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.
