N EW YORK, Deo. 20—Tho Cin-
cinnutl Club of the National
League is not owned bv August
Herrmann, otherwise known as <lur
ry, and Joe Tinker was not ft red from
the managerial job by Herrmann.
The Inside history of the Reds dur«
lng tlie last few months has been
learned from one of the trusted at
taches of the club who attended the
annual meeting of the National
League In New York last week, and
some of the facts he disgorges wil.
upset a lot of opinions held by Cin
cinnati fans
The present owners of the Reds are
Julius Pleischmann and his brother.
Max. Julius Is a former Mayor of
Cincinnati. They had been interested
financially in the Unis for several
years past, but the deal by which
they obtained absolute control of the
club was not put through until the
last few weeks of the past season.
Herrmann, who still is president of
the club, will remain in that office as
long as he wishes unless he refuted
to do tho bidding of hi* bosses He
now is only a figurehead, being re
tained in the position of president
largely because of his prominent rep
utation in baseball affairs and his
long service rendered to organized ball
as chairman «»f the National Com
mission n Job he has held so long
that it would be hard to think of
anybody else holding it.
As soon as the Kleisehmanns ob
tained the full control of the club last
summer. Max Fleiachmann insisted
that Hurry Stephens, a friend of his
and associate in certain affairs in
Cincinnati, be made secretary of the
club, a position that he (Max) once
field. Stephens not only was secre
tary in the usual sense of the term
as applied to a I aseball club, but he
was instructed to act ns a sleuth or
“spotter," u Job that never existed on
any other big league club. Stephens
was ordered to gumshoe around .tnd
keep his ears open for gossip, and to
report everything he saw or heard to
rh© Kleisehmanns When Joe Tinker
finally learned of this, through friends
who had been tipped off about it, he
waxed hot under the collar, but said
nothing in particular.
In the last weeks of the season a
story came out of Cincinnati about
a rupture between Tinker and the
Reds' business management, which
caused the prediction that he was to
be let out. The details of that trou
ble have not been told yet. The mix-
up was caused by Max Klejsehrnann
bawling out" Tinker at Red land Park
one day because Tinker made some
managerial move in the game that
did not suit Max's ideas of how base
ball should be played. Tinker told
Max to "go to, etc.," not knowing that
Max was one of his secret bosses.
* Irishman was Incensed and swore to
himself that he would "get Tinker."
And, as every fan knows now, he
got J inker. It was Max’s ire en
tirely that caused the dismissal of the
manager.

I greatest amateur golfer," ac
cording to Vardon and Ray,
will display his wares at the Athletic
.’’ub course in East Lake the latter
irt of the week. He arrives Christ
as morning and will spend at least a
week here.
Ev ans will be the guest'of George
Adair. "Chick” and Mr. Adair are
More than acquaintances—their excal-
nt friendship is of several years’
standing. It is more than likely that

Harold Hilton, in a recent issue of

MINNEAPOLIS, Deo. )J.—'The board
of athletic control of the University of
Minneapolis, at a meeting to-day. de
cided by a unanimous vote that there
would be no football game with Carlisle
in 1814. The board was officially noti
fied that the net receipts for the Min
nesota-Chicago football game, played
at Northrop Field on November 15, were
$32,148.50. Of this amount Chicago re
ceived $16,074.25.
Whether the fact is generally recog
nized or not, there is no doubt that the
U'sence of Mike Murphy had much to
with the poor showing of the Penn
ootball team during the past season.
