—- TOMMY MURPHY AIMS TITLE Reds May Trade Tinker For Catcher Bresnahan And Corridon of Cubs Joe Has Wired to Every Magnate That He Won’t Agree to Play for Any Club Other Than Pittsburg or Chicago, Thereby Put- ting Dodgers Out of the Running for Star Shortstop. By Bozeman Bulger. N view of the fact that one Joseph Tinker {9 rather partioular aa to wheng he goes, the National League Magnates had to adjourn without fur- nighing the former Red manager with @ permafemt address, To set all minds @t rest, Mr. Tinker wired from Chicago te each and every magnate, ts way of warning, that he would omt ev acnt to delng traded to any city other than Cetcago or Pittsburgh. All of which @ave C. Holiday Pbbets a feeling of considerable relief concerning that $30,000 @ffered to Garry Herrman. With no ohance of Garry taking it, the Brook- tym owner went straight home and had & good night's rest for the first time etace the big bank rofl hung im the balance. The fact that Tinker desires to piny in Chicago makes possible a deal which has been under consideration for twenty- four hours and which appears to be the only logical solution of the Tinker tangle, The Rede need a manager and @ catcher, The Cubs need Tinker. Now, figure it out for yourself. Bresnahan, you know, fe with the Cubs, and is both & manage rand @ catcher. The od wise- aores of the league appear to think that the proper move, Before taking Brae- meahan the Reds also need a shortstop and could use Corridon very handily. If Tinker went back to the Cubs Corridon Would not be needed in Chicago, There- fore, a trade of Bresnahan and Corridon for Tinker sounds like a reasonable, common sense proposition. Everybody would be eatisied, even to Tinker, whose home ts in Cubdland. Mr. Herrman admitted last night that he was considering such a proposition, but would not admit that the deal had @ot past chat stage. Just as the Red owner was about to retire for the night Charley Herzog cornered him and the door was closed to meddlers, The can- teloupe grower is very ambitious to be- come a manager an dhas the permis- sion of Harry Hempstead to go as far he likes in the way of flirting with the Reds. Unfortunately, the Reds, so far, have refused to flirt, but Charley i@ sticking around In the hope of getting @ emile. In the mean tine the National League meeting is a thing of the past, and, as George Stallings aptly remarked, ran true to form b; winding up without a trade of any consequence having been made. “I never knew of a trade worth talking adout being made at a meeting,” declares the Brave leader, and that just about cov- e case. All of yesterday was spent tn chang- tng the constitution, but, after all, a @onstitution doesn't amount to much emong friends, and as to what happened We need not worry. When the final gong sounded Gov. Tener gave an In- formal dinset to the club owners and Garr Herrams, followed {t up with an- other downstairs, To-da the left-over magnates will do a little Christmas shopping, and when that done bunl- ness In the elty will resume its normal trend. ‘There is going to be another National Teague meeting here in February, but, with the holiday spirit In front of us, there In no use borrowing trouble.

This change in the control of the Nor- folk race track promises to materially affect the statue of racing in Virginia, Every aince Levy took over the man- foment of the track 4 has been oper- ated on the open-betting-ring aystem— any bookmaker in good standing could ¢raw in for @ position and take a chance for @ business with his peigh- dor. Smith and Perry, if they follow alone the lines of the!r previous mode of business, will undoubtedly make it a syndicate ring, A syndicate ring, in the parlance of the race track, means that eight or ten men offer prices in the ring under the names of different books, bot all are under the direct control of one man and are financed by him, Some years ago Smith and Perry had control of the betting ring af the Ham- and sald report disturbed the popular old third baseman no little, As a mat- ter of fact, Deviin is a very live man- ager, and to prove it he displayed a telegram from the owners authorising him to use his own judgment and make any trades that he saw fit. Arthur saya he will also do a littie third basing according to the way he thihka the job should be handled, And it can- not, be denied that Arthur knows, Among the late visitors to the meeting was Fred Tenney, a well known shoe manufacturer oj Massachusetts, who appeared te have quite an ertonded acquaint. ance among both magnates and players. Fred said he came by to sce if he could get the contract for furnishing the gumshoes to the 1@ gnates to be used in the Anal disposition of Joe Tinker. One of the scouts, who begged that his name be not mentioned, announced As the crowd was breaking up that he had decided to quit drinking, “Good idea, all right!” remarked Capt. brig “but how came you to think roy "Well," he replied) “I was around for three hours last night looking over New York, and every time I approached & flock of folks I flushed them.” Needlens to say, the scout haa been a bird hunter, _ Heinle Groh has decited to go back home and get ready to play with the Reds. After staying around two days the ttle inflelder decided there was no chartce of escape from Cincinnati. Aa long as the league inalsts on it he guesses he will have to go ahead and enter the 8: perbas in the 1914 ri stop. “I think I could run some of them a race with eight men, at that,” he says, George Stallings was 4 long walk with Gov. T. thirty minutes of conversation about things in general the Brave ma jWas still puzzied to know what wy coming off or what he had done. | Just as they sked to take r, and after returned to the tote! the Governor asked him: “George, have yon {seen umpires that looked good to jyon in the National La * before sald Stallings, “And av you know, that puts me in a positi: where 1 can't kick all next season?

Smith and Perry were anxious to operate @ “field book,” but objection was raised to It by the other book- makers, who paid the inrgs tax of $25 a Tace—a sum far In ex: that charged by the race in New York whon ‘an open betting ring was permitted—and they thought that they w titled to handle every dollar that was bet on the track, Sweet harmony did not prevail among the stockholders of the Jamestown track during the fall meeting.
