WHAfA M7r SREAR CARRIERS E« f! 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.” Barons Loaded for Grouch Fight v • v •}•••}• 4**4* *!*••{• Next Series an Elimination Bout RACING RESULTS GRAND CIRCUIT MEET OPENS AT CHARLESTON NEXT WEEK CHARLESTON.

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. AT SARATOGA. FIRST—6 furlongs: Any Time 97 (J.
