only occasional trips to the cltj, lor 1 j
was industriously preparing to entei
the British emu tour championship a’
Prestwick, Scotland, and I wanted to
make as creditable a showing as pos
sible. I had left Chicago frost bound
much tot) cold for golfing, and I found
Atlanta comparatively warm and goll
playing m the open air a comfortable
performance.
I en.u»ed overt moment of tn.v v isii J

office? of Mr. Thorn a Pa Inc.Mr. George

court.esv of the dub was extended to J

D enver, Dec. 26. "i love you

so spoke a well-known man
of tin world the other day to h.s
warm particular Triend. Never was
there an expression with which the
writer is so thoroughly in accord.
Idfe’s path is strewn with successes
made possible by the constant swing-

Knocking Means Something.
How true all this is and how often !
have we seen it exemplified. The old |
adage about never knocking a sucker I
is eertainlv true. When you see some |
one in public life knocked, you know
he amounts to something or the darts |
of the knockers’ arrows would not |
be aimed at him. More successes have
undoubtedly been made by knock
ers than were ever created by boost
ers. The records stand for that.

H1CAGO, ILL., Dec. 26.—The
Tinker case is still as mud
died as ever, but from behind
all this mixup comes a voice that tells
the writer that the veteran shortstop
and recently manager of the Reds
will be back with the Cubs next sea
son. In a way the entire matter lias
taken on a different aspect.
To-day Tinker flatly refused to go
to Brooklyn, declaring that Chicago
is his favored berth and that it is
with the West Side team he wants to
play next year. He seems to disre
gard the $10,000 biinus offer en
tirely.
This stand by Joe and the fact that
President Murphy is in Cincinnati,
where he and Garry Herrmann have
held a conference lasting hours,
makes it appear as though Joe knows
more than lie cares to say, that if he
dared say it it would be along the
lines that the chances of the Cubs
getting him back are mighty bright.
From one closely connected with
the Cub chief comes the story that
Murphy yesterday offered Bresnalian
and one other Cub in one deal and
Bresnalian and two youngsters in ex
change for Tinker and that Joe would
be made a Cub again within the next
few days. Cincinnati sent the story
that Murphy was ready to give Bres
nahan. Lavender and an outfielder for
Tinker.
There is something strange in all
this mixup and it wouldn’t be sur
prising if ii developed that Murphy
boss of the Cubs, and Garry Herr
mann, chief of the Reds, had closed
long ago for Tinker and that ail this
wrangle and talk was a lot of press
work to keep the National League
before the public. Such things are
often pulled in baseball.
