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 D'V'^WOU!/, I KJfVER REALIZED The Poetic MMHlMLr or “them Three Simple lil uuords t—i beforeT -; IT Iy/A?

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.” POLLY AND HER PALS She’s a Kind-Hearted Little Chicken '(toT a Lovely tfkmn~7Hi£> vyolild BE IF EVERY buddy me A6 Thoughtful of others’ AJ VUu, Poo!

Big Trades Add *1* • v v • v Brooklyn Fans 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 Greater New York, the whole country Interest to Race v§4* *!*•*!• Look for Flag 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.
