Farrell Gives $7, 000 and George!
McConnell for Star at Mon-
ireal‘Cluh
l
The New Yorke. through the efforts
of President Farrell, obtained the re-
lease of the much talked of outfielder,
Gilhooley, oi‘ the Montreal club, yes-
terday. Although no figures were made
public it was said last night that Far~~
roll paid $7,000 in cash and handed
over Pitcher George- MlcConnell to
boot in order to clinch the deal. Gil~
hooley will play his first game in a
New York uniform against the Athlet-
ics at the Polo Grounds tomorrow, pos. ‘
sibly being assigned to left field in
Crce‘s placer-
Snmuel Lichtenhelm, owner of the
Montreal club, had been trying to sell
.Gilhooley for two weeks. At first he
' demanded $10,000 and two players for
him and assarled that he had received
offers from half a dozen major league
clubs. He came down from Montreal
on Monday and talked business with
,li‘arrell, Ebbets of Brooklyn. Evers of
the Cubs and Tinker of the Reds, but
he soon reached the conclusion that
his terms were too high. When he
met Farrell yesterday morning he
made another proposition. 'He wanted
Gossett. McConnell and another player
in addition to $8,000 in cash. The New
York magnate turned him down with
a laugh and said he preferred to take
his chances when the drafting season
arrived.
As Llchtcnhelm also reecived nega-
tive replies from the other major
league managers with whom he had
talked he asked Farrell to name his
Ilest terms. it was then that the New
Yorks’ owner offered McConnell and
:1 lat check. which the Canadian final-
ly accepted rather than be left in tho
lurch.
Gilhooley is 20 years old and is im— *
proving rapidly. Two years ago he
was a member of the Erie, Pa.. team,
managed by Billy Gilbert. the former
Giant. who now is scouting for the
lirooklyns. The St. Louis Cardinals
purchased the youngster last summer.
but he did not receive a thorough trial
and was let out to Montreal last win~
ter. With the Royals this season Gil-
holoy soon became a reigning sense.

buses. Scouts who looked him over
said thnt he appeared to have but one
doll-ct, a weak throwing arm. lie has

McConnell broke his finger in Cleve-
land on Monday and will not be able
lo pitch again this season. Chance
was willing to trade him to the Naps
several weeks ago. but dl‘lluIIB could
not, be arranged. President Barrow,
of the international league. said yes-
terday that the New Yorke had made
a ton strike in securing Gilhooley,
who. in his opinion. would make good
from the lump. Clinuce‘s team ought
to show greater spend with {llllmoley

paid it total of $26,000 for those young

BOSTON. 'Aug. 27.-—Sam Langtord
in his first fight in this country in
several seasons waded through Porky
Flynn, of Boston. in four rounds, last
nig‘nt. The tar baby, fat as a hog. won
as be pleased and only once was he
bothered at all. That was in the first
round. when Porky caught him clean
on the law with a short right swing
and dropped him.“
A big crowd saw the bout. Lang-
ford was a top-heavy favorite. though
Ithere was considerable betting that
gFlynn would stay live rounds with
him Sambo brought with him irom
the antlpodes a green kimono with
iyellow markings that was fetching and
if worn on a person of lighter hue
'would be essentially a diaphanous
gown. However. that didn’t retard
Langford.
He felt Flynn out for a second or
two at the start and then shot lofts
and rights that stung. The light was
about two minutes along, when sud-
denly Porky shot the close in right
and Samba staggered. then dropped.
He heard Jack Sheehan toll ol’t six and
then proceeded to fight again. die
merely stalled till the ball and had
Flynn owned the punch he could have
finished him.
in the second Sam dropped Porky
with a fuelllade or rights and lofts to
the head. He pulled through the
round, for bad he cared to land hard
there were several openings big
enough to drive a team through. The
third was merely a boxing exhibition.
but just before the hell rang for the
end of the fourth Sam shot a right to
=Porky‘s head. followed it with a left
and then a quick right and the light
ended just before the bell was to
have clanged.

BOOST F08 PEBKIHPIIIGII]
Roger Peckinpauglf—Tmr
White Wing. who injured his ankle at
Detroit, will likely be able to get
back in the game when the Yankees
get back tomorrow. While on the
subject of “Peck” Frank Chance in|
his baseball talks has a big boost for:
the Yankee shortstop. Here is what
he has to say: {
“Roger Peckiupaugh, my new short‘
stop. will be the best in the league
next season. He s smart. never misses
a sign. always hustles, and takes good
care at himself. A player of that
stripe is worth big money to a club.
Then he's a hard loser.
"Any time you get a bunch of hard
losers you'll win games. A player
who smiles after a defeat disgusts
me.
“i honestly believe that Packin‘
paugh will have no superior in the
American league at the end of next
season. i got him for the waiver
price after Cleveland had repeatedly
tried to not him out of the league."
