See that heavy-#et, smooth-faced
gray-haired fellow over there the
«me with a sort of relieved look on
hi# face? That’s Charlie Kbbets,
owner of the Brooklyn team. The
reason for the relieved look came last
night in the form of a telegram from
doe Tinker, who said that under no
e ire u in stances would he submit to be
ing traded to Brooklyn
Tinker Will Not Jcin Dodgers.
You see. Kbbets for the past t iree
days has been offering from $25,000
to $30,0fto for Tinker's service and he
did it so persistently that some folks
began to think ho was serious about
i;. But now that Joe announced lie
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 Drey fuss, 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 th*
worried look? That's Garry Herr

Garry is very much worried Just now.
In the past few days there lias been
such •» mad at ramble for the services
of Joe Tinker that most magnates
have been offering Garry nearly all
’heir worldlv possessions In exchange.
That caused Garry to have rosy
dreams. Hut now it turned to a
nightmare by that Tinker telegram.
Now that Garry must make a dea'.

Garrv fears that he may be ’ bam-

N 'lSVV ORiJeaNS, LA., Dec. 12.—
Fo*lowing bis knock-out win
over “Wildcat” Ferns in two
rounds here Wednesday night, Mike
Gibbons stated this morning that he
would renew his efforts to drag
Packe\ McFarland into the ring with
him.
Gibbons is being touted here as the
greatest welterweight in years, and
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. Packey’s
recent refusal to mak. weight for
Britton prove# that the Chicago boy
is a lightweight no more, according to
Mike.
There is little doubt among fans
that a bout between Gibbons and
Packey would draw a banner house.
It is also likely that Promoter Tor-
torich will make
the choice card. Billy Gibson, of Ne
York, is also hot after the scrap, and

Gibbons says he will leave here in a
day or two for New York. He his
several bouts pending there and
wants to get th< dates settled. When
j asked about his newly developed wal
lop, Mike simply smiled.
‘ W ildcat” Ferns is a much dis-
