Jennings, of the Tigers, with his hat
off
See that heavy-set, smooth faced
gray-halred fellow over there—the
one with a sort of relieved look on
his face 0 That's Charlie Ebbets,
owner or the Brooklyn team The
reason for the relieved look t ame last
flight in the form of a telegram from
Joe Tinker who said that under n<
circumstances would he submit to be
ing traded to Brooklyn.
Tinker Will Not Join Dodgers.
You see, Ebbets for the past three
days has been offering from $25.(KMf
to 130,000 for Tinker’s service and he
did it so persistently that some folks
began to think he was serious about
it. But now that Joe announced he
wouldn't play with Brooklyn. Charlie
wont have to make good his large
offer and he's got a large amount of
publicity.

Garry is very much worried .hist now.

such •» mad sc ramble for the serviced
of Joe Tinker that most magnates

That ministerial-looking fellow over
by the desk that fellow with the

that's Harry Hempstead, president of

In that group over there are John

the Boston Braves; Jake Daubert, the

president of the New England League.
That dark chap standing over by

ALBURN, ALA., Dec 12. The Au
burn athletic authorities to-day an
nounced the football schedule for
1914 It will be noticed that this J
schedule is the same as the 1913
schedule, with the exception of the
game with Louisiana State Univer
sity.
The authorities deemed it advisable
to drop one S. I. A. A. team, and in- >
asmuch as the L. S» IT. game was the
poorest game from a financial stand
point, it is not to be on the 1914
schedule.
Auburn played eight S. I. A. A
teams the past season, which is prac- •
tically double the number »f S. 1. A. I
A. teams played by the other leading
NEW ORLEANS, LA . Dec. 12 The
New Orleans baseball club has been
acquired by local men who harteofore
have never been mentioned in any of
the negotiations during the recent
changes of the club and will ho run
next \ear as an independent organi
zation free from entanglements with
any outside club, according to informa
tion received from apparently reliable
sources last night.
According to these authorities, those
who have secured control of the local
club have gone about the matter very
quietly ami. after getting together the
necessary financial backing, simply
beat the lime of the Ileineman-New
man intends and completed the deal
with Mr Somers while the latter was
in New York. At the same time it is
understood Secretary lleinemann was
waiting in Cleveland for Mr. Somers to
return and confer with him about the
J. K. Newman offer.
Details of the plans of the new own
ers were withheld. Dut It is understood
that there is a strong probability that
Lhurle* Frank will return to bis old
plu< e as manager.
It was stated that it is planned to
start at once to rebuild the entire club,
as far as players are concerned, with
the idea of placing a winning leant on
the field for the season of 1914.
