Baby Cannot Be Held
As Lien for Board Bill

A baby cannot be held as a lien for
a board bill, according to a ruling
made by Magistrate Breen in the
Washington Heights court. The ques-
tion thus decided arose in the case
OF Mrs. Ebba Snyder, % years old,
wife of a Cornell university student,
against Mrs. Anna Weiss, whom she
accused keeping possession Of her 2
year-old son, Harry Snyder, jr., as
security for a claim of $l4S.47, owed
for the care Of the child since Jam
uary rs.
Mrs. Weiss has had charge of the
baby since the plaintiff left the city
to see her husband in Ithaca in Jan
uary, with the understanding that a
weekly sum was to be paid for the
child's board. Mrs. Snyder alleges
that when she called for Harry, jr.
the other day the defendant refused
to part with him unless the outstand-
ing board bill was paid; so she OBJ
tanned court summons for Mrs
Weiss.
Magistrate Breen ordered the re.
turn Of the child, and Mrs. Snyder
who said she had an income from
her husband of $50 a month, prom.
ised to pay the claim at $40 week
1t is understood that her father
Fritz Nelson, who also boards with
Mrs. Weiss, will assist her if neces.

OF those who have claimed particular
attention recently are c. c. (Pat)
Smith, captain-elect OF the Univers-
ity Of Michigan foot ball eleven, who
came here with the Michigan naval
militia. Another Michigan foot ball
hero in training here is Raymond,
halfback for two years. There are
numbers OF men who have engaged
in professional wrestling matches
among them being Ben Reuben, a
Chicagoan, who claims the middle
weight championship. Reuben, enlist

One of his leading pupils is Wicker,
formerly Of the University of Indiana.
Almost the only sport for which
there is no place at the station is golf
and R. B. Lackman, OF Kansas City,
who came with the Missouri naval
militia and was one OF the best golfers
OF his state, said he hopes they find a
place for at least a putting block.
Wish for Golf Course.
Although the men engage in almost
all of the other branches of athletics
base ball and boxing are easily the
favorites. Almost any OF the daylight
hours will see those men not on duty
engaged in batting practice, playing
catch or with regular game in pro-
gress, while off to one side may be
several men sparring. And the effects
are seen in the general improvement
in the health Of the men. Roy Norton
who enlisted in Kansas City and
claims Duluth as his home, expressed
this when he said: "I've gained ten
pounds since ! came here and my
muscles are as strong as the kicl

RUPERT ORGANIZES
DEAL FOR JOHNSON
Aid Of American League Head
Sought in Bringing Three
Other Senators Here.

CHICAGO. Aug. Clone Of the biggest
deals in the history OF baseball may be
ciinched here In the near future IL Col,
huppert, president OF the Yankees, can
swing 1t with the aid Of President Ban
Johnson of the American League.
The deal calls for the transfer OF the
cream of the Washington team, Pitcher
Walter johnson, Outfielder Clyde Milan.
Catcher Eddie Ainsmith and left handed
Pitcher Harry Harper, to the Yankees.
Col. Rupert stands ready to pay $780,
600 for this quartet. Of which by far the
greatest proportion would 20 for Walter
johnson.
Rupert has been in several confer
ences with johnson lately. and he re-
peatedly said he thought the league
should give him some help In building
up the team. 1t is known that johnson
Il kecnly disappointed over the showing
OF the Yankees this year. especially at a
time when they appeared to have a hold
on the New York baseball public as they
never had before during the era that
Frank Farrell owned the club.
II IL known that efforts have been
made for some time to switch the WASH
ington club to some other city. The
franchise would have gone to Toronto
long ago were II not for the war. and
now 1t appears likely that 1t will be
moved to Baltimore. Before being
switched to Baltimore Clark GrifYlth may
he given a chance to realize on some Of
his stars.
Griffith. manager OF the club and a
heavy stockholder. has lost heavily on
the club during the last two years. The
Washington club began to have financial
troubles shortly after the European war
started. About the same time the
Washington team. which was a strong
pennant contender In 1919, 1919 and 1914.
began TO 20 back into the old rut, and
the fans stopped patronizing II.
Rupert makes no secret of the fact
that he is out to reconstruct the Yankees
and intends to shake the club up from top
to bottom. He intends to remodel the
catching and pitching staffs and the out
field. He also believes that paying big
money for johnson and Milan will be a
great Investment. especially after the
way Iris Speakers purchase has
changed the Cleveland Indians from an
annual loser to one Of the best money
makers in baseball.
