The court held that Mr. Laing and the necessary consent of the court had been obtained to make the trans fers for the minor daughter. An attemt was made to bring Mr. Laing into court by the atorneys re presenting Miss Laing.

CLASSY PITCHERS NUMEROUS Manning, Vickers, Burns, Chech and Summers Have All Twirled First Class Ball Several Catchers Look Good Infielders and Outfielders. Many. Indeed, were the young base ball phenonis picked up by the Ameri can league scouts last season. In par ticular the number of clnssy pitchers that were gathered was remarkable. i-t.f ' . I At . ' vuiaiue oi ,uicago mere was not an American league club that did not suc ceed In pulling lu u star pitcher as the result of the dragnet that was thrown out last year. Of the pitchers, Manning, Vlckers, Summers and Burns have looked the best, though It Is possible that others are Just as good, but have lacked the chance to display their ability. This is particularly true of the Cleveland re cruits, Lattlmore and Chech. Manning, the New York find, has the best record of any, he having won five out of the first six games pitched. ickers has been the Athletics' win ning pitcher this season. Burns, the Los Angeles left bander that Cantlllon of the Washington picked up, has proved to be a phenomenal youngster. True, he has lost a few games, but that was because things broke badly for him, and it was not as much his 'ault as that of his team mates. . i Summers, the fourth of the galaxy1 of star youngsters, has made a most! favorable Impression wherever he has performed, lie was Detroit's winning- pitcher at the start of the season and ! then had to "lay off" in consequence of ! twisted ankle. I Vickers is not the only ripe young ; nger that Connie Mack picked up. i .'arter and Schlitser have done excel-! nt work for the Athletics, and Max well did well enough to keep him on Connie Mack's payroll. Graham has been the only youngster tried out by McAleer this season, but i he has proved very effective against ertaiu teams, and if he is not worked o often he looks as if he would go the route All right. Cicotte and Burcbell of Boston are only fair. Cicotte was touted as a wonder after he succeeded in downing the New Yorks, but his famed "knue- klo ball" has been easy for Boston ' opponents since then. Burcbell ii. dently Is not right yet, for be bat not shown the form that he did with Balti more. ' The other young pitchers that have been retained on the payrolls are Ura ncy of Cleveland, Lake of New York, Cure of .Washington. Malloy and Suggs of Detroit nnd Treeman of Chicago. Malloy looks fairly well, while Suggs has not rounded Into shape. Cates Is a warm weather mau and has not done anything astonishing. Freeman has not had a trial, and Graney is now out of the game with a broken finger. The young catchers that were landed are Davidson of Cleveland, Sid Smith of Philadelphia. Street of Washington. Blue of St. Louis, Blair of New York and Carrlgan of Boston. Carrlgan has been tried before, but Is doing better work than when with Boston two years ago. Davidson. Blue and Swee ney have not been tried, while Blair has caught but two or three games lu consequence of the excellent work done by Klelnow. The best two of the lot, however, seem to be Smith of the Athletics and Street of Washington. Street has bat ted hard, nnd Smith has also carried off his share of the honors with the stick. Each has performed creditably behind the bat. The new Infielders are Atz of Chi cago, Klllifer of Detroit, Perrlng of Cleveland, Ball of New York, McCon noll and Lord of Boston, McBride and Freeman of Washington. The two "live ones" In this bunch are Ball and MeConnell, with Lord a fair third. McConnell has proved to be a fast fielder ard a sensational batter, lead ing the league In hitting for a couple of weeks. When Elberfeld was spiked Ball was called upon to go to short. Elberfcld's absence has not been felt in the least, Ball doing' some sensa tional fielding and timely hard hitting. Lord In said to be almost as fast as Tlioney in getting .down to first base. Atz has done nothing wonderful for Chicago, but has fielded acceptably. Klllifer has had but two chances to show what he could do, but his bat ting more than made up for his errors. Perrlng, who Is always slow to get started, was only fair nt first, but later he was fielding splendidly, and Cleveland Is sure to retain him ns util ity inflelder. McBride has been up In the big leagues. He Is a weak batter. Freeman is a good first sacker, but will not break up the league with bis batting. "As for the outfielders, there are sev eral new men that are sure to be car lied all year as regulars. Foremost among them are Josh Clarke of the ;iaps and Thoncy of Boston. Clwke Las proved to bit a good man to' lead off the batting order for Cleveland, while Tboney's batting ability and speed have made him very popular with the fans .of the Hub. Gossler, Cravoth and Mcllalo have done fairly well for McGulre, but Thoney has per formed much better In every way. The other youngsters that are still on the American league payroll are Pitcher and Utility Man Crtas and Outfielder Schweitzer of St Louis, Outfielder Moran of Philadelphia and Utility Man Eddie Collins of the same team. Collins, however, has been car ried by Mack for two years. YALE TO HAVE FINE CREW.

"The team is playing splendid ball now despite its handicap of compara tively little spring practice. "There ought to tie gradual ami nat ural Improvement during the next three weeks, with a sufficient number of victories to place the team on the sunny side of the .500 mark." This is the optimistic view which President Herrmann takes of the chances of the Beds to give their fol lowers a run for their money lu the earlier part of the present campaign. "We will have the eastern tenuis for our opponents for nearly three weeks, and it is at the expense of the Atlantic const section that we hope to get at... a l M a,....- .... . among me firm lour, continue aire Herrmann. "I have been watching the work of the eastern teams closely ever since the season opened, and I have failed to see where any one team has been doing anything out of the ordinary, With the New Yorks it's mostly Math ewson. Boston has been Improved' by the addition of Bowerman, but the general work of the pitchers does not appear to be more effective than last season. 1 "The Philadelphia have secured a bad start 'for a team that la so highly touted, and their opportunities for Im proving in their work while they are on the road will be extremely limited. Brooklyn will miss Strlcklott and Al ponnan and does not strike me as be ing particularly strong In the outfield. "Altogether the prospects for the Reds doing some climbing between now and the 1st of June seem to me to be exceedingly bright." Keeler Hitting the Ball Hard.
