ITEAItST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN. ATT. ANT A, OA.. SUNDAY, DECEMDETS s to Play at Local c rgian and Sunday A ite jor in Atlanta merican By Monty. 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. ^/ r ^HlCK" EVANS, "America’s 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 .Mr. Adair will take "Chick” out to tho Dr•; d Hills course for a match or but most of the playing will ably be done at East Lake. ■ ’hick" is going to write for The • rgian and Sunday American dur- * hie visit.

Robinson, the new Brooklyn mai.: ger, fell heir to a mighty good bu : Hub—one of first division caliber, if can secure a good Infielder and an other pitcher. The Dodgers last sprin played championship ball, but the la* of one reliable pitcher to assist Ruck er and Ragon proved their undoing As soon as Rucker and Ragon, won out by working almost every oth* day, were forced to give way to t. < younger and less capable alabster* tic Dodgers faltered and fell. Robinson is regarded as one of t ' greatest developers of young pitch f*r* In the country.

The St. I,o outfit never has been a dangerous fa tor In ar.y pennant race since 190s but they are something of an uncr tain quantity this year, although a 100-to-l bet that they won’t giai the hunting. The Browns drew about 30 play- « in the recent drafts, and some of then were among the best men that cavort ed in the bushes last season, Rick" may be able to pick about five or • good men from the gang Given some new blood, Rickey in., weld together a team that will fur nish more trouble than the Brown* ever have given before. The Browns, as many may remember, have for many years possessed the happy fa« ulty of breaking winning streaks. Ba’ clubs can go along amassing great records, whipping every other team 1* the league, and then when they conn to the Browns they go down and o r It’s the sumo with record-breuUin,* pitchers. Stallings Is the moat feared man; ger in the National league. He took hold of the Braves last year aft* 1 they had floundered for years in an around the cellar position, infuse* some of his own fighting spirit in ■ them, fired a few ‘haebeena" an* "neverw usHers," and built up a tea 1 that played wonderful basebal throughout the year, and fought to th© bitter finish in every battle. Stull ings next season will l*$ strengthened by a few young pitch* ’ < and some fielding recruits. One two may develop into good ball pu era. If they do, Stallings will have \ team that will be a strong contend*» for first division honors next sea.-*;: In Tyler and Purdue he has two gre pitchers.

C HANCE, chief of the down-trod den Yankees, is expected to lead an uplift movement next summer that will cause heaps of troubles for all baseball persons who aspire to place* in th© first division. Chance took over the Yankees Inst year when they stacked up as about tho worst aggregation ever given the title of a ba***bnll club. The use of the pruning knife en abled Chance to rid himself of lots of excess baggage, and thp wide-open purse of Owner Farrell enabled him to get together a fast infield and a speedy outfield. The Yankees Just now look weak in the pitching box, but some of Chance's recruits may ! develop into finds If they do the Yanks will bear watching, j Carrigan, at the head of the Red Sox, will have practically the same team that grabbed the American League pennant and the world’s championship In 1912. Perhaps the team has disintegrated; perhaps the old fire and spirit that carried them to the creat of baseball in 1912 is gone. Without It, Carrigan cun not he expected to cut a very wide mvath in ihe American League, even though he has some of the greatest sturs of the game on his roster. These three golfers will play Evans during the latter’s visit here. At the left is Tick Tichenor; in the center, Stewart Maiden, the Athletic Club's professional; at the right, C-eorge Adair. D 1 T the 1913 slump, which finally u caused the "canning” of Jake Hlahl and the appointment of f’arrlgan may not carry through into next year Perhaps it came only in the nature of a reaction, a relaxation, that usually follows all terrific at rain*.

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.
