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.

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.
