.AD WOlGAST NOT TO Met
NELSON UNTIL MKT MARCH

The proposed battle for the light

Is still weak and he does not care TO
take chances with it. Jim Griffin OF
the Broadway club in san Francisco
has wired Jones a fiat offer of $4,000

JOE TINKER SAYS tVERS
WON'T PLAY NEXT SEASON

Chicago, Nov. 14.-That Joe Tin
ker has some inside dope on the make
up of the Cub machine for next sea
son Is the belief of a number of base
Dall critics about the city. According
to these same critics, Tinker has a
hunch that Johnny Evers will not play
second base in 1911, and this hunch ex-
plains Joe's announcement made inn
mediately after the worlds series,
that he would not perform at short
stop. but instead, join the recruits af-
ter the honor of guarding the third
cushion.
This announcement of Joe's was not
made To satisfy one of those myster-
ious whims To which many stars fall
heir after the mantle of greatness is
draped about their shoulders. The
critics are of the opinion that Tinker
was prompted by tact in declining to
shortstop longer,
I The wonderful team play of Tinker
and EVers around the keystone sack
was largely responsible for the effect
ivcness of the great Cub defensive ma
chine in seasons past. Both lightning
thinkers and wizards at pulling off the
/ unexpected and sensational these two
stars have been universally accepted
as the greatest combination of brains
and speed on the diamond.
| That the work of one would not be
as startling without the aid of the
, other is also an accepted fact. And
Tinker realizes this better than any
one else. With Evers out of the 1910
worlds series and Zimmerman sub
stituted i'm his stead, there was not the
remarkable play of the Cub machine
before Evers was injured. on two oc-
casions Philadelphia base stealers got
away with the larceny stunt because
Tinker and Zimmerman failed to work
| together and the sack was left un-
guarded.
Should such be the case next season
and Evers be unable to play because
of his weak ankle. Tinker's greatness
a a shortstop would suffer. Each
J player is indispensable to the other
and il would take seasons cam
paigning at least to develop thinner
man, even with his wonderful natural
abality, to rival Evers in quick think
ing and pulling off the unexpected.
According to an intimate friend of
Tinker's, this is the reason that Joe
announced he would shortstop no more.
At third corner he figures that he
could star without the aid of a player
equally as brilliant as himself. For.
with the possibility that Evers will be
not relish the idea of playing his own
role and drilling an understudy to the
Trojan, while his fame suffers as a
consequence.

One of the most important baseball
meetings to be held this year will be
pulled off at the Auditorium i'm Chica-
go this week, when the directors of
the National Baseball association will
gather. The organization takes in
every minor league in the country,
and some strenuous legislation is eX-
pected. Representatives from every
portion of the country will be present
and il goes without saying that every
league with the exception Of the Ma
tional and American will be represent
ed.
one of the very important questions
that will be discussed will be the re-
classification of the various leagues
and there are likely TO be some big
changes. The old classification was
made on the population from which
the various cities had to draw and
many bogus estimates were given. The
directors of the association now have
AT their command The national census,
which will be used in making the new
classihcations.
The meeting will open at noon to-
morrow and continue the following
