He was a smart player; boy, but he had| brains! Tinker was a smooth worker in the field, a good hitter then, and a sweet runner and thrower. He didn't run so fa seemed to bounce over the ground He was drafted by the C hiacgo Cubs that fall and the Portland club got on! 00 for him. I recommended him to President Hart of the Cubs, and he put in a bid for him. Tinker always cae plenty of nerve, and, altho he never was a hard hitter, always there in the Siiches, His Dugdale claim to batting fame, I believe, was his hit- ting against the great Christy Mathewson, Tinker was the only hitter who had Mathewson's goat roped and tied. he was greatest Tinker Joe McGinnity, was never a howling success as a manager because he tried to play the game too much bench.
