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.

"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. Sunday's Result*. I Mobile 7-0. New Orleans 0-1. Memphis 2-8, Montgomery 1-1. AT SARATOGA. FIRST—6 furlongs: Any Time 97 (J.

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. Up to the seventh Inning the Wash ington-Detrolt game was a brilliant pitchers’ duel. CHAMPAIGN WINS FLAG IN ILLIN0IS-MISS0URI LEAGUE INDIGESTION?
