st. Louis Cardinals
Lose Player DEBATE
on Shady Transaction

Cincinnati, June Clyde De Fate,
of the st. Louis National league cub,
was yesterday ordered to report to
the Detroit Americans by the National
Baseball Commission. st. Louis Ma
tionals obtained first draft on De Fate
at the draft meeting last September
and exercised it. Detroit had second
choice.
Frank J. Navin, president of the De-
troit club. appealed to the National
recently, stating that the
St Louis Nationals had drafted De
Fate with the understanding that he
would be turned over to the st. Louis
Americans. This was denied by
SCHUYLER #. Britton, formerly of the
st. Louis Nationals. but according to
the commission an agreement filed
during the injunction proceedings by
the St. Louis Americans against
Branch Hickey and the st. Louis Ma
tionals showed that Hickey was to do
his best to turn over De Fate to, the
st. Louis Americans at the earliest
possible moment.
Including it's decision yesterday the
National Commission said: Club
owners and ofiaeiais are notified that
the commission will exert itself to
safeguard the draft from scheming
and colldsion and Win, where tits es-

CORNELL FIGURES
. ON RESUMING ALL
SPORTS in AUTUMN

Ithaca, June 2-Cornell University.
II pressn. plans Of the athletic ssso-
citation materianze. will resume :lc-
tivity in all varsity sports next year.
Schedules are being completed and
rearranged by managers Of varsity
teams. and everything will be ready
in the fall for the resumption OF ath-
let1cs. particusarly in football, cross
country and soccer.
AS many contests as possible will
be arranged with the teams which ere
ordinarily met by Cornell, but it is
believed that many of the schedules
will be greatly modified. Nothing
final will be done. however, until af-
ter the general conference on college
athletics is held in Washington in
August.
To facilitate the obtaining of suf-
ficient material from which well bal
anced teams can be chosen, it is prob
able that members of the entering
class of 1921 will be permitted to take
part in varsity sport provided other
colleges and universities determine to
take similar step.
Many members Of the varsity foot
ball squad are at present in the re-
serve officers training camps Al

Fort Niagara. In all Cornell has
sent 1912 of Its undergraduates male

Peter Maher, Former
Prominent Fighter, Is
Jailed for Drunkenness

Peter Maher, the famous old Irish
heavyweight boxer of years gone by,
was Thursday sentenced to serve one
month in the workhouse for intoxca-
ton. The old fighter, who made
reputation in his day that still is fresh
in the memories of those who attend
present-day boxing exhibitions, has
been unfortunate in his latter years,
and now, at the age of AT. he is but
a shell of the former physical giant,
whose heavy hitting ability made him
feared among the heavyweights of his
time.
He came up before Magistrate
rockingham in the Harlem court and
pleaded guilty to the charge of intoxi-
cation which was preferred against
him by Patrolman Blake of the East
104th street station, New York.

CHAMPION HERMAN
BEATS JOE LYNCH

New York, June Pete Herman,
bantam weight champion, dernonstrat-
ed In a 10-round bout with Joe Lynch
at tho Pioneer Sporting club last night
that he ID a capable title holder. In
all save one round the champion out
pointed his opponent. Herman has
clever left hook with which he foored
the New York lad in the second
round He also handled himself well
at close range work.
Herman-s right and left jolts to the
body, delivered in peppery style, caus-
ed Lynch to clinch frequently. The
latter, who is a bit taller and has a
much longer reach than Herman, fail
ed to score in his usual style with
left hand jabs. The champion invari-
ably side-steppef them or turned his
head away in time TO evade them.
Lynchss showing was somewhat dis
appointing. He showed brilliant
fiasheslo OF good form and effectiveness
but only for a moment or two in each
round. 1t was his inability to main
tain the pace that led to his defeat.

BAL TiMORE SEEKS 81: {
To HAVE TEAM IN
AMERICAN LEAGUE

New York, June 2-Another big eff
fort is being made by Baltimore bust
ness men, legislators and prominent
fans of the OrfoIe City toTobtain "a ma
jor league franchise for the Maryland
metropolis. This time the effort has
an excellent chance, to reach fruition,
as it is said to have not only the sane
ton but also the cooperation of the
American league.
The move is to switch the Washing
ton franchise to Baltimore at least for
the period of the war. Then If Balti-
more warns up to the club the move
will be made permanent. Washington
has been the weak sister of the Ameri
can league for some time. The war
hit the Senators worse than any other
big league club, and besides the Wash
ingtons started to hit the chutes about
the time the Germans first launched.
their drive through Belgium A nat
ural reaction followed, as the team
had been a strong pennant contender
in 1912 and 1913.
Much pressure was brought on the
American league last winter to shift
the Washington club to Baltimore.
Some prominent National league men
even voiced their opinion in print
that such a shift would restore base
ball harmony as it automatically
would would end the Baltimore suit.
An effort is being made to- ARRANGE
game between Baltimore and the
Detroit Tigers for Sunday, June 10,
the receipts to go to the Red Gross.
While this game is being played for
worthy cause it also is to be a ba-
rometer on Baltimores baseball en-
thusiasm.
"A fresh effort is to be made to le-
galize Sunday baseball in Baltimore;
or if that canot be done, to permit
Baltimore to play major league games
outside of the city limits. Baltimore
plays International league contests at
Back River park, which is just outside
of the county line. The Baltimore
Detroit game, if arranged, is to be
| played there.
An attempt was made last year to
| legalize Sunday baseball within the
city, and the council passed an ordi-
| nance to submit the question to a ref
erendum. but the Court of Appeals de-
cided that as state law prohibited
such games on Sunday the local ACT
was invalid. Baltimore members OF
4 the Legislature. backed by big bust
ness men, are now ready to launch
another movement to legalize Sunday
! baseball within the state.

MORAN DECLARES
CARL MORRIS CAN'T
KNOCK HIM OUT


New York, June Frank Moran,
who is matched to box Carl Morris
Monday at the Harlem Sporting club,
is wrought up over the recent an
nouncements of the Oklahoma giant.
Moran, who is getting in shape at
Grupp's gymnasium, takes ,1rnbrage at
the statement of Morris that he in
tends to stop Moran.
Nov, Morris may be a Dig and
strong man., remarked Moran, "but
whom has he stopped in ten rounds
know he's set on a battle with Will
lard, and so am l. When the affair Is
over. remember that said 1 would
come out the winner"
Moran doesn't claim he will fiatten
Norris, but feels confident he will re-
ceive the popular decision. The Pitts
burgher 4 watched Morris in his last
few bouts and asserts he is sturdy
enough to stand of the onrushes of
his towering rival
