Mediation of National League’s
New President May Be Nec
essary to Avert Row.
By Frank Cl. Menke.
N EW YORK, Dec. 19.—One.of the
first official acts of President
Teller, of the National League,
may be to settle the dispute between
:he Cincinnati and Brooklyn baseball
Hubs over the possession of Joe Tink
er, whose transfer to the Dodgers was
blocked by the Reds’ board of di
rectors after he had been sold bv
President August Herrmann.
Ebbets’ position in baseball law is
strong, and the roar he is making over
the stopping of the deal is waking
unpleasant echoes in the basebali
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 appeal 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 4 club to insist on any claim on
any of them.”

Big Trades Add Interest to Race

Brooklyn Fans Look for Flag
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 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 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 thin 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 bees
that way—as they were 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 j jj
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 ami 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 MeGraw’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 .MeGraw 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
MeGraw 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 MeGraw before his departure,
which goes to show that MeGraw still
has full charge of the Giants, the
authority being made absolute when |
be signed a new*. contract with the;
club last January at an increased j
salary.
