High and Pipp Sign To Play ‘Manager Donovan Finally ‘Lands Former Detroit Players —Little Chance for Baker. By Beeman Bulger. ECRETARY HARRY SPARROW announced late this afternoon that Walter Pipp and Hugh High have signed contracts to play with the Yankees for the coming #ea- gon. The local office received word to this effect from Manager Bill Don- ovan, who has been in Detroit for several days negotiating for Pipp and High. Plans for the transfer of the Players from Detroit to New York ‘were practically completed several weks ago, but Pipp and High sud- denly became balky and refused to aMx their names to Yankee con- tracts, Both players will leave De- troit at once for Savannah where the Yankees are in training. ‘While it makes and gives us an right field stands at the Polo Grounds, there is really little chance of his Football’s Fate Up to Council ‘The fate of football has been offi- cially placed before the final tribunal at Columbia University by President According to an announcement made yesterday, Nicholas Murray Butler. the matter was brought before the at- tention of the Universit; President Butler, and the entire ques- Aa tion of the advisability of reinstating the game at Columbia will be threshed the |out.

As soon as it was announced that Baker would retire from baseball and that he had declined to sign a con- tract with the Athletics, Col. Rup- pert, Capt. Huston and Bill Donovan got on the job. That is, they set about to find out if there was @ possibility of getting Connie Mack's consent for them to negotiate with the famous third baseman, provided he should ever want to return to the game, her than Doing interented in that way,” says Capt. Huston, “we have made no effort whatever to get Baker for the Yanks. If for any rea- son, however, he should like to tr: some other club and Connie Mac! should be willing to put him on the market, we would like very much to Dut in @ bid for him. ‘Seriously, though, I don’t think there is a chance and most of the rumors that have been printed about us going after Baker are due more to the enthusiasm of our friends than to a real prospect.” It is ery likely that New York will ha another big baseball plant of the year whether the apenviees hereabouts or owners of the Yanks are looking over sites on Manhattan and some on other aide of the river. It will be some time before they decide, It is certain, however, that they intend to build and that they will begin work just as soon as possible, When a site is secured they propose to erect one of the most magnificent baseball plants in the country. While their relations with Mr. Hempstead and the Giants are very pleasant they feel that they would be more indepen- dent if they had a park of their own. For several days now the new own- ere have been conferring with real It can be said on pretty good au- thority that the Feds have decided to place their team in Newark instead of the Bronx, though they still have an eye on the New: York territory. The new park is to be at just outside of Newark. The ‘ork proposition will come up later when it is decided whether the In- dianapolis franchise shall be trans- fe or not. The people out there are very much op} to losing the championship club, notwithstandin, the fact that it was not supported financially. The long delay of Judge Landis in handing down a decision in the suit brought by the Feds against organized baseball is beginning to cause worry on both sides, O. B, eye in the fact a yome con- it the Judge geen no necessity for a tempor- ary injunction or he would have gran it long ago and given both sides a chance to submit arguments on the question of making the injunc- tion permanent.
