Chicago Magnate Returns F-om,
Abroad and at Once Goes Into
Conference With Herrmann, 1
l>y Frank G. Menkt*.
\ TEW YORK, Dec. 11.—The giit-
X] tering presence of C. Walecoat
Murphy* owner of the Chicago
Libs, and a brisk resumption of the
ju.~ine.ss of Tinker-ling were features
i.i such import around the Waldorf-
Astoria to-day that they practically
• iversHadowed the fact that the league
magnates met with John K. Tener,
. heir new president, and discussed
w ays and means of bringing the Na-
ional League back from the state of
haos into which it skidded some
> ears ago.
.Murphy, freshly returned from
i’ii-is and other European way sta- *
ions, brought with him a chubby?
.-mile, a pair of got | . -uie I
if the most beautiful neckties ever
nefn outside of a museum, and a
• unk full of vests that are beyond
te description of e words.
Murphy Trails Herrmann.
Also, Waistcoat toted along a
, *en desire to acquire Mr. Josephus
Tinker, lute of the Cubs and still lat
er manager of the Cincinnati Reds.
During the morning Murphy trailed
Garry Herrmann, owner of Tinker, to
the Herrmann lair, and told Mr.
Herrmann that he desired Tinkei at
*ny. cost. In the -meantime each of
the other managers, failing to gain
• ntry to Herrmann’s room because of
Murphy’s presence there, and fearing
hat C. Waistcoat might hypnotise
Harry into turning Tinker back to the
hibs, telephoned to Herrmanns
oom or sent Garry notes telling him
it will be to your advantage to see
me before you close any deals con-
erning Tinker."
Dodgers Offer $30,000.
J The Brooklyn club owners deter-
I mined to get Tinker if it cost them
I -heir bank roll. An offer of $30,000
I was made by the Dodgers for Tinkei
I - -a large lot of money for one human
being—but Herrmann blandly an
swered that “I’ll have to think this
I over.”
When Herrmann landed here Sun
day lie said $20,000 would buy Tinker
About six magnates wanted him, but
[ he six magnates at once loudly de
li lured that $20,000 was too much, and
■Then Immediately afterward each ol
it hem slipped up to Garry’s boudoir
land told him they would pay him his
[ price.
The first arrival was the Brooklyn
representative. Garry, it is said, was
•n the point of closing the deal at
>20,900 when a rap came on Jiis door.
Another magnate appeared. He, too,
ras willing to pay $2f‘,000. Soon an
other magnate arrived—with a de
sire to pay $20,000.'
Garry Raises Price.
And then, of a sudden. Garry br
ume quife coy about selling Tinker
,u $20,000. And quite as suddenly he
©elded that $20,000 was a bit too low.
Even a $25,000 offer, made by Pres-,
idem Ebbets, of the Brooklyn Dodg
ers, was spurned. Tlye $30,000 bid
made by the Dodgers to-day is the
-coord offer for a ball player. It is
not likely that anyone will outbid it.
out Garry has assumed an air of re
luctance about disposing of Tinkei
lor such a paltry sum, perhaps in the
:ope that somebody will boost it tc i
about $35,000—which would be about j
*25,000 more than Herrmann ever ex- j
Pected to get for 1 inker.

Blinkey Ben Talks on Uplift of Boxing Game

Blinkey Ben had removed his hat

of copy paper clutched in his hands.
Zigzag streaks, scratched in blue lead
above and behind Ids light ear, of-
tered evidence that the old man had
been struggling through a siege of
p hut he was wont to terra “the throes
o’ composition.”
“I wi’ be with you fo’ some few
minutes to come.” he continued, “an'
you wi’ please be so kind as to bear
wi’ me an’ weigh well what I wouldsj
have spread befo* the clamorin’ pub-
lie.
Th© Uplift Question.

“To strengthen a tiling you must
splice up the weak strands an’ polish
j lie strong links by way o’ decoration.
Exactly! Now, that’s what T propose
to do wi’ my subject.
“Abolish the heavyweight division
fo’ a period o’ fi f years.
“I can see you all a grabbln* your
hammers, but I’m ready to’ you.
Of What Use Are They?
Answer me. O’ what use oi credit
are the heavies o’ to-day? They can
not box. they /arry the heart o* a
rabbit in their shirt fronts, an' they
arc not good thawin' carle. Why,
then, continue wi’ a class that be tr

“Look at that Willard-Mon is iiT-

Out With - the Middle*.
"Last month I counted fo’ differ
ent middleweight matches tliut were
all fo’ ‘the world's championship.’
Here’s another chance fo’ the promot
ers to look the other way. Let the
middles go to seed until we lose the
Klaus-AIcGooriy-Clabby vote. They
ain't much to look a». Any ti* they
go into the ring the boxin’ game gets
a black eye.
“An' stop* a-callin’ Paekey McFar

at «i stretch, a-cornin’ out once or
twice a year to box Ear! Denning or
George Kitson. Make him fight John
nie Williams l'o’ the title or get outta
the game.
Give Good Boys Matches.
“These be the chinks as need pias
ter. The strong birds to be encour
aged to keels on a-siegin' are the
lightweights, the 1JS-pound class, the
leathers and bantams.
“The lightweights are takin’ good
cate o’ themselves. Nine outta every
ten lightweight cards give satisfac
tion.
“In the* 128 crowd we have Dundee,
White and several other good boys
that should be used as often us
matches can be strung. Boost a re
turn match between Kilbane and Al

the preliminaries in hopes o’ devel
opin' championship material.
“The bantams. Williams. Campiand
Ledoux. are too good to be^ kept on
the waitin’ list, tli* em plenty o’

“Them be rny ideas. Take ’em or

Sharkey as said, ‘I’d rather be right
than champion?’
“Not to change the subject, but I’m
