C., April 9.—lt now is a certainty that last winter's deal wherein New York traded Charles Herzog and Jimmy Smith to the Eraves for Doy|e and Jess Barnes is off. The Boston club refuses to meet Herzog's demands, as he has an iron bound contract of $10,090 per year binding McGraw not to sell or trade lum without his consent. The agree ment between the New York and Boston clubs calls for the return of loyle and Barnes to the Braves in the event of Boston railjng to land Herzog.

New York contract, provided you wiji not bring law suit against the New- York club or the P. R. R. during tpis season." When he read the message he told the reporters all is off with the Bos ton club and that he will next meet the men in New York, where ho in tends to rejoin the Giants. Herzog already has a quit pending against the Giants for ljar-k salary. He has not yet brought Buit against the P. R.

WELLY If W CORM ER- Officials of the Allison Hill Twi light League have the right idea. In addition to a silver cup and pennant, a Liberty Bond may be awarded the winner on this season's series. There are a lot of patriotic folks in the East End, and a general belief pre vails that there will be little troa ? ble in providing for a bond that will be worth fighting for. With a little over a month until the time for holding tho annual Pennsylvania scholastic track and field meet, nothing has been done about plans for this season's event. The Harrisburg track athletic com mittee hope to take up the plans soon. Present indications are not en couraging for a big meet this year. In order to bring about stronger en thusiasm immediate action is neces sary. Central is out. Reading, York, Allentown and Norristown High schools have arranged schedules. Some of the Tech students, who graduate are leaving the school to take up war work, and Coach Hill Is having his troubles in keeping to gether enough candidates to make a creditable showing in the various scholastic events. There is one meet to look forward to that promises a memorable event. Grammar school athletes have start ed work and when the annual meet is held in June, there will be a meet worth seeing.

Daily practice is held in the school gymna sium and Friday afternoon Coach Miller will put his squad through a hard drill. If the war is to be won by saving baseballs. Wally Pipp ought to be in-! terned right now. The walloping Yankee first Backer during the first two days of practice hit seventeen balls outside of the park, and it was not fungo hitting either. Another record has been noticed at the Yanks' camp—nobody has been ser iously hurt yet. Nig Clarke, the old American Lea gue catching star, who caught for Cleveland and St. Louis some sea sons ago and has not been seen in big league ball for quite a while, is now as clever with the bayonet as he was once with the mask and glove, in his prime Clarke was one of the hardest working backstops in the game. To-day he is a full-fledged marine at the training camp at Paris Island, S. C. Jack Smith, one of the best bats men on the Cardinal team, is still in California and refuses to accspt a small-sized contract. It is said that the young player is really vexed, not at tho money offered, but be cause they won't let his real name be printed on the scorecards. Mis real name is said to me something like Yavrasika Smejkalavik. Mike Prendergast to Philadelphia, "Pickles" Dillofer to Philadelphia.
