TO QUIT JIM
B OSTON, Aug. 18.—The repeated
rumors that all was not well in
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 unde#
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.

»*J REALIZE that I must take a
stand with regard to the man
agement of the club, or step down
( and out,” said the Red manager. "The
Bhowing of the team has been a great
dinappointment to all concerned and
f 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-
•f 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 bv the owners. I shall
not let another player go. unless I
know Just what the deal is.”
GRAND CIRCUIT MEET OPENS
AT CHARLESTON NEXT WEEK
CHARLESTOl). ILL., Aue. IS.—The
Eastern Illinois Grand Racing Cir
cuit opens the season with a program
at Charleston next week, the dates
being August 19 to 23. There will be
three events of $1,000 purses each
ind ten events of $100 purses, assur
ing an attractive program. The sec
ond week of this circuit was awarded
to Urbana, the dates being August 20
to 29. Entries to both meetings have
been satisfactory.
PITCHER COMSTOCK SOLD
TO DETROIT FOR $5,000
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., Aug. 18.—
j 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
loans for $5,000, Catcher Rondeau and
b. pitcher to be named later. Com
stock had been reported sold to Co-
miskey’s club, but there was some
hitch in the deal.
B SSTOWING a parting and futile
imprecation upon the Pepper
Kids, Atlanta fandom will now'
direct its clamorous attention to the
advincing Barons, here for 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 combat, 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 Me?*srs. Moley,
Prough, et al, again fail to come
through. M. P. & Co. are entirely to
the frittz, 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 stemming along 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 pacemaker.
(A 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.
T HAT Chattanooga series, 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
season for alibis.
Except, in that case, the Pepper
Kids could put witnesses on the stand
to testify to their own dismember
ment and the fact that they had so
few pitchers that the huge Pole had
to be unloaded three times in one
series.
That, however, is strictly an alibi
with a fiarebac.k. If the full staff of
Chattanooga hurlers could have beer
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 DeLeon in his honor. There
will be a band, and about nine thou
sands guests are expected—If It
doesn’t rain.
T.his 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.

PALZER TO MEET MORAN
AT NEW YORK NEXT MONTH
BASEBALL
Diamond News and Gossip
By defeating the White Sox yester
day, the New York Yankees • achieved
an even break In Chicago. The Ath
letics lost again to the Naps and
dropped three out of four. The Browns
managed to take one from the Red Sox
and the Tigers outplayed Washington.
There were no games in the National
League, the Western teams being in the
East.
Because Owner LIchstein, of , the
Montreal club, in the International
League, refused to sell Outfielder GJ1-
hooley for less than $10,000, it Is re
port ed that several major league duos,
which were trying to buy this young
ster, have mutually agreed to with
draw their offers.
Southpaw Aitchtson, of Ihe Newark
club, in the International League, who
has won twenty-one games and lost
four, will report to Brooklyn next week.
This will he the last week for the
purchase of minor league players by the
big league clubs. There will he a wild
scramble for talent when the major
leaguers gather in Cincinnati September
15 for the filing of drafts.
Having cleaned up in Boston and Phil
adelphia so far on the present trip,
Evers and his Cubs are still talking
about winning the pennant. Evers is
looking for a Giant slump.
There were 25,017 paid admissions in
Cleveland yesterday, this being the big
gest crowd that over attended a game
there.
Tt is understood that the owners of
the St. Louis Cardinals have made a
final proposition to Manager McGraw, of
the Giants, by which New York can get
Konetchy, the Cardinals' crack first
baseman, if New York turns over Mer-
kle, Herzog, Wilts© and another player.
NEW YORK, Aug. IS.—Al Palzer, the
big Iowa farmer, plans to celebrate his
return to form again with a bout with
Frank Moran of Pittsburg, at the St.
Nicholas Club here on September 8.
The Pittsburg heavy has improved
steadily of late and believes he can give
the rnastodonic Western a very inter
esting evening.
Both fighters expect to start training
shortly for the bout.
The Naps have cut down the lead of
the Athletics to five and one-half games
in the American league. When the
Athletics went West they were leading
the American League by seven and ons-
half games.

gast and Johnny Dundee have tele
graphed that they will live tip to their

Dundee returned from San FYan-

Murphy was only to bluff Wolgast
out of fighting young Azevedo," said
Manager "Scotty” Monteith. "We had
no intention of breaking our con
tract. We do not want anybody else
to get a chance at Ad before us.
Dundee will stop Wolgast inside the
twenty round limit.”
