Higgins Offers Players.

A deal between the Yankees and
the Athletics is the latest rumor on
the Forty-second street baseball
exchange. There have been reports
current for several days that the
Yanks are trying to make some kind
of a deal for Scott Perry. the big
Athletic TiEht-hander.
Mack wants players, and the
Yankees are ready to fork over a bit
of talent to land Perry. In 1915 he
Was one of the best pitchers IN
either league. and Higgins has been
DESTROYS of getting him for some
time.
Higgins was supposed to come di-
rect to New York after closing the
Ruth deal on the Coast, but so far
has not put in appearance. Rupert
announced that he would call on
Frank Baker on his way back. Col.
Huston will return to New York
next Monday from Dover Hall. and
then trade winds ought to start
blowing again.

Terry Turner Released.

Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. l6.-Terry
Turner. 16 years in the American
League. has apparently played his
last game in the majors. He has
just been released by the Athletics.
with whom he played a few games
last season after the Cleveland club
had released him Internationally.
Turner began his career with Cleve-
land in 1908 and played continually
with that club last spring. He was
one of the most success
full infielders developed in the
league. for he was a good batsman
in addition to n fast and efficient
third baseman. Turner. who is
SO years of age, still thinks he has
several seasons of baseball left in
his makeup. and is seeking a berth
in the minors.

LEHIGH MADE $4,000
ON 1919 FOOTBALL

Bethlehem, Pa, Jan. l6.-The foot
ball season just closed enriched the
treasury of the Lehigh University
Athletic Association. Not that the
association was down to rock bottom
in fiances but the Golfers were
pretty badly shattered as a result
of the chaotic condition experienced
the year previous due to the war
and influenza epidemic.
The gross gain for the year from
football was $17.4T4.99. Of which
sum the lie high-Lafayette tilt play
ed here returned a record-brCaking
balance. In this game the total re-
ceipts were S24.l57.95. of which,
after expenses We're deducted. Le-
fayette received half. or $l1.32l.
