry" When
.HeIIs Famous.

It has always been q source Of
worry and annoyance to the dopesters
on how a young gentleman with the
name of Lawry could go through q
baseball season with the big league
without q suitable nickname.
Otis Lawry played second base with
the Athletics last year and is holding
the same job now. He has been In
the public eye long enoung to be
spoken OF Familiarity. yet no one has
taken the trouble to tag him An
appropriate monicker which seems to
have been muffed is "Annie Lawry,"
and this may come in handy when he
becomes famous.
Otis II Some Eater.
However, the youngster is making
q strong bid for fame and is slangily
referred to as Oats by a few of his
close friends. The bid for fame Is not
being made on the ball field, but in
the Dining room, where he Is batting

He has desire to become robust and
weigh more than 13S pounds. He IA
determined to put on more weight
this season and assume the graceful
lines of Ping Bodie. The only thing
that can stop him Is a kink in his
eating arm and the high cost OF IIy-

COACH A Big ASSET
FOR ARMY TRAINING
Suggestion Is Made That Ath-
Ietic Mentors Be Commission
ed to Condition Men.

Though, in the present crisis. the
athletic coach appears to be a person
of very little use, he's likely to turn
out to be q mighty handy man to
have around before the piping times
of peace come to the world again
England, in her task of hardening
her army of possibly 100000 men,
has found men equipped to improve
the physical condition OF the British
soldiers among the most valuable OF
those who have sought to aid their
country by doing auxiliary work off
the actual fighting line.
In England the fellows who train
the thousands of soldier competitors
for their sports are rated as non
CONS" but while their rank is a mi
nor one, these, men have everything
to say regarding the actions OF the
men while on the sport field, and are
generally looked upon with as much
respect as are commissioned officers.
In the event OF a cessation OF inter
collegiate sports following the ex-
pected war declaration. dozens OF ath-
letic coaches will not be exactly out
of jobs, but they will have little to do
in their line.
The suggestion has been made, and
wisely, that the Government commits
sion these men and station them at
the various training camps to super
wise the athletic work that will be
carried on in connection with the
training of Uncle Sans new soldiers.
There Is every reason to believe
that this scheme would work out ad-
The soldiers would naturally
take more interest in their sports
II they were directed by men who
knew their business thoroughly, and
the coaches. too. would feel that in
working with the army they will be
doing their bit for the cause.

OFFER SERVICES
Tennis MoguIs Seek to Cooperate
With the Government.

NEW YORK. April 7.-Officials OF
the United States National Lawn Ten
mis- Association have offered the SER
vices OF the organization to the United
States Government
Following a conference, which was
held yesterday, George T. Adee, presi-
dent of the association, issued a state
ment in which he said that as soon as
Congress determines the method of
raising an army the association will
use all its influence with the lawn
tennis players OF the country to Sc
cure their cooperation
Furthermore. II will urge those not
Immediately eligible for military duty
to limit their expenditures, to keep In
good physical condition and devote all
possible attention to military affairs
in the effort TO further national de-
fense.
Whether or not the schedule OF
championships and tournaments for
the approaching season will be can
celed depends upon the recommends
tions received from the Federal Gov
ernment. The schedule OF more than
200 tournaments has been drawn and
is ready for publication. The instruc-
tiOns, which may be received from
Washington and the War Department,
will guide the lawn tennis officials as
to the future OF competitive events on
the American courts this season.
The association has appointed a
committee on military preparedness
and has sent all its members a letter
urging them TO work for universal
compulsory military service. In this
movement the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association is working
In conjunction with the United States

CHICAGO. Ill, April BAN B.

declaration of a few days ago. that
his league would proceed to play its
schedule, regardless OF war, strikes,
or other agencies. He says a definite
plan has been worked out. with a
view to possible strikes, and positive
assurances that war would be de-
clared, and that plan will be ad-

President Johnson is deeply inter-
ested in military training for the ath-

Strunk Is Ordered Home

ROCKY MOUNT, n. c., April l.
Amos Strunk, who has been playing
sensational baseball in streaks and
playing indifferently at times, accord
ing to Manager Mack. was ordered
home yesterday by the Athletics
leader. The action on the part of
Mack came as a result of an exhibit
tion of indifference by some of his
players.
Today when the troubled leader
was seen. he declared that he had not
been told that Strunk wa ILL., Mack
Furthermore stated that Strunk had
not spoken to him for the last ten
days. At the hotel before leaving
for the ball park, and in the presence
of Manager Ryan, of the local club,
Mack today gave the following state
ment:

while at Jacksonville.
I'VE will have no stars on our
team, and any player who is dissatIs-

will say that this man will not play

Illness Was Blamed.
When Strunk bid his associates a
farewell at Rocky Mount it was
thought he had been advised to go
home in order to consult a physician
in regard to illness. For the last two
weeks Strunk has complained to the
club trainer, stag that he was suf-
fering from stonra6 1 trouble.
While in Atlanta the star outfielder
was noticeably Indifferent toward
Manager Mack. but nothing was said
of the circumstance. On other occa-
