Mediation of National League’s
f New President May Be Nec

By Frank G. Menke.
X EW YORK, Dec. 19.—One of the
first official acts of President
Tener, of the National League,
nay be to settle the dispute between
•he Cincinnati and Brooklyn baseball
i Cubs over the possession of Joe Tink-
.:. whose transfer to the Dodgers was
blocked 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
).• stopping of the deal is waking
unpleasant echoes in the basebali
world, at a time when it most needs
quiet,
Kbbets does not intend to let Cin-
innati back out of the sale, and will
tsk the man higher up to decide the
matter, or appeal to the National
Commission.
The deal was made by the Brook-
yn club in good faith,” said Ebbets
j-day. “We offered $25,000 for Tink
er. and this offer was accepted by
President llerrmann in behalf of the
* 'incinnati club.
•President Herrman, like every
other president in the Natonal
League, is fully authorized to make
trades, sales, and purchase players,
ind under baseball law the trade will
ttand.
"As to the Cincinnati suggestion
that we give up Yingling or Ragon
nd Stengel or Moran, the deal was
made without any such condition, and
a condition of that sort can not, be
added now. It is not in my power to
give up any of these players, and it is
not within the privilege of the Cincin
nati club to insist or. any claim on
any of them.”

WOOLLEY’S SANITARIUM
By Sam < -raiie.
N EW YORK. Dec. 19,—The
sweeping changes made in
managers and the line-ups of
sb 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 th,e
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 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 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
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-down then he has changed in
disposition to a surprising, if not sad.
degree. So we (’an 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 Chillies 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
gets a good whack at the boom, if
not a fifty-fifty divvy.
It must be acknowledged to the
credit of Charley Kbbets and bis 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 he 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 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 tlie
Giants will find in him a thoroughly
valuable man and a winning one.
There may be other deals made when
McGraw 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,
which goes to show that McGraw still
has full charge of the Giants, the
authority being made absolute when
he signed a new contract with the
club last January at an increased
salary.

UHLAN— World’s Greatest Trotter ^P Ti ” 1 "" lillil
HILLINGS’ trotting gelding, Uhlan, made historic the 1911 meet at Cleveland,
when, on August 11, he lowered the world’s record he d from 1906 by Major
Del mar, by covering the half-mile to wagon in 56}:j seconds. This clipped 3 j 4
seconds off Major Delmar’s mark.
Uhlan’s new record is not only the world’s trotting record to wagon, but
even faster than Major Delmar’s record of 59 J4 seconds to sulky and only a
quarter of a second slower than Dan Patch’s paced half-mile to sulky behind a
wind shield.
