Feb. 13.—The gue club yester- igned contract of Ernest G. Krueger, the young catcher obtained from the Giants the latter part of last season.

He was tried out by Cleveland in 1914 anq finished the 1915 season with the Yankees.

New York, Feb. 13.—Walter Pipp, | first baseman of the Yankees, may shortly be guarding Uncle Sam’'s base in France against the Hun runners; for, according ta a report that reached here yesterday from Grand Rapids, he has been placed in Class 1, Division A, of the draft for the National Arm How long before he is called is problem, but it is expected he will be able to play a part of the season. As all the others on the Yankco team are married, Pipp is the only one likely to be taken. It was reported some time ago that Pipp had enlisted, but it seems he merely had been as- signed as a draftsman in a government office.
