BASEBALL SUMMARY TINKER HEIDI Tl B OSTON, Aus. 18.—The repeated rumors that all was not well In the affairs of the Cincinnati <*imp 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. ... «»¥ REALIZE that I must take a 4 stand with regard to the man agement of the 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 nave held oft because I felt that I sun 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 she ild be allowed to make profitable t artes 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." GRAND CIRCUIT MEET OPENS AT CHARLESTON NEXT WEEK 1 Barons Loaded for Grouch Fight ►!•••!• +#•5* Next Series an Elimination Bout REFEREES By O. B. Keeler. B SSTOWING a parting and futile Imprecation upon the Pepper Kids, Atlanta fandom will now direct Its clamorous attention to the advancing 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 Messrs. Moley, Prough, et til. 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 Mique Finn can keep his justly celebrated $30 ball club steaming along at any thing approaching its present clip, it really doesn’t make a blamed bit of difference whether the Crackers win double-headers an& things or lose them. That is the strategic disadvantage of being seven or eight laps back Of the pacemaker. 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 fiareback. 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. 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. CHARLESTON. ILL., Aug. 18.—The Eastern Illinois Grand Racing Cir cuit opens the season with a program at Charleston next week, the dates being August 19 to 23.

The earlier date was chosen on account of the world tour of the Chicago club. A. A. C. WILL HAVE WATER SPORTS NEXT SATURDAY By Otto C. Floto. I T may be “old stuff,” this harping and dwelling on the duties and action of a referee in the ring, yet it is always a timely subject to those Interested in fights and fighting Not so long ago, in an Eastern city, the writer nat at the ringside and watched two huskies clinching each other and holding on for dear life. The referee, only a man of average strength, was* exhausting himself pry ing them apart—and quite an unsuc cessful job he made of it. The thought then struck me how easily all this violation of the rules could be reme died. The referee has but to live up the meaning of the code as pro mulgated for 50 years or so and all trouble is quickly eliminated. In the first place, there Is no rule which tolerates clinching; neither is there a rule strenuously forbidding it. But there is a rule which says posi tively there must be no holding. A man battling in the ring can keep on hitting an opponent Just as long as he has both or one arm free and pro viding also that he is not holding his opponent while striking him. No matter how much one man holds, the other man can keep on whaling away if his arms are free. * The trouble with the average ref eree is that he has absolutely no com mand of the fighters. They simply do as they please, regardless of his com mands. I have seen many officiate in the ring, but I can recall only one who never yej has gone between the men to separate them. This man is Billy Roche. Somehow or other he manages to separate the men when ever he walks to them and says “Break!” I have seen other referees do this a hundred times and no at tention paid to it, but I have never yet heard Roche say It that the men didn’t part. There will be a lot of splashing, plain and fancy, at East Lake next Saturday when the second annual “water sports day” is to be observed by the Atlanta Athletic Club. The water sports committee now is at work on the program, on which there are to be nine events, Including swimming, canoeing, boat racing and fancy diving. A dinner-dance will top off the aft ernoon’s diversions. JEANETTE AND LANGFORD TO CLASH IN 10-R0UND GO NEW YORK.
