Chicago Magnate Returns From;
Abroad and at Once Goes Into
Conference With Herrmann,
By Frank G, Menke.
N EW YORK, Dee. 11.—The glit
tering presence of L\ Waistcoat
Murphy, owner of the Chicago
ubs, and a brisk resumption of the
business of Tinker-ling were features
, f such import around the Waldorf-
isloria to-day that they practically
vershadowed the fact that the league
magnates met with John K. Tener,
leir new president, and discussed
ays and means-of bringing the Xa-
ionai League back from the state of
i haos into which it skidded some
j ears ago.
Murphy, freshly returned from
Paris and other European way stn-
ions, brought with him a chubby
ynile, a. pair .of gorgeous spats, some
uf the niost beautiful neckties ever
I *en outside of a museum, and a
unk full of vests that are beyond
he description of words.
Murphy Trails Herrmann.
Also. ('. Waistcoat toted along a
een desire to acquire Mr. Josephus
■/inker, late of the Cubs and still lat-
I i manager uf the Cincinnati Reds.
During the morning .Murphy trailed
ptfirry Herrmann, owner of Tinker, to
Herrmann lair, and tool Mr.
|l rerrtnann that he desiied Tinker at
ny cost. In the meantime each of j
l ie oilier managers, falling to gain |
■. iftry to Herrmann's room because of i
>1 urphy's presence there, ami fearing j
,at C. Waistcoat might hypnotise I
larry into turning Tinker back rn the
'ubs, telephoned t«» Herrmann s j
ootn or sent Garry notes telling him j
•ij will he to your advantage lb see i
■>e before you * lose any deals con- 1
erning Tinker. "
Dodgers Offer $30,000.
The Brooklyn club owners deter
mined to get Tinker If it cost them
heir bank roll. An offer of $30,0001
|v, as made by the Dodgers for Tinker
a large lot of money for one human
being—but Herrmann blandly an
wered that "I'll have to think this
over."
When Herrmann landed here Sun-
lay he said $20,000 Would buy Tinker.
About six magnate* wanted him, but
line' six magnates M fuieef iMsffiy dt-
ared that $20,000 was too rr 11. and
lien immediately afterward each ol
■them slipped up to Garry's boudoir
Band told him they would pay him his
n.ir-e.
The first arrival was the Brooklyn
liebresentatlve. Oarer, it is said, was
| i> the >oint of closing the deal at
1(1,000 when a rap came on his door.
Another magnate appeared. He, too,
was willing to pay $20,000. Soon an
other magnate arrived—with a de
sire to pay $20,000..
Garry Raises Price.
And then, of a sudden. Gurry be-
Viyine quite coy about selling Tinker
ait $20,000, And quite os suddenly lie
• ecided that $20,000 was a bit too low.
Even a $23.00u offer, made by Pres-
I idem Ebbets. of the Brooklyn Dodg-
was spurned. The $30,000 bid
made by the Dodgers to-day is the
r-uord offer for a ball player. It is
rot likely that an>one will outbid it
but Garry has assumed an air of re-
Juetance about disposing of Tinkei
lor such a paltry sum, perhaps in the
hope that somebody will boost it to
about $36,000—which would be about
$26.000 more than Herrmann ever ex
pected to get for 'linker.
I-arge gobs of trade talk boated
around the Waldorf-Astoria lobbies
all day. but no trades of any impor
tance were made during the early
Tiburs. it seemed that all the assem
bled managers and magnates wanted
from one to four players each, mostly
pftchers, but they were offering nnl>
1 ash. ami the moguls who had play
ers they wanted to rid themselves o f
- J.ij^l not want cash—they wanted
Ibyers in return.

The Uplift Question.
"I hav? bin a-thinkin’ deeply fo' the
past half hour, a-knowin’ full well
that such a proceedin’ wi’ everlast
ingly disqualify me as bein’ a sport
writer. But I’m a-gonna tell you
some things that you wouldn’t / find
out yourse’f between now an’ tne ti’
they harvest the first poppy crop in
the Yukon.
• How to help the boxiif game. This
be the subject o’ my lay this morn-
in*. Every sport writer from Bill
Xaughton down to the small fry kid*
je.s' outa college tkaes a weekly fling
at this thing. Some o’ you shoot well,
l.ut you never get the range. Hearken
to your Fncle Blink.
“To strengthen a thing you mus 1
splice up the weak strands an’ polish
the strong links by way o’ decoration.
Exactly! Now. that'R what I propose
to do wi' my subject.
“Abolish the heavyweight division
fo’ a period o’ fi’ ye«rs.
"1 can see you all a-grabbin' your
hammers, but I’m ready fo’ you.
Of What Use A^a They?
“Answei me. O’ what use o:- credit
are the heavies o’ to-dayV They can
not box. they carry the heart o’ a
rabbit in their shirt fronts, an’ the*
are not good drawin’ earns. Why.
then, continue wi’ a class that be a
detriment to the game?
*‘i call upon the promoters to dis
regard the heavyweights fo’ fi’ years.
At the end o’ that ti such men as
Willard. Morris, Rodot. Pelkey an’
Smith wi’ have learned trades an'
settled down to n happy existence
with ona boiled dinner a week an’
party on a Sunday.
i "Look at that Willard-Morris af-
1 fair in Noo York. Willard looked >ike
a scaled calf, staggered aroun’ the
ring like a honest washerwoman wi’ a
pay day souse under her kimono, an’
gf.v r ‘ a display o’ scientific boxin* as
wudda bin a credit to a young jelly
fish.
Morris Was Worse.
"An’ as bad as wuz Willard, the
other fellow wuz w orse. They say as
how Morris acted as full o’ life a? a
broken-down truck horse on Its way
to the glue vat. Fo’ looks Carl re
sembled a Japanese wrestler that had
just eaten an extra bale o’ hay.
"An it wua the ‘National Boxin’
Commission’ as staged this show.
Here is a bunch o’ Noo Yorkers who
Imagine that they be the smartest set

"Slip the ‘National Boxing Com*

heavies fo’ a few years an’ you will
have made a sunt.
Out With the Middle*.
“Last month 1 counted fo' differ
ent middleweight matches that were
ail 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-McGoorty-tMabby vote. They
ain’t much to look a:. Any ti’ they
go into the ring the boxin’ game gets
a black eye.
"Au’ stop a-' ailin’ Paekey McFar

"Johnnie Coulon is another fine lit
tle oriold as deserves the can. He
takes the bantamweight title into the
Wisconsin woods fo’ fi’ an’ six months
at a stretch, a-comin’ out once or
twice a year to box Earl Denning or

Give Good Boys Matches.
"These be the chinks as need plas
ter. The strong birds to be encour

lightweights, the 1-8-pound class, the

"The lightweights ;• •• takin’ good
