Svnorts Writer) CHICAGO, Aug. 15—The magic| spell of the diamond is too much for Joe Tinker, spark plug of Chi- cago's last pennant-winning Cub team. Joe is coming back to the game. Out for eight years, a third of the famous “Tinker to Evers to Chance” combination is dickering | with several minor league clubs and expects to manage one of them| this season. He last managed, Cincinnati. “Baseball is:in my blood and the game has got me for life,” Tinker, now 49, said. “During the eight years I have been peddling Florida | real estate the urge to return has; been growing. I don't know of anything that is a better business prospect.” After watching the pennant con-' tending Cubs of today, Tinker thought they would win the Na- tional league bunting. “They have pitche and such a combination is not to be found in any other club. ‘Whether they can down the Ath- letics in the world series is some- | thing else again. I believe I would | lay my money on the A’s.” Tinker, unlike most of the old timers, thinks the ball player of today is faster than those of his time. ! “Sure I'm proud of my record and of the fellows who played with me yet I think they were not quite on a par with the lads of today,” said Joe. “The boys today take base- ball as-a business. When the game | is over they forget it until the next day, just as a clever business man | does. In my time we thought so much about the game that we'd fight with our wives and children after a bad day.” Tinker was shortstop on the Cub teams of 1905, '06 and '07 which won three pennants and two world championships. Johnny Evers now with the Boston Braves, was atl second and Frank Chance at first. Chance is dead. They set a record for double plays that stood until last year when Cincinnati broke it. “Cincinnati broke it by standing back on the grass. When we were hustling the ball around, we had| to play in closer. If they had slammed the ball then as they do now, we'd have made many more double killings.” - e, SCORES SECOND ACE s and hitters, ! | TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 15—Dr. R.
