See lhat heavy-set. smooth-faced
kray-haired fellow over there th«
ore with a sort of relieved look on
his face.' That's fharlie Ebbets,
owner of the Rrooklyn team The
tea non for the relieved look came last
night in the form of a telegram from
Joe Tinker, who said that under no
circumstances would he submit to be
ing trailed to Brooklyn
Tinker Will Not Join Dodgers.
You see, Ebbets for the past three
days has been offering from $26,00ft
to $30,000 for Tinker's service and he
did it so persistently tliat some folks
began to think he was serious about
it. But now that Joe

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 11\,
worried look? That’s Garry Herr
mann. who comes from Cincinnati.
Garry is* very much worried just now.
In the past, few days there has been
such a mad scramble for the services
of Joe Tinker that most magnates
have been offering Garry nearly all
iheir worldly possessions In exchange
That caused Garry to have rosy
dreams. But non it turned to a
nightmare by tliat Tinker telegram.
Vow that Garry must make a deal
with either the Cubs or the Pirates.
Garry fears that he may be bam
boozled and draw only a couple of hat
bags for Tinker.

—those clothes that C\ Waistcoat

That mipisterial-looklng fellow over

Charley Dooln. manager of the

red-fared, portly gentleman talking
to him is “Old Cap” Anson, who also

The little fellow sitting over there
*t the writing desk is Miller Hug

he looks very quiet and subdued, but
be can’t help that now. He wasn't
always that way. Such mannerisms
have attached themselves to him
since he took up the job of managing
a ball team owned by a woman—Mr.-.
Helen Britton.

N -EW ORLEANS, LA Dei. 12.—
Hollowing his knock-out w’a
over “Wildcat” Kerns in two
rounds here Wednesday night. Mike
Gibbons stated this morning that he
would renew his efforts to drag
Paekey McFarland into the ring with
him.
Gibbons is being touted here as the
greatest welterweight in years, anti
there are many here who would back
him against even George Chip. Gib
bons. however, wants to get McFar
land Into the ring with him. Packer's
recent refusal to make weight for
Britton proves that the Chicago boy
is a lightweight no more, according to
Mike.
Then* is little doubt among fans
that a bout between Gibbons anu
Paekey would draw a banner house.
R i.L also likely that Promoter Tot-
torn h will make a stab at landing

York, is also hot after the scrap, and
as lie is a personal friend of Paekey,

Gibbons' - t>s he will leave here in a
day or two for New York. He has
several bouts pending there and
wants to gi • w en

“Wildcat'’ Fern.- is a much dis
heartened fighter. He does not know
yet how it all happened, and is sim
ply pleading with Tortorich to glv*
him a return tight with Gibbons.

sentative present, amt all matters if
athletic importance to these institu
tions will be discussed.
The most important matter to t ome
before the meeting is tie one-year
rule, to apply in all branches of ath
letics. The Preas case will a.so come
up and it will be decided just what
chance the Tech 'layer has of be in?,
reinstated. Professor Randall. of
Tech, will bring the case before toe
meeting.
Teen authorities have been work
ing overtime in an t (Tort to gather
all the evidence possible showing th :t
Preas violated the rules of the ass -
ciation more through ignorance and
youth than any intention to do so. In
fact. Preas »» reported to have state 1
before entering Tech that he would
not consider enterin'* any institution
that might injure Ids amateu stand
ing. His case will be settled either
