Menke. N tfW YORK, Dec. 11—The gilt- terlng presence of C. Waistcoat Murphy, owner of the Chicago Cubs, and a brisk resumption of the business of Tinker-ling were features of such import around the Waldorf - \storla to-day that they practically overshadowed the fact that the league magnates met with John K. Tener, heir new president, and discussed ways and means of bringing the Na tional League back from the state of haos into which it skidded some years ago. Murphy, freshly returned from Paris and other European way sta tions, brought with him a chubby smile, a pair of gorgeous spats, some of the most beautiful neckties ever seen outside of a museum, and a trank full of vests that are beyond the description of words Murphy Trails Herrmann. Also, <\ Waistcoat toted along a Keen desire to acquire Mr. Josephus Tinker, late of the Cubs and still lat- r manager of the Cincinnati Reds. During the morning Murphy trailed Carry Herrmann, owner of Tinker, to the Herrmann lair, and tool Mr. Herrmann that he desired Tinker at any cost. In the meantime each of the other managers, failing to gain •ntry to Herrmann’s room because of Murphv’s presence there, and fearing that C. Waistcoat might hypnotic Garry into turning Tinker back to the tubs, telephoned to Herrmann’s room 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. The Brooklyn club owners deter mined to get Tinker if it cost them their bank roll. An offer of $30,000 was made by the Dodgers for Tinker -a large lot of money for one human being 1 -but Herrmann blandly an swered that “I’ll have to think this over.” When Herrmann landed here Sun day he said $20,000 would buy Tinker About six magnates wanted him, bu* the six magnates at once loudly do- . l a red that $20,000 was too muoh. and then immediately afterward each ot them slipped up to Garry s boudoir and told him they'would pay him his price. The first arrival was the Brooklyn representative. Garry, it is said, was on the point of closing the deal at $20,000 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. Oarrj be amp quite coy about selling Tinker at $20,000. And quite aa suddenly he lecided that $20,000 was a bit too low. Even a $25,000 offer, made by Pres ident Ebbets, of the Brooklyn T>ocig f»rs. was spurned. The $30,000 bid made by the Dodgers to-day is the •ecord offer for a ball player. It is not likely that anyone will outbid it, but Garry has assumed an air of re actance about disposing of Tinker or such a paltry sum, perhaps in the hope that somebody will boost it to about $35,000—which would be about $25,000 more than Herrmann ever ex pected to get for Tinker. Earre gobs of trade talk floated around the Waldorf-Astoria lobbies all day, but no trades of any impor tance were made during the early hours. It seemed that all the assem bled managers and magnates wanted from one to four players each mostly pitchers, but they were offering only cash, and the moguls who had play ers they wanted to rid themselves of did not want cash—they wanted players In return.
