N f EW YORK, Dec. 19.—One of the
• first official acts of President
Tener, of the National League,
mav he to settle the dispute between
•he ncinnati and Brooklyn baseball
i ,ubs over the possession of Joe Tink-
r r, hose transfer to the Dodgers was
bi'-ked by the Reds’ board of di
re ■ rs after he had been sold by
President August Herrmann.
Ebbets’ position in baseball law is
strong, and the roar he is making over
: he stopping of the deal is waking
unpleasant echoes in the baseball
world, at a time when it most needs
quiet.
Ebbets does not Intend to let Cin
cinnati back out of the sale, and will
ask the man higher up to decide the
matter, or ^peal to the National
Commission.
The deal was made by the Brook
lyn club in good faith.” said Ebbets
to-day. "We offered $25,000 for Tink
er. and this offer was accepted by
President Herrmann in behalf of the
Cincinnati club.
•President Herrman, like every
other president in the Natonal
League, is fully authorized to make
trades, sales, and purchase players,
and under baseball law' the trade will
stand.
“As to the Cincinnati suggestion
that we give up Yingling or Ragon
and 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.”

Frank Baker and “Kid” Young may
meet in a private bout on January 15.
Baker boxes Jeff Gaffney at Savannah
Christmas Day and will leave for At
lanta immediately after the bout.
Young and Baker have agreed to post
forfeits Saturday binding the match.
The boys have agreed to battle for a
$100 side bet.
Baker, however, insists that the en
tire side bet be posted Saturday. He
wants to be sure that Young does not
run out of the scrap, and says it is up
to the Young to either put up ttie money
or admit that he doesn’t want any of
his game. Baker claims ho wi’l make
any weight satisfactory to Young.
Otto Kohler, the Cleveland welter
weight who went to Paris for fights a

again. Otto fought one battle in Paris,
and as he lost the decision, he decided
to return home. Kohler meets Young
Brown in a ten-round go in Brooklyn to
morrow night.
Willie ltitchie and Tommy Murphy
have again been matched to light. In a
few days we will hear of both Messrs,
ltitchie and Murphy signing for a the
atrical tour.
Sam Wallaeh thinks that his brother,
Leach Cross, lias everything to lose and
nothing to gain by fighting Bud Ander

T^each can gain any rep by heating An

stick the limit of 20 rounds, many fans
will call Leach a “has been.”

vinter 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 hrfve
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-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 Su^erbas 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 w'ere 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
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 rot 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 gecrue 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 tOjMcGraw’s absence, but the one
trade it did make—Herzog and Hart
ley for Bescher—looks uncommonly
sw’eet and ought to strengthen the
team in w'hat 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 the
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
DILLINGS’ trotting gelding, Uhlan, made historic the 1911 meet at Cleveland,
^ when, on August 11, he lowered the world's record held from 1906 by Major
Delmar, by covering the half-mile to wagon in 56 \\ seconds. This clipped 3K
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 59^1 seconds to sulky and only a
quarter of a second slower than Dan Patch’s paced half-mile to sulky behind a
wind shield.
