Squash Champioti Meets First Defeat in Two YearsHugginsMay Yet GetPratt

IfHe Wants Second SackerCourt Refuses to Throw Out Slander Suit Against Ball and

Brown Player Will Not Find Surroundings in St.Louis of a Congenial Sort

By W. J. MacbethWhile Miller Huggins, new manager of the Yankees, has just inti¬

mated out in Cincinnati that he has gone, quite as far as he ever expectsio go toward securing second baseman Dcrrill Pratt from the Browns, anew twist has developed in St. Louis which may prompt the Mound Citymagnates to a newer and more just sense of playing values. Phil de CBall, president of the St. Louis Americans, has been'thwarted in a motionto have thrown out of court the suit for $50,000 damages broughtagainst him by Doc Lavan and Del Pratt for alleged slander

St. Louis sport writers for more

than n month have steadily maintainedthat a d'.'al already had been consum¬

mated wherein Traft was assured toth? Yankees of 1918. This allegationV.as been stoutly denied both by Col¬onel Jacob Ruppcrt and Miller llug-fin?. Tho St, Louis critics inferredthe sole reason of buppressing the al¬leged trade for the time was to enablePall, through Ban Johnson, to bringpressure to baar upon Fratt to forces withdrawal of the suit for damages.The "inside'' story of the St. Louiswriters, it must be confessed, was weakin more than one spot.

Takes Mutual ConsentTo begin with, Lavan, who has been

traded to Washington, is no longer inthe legal lists against his employerand he seems Quite as determined as

Pratt to see this thing through. John-siyi tried unsuccessfully to square PhilBall with the two players before a

suit for damages was instituted. Thissuit, entered jointly by the two ath¬letes, may bo suppressed only by mu¬tual consent. Lavan, at the time ofhis transfer to Washington, insistedupon definite legal action.

Before this latest turn of affairs,according to the Cincinnati writers,Huggins had made up his mind toforego Prat:, who impressed him veryfavorably in a number of St. Louiscty championships while Miller wasleader of the Cardinals. Colonel Rup-rert never di«l believe Traft was worthquite so much as the Yankees offeredfor him, and consented to the proposedbargain only because ot* the fact thathe had decided to give his managerfree rein in handling the playing end.Having been forced to play the wait¬

ing game so long it is very doubtfulif the New York club will be so prodi¬ga te in its offers for the Brown secondsucker in case St. Louis decides to re¬open negotiations. St. Louis must dothis, as the Yankee president declaresthe book is closed on this end. It isa moral certainty that Pratt cannot re¬main in St. Louis. The breach betweenhimself and his emplyers has widenedto such a degree that Pratt cannot beregarded, in his present surroundingsas anything but a menace to harmony.Kis position is even more aggravate«]than was that of Herzog toward NewYork before McGraw traded him UBoston.

Frazee Prefers GedeonSince Huggins first opened negotia¬

tions for Pratt one or two knocks havegone in from various quarters, whichmay have damaged this young gentle¬man's lustre even in the eyes of hispersiste:.', pursue!1. Harry Frazee, theowner of the Red Sox, who has cor¬nered all the assets of Shibe Park saveConnie Mack, insists that he mighthave had Pratt, but that he refused tcconsider him under any circumstancesFrazee added that in his opinion(iedeon was the better prospect of thetwo.

(n fact, Gedeon has been boosted tcHuggins by a number of Americanleague sharps. Miller is naturallysomewhat sour at the St. Louis owner¬ship over what he considers a dircc'attempt at a hold-up. If assured in hismind there is no rival in the marke!for Pratt's services Huggins is smartenough to realize he can get Del f«>ra song before the opening of the sea¬son. St. Louis must unload its dis-¿atisíie'l second baseman. There is noalternative.The National League office is goingUobserve Monday as a holiday. Presi-ont John K.

Pooch DonovanAnxious to JoinU. S. Flying Corps

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 19."I would like nothing bet¬ter than to get into ser¬

vice," said Pooch Donovan, whentold that the War Departmenthad written to the Harvard Ath¬letic Association asking that Har¬vard's veteran trainer be releasedfrom his contract to act as train¬er in the United States FlyingCorps.

"Ready to go any place I amordered," continued Donovan."I am very much pleased thatKeene Fitzpatrick, Johnny Mackand Jack Moakley are also beingasked to go into the same work."A number of my boys, you

know, are overseas. Tom Free¬man, Charley Bassett and GeorgeWoods are getting ready to actas 'eyes' for General Pershing'sforces, Bill Bingham, our 1916captain, is in an officers' school inFrance; George Haydock, thepole vaulter, is another man inthe war game."

Harvard is willing that thegovernment should draft Dono¬van for the more important workof keeping the flying army fit.

Outlook Poorj For Harvard

Track TeamCAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 19..With

eight men reporting daily for the in-formal Harvard track team, prospectsfor this branch of athletics this springnow appear dubious. Plans to entermen into a number of indoor meets

i have practically been abandoned, and,unless there is an improvement in at-tendance when outdoor work is due,there will be no team at all thisspring.Harvard hopes to be able to develop

a relay team from this band of eightmen. The runners are W. H. Goodwin,L. B. Evans, L. B. Sanderson, C. H.Corning and Burnham Lewis. Asidefrom Lewis, none of the men has anyremarkable running strength.Coach Donovan is working hard to

develop a team that will be able to lasta long distance relay, each man cover¬ing 880 yards, and, if successful, thisfour will be used in the B. A. A. meetnext month. Lewis, who captained theinformal 'cross-country team, is a mileand two-mile runner, but Donovanhopes to have him fit to run the shortrelay distance this winter and help theCrimson out of a hard hole.The freshman team has thirty-two

candidates, and by spring should havea squad strong enough to meet itscustomary annual opponents, Exeter,Andover and Yale, "¿I.

Johnson AbolishesA. L. Player Limit

CHICAGO, Jan. 19..Abolition of theplayer limit in the American Leaguewas announced by President Ban John¬son to-night. The action was neces¬sary, he said, to protect club ownerswho face the danger of losing severalpTayers in the next draft for militaryservice. He was advised that threemembers of the Cleveland club.Roth,Harris and ' Klepfer.had been placedin Class 1.Under the new ruling the clubs will

he unrestricted in the number of play¬ers they carry. In previous years theclubs were obliged to cut their rosterto twenty-five men on May 1.-

President Johnson said he under¬stood the National League would takesimilar action.

President Johnson, accompanied by,his secretary. William Harridge, left]to-night for Washington to attend theconference with Federal officials on

Monday in regard to adopting a|method for collecting the Federal wartax. iThe meeting to draft the 1918 sched-

ules of the major leagues, set forTuesday in Washington, will be heldin Pittsburgh either on Tuesday orWednesday. The change was made be¬cause of the illness of Barney Drey-1fuss, president of the Pittsburgh club,and one of the National League repre-sentatives on the schedule committee.;

Mickey RoachWhole Works

In Last HalfMickey Roach, rover vl the Wandcr-

ers hockey team, almost single-handed,defeated the strong Munitions seven, ofOttawa, Ont., in a thrilling game at theSt. Nicholas Rink last night. Roachscored three goals in the second halfand clinched the game by a score of4 to 1.The Canadians showed to excellent ad-

i vantage in the first half, but evidentlyhad not trained long together. Whileindividually the players from the Do-minion excelled, and while they pre-sented tine team play the first half ofthe distance, they tired through thestretch and lost most of the early ef-fectiveness. The game roughed con-

| siderably during the second period,when several penalties were inflicted.The first half ended with the match

all square, each team having talliedone goal. The Canadians presented a

finely balanced combination of stickhandlers, well schooled in team play,which failed, however, to hit its realst'-;<ie at the start.Smith, the centre of the Wanderers,

drew lirst blood tor the home team inless than three minutes by skatingthrough the Canadians for a clevergoal. It looked like another romp forthe New Yorkers.But the munitions makers braced al-

most immediately and for the rest ofthe half really outplayed the locals.McKan, from scrimmage, knotted thecount about live minutes later. Fromthen to the end of the. period there waspresented as fast and exciting a gameas has been seen in this city in a longtime.

Bennett Wins TrophyIn N. Y. A. C. Shoot

Makes Only Straight Scoreof Day.Poor LightKeeps Records Low

It was a straightless day at theTravers Island traps of the New YorkAthletic Club yesterday. Only one

straight score of 25 targets was re¬turned by the Winged Foot Nimrods.It was registered by A. C. Bennett inthe shoot for the Travers Island trophy.In all the other shoots the legs were

scored by the Nimrods having fullscores of 25 targets.The light was responsible for the low

scores. The waters of Long IslandSound in front of the shooting trapswere not only frozen, but the ice was

covered with snow. A strong sun sentup a nasty glare that so dazzled thegunners that they found considerabledifficulty in breaking the flying bluerocks.Notwithstanding the handicap, J. P.

Donovan, who was the high scratchgunner, made the excellent total of 94out of a possible 100 targets. The highhandicap prize was won by W. C. Poert-ner, who took the trophy after a shoot-

j off. He had a full score of 1U0 targetsin the first time at the traps.No fewer than twelve gunners scored

legs on the Haslin cup. They were B.R. Stoddard, J. M. McLaughlin, R. R.Debncher, R. L. Spotts, (.'. L. MacLeod,F. M. Wilson, W. B. Ogden, 0. C. Grin-nell, G. M. Pynchon, W. C. Poertner, J.I.

Hall and CraginTie at Tennis

The championship of the 7th Regi-ment Tennis Club for 1918 is still un-decided, although Walter Merrill Halland Arthur S. Cragin were supposed tohave settled the question of supremacyon the board courts yesterday after- jnoon. Darkness in the armory pre-vented them from finishing their finalround match, after four sets had beenplayed. Hall took the first and thirdsets by scores of 6.4, 6.4, and Cragintriumphal in the second and fourth, at7.5, 8.6. The match will probablybe finished next Saturday.The men relied largely on a deepdriving game to win their points, onlymaking for the net after the openingshad been made safe. The poor light in

the big drill hall seemed to affect Hallin the last set, and Cragin, putting onan extra spurt in the last two games,won the set and drew even with hisopponent.

The tricky manner in which the ballcarromed off the walls greatly puzzledKinsella. He missed many of his fa¬vorite shots, while bis smashing "kills"to the front wall did not return withthe usual lightning speed. Kinsella,after the match, declared that the slowcourt deceived him considerably, butadded that Ganley played a remarkablegame.Ganley changed his pace Quickly, tookthe drives of his opponent In a cool

manner and always had Kinsella jump¬ing around the court. He was th«*equal of the champion in driving andslightly outshone Kinsella in positionplay. Both men sent the bali aroundthe court with much force, Kinsellafrequently driving into the tclltaiu inefforts to keep the ball at a low angle.

Kinsella Lacks SteadinessIn all three games of the match Kin¬sella managed to gain the lead onactual points made, but his failure to| maintain this advantage cost him thematch. While he slumped badly a*;times, Kinsella played like a wizard inseveral instances. In both th«? secondt and third games tho title holder over-came his opponent's allowance after afew hands out, but then allowed tlp^advantage to slip through his linger:-.Ganley was quick to grasp every op-portunity that presented itself, and itwas these determined raili«?s at criticaltimes tfrat pulled out the match forhim. Each player featured his workwith sensational "gets," particularlyGaifsey, who succeeded in getting hisracquet to the ball for seemingly im-possible shots. .The match was the most importantplayed on the clubhouse courts, and thocapacity crowd that huddled togetherin the gallery enriched th-; Army andNavy Athletic Equipment Fund of thoWinged Foot club by almost $200.Among the spectators were a numberof army officers.Ganley held a momentary lead in the¡first game, when he took Kinsella bysurprise with a lightning attack andscored five aces in the first four hands.However, the champion was soon him¬self, and with consecutive runs of 5and 1 aces was on the heels of Ganley.The latter came right back at his oppo¬nent with a cluster of 4 points, and suc¬ceeded in gathering his necessary win¬ning point after three more hands.

Kinsella Takes LeadAgain in the second gamo Kinsellaheld a lead of 12 to 9 at the end ofthree hands. His run of 10 points inthe third hand came principally fromrushing his attack with 'cross-courtshots and bringing lightning return,"dead" to the back wall corners. How¬ever, Ganley a«:ain showed his steel bycollecting 6 aces in his next thro-games as Kinsella strove in vain tosolve his opponent's crafty game.The third game was bitterly fought,Kinsella rising to his best with defeatstaring him in the face. However, aft« rgaining a lead of 13 to 9, he becameerratic and Ganley managed to set thegame at 13.all. "in the issue for theadditional live points to win Ganleycontinued to outguess his opponent andwas the first to count the necessaryaces after a bitter fight. Kinsellafought to the end, forcing Ganley toplay Jive hands out before the finalpoint was counted. Kinsella just faile Îto get the ball over the telltale whenGanley returned the ball along the leftside wall.

De Witt ClintonWins With Ease

Thé gamewhs a regular Public Schools AthleticLeague event, but no decision hung onthe outcome, as Clinton is out of thelimning in the lea>ru«3 championship.Sondack made fifteen points for theFifty-ninth Street team, of which tenpoints were tallied from five field bas¬kets. He caged live balls from thefoul line. King, the left forward forClinton, and Kozonowitz each baggedsix shots from scrimmage. Torpy mad«-two shots for Harris, and thest-, withtwo foul baskets bv LeGros and a lonegoal by Dwyer, furnished all of Har¬ris's counts.
