Springfield, Mass, April 30.-For-
NAL transfer of the New Haven clup
from James T. Collins to Edward j..
Dugan was effected at a meeting OF
the Eastern Baseball league held at
the Cody House, here yesterday. Du~
gan was INTRODUCED to his brother
magnates and was then elected di-
rector to succeed Collins. Collins
was in attendance for a short time,
leaving as soon as the transfer had
been promulgated. Dugan Wlthhela
comment on his intended plans, stat
ing that he chose to talk the situation
over first with Danny Murphy, whom
he expects to retain as manager.
The schedule committee which has
been working on its list of games Tor
over two weeks, submitted It's dralt

that the league will have to remain III

TENER APPROVES
OF MATTY'S ACTION
National League President Says Fam
Gus Players Prestige Has Not

New York, April 30.-President
Tener of the National league is of
the opinion that Mathewson did not
suffer in prestige or self esteem by
declining the invitation of William
Sloane, chairman Of the War Work
Council of the Y. M. G. A., to go to
france at this time as baseball di-
rector of Gen. Persl1ings forces.
'Of the War Department, or any
Governmental officer had addressed
such an invitation 20 Matty, or even
intimated that he was wanted in
France, it would have been a COM
mand, and MathewSOn would not
have hesitated a moment But the
invitation did not come from any
Governmental source, but from
war relief organization, which made
1t optional for the Cincinnati mama
ger to accept or reject it. While it
was a great tribute to Mathewsons
sterling qualities the invitation was
no different than one the knights of
Columbus, the Salvation Army or the
Elks might have made to some other
individual. ,Mathewson threshed the
matter over thoroughly with Presi-

their Sunday gate enabled the club
to meet expenses.
However, the hackers of the new
International league must have been
aware of what to expect, as the new
Newark club was anxious to use the
Harrison plant, but was unable to OBJ
tain it. At one of the new Interna-
tional league meetings it was said the
American league was blocking the
efforts of the new Newark club to
go into Harrison.
Newark Had Chance to Get Park.
President Tener said last night
that plans to play Sunday major
league ball at Newark were complet-
ed before they knew anything about
the new league. He said it was not
until April 1 that the majors heard
positively the new league would
make start.
It also is necessary for the majors
to make the Harrison plant pay some
Of the heavy rental which the for
Eler Federal league promoters exact
ed from the big leagues at the peace
settlement. The two leagues have
100000 rental to pay off on the
plant. AS the Brooklyn Federal
league park is a dead loss, and is
costing the big leagues $4,000 in
rental, without counting taxes and
ether expenses, an effort will be made
to make the Harrison plant self-sup-
porting.

CROKER'S ORBY DIES
Winner of English Derby i'll 1907
Passes Away at Stud Farm Near
GlenCairn, Ireland.

New York, April 30.-IWord has
come from Ireland of the sudden
death of Orby, Richard Cookers
Derby winner of 1907, at the Glen
cairn stud, near Dublin. The classic
winner was found dead in his box by
the stable boy, although a couple of
hours previous he was apparently in
the best of health No definite cause
has been ascribed for the death, but
an opinion prevails that it was caused
by heart failure brought about by
severe collie Or an acute attack of in
digestion.
He was by Orme, an English sire,
out of the Americana bred mare
Rhoda B. Some time previous to his
advent as a three-year-old Croker
was debarred from training at New
market, as Orby was prepared for the
big English race in Ireland. At the
stud Orby did fairly we'll, but pro
duced nothing big.

failure of the New York assembly to
pass the Sunday baseball bill, New
York will have Sunday baseball, but
IT will have to go to Jersey for it.
Beginning next Sunday, q regularly
scheduled championship National or
American league game will be played
every Sunday at the former Newark
Federal league grounds at Harrison,
n. j.
Ever since the settlement between
the major leagues and the Federal
league it was rumored that the
Giants, Yankees and Dodgers would
play Sunday baseball at Harrison.
The first direct intimation that the
rlan had actually been adopted came
last Saturday, when the Yankees and
Washingtons received orders from
PRESIDENT Johnson to play at Harri-
son last Sunday. The Washington
club was unable to comply, as it al
ready had scheduled an exhibition
game with the Braves at Rocky
Point, r. I.
President Tener Of the. National
league yesterday admitted that the
Harrison plant will be utilized by
both major leagues on Sundays
throughout the season. The Nation
al league will share the Sundays
equally with the American. This Will
give the Yankees two games there
against one for the Giants and one
for Brooklyns.

Harrison may be knockout blow to

HAUGHTON CLAIMS
MACK'S STAR PITCHER
Braves Owner Appeals to National
Commission to Send Youthful Slab
man Back to His Club,

" Boston, April 29.-Percy D. Haugh-
ton, president of the Boston National
league club, said yesterday that he
had filed a claim with the National
commission for the services of Scott
Perry, member Of the pitching staff
Of the Philadelphia Athletics.
Last season Haughton obtained Per-
ry from the Atlanta club of the South
ern association for thirty days trial.
AT the end of seventeen days Perry
left the team and did not play in the
major leagues for the remainder OF
the summer. By decision OF the Ma
tional commission the Boston club
paid $1,000 for Perry's services dur.
ing his tryout.
Just before the baseball season
opened this spring Connie Mack, man
ager of the Philadelphia team, signed
Perry. Haughton maintains that
Perry, in returning to the major
leagues, should come to the Boston
club.
Philadelphia, April 80. - Connie
Mack, manager of the Philadelphia
American league baseball club, said
yesterday that Boston's claim to the
services Of Scott Perry was news to
him. Mack said:
II signed Perry while we were
training in the South. 1t appears he
had been playing with various teams
before coming to me and believed he
had been made o free agent by the
National commission. There is moth
ing to do but to await the result of
the commissions action on Haugh-
toms claim"

DIR. CLINTON j. HYDE.
ARE YOU BOUND FOR THE SCRAP
HEAP?

Doctor, l am not sick, but don't
feel right" That is what many say
to me when they come to see me the
first time. And that just expresses
it. You are not sick enough to go
to bed. You can eat, you can sleep,
YOU can work.
But you don't work with the vim
and zest of former days. Your sleep
is not restful, and you don't enjoy
YOUR food as you once did. And your
nerves get the best of you. Things
bother you, ruffle you, that you never
noticed before. GU begin to see diff
fculties where there really are none.
Trifes worry you, and not having
enough troubles of your own, you
borrow some.
Of course, to a casual observer you
seem the same, because You are try
Ing to control yourself. And if you
should tell a friend, or go to an in
experienced doctor, they will tell you
YOU only imagine things; you should
shake it off Y GU begin to doubt your
right and try to brace up and be
bright and cheerful. But then your
old feeling will come back with re-
newed vigor. You begin to wonder
if it really is your mind only. And If
1t is so, is it the first step to insan-
ity? Anguishing thoughts begin tor
turing you; you are trying your best
to fight them down, to appear happy,
but in vain. You find yourself il
the grip Of an invisible power that
seems to sap your life blood.
And when you feel your strength
energy and power slipping away from
you, when you find you can't do JUS
tice to your work any longer, then
you become respondent and might
even feel tempted to end it all.
You are very much in the same
condition as a delicately constructed
engine, which has not been cared for
right. Put it in the hands of an ex-
perienced man and he will soon have
1t in fine working order. But trying
your own hand at it, or turn it over
70 an unskilled person, and it will
soon be fit for the scrap heap.
Let me save you from the scrap
heap!

Robertson, who is soon to go abroad

offers a suggestion which may be Of
interest to professional baseball play
ers and their admirers.
Baseball" said Mr.. Robertson last
night, lis sadly handicapped abroad
because of a lack of the bat supply
Where thousands of dollars worth Of
balls, mitts, gloves, masks, protectors
and the like have been sent abroad
for some reason there has been a
dearth Of the wooden tools of the
game.
MANY of our major and minor
league stars must have a number Of
old bats that are Of no earthly use to
them. 1t has been the practice here
tofore to give them to the kids.
II would suggest to these players
that they turn in to the nearest
Y. NJ. c. A. all such sticks. The y. NJ.
G. A. will willingly forward same to
Europe. And any fan who wishes to
celebrate the winning Of a tight game
can make a great hit with our soldiers
by donating 81 Louisville slugger for
tho boys over there.
Just now, with the prevailing
spring fever for the game at it's
height, ash is more welcome than
cash to the lad in the trenches.''
