BASEBALL SUMMARY
(OSTON, Aug. 18.—The repeated
rumors that all was not well in
the affairs of the Cincinnati
amp and that the days of Joe Tinker
manager were numbered, were
lartly confirmed to-day.
The hustling leader of the Reds ad
mitted he was ready to quit. The poli
cies of Garry Herrmann, president of
Bhe club, does not jibe with his own,
fi- said, and unices his superior was
v illing to reconstruct some of his pet
theories the team would soon be under
new leader.
Tinker’s' declaration to-day was
baused by the receipt of a telegram
from Herrmann notifying Joe that
had ‘‘violated baseball law’” by
airing their differences.
Si* T REALIZE that I must take a
-* stand with regard to the man-
lagement of the club, or step down
land out,” said the Red manager. “The
jshowing of the team has been a great
Idhtappointment to all concerned and
k have held off because I felt that I
jft.m not a success myself, so far as I
■have gone. Since the club has not
■been making money I felt that it was
fnp to me to stand for some things
Bthat T 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
Mother 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
Snot let another player go unless I
know just what the deal Is.”

Next Series an Elimination Bout
By 0. B. Keeler.
B ESTOWING a parting and futile
imprecation upon the Pepper
Kids, Atlanta fandom will now
direct its clamorous 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 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 a4, again fail to come
through. M. P. & Co. are entirely to
the frktz, so far as 1913 is concerned.
And as for our own little outlook,
that depends very largely on w’hat 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 and 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.
IF
T HAT Chattanooga series, now’, fell
in on us at a thoroughly unfor
tunate place.
Chapman w*as 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, how’ever, 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 wmuld 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.
S 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. There will be
three events of $1,000 purses each
and ten events of $400 purses, assur
ing an attractive program. The sec
ond week of this circuit was awarded
to Urbana, the dates being August 36
to 29. Entries to both meetings have
been satisfactory.
PITCHER COMSTOCK SOLD
TO DETROIT FOR $5,000
if 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-
tniskey's club, but there was some
bitch in the deal.

EARLY BASEBALL MEETING.

earlier date was chosen on account of
the world tour of the Chicago club.
A.’A.C. WILL HAVE WATER
SPORTS NEXT SATURDAY
Bv Otto C. Kioto.
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 Hat 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 he reme
died. The referee has but to live
up the meaning of the code as pro
mulgated for 5ft 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 yet 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!” 1 have seen other referees
do this a hundred timev and* no at
tention paid to It, but* I have never
yet heard Roche say it that the men
didn’t part.
