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.

PA, THERE'S HolMMEi ~ TC n!x ' IB KEEP AFTER RACING RESULTS ENTRIES 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 BRETTON A new and most attractive White Satin Striped Madras model which will appeal strongly to the lover of good collar style.
