BRAVES OFFER EVERS TO CHICAGO NATIONALS Boston Tired of Clever Keystone Sabk- er—Tinker Refuses to Consider Deal. Owners of the Boston National league club have tired of Johnny Evers. ‘They have offered him to the Cubs in exchange for Heinle Zimmerman, the slugging third baseman. This has been announced by Man- ager Tinker of the Gubs who says he refused. to consider the deal, although he knew it would be a big boost for the Cubs to have Evers back at the keystone sack. 1 -could. not use Evers now” sald Tinker, “I have a star second baseman in Steve Yerkes, and what is more I meed a third baseman.

New York, Jan. 27.—Continued heavy lquidation and short selling, the latter probably predominating, added to the further impairment of values today. Wednesday’s _ selling movement was resumed at the outset and save for 38 | desultory rallies was maintained al- most to the end. Heaviness was again most pro- nounced. in the. railway division, al- though numerdus other stocks of va- ried descriptions suffered, in some in- stances to a_greater extent. Coppers and.some of the war group were among the few exceptions. Declines were ef- fected on comparatively small offer- ings. The movement. was deliberate, lacking the feverishness which accom- panies forced selling. There were no overnight develop~ wépts to which the downward course coulg reasonably be ascribed, but the ‘market's weak technical condition, due wainly’'to its “over-extension on the. buying side, made it susceptible to suc- cessfve bear attacks. The only impor- tant event bearing up prices—the St. Paul _aividend—which was increased from 2 to 2 1-2 per cent. semi-annual- ly,” did not materialize until the final hour, when prices hardened all around, some previous losses being changed to slight net gains. In the broader fleld of finance the sale.by the state of New. York of $25,- 000,000 4 per cent. bonds was in all es- tials such a.success, the raising es_and numerous bids attesting to e soundness of investment conditions. Other favorable factors were found in the incessant .demand for fabricated steel,and iron, as well as copper, while general trade reports from _varlous parts of the country were of their re- cent encouraging tenor. Eries were the weak features of the rails, the common -losing 1 at 35 7-8, and the first and second pre- ferred over 3 each.

This meang that “B4" ork - city. fon, according to the latest, in about a week or 10 days. ‘While Mr. is thinking the verdict, which may be final mere recommendation according to the various reports, but which is more likely to be final than anything else, it might be well to ask why New Tork city should be the scene of an nvestigatian of New England baseball affairs. New York is very convenient for the individual members of the The a Wil over or a easonable ta assume that the discussion of New England baseball should have been in New England, in the territory con- cerned. Both mergers and Eastern assoclation forces will agree to this, If the meeting were in Worcester. Hartford or Springfleld the men con- cerned would get a better view of the leagues on the rack. About the only thing that can be.viewed properly in New York is New York. Annther angle—a meeting of New England baseball interests in marves lous Manhattan would be as hot rela- tively in that city as a meetlng of the Sunday school athletic \league of Mid- diebury, Vt, in this city. New Eng- land loses by contrast by being forced to go to the city of big stu fito talk over its baseball affairs. A discussion of family affairs in New England would looks as snappy as a review of the Eastern assoclation and New Bng- land league in Manhat. ~The investi- gating committee can only investigate New England affairs in New England: in New York, it can get and has got the views of the New England mag- Dpates. A little squint at the ball.parks in the various New England cities, another squint at those leases—op- tions are meant probably—and a long look at the cities themselves, would At in any kind of a thorough investi- gation. Then again the baseball pulse of the fans cbuld be felt on the side during the touring investigation. Minor league baseball can be han- dled better than it has been in past pears and that means from,the con- troling powers. While the big leagues are big and all that, the minors Should not be considered as kids.to.be demlth with in & hurry, nor as kids to be This is mot intended as a rep investigating committee, It is merely an attempt to emphasizé the fact that note enough stock has been placed in the minors by basebatl in general and probably nobody in ‘the world realizes this more than Ed Bar- row, president of the International league, and member of the special committee. The minors take them- selves seriously, but they cannot ex- pect to be téken very seriously in New York, be it ever so’ convient for York, be it_ever so convenient for everybody. More interest in baseball in the afficted territory could be stolrred’ up by holding one- meeting than & dozen spnilar run-togethers on Brodway. But the verdict is the main thing and if it is the right one the fans will not_care whether it comes from China or Kalamazoo. However, we can't get away from the fact that New York should not be flattered with any more of New Englend baseball rows. This league by the way, in past years has met in Boston, because-it is “han- dy." The New England people have made many a trip to Boston and they Probably realize now that no meeting of thelr league should ever have been. held in Boston. Such meetings should have been in the league territory and not In places that make them look small. Once the Fastern association had the nerve to hold a session in New York city.

Nar Rucker has Manager Wilbert Robinson that his left flipper is sound again and that he will win 25 games for the Dodgers next season. Robinson will discipline Rucker as soon as he joins the club for making such a crack.

While it is a known fact that the “toe-hold” is one of the most deadly in its effect, still there is a feeling among wrestling followers that the hold is' an unfair one and hence is being banned by the promoters. In Stecher's case he has one favorite- hold, the ' “scissors,” which seems to be his chief stock in trade. It is even more deadly than the ‘“toe-hold.” But in comparing. it with that of the Homboldt farmer there is no question about its being a fair hold. But the best part of the Nebraskan is the fact that he is no exhibition wrestler. He is out to get his man from the drop ¢f the hat. xl- though some of the promoters have been trying to get this young glant to give more of an exhibition while in the ring, he will not listen to them and is out to win as quickly and as easily as he can.
