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.

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.
