Mediation of National League’s
New President May Be Nec
essary to Avert Row.
By Frank 0. Menke.
N t liw YORK, Dec. 19.—One of tile
first official acts of President
Tener, of ihe National League.
:na> be to settle the dispute between
he Cincinnati and Brooklyn baseball
iubs over the possession of Joe Tink
er, whose transfer to the Dodgers was
locked by the Reds' board of di
rectors after he had been sold by
President August Herrmann.
Kbbets' position in baseball law is
strong, and the roar he is making over
he stopping of the deal is waking
nipleasant echoes in the baseball
world, at a time when it most needs
■luiet.
F.bbets does not intend to let Cin-
mnati back out of the sate, and will
ask the man higher up to decide the
matter, or appeal to the National

1 'om mission.
The deal was made by the Brook
lyn club in good faith.’' said Ebbets
o-riay. “We offered $25,000 for Tink
er, and this offer was accepted by
President Herrmann in behalf of the
in innati club.
Trade Should Stand.
President Herrman, like every
president in the Natonal
League, is fully authorized to make
ratios, sales, and purchase players,
•iml under baseball law the trade will
stand. ^
As to the Cincinnati suggestion
i i we give up Tingling or Ragon
nd Stengel or Moran, the deal was
made without any such condition, and
ondition of that sort can not be
added now. It is not in my power to
give up any of these players, and it is
i within the privilege of the Oincin-
nati Tub to insist on any claim on
any of them.
Herrmann Accredited Agent.
Herrmann, as president of the
' in innati club, had the same right to
make the deal for his club as I did for
Brooklyn. Tinker Is the property of
ihe Brooklyn club at this moment,
and if Toe decides to play next sea-
sun lie will wear a Brooklyn uniform.
I know that we will have no trouble
n making his berth with the team a
ieasant one and that he will be per
fectly satisfied.
"YYe have nothing to do 'with the
■u-tion of the Cincinnati club dir6c-
ors. for I did business with Herr
mann as president of the club, who
as the legal right to trade Tinker.
Having announced Tinker’s acquisi-
' ion to the Brooklyn fans, I do not
repose to be made the laughing
slock of the baseball world.
I consider Tinker as much a mem- I
•or of the club as Daubert, Wheat, j
Rucker or Robinson. The contract
lawn up between Mr. Herrmann and
myself is just as binding on one club
is Hie other. Do you suppose the
Ihooklyn club, having agreed to pay
$25,000 for Tinker, would be permitted
if- back out by the Cincinnati direc
ts if we decided, after considera-
on. that the price was too high for
Hip shortstop?
"The Cincinnati directors would
" n<] us to the agreement which I
' gned with Herrmann and which was
' itnessed by Barney Drey fuss, of the
Pirates, and George Kerr, and I will
old the Cincinnati club to their
agreement.”

Cobb Turns Inventor;

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—Ty Cobb hag

fielder of the Detroit Tigers has made
' bat which will do away with the

m pitcher when Ty peels off a base
but the sting which goes through
he batter’s nands when the bat and

Cobb’s new bat has a thin layer of
• ork at the handle. This prevents
bar from slipping and if guccess-
1 will do away with the present
method of winding tape.
Should Ty’s invention increase his
itting efficiency there will be much
mourning among American League

By Sam Crane.
N EW YORK. Dec. 19.—The
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 they are very well
aware that all the newspaper pub
licity their league gets during Ahe
winter months adds very largely to
the gate receipts in the spring, and
ihe 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 Murphy, of Chacago, him
self. who is possibly the best publicity
promoter in baseball, could not have
done it better, and although Charley
was not on hand more than a day or
so. he can be depended on to get into
ihe spotlight from now' on. I look for
him to launch forth more typewritten
statements from the Windy City than
he has heretofore beer, famous for.
Murphy Feels Loss of Tinker.
Murphy will have more than usual
to work on, too. for without doubt
the sale of .Toe 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-down then he lias changed irt
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 th in 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, t lie more of that kind of farts
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

gets a good whack at the boom, if
not a fifty-fifty divvy.
It must be acknowledged to the
credit of Charley Ebbets and his lib
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 McGraw demands
speed. Bescher was handicapped Iasi
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 w hen
