Cincinnati, Ohio, April 10.—Arthur Irwin, business manager of the New ork ‘American Jeague' team, held'a conference here yesterday with Hugh Jennings' of ‘the ' Déetrolt club, relative to:the proposed purchase of several of the Detroit team’x youngsgers who are/not wanted. A rumor was circulated yesterday that Irwin had brought ideas ' and suggestions from 'a’number of Amer- ican - elub owners relative ' t6' doing away with the formalitiés of waiveny in" transferring’ one major 'league player to another major leaghe. A Herrmann of the National commission and Ir- win probably started the rumor, but Chairman Herrmann - said vesterday that there was nothing to it, that Ir- win had simply asked him to out- line the process to be employed in | transferring a player from one big league to the other. “It requires only seventy-two hours to obtain waivers and transter play- ers,” sald Mr. Herrmann yesterday, “and as far as 1 have heard thers has been no objection whatever to this practice. I can see no benefit to be derived in doing it quicker,” | one of - the ablest ' of the youngep _generation of players and made & brillant showing in' last year’'s chai; lenge ' games betwean America and & Lnglnnd‘ “WHITE LIST" ISSUED. Bulletin of Catholic Theater Move- ment Contains List of 135 Flays. New York, April 10.—The Catho- lic Theater Movement, an organjzar tion which invgstigates plays to de. termine what is good for Catholics to see in the theaters, lssued today ity first “White List” of entertainments n the form of a printed folder called 'The bulletin,” which will be sent to Catholics: throughout the country. The bulletin names in its “White list” 186 plays. produced during the last twenty:five years, the titles rang- ing from plays' of ancient memory to some of the latest New York suc- cesses. - In [February last a dozen plays ‘were' named by the movement as examples of those which would be placed upon the “White list.” Of the 186 plays named in the list only five of them are now being played in New York.

London, April 10.—Francis Ouimet, American open golf champion, got in two more rounds at the Sandwich links yesterday under weather condi- tions that could not have beéen much { worse, . the morning turned into a half gale ! atter' luncheon. - To this meteoro- ing fain squalls, which soaked the players to their skins, numbed their hands unt!l proper gripping of clubs was all but impossible and took many vards of distance away from well hit shots. Ouimet adapted himself amazingly ; well ' to these adverse conditions, thouRh he was far from satisfled with his own play. “Terrible!” he exclaimed emphatic- | ally several ‘times when strokes went astray. Thig seems to be his strongest expression: In both rounds Ouimet and his Amerlcan gompanion, Arthur G. «Lockwood, played four ball matches against Lord Charles Hope and his brother, the marquis of Linlithgow. Victory perched on the banner of | each pair, the Americans taking sthe | first’ encounter by five up and four to play, while the brothers returned the compliment by a four and’ two margin. Lord Charles Hope is about one vear ‘older than Ouimet and is one | of England's foremost amateur golf- e won the .French amateur champlonship ‘and several other, im- portant golf fixtures last year and is | looked upon .as a likely contestant | ,! for the British title for which Ouimet, Travers and other famous Americans are strivin | * Yesterday's matches were chiefly interesting as a comparison between Lord Hope and ‘Ouimet. 'The mar- quig of Linlithgow, a capable player, hardly’ meagures up to the standard of . these or Lockwood. In ‘the first round , Tockwood's. play was ,largely respongible for the win ‘of ‘the.Amer- fcans: Ouimet scored on elghty-three, forty out and forty-three in, to Lord Hope's . eighty-two, composed of coming home. The pext round found Linlithgow on the tmproving side, with Lockwood the reverse. Lord Hope and the American champlon each reached the turn in forty-one, but coming home the even cllp, with another forty-one, while ' Ouimet - required ' forty-six strokes for an eighty-seven card. Ouimet’s greatest trouble yesterday was keeping the ball low against the wind., This was especially true of the atternoon’s play, when hé, topped” séveral shots by pressing in the evi-’ dent desire of cheating the ®ale. It is not {ntended to convey the impres- sion that the young American played poorly. On the contrary, he played some holes beautifully, and got away some' screaming drives into the very teeth of the wind. He encountered a cross wind on several of the last nine holés, and this seemed to bother him tremendously. Stiffened fingers and wet grips on his clubs combined with other strange conditions to make his play appear somewhat ragged at times. At Westward Ho Jerome Travers and Fred Herreshoff met with an- other setback, being defeated four and two, in a four ball match, against ‘Hon. Denys 8cott and Capt. H. Hinde. PRESIDENT WILSON TO OPEN AM. LEAGUE He Wil Toss Ball to Ray Collins in Washington April 23. Washington, April 10.—President ‘Wilson will open the American league paseball season here on April 23, when he throws out a baseball, prop- erly autographed, to Ray Collins, who is expected to do the twirling for the Boston Red Sox, against Walter Jehnson. Ben 8. Minor, president of the Washington club, was at the White House this afternoon and had a chat with the president, who agreed that he would be on hand to give the Na- tionals a good start if he could pose sibly make arrangements. Inciden- tally, Pass No. 1 was given to the pregident. Both the president and Joseph P. Tumulty, his secretary, are baseball fans, although the chief executive did not attend many games during the latter part of last season. He prom- fsed Mr. Minor vesterday afternoon, however, that he would endeavor to increase his average during the com- ing season. SANDS AFTER TITLE. Former Amateur Court Tennis Cham- plon Secks to Regain Laurels. New York, April 10.—Charles . Sands of the New York Racquet and Tennis club tomorrow will attempt to recover the national amateur court tennis championship he lost to Jay Gould eight years ago. Sands yes- terday defeated Charles T. Russell of Boston in the final round of the na- tional court tennis tournament. Sands, who is 49 yvears old, has in this tournament defeated players his juntor by twenty years.

President Willlam F. Baker of the Philadelphia National League club is; prepared to tight the Iederal league to the last ditch for the services of | Pitcher Tom Seaton. An immediate | line of action is contemplated, which, Mr. Baker intimated, may prevent the | Quaker wonder from ' everi appear- ‘Ing with the Tip Tops. Mr. Baker expressed 'the greatest confidence in| his ability to win the disputed pitcher 'in a legal fight. | “The preliminary steps to secure, Seaton will be taken within a day or| latest,” said Mr. Baker last night. “We should have opened up before this, only we wished to] | wait for a decision in the Killifer | case. That should be handed do\\nl itoday by Chancellor Sessions in Grand Rapids, Mich. Whether or | <not it be favorable to my club, T} 'shall push the Seaton matter to the| | fore at once. g |""“1 am going independent of or- ganized baseball,” declared Mr. Baker | “for I intend to protect Philadelphia | Property. I have notified the Na- tional league and the National Comi- i mission of my intentions. Certainly {1 should appreciate their aid, but am prepared to fight alone if necessary. ! | “I have every confidence in the ability of George W. Pepper, who so ably handled my side of the Killifer ! case before the Michigan courts. He has assured me he can reclaim Tom Seaton for my club. “One of two ways, Mr. Pepper says, {lles open to us. Their nature I am !not at liberty for the moment to discuss. Neither will be affected by the result of the decision of the Kil- | lifer dispute. The cases are dla- | metrically opposite. The Federal league tried to take Killifer from ys. | We will take Seaton \from the Fed- eral league. The case of Seaton Is analogous to that of Napoleon La- Jole.” Mr. Baker denied that for the pres- ent he contemplated any suit against the Ward brothers, who control. the Brooklyn Federals and as such are the present claimants of Seaton. “I did insinuate some time ago to Robert S. Ward that I ‘might Dbe driven into suing the Brooklyn" pro- moters for $100,000 damages,” ad- mitted the president of the Quakers. “But I have no immediate “Intention | of making such threat a fact.” Whether or not some inkling ot‘ Philadelphia’s contemplated move leaked to the ears of the Wards could not be ascertained last’ night. But there was some flutter of excitement at the Brooklyn headquarters of the Feds. Businéss Manager John M. Ward, himself a lawyer of repute, failed to put in an appearance for some unexplained reason. An ‘office {two at the , coaches. | WASHINGTON ‘filll of callers waited in vain for him chroughout a dreary afternoon. 1 EATHER TOO COLD. w! Therefore Athletics Do Not Take Chance With Superbas. Brooklyn's claim to the worldni beseball championship is just as bright | as it ever was. Cold weather pre-; vented the Athletics from taking their chance for revenge ‘at Ebbets Field yesterday. As a matter of fact, Charles H. Ebbets did not make a formal claim for the world's title through fear that it might go right out of the big leagues and never come back again. The Superbas play Newark this af- ternoon, temperature permitting, and If by some mishap or other the men from New Jersey won the game they might try to carry the championship on their own account. Mr, Ebbets does not want to let the title go until a | he s sure he can find a good home for it, It was pot so cold yesterday as some of the days last week when the Yankees played with Brooklyn, but Ira Thomas, who his charge of the Athletics, did not want his men to take any chances. He said _that he was unwilling to risk the $10,000 arms, $5,000 legs and $2,000 lungs of the world’s champions to please the few fans who clamored at the gate for admission. i Thomas said that Durning, whose wildfess gave Brooklyn the game on ' Wednesday, would make a good pitcher. It was a wet ball which he was called upon to handle. Kopf, who | seemed to have first call over Orr as utility inflelder, was also highly touted by Connie-Mack's Heutenant. Thomas said that Jack Barry was bethered by a slightly strained knee, Yut that he would not be kept out of the game. YALE CREWS RACE. Two Boats Have Trial Spin in New Haven Harbor. New Haven, Conn., April 10.—After the rough water in the ' harbor had subsided yesterday two Yale crews made up of candidates for the ‘varsity elght had a two-mile race, fn which the second boat, stroked by Appleton, won by less than a length, The first boat was stroked by Crocker. There was considerable in- terest in the race; as it will probably give the coaches an opportunity to pick the eight that will meet Harvard in June, and will also show the de- velopment of the crew under the new AND LEE 'WINS, Lexington Va., April 10.—Resum- ing their contests with college teams, after having met the Buffalo Feds, Washington und Lee yesterday con- quered Lehigh by a score of 4 'to 0.] Thé Pernnsylvanians were ' helpless before Lile, who permitted only five scattered singles. A home run by Cy Young was one of the game's features. L Crimson Baseball HARVARD TRIMS COLGATE COLLEGE’ Snows Under Hamilton Boys With 7 to 1 Score —Harvard Slow, Cambridge, Mass., April 10.—Has vard opened its baseball season yess terday afternoon by beating Colgate by a score of 7 to 1, winding up what bad been a close contest for six in- nings with a lot of scoring against Hicks in the seventh and eighth. The Crimson made thirteen hits, all singles, while Frye, last year's lefts¢ hander, made a great start, holding the visitors to three singles and allows ing only six men to reach first base. Frye had good control, fielded well and made three hits, Early in the game Harvard lost chances to score by slow base running. However, 4 run came over in the third on Waterman's single, Frye's sacrifice and an error by Johnson, the Colgate shortstop. In the sixth Colgate tied the score, Hicks making a hit, reach-, iug third on a wild throw by Water- man and coming in on an out. The score follows: v r. h e 00100024*—7 13 1 000001000—1 3 € Harvard . Colgate FIRST POLO PRACTICE, American Cup Defenders Have First Exercise at Lakewood, N. J.
