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 New York-St. Eouis Nationals heal involving “Big Ed" Konetcny. ■ iite first baseman, still is hanging lire hut may go through within the next 48 hours if the Giants will throw in a trie cash ill addition to Firm Base- man Merkle and Infielder Herzog in exchange for Konetchy.
