Because of the ser- jous injury to Eddie Rousch, Matty is in need of the services of an out- fielder who is fast and can run bas He has Griffith, who is quite a slug- ger, but is deficient - in speed. If Thorpe plays in the form he flashed on the training trip with the Giants this spring he may win a regular berth with the Reds and realize his ambition to become a full fledged big leaguer- ‘Thorpe’s greatest asset is his speed. Batting from the left side of the C. C, N. Y. WINS ON TRACK. New York, April 27.—The C. C. N. Y. track team won an easy victory over the squad from Jersey City Col- lege in a dual meet held yesterday in the Lewishon Stadium. The score was 56 to 33. REDS RELBASE INFIELDER. Cincinnati, April 27.—Tom Ro- | manch, Cuban infieldef, was released by the Cincinnati Nationals to the Montreal club of the International League under an ofptional agreement yesterday. plate gainst right-handed twirlers, as he has learned to do, he should beat out many a hit to the infield. If he gets on the bases often enough, he will give Benny Kauff and Max Carey a run for 'base stealing honors., Lasi year he led the American association in stolen bases. McGraw is sincerely sorry to let Thorpe go. He has taken unusual intérest in the development of the gret football and track star’s baseball carcer. He likes Jim personally, too, as every one else does who knows him. Matty is wise in taking a chance on Thorpe- The price he is said to have paid for him is $2,500. .Jim is be- lieved to be an excellent gamble at this figure. NEWARK GETS ELDRED- Cincinnati, April 27.—The sale of Player Eldred by the Chicago Amer- ican league club to the Newark team was given official sanction by the National Baseball Commission here yesterday, when it dismissed the claim of the Milwaukee club to the player's services.

(New York Tribunes, WEST COAST SPORTLESS | Many of California’s Crack Athletes Have Entered Military Service to Battle for Their Uncle Sam. It is_not likely that the West Coast will see a great deal of intercollegiate sport this season, at least. Athletes in larze numbers at the University of California and Stanford, according to a Westerner, have committed themselves to military service. At California, he says, the football team is about the hardest hit of any of the teams. Those who have already signed for service are T.ergett, left end, who is a second lieutenant in the Fleld Artillery: White, a tackle, signed as second licutenant in the infantry; de Coudres, the mainstay of the line in last vear's freshman | team, who is a seaman in the naval reserve, and Russeli, last year's cen- ter, who is scheduled to be a first lieutenant in the infantry. Besides these men, there are several who are trying to gain admission to one branch or another, and so the pros- pects of a football team depend large- ly on war conditions. Captain-elect John P. Jackson, of the track team, will be the biggest loss to the track equad if he is called out. Jackson has pledged himself for service as an able-bodied seaman in the motorboat |- fleet. Other track men who have signed for the army are Jimmy Can- dee, George Hijelte, Stanley Arndt, Sullivan and Gildersleeve. About the only athlete of any prom- inence to be claimed by the Cali- fornia unit of the American Ambu- lance Corps. Now en route for France, is Captain Embury, of the basketball team. TO RELINQUISH TITLE. Champion Gotch to Give Crown to Winner of Stecher-Olin Match. Chicago, April 27.—Besides referee- ing the John Olin-Strangler Lewis wrestling match May 2, Frank Gotch has announced he will publicly and without any string or reserve clauses attached hand over the championship belt to-the winner, The only stipulation made by Gotch is that the wrestler who receives the title go up against Earl Caddock im- mediately and the winner of that match take on Stecher. Gatch wants the “three-cornered” best man squab- ble settled. A HIRSUTE ADORNMENT. Wally Schang, the Athletics’ stur catcher who beat the Yankees with a home run, Wednesday, has set a new fashion for the profession. He is wearing a mustache and is the only player in the game who is thus adorned. Many years ago mustaches were all the rage among ball tossers. But when Titus, once a member of the Phillies, who was the last of the whisker brigade, passed jinto the minors no other player dared to neglect his razor. Schang’s mustache is not full grown. It is brown in color and cannot be seen when se puts on his mask. But if he doesn’t shave it off perhaps other notable players will have the nerve to fol- low his example. PIRATES BEAT MINORS.

Nap Rucker, who pitched the slowest ball that ever crept up on a tig league batsman, has retired from the service of the Braokiyn club, while Jean Dubue, anoiher rather famous slow baller, is also through with the Detroit Tigers after some gix years of splendid service. To the layman it is often a mys- tery how these slow ball pitchers couid get by.
