N 'KW YORK. Dor 12. F.vrr bwn
around the Waldorf-Astoria’
during the National League’a
baseball work? No? Rut you’d like
to be, eh?
Tee, rlgVit you are. there is a crowd
there The regular league sewdon
concluded laat night, but the gang is
remaining over; f**r a day or two It*
the hope of making some sort of
trade. How many? Oh. there are
per hap a L'OO men here connected In
one way or another with major leag'.e
baseball
What’s that*’ Why have they got
ihat red danger light down at the end
of the corridor? Where? Oh, that’s
not a danger mgna); that's Hughey
tennings, of the Tiger?*, with hWt hat
off
See that heavy-net. smooth-faced
gray-haired fellow over there the
one with a sort of relieved look on
hie face? That’s Charlie Ebbets,
owner of the Brooklyn team. The
reason for the relieved look came lost
night In the form of n telegram from
.toe Tinker, who said that under no
circumstances would he submit to be
ing traded to Brooklyn.
Tinker Will Not Join Dodyers.
You see, Ebbets for the past tlire^
days has been- offering from $J6,0(M
to $80,000 for Tinker's service and he
dkl 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
won't have to make good his large
offer and he’s got a large amount of
publicity
That little chap with the bristly
mustache is Barney Dreyfusa, who
owns the Pirates. Right, it would be
easy to tell him. Most every fellow
from Pittsburg smokes those stogies.
See that short, heavy man with the
worried look'.' That's Garry Herr
mann. who comes from Cincinnati
Garry is very’ much worried .just now.
In the past few day a there has been
such a mad scramble for the services
of Joe Tinker that most magnates
have been offering Garry nearly all
♦ heir worldlv possessions in exchange.
That caused Garry’ to have rosy
dreams. But now it turned to a
nightmare by that Tinker telegram
Now that Garry must make a dea\
with either the Cubs or the Pirates
Garry fears that he may be bam
boo tied and draw only a couple of bat
bags for Tinker.
Murphy Appears on Scene.
Put your lingers to your ears —
quick! Here comes that noisy C.
Waistcoat Murphy. If you don’t pro
tect your eardrums they’ll he in dan
ger of splitting whenever C Waist
coat Is around. You’ve murmured It
—those clothes that (\ Waistcoat
wears certainly are loud.
That ministerial-looking fellow over
by the desk—that fellow with the
cane and the black-rimmed glasses—
that's Harry Hempstead, president of
the Giants.
In that group over there are John
Poster, secretary of the Giants; Jack
Dunn, manager of the Baltimore In
ternatlonal League team; Wilbert
Hobinson. new manager of the Brook-
lyns; George Stallings, manager of
the Boston Braves; Jake Daubert, tho
Brooklyn’s first baseman, and Tim
Murnane. om baseball star and now
president of the New England League.
That dark chap standing over by
the cigar stand with a cigar in hit
mouth - yes. the one w ho lust said.
‘Anybody got an outfielder who cat
bat .300 they want to sell me?" That's
’lark Griffith, manager of t ie Wash
ington team.
Charley Dooln, manager of the
Phillies, ts the fellow over by the
water tank. Charley Is now appear
ing in vaudeville here this week. The
red-faced, portly gentleman talking
to him is “Old Cap” Anson, who also
is doing a vaudeville stunt in town.
“Gap." as you may remember, led the
famous Chicago Colts to many a vic
tory back in tho eighties and early
nineties
Governor Tener -haven't seen him
\et He was up quite late bipt night,
hut he’ll be around tho lobby here
very soon.
The little fellow sitting over there
at the writing desk is Miller Hug
gins. manager of the Cardinals. Yes,
he looks very quiet and subdued, but
be can’t help that now. Ho. yvasn't
always that way. Such mannerisms
have attached themselves fo him
since be -took up the job of managing
a ball team owned by a woman—Mrs.
