A SILK HAT HARRY'S DIVORCE SUIT ‘ Windy McGhee --1 hat 1 s a Name tor a Judge 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. Large gobs of trade talk floateu around the Waldiof-Astoria lobbies! iil day, but no trades of any impor- j lance were made during the early j 1 tours. U seemed that all the assem bled managers and magnates wanted from one to four players each. moslty pitchers, but thej were offering only • ash, and the moguls who had play- they wanted to rid themeelves of i i cl not want cash—they wanted • •layers in return. The New York-St. Louis Nationals • eal involving “Big Ed” Konetchy. iiio. first baseman, still is hanging lire. ..it may go through within the next LS hours if the Giants will throw in a ittle cash in addition to First Base man Merkie and Jnfielder Herzog in Melange for Konetchy.
