baseball work? No? nut you’d like
' o be. eh ?
Yes, right you are. there i* n crowd
there The regular league region
concluded last night, but the gang is
remaining over for a da> or two in
the hope of making some sort of
trade, lion- many? Oil. there are
perhaps -00 men here connected in
«>ne wav or another with major leag e
base ball.
What s that? Why have they got
that red danger light down at the end
of the corridor? Where? Oh, that’s
not a danger signal; that's Hughey
Jennings, of the Tigers, with his flat
off.
See thrft heavy-set. smooth-faced
gray-haired fellow over there the
one with a sort of relieved look on
Ids face” That’s ('hnrlie Kbbets,
owner of the Brooklyn team. The
reason for the relieved look came last
night in the form of a telegram from
.toe Tinker, tjwho said tljat under no
circumstances would he submit to be
ing traded to Brooklyn
Tinker Will Not Join Dodgers
You nee, Ebbeta for the past three
days has been offering from $2f»,00(l
to $30,000 for Tinker's service and he
did it so persistently that *'mn 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 lie's got a large amount of
publicity.
That little chap with the bristly
mustache is Barney Dreyfuss. 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 conies from C incinnati.
Garry is very much worried just now.
In the past few days there has been
such o rnad scramble for the services
• •f Joe Tinker that most magnates
have been offering Garry nearly all
their worldly 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 deal
with either the Cubs or tlie Pirates*
Garry fears that he may be bam
boozled and draw only a couple of bat
bags for Tinker.

Put your fingers to your cars--
uiiick! Here comes that noisy C.
Waistcoat Murphy. If you don’t pro

—those clothes that C. Waistcoat

That ministerial-looking fellow ov er

In that group over there are John
Poster, secretary of the Giants; Jack

the Boston Braves; Jake Daubert, the
Brooklyn's first baseman, and Tim

president of the New England League.

The little fellow sitting over there

The most important matter to come
before the meeting is the one-year
rule, to apply in all branches of ath
letics. The Preas case will also cum*
up and it will be decided just vvh.it
chance the Tech •'layer has of being
reinstated. Professor Randall. of
Tech, will bring the case before Me
meeting.
Tech authorities have been work
ing overtime in an effort to gather
all the evidenc e possible showing tlv ;
Preas violated the rules of the ass -
elation more through ignorance and
youth than any intention to do so. In
fact. Preas is reported to have state i
before entering Tech that he would
not consider entering any institiftion
that might injure his amateur stand
ing. His case will be settled either
to-day or to-morrow

that a boul between Gibbons and

it is aiso likely that Promoter Tor-

the choice card. Bill> Gibson, of New

as he 1 is a per-onal friend of Packey.
it looks as it’ he has the best chan e
to match the boys.
