•KW YORK. Off 12. Ever been
the Waldorf-Astoria
IN around
during the National League’s
baseball work? No? But you'd like
to be, eh?
Yes. right you are; there Is a crowd
there The regular league session
concluded last night, but the gang is
remaining over for a day or two Ip
the hope of making some sort of
trade. How many? Oh, there are
perhaps 200 men here connected In
one way or another with major league
baseball.
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’p Hughey
Jennings, of the Tigers, with his hat
off
See that heavy set. smooth-faced
gray-haired fellow over there the
ore with a sort of relieved look on
his face? That’s Charlie Ebbets.
owner of the Brooklyn team. The
reason 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 traded to Brooklyn.
Tinker Will Not Join Dodgers.
You see, Ebbet® for the past three
days has been offering from $25,0(K
to $$0,000 for Tinker's service and he
did it ko persistently that some folk?
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 Ramey Dreyfus®, who
owns the Pirates Right, it would he
easy to tell him. Most every fellow
from Pittsburg smokes those stogies
See that short, heavy man w'ith the
worried look? That’s Garry Herr
mann, who comes from Cincinnati
Garry is very much worried Just now.
In the past few da\ s there has been
such a mad s( ramble for the services
of Joe Tinker that most magnates
have been offering Garry nearly all
their worldlv possessions in exchange.
That caused Garry to have rosy
dreams. Rut now it turned to a
nightmare by that Tinker telegram.
Now that Garry must make a deal
with either the Cubs or the Pirates
Garry fear* that he may he bam
boozled and draw only a couple of bat
bags for Tinker.
Murphy Appears on Scene.
Put your fingers to your .ear® -
quick! Here comes that noisy C.
Waistcoat Murphy. If you don’t pro
tect your eardrums they'll be in dan
ger of splitting whenever C. Waist
coat is around. You’ve murmured it
—those clothes that C. 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
Tn that group over there are John
Foster. secretary of the Giants; Jack
Dunn. managcr v of the Baltimore In
ternational League team Wilbert
Robinson, new manager of the Rrook

the Boston Braves; Jake Datibert. the
Brooklyn's first baseman, and Tim
Murnane. old 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 who Just said,
"Anybody got an outfielder who cas
bat 300 they want to sell me?" That’s
Clark Griffith, manager of the Wash
ington team.
Charley Dooln. manager of the
Phillies. 1s the fellow over by the
water tank Charley is now' appear
ing in vaudeville h^re this w’eek The
red-faced, portly gentleman talking
to him is "Old Cap" Anson, who also
is doing a vaudeville stunt in town.
"Cap," as you may remember, led the
famous Chicago Colts to many a vic
tory back in the eighties and early
nineties
Governor Tener—haven’t seen him
vet. He was up quite late last night,
but he'll be around the lobby here
very soon
JThe 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
he 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- Mrs.
Helen Britton.

N EW ORLEANS. LA.. Dec. II —
Fallowing his knock-out w1b
over "Wildcat” Fern* in two
rounds here Wednesday night, Mike
Gibbons stated this morning that he
would renew his efforts to drag
Packey McFarland into the ring with
him.
Gibbon® is being touted here as the
greatest welterweight tn years, and
there are many here who would back
hint against even George Chip. Gib
bons. however, warns to get McFar
land into the ring with him. Packer's
i recent refusal to make weight for
; Britton proves that the Chicago boy
i» a lightw eight no more, according to
Mike.
There is little doubt among fans
that a bout between Gibbons and
Packey would draw a banner house.
Jt is also likely that Promoter Tor-
torich will make a stab at landing
I the choice card. Billy Gibson, of New
i York, is also hot after the scrap. and.
