Menke. 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.” I'M JUST RJ1TVCMN4, PROP. t>APVM<V3 t< THfeORy ON "me ^NfMc.6.

Ga. 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.
