Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 22—Joseph Tinker, former manager of the Chi- cago National League club, tonight arranged to purchase the franchise of the Columbus American Association team for himself and Thomas Wilson of Chicago. Thomas Wilson, president of Wilson & Company, a local packing concern, who, according to reports from Colum- bus, is interested with Joseph Tinker in the purchase of the Columbus American Association club, said to- night that he had received no inform- ation that the deal had been consum- mated. Mr. Wilson asserted that he sent a representative to Columbus with Tinker yesterday an dthat while he talked with him over the telephone tonigt, it not his understaading that the deal had been completed. ROOT AND MADDEN IN LEAD AT 118TH HOUR 2,182 Miles Has Been Covered in 118 Hours of Hard Riding. New York, Dec. 22.—More than 22 miles behind the record, the six leading teams in the six-day bicycle race had covered 2,182 miles and three laps &t 10 o'clock tonight, the 118th hour. Root and Madden were setting the pace after a series of sprints in three of which McNamara, had taken the hon- ors. Three of the teams were one lap be- hind the leaders and two other teams were still another lap in the rear. The record for the 118th hour is 2,304 miles and 9 laps, made by Verri and Hgg in 1914. There was no change in the rela- tive standing of the teams at midnight. The six leaders had covered 2,218 miles and five laps. De Baetes and Walthour were leading. The record for the 120 hour is 2,348 miles and two laps made by Moran and McNa- mara in 1914. At one p. m. the six leading teams had increased their score to 2,235 miles and 6 laps with Hill leading. Three teams were a lap behind and two teams two laps behind. The reccrd for this hour, the 121st, is 2,367 miles and 7 laps, made by Moran and Mc- Namara in 1914. RALLIES IN ACTIVE STOCKS Many lIssues Showed Full Recovery From Recent Reversal. New York, Dec. 22.—Rallies of from 8 to 10 points in active stocks, with 18 for Gulf States Steel and 26 for Bethlehem Steel, denoted the extent of today’s rebound of prices from the hysteria of the preceding se: n. At the high levels many stocks showed full recovery from their reversal of that memorable period and others registered actual gains -over final prices of the mid-week. Improvement began at the outset, overnight developments affecting the international situation ing a potent factor. The advance was impartially distributed among standard shares no less than speculative issues and the shorts covered with far more alacrity th? they had sold. Investment buy- Ingvof the character which waits for such opportunities as yesterday's market offered also helped by their steady buying to bring about a speedy readjustment. Realizing sales to effect quick prof- its and occasional but very cautious shoft selling caused reactions of one to three points before mid-day, but these were more than regained in the final hour, when the general averase of prices was highest. Total sales ag- gregated 1,775,000 shares, some 1,400,- 000 under yesterday’s almost unpre- cedented turnover, the difference, how- ever, being wholly in favor of the constructive side. U. S. Steel led the recovery in greater measure than it led vester- day’s decline. At the best quotation of the day—107 3-4—it made an ex- treme gain of 6 3-4 points on transac- tions amounting to about 470,000 shares. Allied stocks like Crucible, Lackawanna, and Sloss-Sheffield Steels and Republic Iron gained 5 to 7 points, the shipping division 8 to 13, equipments 5 to 10; Central Lea- ther 11 3-8, with 8 for American Hide and Leather preferred, an average of about six points for coppers and other metals, 5 to 12 for motors, 8 to 12 for oils, 6 for sugars and almost as much for American Woolen, General Elec- tric and various miscellaneous or un- clasified stocks. Rails of virtually all descriptions— dividend payers and low-priced issues —were higher by 2 to 4 points, the latter being in especial demand. International bonds made further gains, except Paris sites, which forfeit- ed some of yesterday’s advance. To- tal sales (par value) $4,150,000. U.

NAT. COMMISSION WIiLL & MEET AT CINCINNATI At Gathering Jan. 2 the Question of Draft Rule Will be Decided Upon. Cincinnati, Dec. 22.—It was announc- officially here tonight that the Nation- Baseball Commission would meet in this city on January 2, 1917. At this time the class AA draft question will be brought up by the minor leagues. The uniform players’ contract will be taken up and the election of officers will take place. s Inasmuch as numerous minor league matters are to come before the com- mittee at this meeting, Chairman Her- mann stated today that he anticipat- ed the largest gathering of baseball magnates from both major and minor leagues that has ever attended a na- tional commission meeting.

Mack hopes to be able to | skip soon after Christmas. “I'm mighty sorry,” said McGraw when disturbed at his labors yesterda: :“that all the critics are picking the Giants to gallop off: with the 1917 pen- nart. That is bad dope, for it carries a curse. There never was a team that shaped up better, to my mind’ as a real champion than the Giants of 1906. “We had just won two straignt pen- nants, and had just walloped the Ath- letics in the world’s -championship. Matty was in his prime; Joe McGin nity was at his best. We had a ve eran team apparently at the height of its power.

Several cogs of the Giant machine had worn out. 1 spent a year in rebuilding my fences. I thought last s, my club won seventeen straightl on the way. But I was mistaken. Later on we won twenty-six in games in a row, yve tfailed to improve our standing in the race. “I never lost faith in last year's club,” MvGraw went on, “till we had bee nmathematically counted out. I gave up in the last series at Brooklyn. No one can cohvince me that my club, especially as it finished the season, was not the very best in the National League last year. “We should be stronger starting out next time,” mused McGraw, “than we were at the finsh of the last campaign. back. material to try at Marlin. But to pre- dict a pennant for the Giants? Not me. I'm through with predictions. “At that I think 1 have best club in the league,” McGraw de- clared, emphatically. .“Certainly ] have by far the best outside the battery po- sitions. I have hopes that both my pitchers and catchers through 1917 will prove the equal of any opposition. If they do the race is in, for the de- more tham half the battle. Witnes: the success of the Boston Red Sox these lasttwo years.” McGraw was pinned down to a dis- seration on his battery strength. Excellent Pitcher. “No manager ever got better pitch- ing through the last few weeks of the season than myself last fall,” Mac ad- mitted. “But can I expect the veterans of my staff to start in next string where they left off last fall? Unusual- Iy provoking weather hampered “hem a year ago. But in the meantime we must rest, in a _measure out hopes in the abaliity of the most promising re- cruits. “Ferdie Schupp, our sensational southpaw, is the only kind of the yel- low southpaw, is the only kid of the veteran staff of pitchers. Benton, Sal- 3 | lee, Tesreau, Anderson and Perritt all need time and hot weather to show at their best. I fIam lucky enough to have one or two of the new men hit an early pace all will be well.”? Not in ten years has McGraw bet- ter provided with new pitching ma- terial. Bill Clymer, who has won more minor league pennants than an other man, declared McGraw, picked up in Jimmy Midleton the very best 1916 product of the brush. Middleton won a pennant for Louisville. He is a well put up young right hander, above av- erage size for his age and possessed of an exceptionally clever curve ball. 34 | Middleton is said to resemble Leon Ames in style. As a Giant Ames was a pitching classic in all save luck. Mac has another alleged ohenom in line in the person of Causey, with ‘Waco, of the Texas league, last sea- son. Causey is a southpaw. He won two-thirds of his games. Bill Ritter will be back again. He was a most promising right-hander, who was sent to Rochester last spring. There he in- jured his arm. He was transterred ‘o [ Schedule of exhibition and | should. assure far finer iraining re- Louisville under this handi-ap, “The same :thinghappened again in | three I have hopes of weaning Tillie Shafar | I have a lot of promising young | the | f52 fensive strength of the battery forces 's | 50¢ up.

Pie Way, the TYale pitcher, is going back to Marlin to buck fate. Sterling Stryker, a semi- professional _twirler from Atlantic Highlands, N. J., will get a triul Stryker is only nineteen, yst already stands above six feet. Witnin a cou ple of years he should be big e: thaa Jeff ‘Tesreau. McGraw laves big pitchers. There also is Waite Hoyt- The Brooklyn schoolboy unfortu- nately is in bad flavor at preseni. He is under suspension by the Hartford club. Hoyt is a minor, whos: fatner pledged a contract to the Glants in case the boy decided to play profes- sionally. Last season Hartforl was sc sorely beset for pitching talent that it begged mercy of MoGraw. Mac sent up Hoyt, with the understandng that the youth might be employed in ary capacity that did not entail his sig- nature to a contract. Unknown to New York *he lad was talked into signing with Hartford. So soon as the Giant management learn- ed of this it ordered Hoyt to leave Hartford. Suspension folloved. The case is now before the National Com- mission. It is almost a pasailel cf Sisler’s connection with the Pirates. The Sisler precedent should assure New York the services of Hoyt.

The later training schedule of the Yankees is well provided with games that should bring out all trat is gocd In the club. When Donovan breaks camp about the end of March he w tour northward with the Boston Braves. Plans have been made for a minimum_of eight such intcrieasue battles. Walter Hapzood. ot the Bos- ton office, who is south arranging this tour, has secured fine guarantces from Florence, S. Wilmington, N. and Fayetteville, N. C. e has wr ten Harry Sparrow that he could book twenty games as easily as eight wur ten. It is a question of picking and shoosing for Hapgood. » ‘When the Yankees finaliy arrive at home it will be to engage the Dsdgers in the customary spring series at Eb- bets Field. Wherefore from the time the team leaves Macon until the sea- son opens, Donovan’s boys ‘provided with high class g and break the monotony of camp lifc. Macun is somewhat isolated so far as available minor league opposition goes. The Pirates will relieve this handicap. There is a possibilisy that the Yan- kees may have worthy ncighbors at Athens, Ga., who ‘would be willing to exchange compliments. O. H. Wathen, presideht of the Louisvifle club, may take Bill Clymer and his men to the old Yankee stamping ground. T.ouis- ville won the American -Association pennant last season. On behalf »f his team Clymer challenged tlie Red Sox to a post-season baitle after Boston had licked the Dodgers. Clymer bas a club good enough o wmake any of them step.
