V -illation of National League's
New President May Be Nec
essary to Avert Row.
By Frank C. Henke.
N r L\Y YORK, Dec. 19.—One of the
j first official acts of President
Tener, of the National League.
•,,,i\ ne to settle the dispute between
incinnati and Brooklyn baseball
iubs over the possession of Joe Tink-
w hose transfer to the Dodgers was
f»d by the Reds’ board of di-
. is after he had been sold by
President August Herrmann.
'■ibbets* position in baseball Iaw r is
:ng. and the roar he Is making over
stopping of the deal is waking
nj ieasant echoes in the baseball
d, at a time when it most needs
juiet.
hbets does not intend to let Cin-
: : iti back.out of the sale, and will
lie man higher up to decide the
ii. r, or appeal to the National
'ommission.
Flu* deal was made by the Brook-
vii club in good faith.” said Ebbets
i>. "We offered $25,000 for Tink-
and this offer was accepted by
i'n-sident Herrmann in behalf of the
- innati club.
Trade Should Stand.
I'lvsidtnr Herrman, like every
president in the Natonal
gue, is fully authorized to make
sales, and purchase players,
under baseball law the trade will
' to the Cincinnati suggestion
we give up Tingling or Ragon
Stengel or Moran, the deal was
. without any .such condition, and
edition of that sort can not be
• •d now. It is not in my power to
up ;-ny of these players, and it is
ithin the privilege of the Cincin-
i-lub to insist on any claim on
i.nv nf them.
Herrmann Accredited Agent.
: 1 wrmann, as president of the
■ inn ill club, had the same right to
in live the deal for his club as I did for
id ■" Kiyn. Tinker is the property of
!•.■ Brooklyn club at this moment,
• nd if Joe decides to play next sea-
:»■ will wear a Brooklyn uniform,
i know that we will have no trouble
making his berth with the team a
isunt one and that he will be per-
iectlv satisfied.
We iiave nothing to do with the
:ion of the Cincinnati club direc-
>•. for I did business with Herr-
nn as president of the *club, who
•as the legal right to trade Tinker.
Having announced Tinker’s aequisi-
i.*n to the Brooklyn fans, I do not
propose to be made the laughing
>t"i k of the baseball world.
I • onsider Tinker as much a mem- i
11 r ot . he club as Daubert, Wheat.
Rucker m Robinson. The contract |
av n up between Mr. Herrmann and
mvself is just as binding on one club
- t tie other. Do you suppose the
1 k <'oklyn club, having agreed to pay
- for Tinker, would be permitted
O' ha.-k out by the Cincinnati direc-
- ii we decided, after considera-
’ion. that the. price was too high for
• lie shortstop?
'Tiie Cincinnati directors would
o us to the agreement which 1
■ i with Herrmann and which was
imessed by Barney Dreyfuss, of the
1’'rates, and George Kerr, and i will
old the t’incinnati club to theii
agreement.”
Cobb Turns Inventor:
No Sting in Ty’s Bat
•
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—Ty Cobb hag
rned inventor. The slugging out-
: ' der of the Detroit Tigers has made
hat which will do away with the
that which is brought upon
• pitcher when Ty peels off a base
. but the sting which goes through
'he batter’s hands when the bat and
"all meet.
' obb’s new bat has a thin layer of
'';»rk at the handle. This prevents
( t ha; froVn slipping and if success-
d will do away with the present
: »ethod of winding tape.
Should Ty’s invention increase his
'ring efficiency there will be much
"Mining among American League
hers next season.

There is a great , mix-up of nationali

Irish, respectively.
MUNDY GOES TO WORCESTER.
BOSTON, De . 19.—William E.
Mundv, who played first base for the
Boston Americans during part of last
season, was released to the Y\ orces-
ter New England League club to-day.
AT
sweeping changes made in
managers and the line-ups of
so many National League teams will
lend much additional interest to the
championship race of the present
baseball organization, and specula
tion will be rife from now on to the
start of the championship season.
While the magnates are not prone
to hand out news during their an
nual meetings, still th$y are very well
aware that all the newspaper pub
licity their league gets during the
winter months adds very largely to
the gate receipts in the spring, and
the club owners at their meeting re
cently closed played their points for
the publicity end with exceeding
shrewdness, even if it was not in
tended.
Charley Mtfrphy, of Chacago. him
self, who is possibly the best publicity
promoter in baseball, could not have
(lone it better, and although Charley
was not on hand more than a day or
so. lie can be depended on to get into
the spotlight from now' on. I look for
him to launch forth more typewritten
statements from the Windy City than
he has heretofore been famous for.
Murphy Feels Loss of Tinker.
Murphy will have more than usual
to work on, too, for without doubt
the sale of Joe Tinker to Brooklyn
was as much of a surprise as a dis
appointment to the Continental tour
ist. and if he does not consider it a
throw-dowm then he has changed in
disposition to a surprising, if not sad,
degree. So we can expect with con
fident assurance that many things red
hot will emanate from the headquar
ters of the Chicago Cubs.
Over in Brooklyn the supporters of
the home club are more than enthu
siastic over the securing of Tinker—
they are crazy with delight and an
ticipation of the Superbas finishing
in the first division. In fact, the more
enthusiastic are counting on a pen
nant, and are already making bets
that way—as they were last spring,
when the home team was only one
game behind the Phillies for first
place.
Well, the more of that kind of fans
the merrier, for it is a guarantee that
there will be more “big business” be
tween the Giants and Superbas. and
when there is a baseball boom in
Greater New York, the whole country
. I
gets a good whack at the boom, it
not a fifty-fifty divvy.
It must be acknowledged to the
credit of Charley Ebbets and bis
eral partners, the McKeever brothers,
not alone in Brooklyn but throughout
the big league circuits, that the own
ers of the Brooklyn club got the
cream of the advertising of the sen
sational deals they have made in the
Superbas, and they will be deserving
of all the success that may accrue to
them and the club, and in my opinion
they will get lots of it, both finan
cially and artistically.
Bescher Trade Looks Good.
The New' York club was not in a
position to promote many deals, ow
ing to McGraw’s absence, but the one
trade it did make—Herzog and Hart
ley for Bescher looks uncommonly
sweet and ought to strengthen the
team in what McG raw demands
speed. Bescher was handicapped last
season by a bad leg that prevented
him from being at his best in his
strongest point—base stealing, but
he says he will be as good as ever
next season, and if that is so the
Giants will find in him a thoroughly
valuable man and a winning one.
There may be other deals made when
MrGraw returns from his long trip,
but neither President Hemstead nor
Secretary Foster was in a frame of
mind to go beyond the instructions
left by McGraw before his departure,
w'hich goes to show that McGraw still
has full charge of the Giants, the
authority being made absolute when
be signed a new contract with the
club last January at an increased
salary.
