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. Murphy Appears on Scene.
