THKER READY
T
B OSTON, Aug. 18.—The repeated
rumors that all was not well ill
the affairs of the Cincinnati
camp and that the days of Joe Tinker
as manager were numbered, were
partly confirmed to-day.
The hustling leader of .the Reds ad
mitted he was ready to quit. The poli
cies of Garry Herrmann, president of
the club, does not jibe with his own,
he said, and unless his superior was
willing to reconstruct some of his pet
theories the team would soon be under
a new leader.
Tinker’s declaration to-day was
caused by the receipt of a telegram
from Herrmann notifying Joe that
he had “violated baseball law” by
airing their differences.
* * *
« fc T REALIZE that I must take a
* stand with regard to the man
agement of th-e club, or step down
and out,” said the Red manager. “The
showing of the team has been a great'
disappointment to all concerned and
I have held off because I felt that I
am not a success myself, so far as I
have gone. Since the club has not
been making money I felt that it was
up to me to stand for some things
that I would not otherwise have en*
dured.”
* * •
T HE selling outright of his play
ers to minor leagues was what
caused the break, according to Tinker,
who felt that he should be allowed
to make profitable trades with the
other National League teams.
“I would rather go out to my fruit
farm in Oregon,” he added, “than to
try to handle a club when I am not
backed up by the owners. I shall
not let another player go unless I
know just what the deal Is.”

been satisfactory.
PITCHER COMSTOCK SOLD
TO DETROIT FOR $5,000
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., Aug. 18.—
Pitcher Ralph Comstock, of Minne
apolis, who has been doing sensation
al work in the American Association,
to-day was sold to the Detroit Amer
icans for $5,000, Catcher Rondeau and
a pitcher to be named later. Com
stock had been reported sold to Co-
miskev’s club, but there was some
kite.' m ihe deal.
By O. B. Keeler.
B ESTOWING a parting and futile
imprecation upon the Pepper
Kids, Atlanta fandom will now
direct its Glamorous attention to the
advincing Barons, here 'tor three
games.
Indications point to another grouch
fight.
Moley still might be considered a
pennant contender, if you are good at
considering. The reason Moley isn't
more of a p. c. is because the Crack
ers licked him a straight series in
Slagville recently.
So you may see quite easily the es
teem and affection Moley would hold
for our crowd, who also can be con
sidered a pennant possibility—grant
ing for the second time that the con
sideration faculty is working well.
• • •
T HE approaching cottlbftt, therefore.
takes on the status of an elimi
nation bout for the Hope Champion
ship. If the Barons obtain the meas
ure of revenge they naturally are
seeking, the stuff is absolutely off for
us, barring miracles.
And miracles do not happen in base
ball as frequently as one might sup
pose.
On the other hand, if Messrs. Moley,
Prough. et al, again fail to come
through.' M. P. A Co. are entirely to
the frlttz, so far as 1913 is concerned.
And as for our own little outlook,
that depends very largely on what is
happening to the Gulls.
• • •
O F course, as long as Mlque Finn
can keep his justly celebrated
$30 ball club steaming aiong at any
thing approaching its present clip, it
really doesn't make a blamed bit of
difference whether the Crackers win
double-headers and things or lose
them.
That is the strategic disadvantage
of being seven or eight laps back of
the i>ncomaker.
C') N the whole, we are beginning to
^ frog up a little stuff about the
prospects for 1914—proclaiming loud
ly, nevertheless, our entire willing
ness to die game on the platform as
adopted by the 1913 convention.
• * •
"“THAT Chattanooga scries, now. fell
* in on us at a thoroughly unfor
tunate place. *
Chapman was injured and the serv
ices of the speedy and hard-hitting
Tommy Long were lost after the first
Indecisive struggle.
* • •
That of itself would make an ac
ceptable alibi, if this were the open
sea son for alibis.
Except, in that case, the Pepped*
Kids could put witnesses on the stand
to testify to their own dismember
ment and the fact that they bad so
few pitchers that the huge Pole had
to be unloaded three times in one
series.
That, however, is strictly an alibi
with a fiareback. If the full staff of
Chattanooga hurlers could have been
sent against the Crackers in order,
and the Pole left in the lumber pile,
it would have been an agreeable sur
prise for the Town Boys.
That's the kind of a pest the Pole is.
* • *
W ELL, here are the Barons, and.
as stated somewhere up ahead
near the baggage car of this alleged
train of thought, the meeting Is in
the nature of a grouch fight.
That usually makes business good
—also baseball. No man full of red
corpuscles cares to see a baseball
game played as If between room
mates.
Then, too. Bill Smith’s birthday
comes along next Wednesday, and
there is going to be a little party at
Ponce Del^eon in his honor. There
will be a band, and about nine thou
sands guests are expected—If It
doesn’t rain.
This will be a good chance for the
great body of fans who like Bill and
his work to come out and let him
know about it.
