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.

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. Murphy Appears on Scene. Put your fingers to your ears ouick! Here comes that noisy <\ Waistcoat Murphy.

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 ; • choi e < ird.
