FROM>REDS FOR TINKER

NEW YORK, Dec. 5,-Manager
John j. Evers, of the Chicago club,

for the transfer of Joe Tinker by the
Cubs to the Cincinnati Reds had
been resumed, although President
Hermann, of the Reds, and Owner

clash here on Thanksgiving day, dur
ing which, Murphy was accused of
breaking a verbal agreement.

off the agreement made by Murphy

PAPKE WINS FROM
FRENCHMEN'S HOPE

s PARIS, Dec. Billy Papke, the
American fighter. last night defeated
George Bernard, a French middle
weight. for the middleweight cham
pionship, big purse and an ivory
belt, especially designed for the oc-
casion. Papke was awarded the de-
cision in the seventh round, when
the Frenchman was unable to re-
spond to the call of time.
Bernard, who was announced as
Frances last hope" never had a
chance. In the first five rounds
Papke allowed Bernard to do all the
work, but the Frenchman was un-
able to do any appreciable harm.
In the sixth Papke began to fight
in earnest. The Frenchman went to
the floor twice. just managing to
struggle to his feet within the ten
seconds. but he was in such state
of collapse that when the seventh
round was called he could not leave
his chair, and the referee counted
him out.

GARDEN CROWD IS DEEPLY
DISAPPOINTED BY THE BOUT
BETWEEN MIKE And EDDIE
Waves of Kisses at Times Greet Fighters
Who Show Anything but the Form Ex-
pected of Them on Past Performances.

there was no Mike in front to receive
it, so nimble was Gibbons waltzing
away. Once he caught Gibbons by
the neck and tried to hit him, but,
after starting the blow half way. de-
cided it wouldn't be worth the effort.
Then his head was pushed back by a
jab.
Swap Punches in the Fifth.
They did swap punches for a few
seconds in the fifth round, but Glib
bons decided not to stand for any
more possibilities of a wild blow and
gracefully stepped aside for Eddie
to miss. McGoorty was able to land a
light jab and chuckled at his success
of even laying his glove on Gibbons.
Then he became brave and put some
power behind an uppercut, which did
not land. The gallery then took to
Kissing because they did not appear
effective in their workout
They once more exchanged wallops
for few seconds at the opening of
the sixth. Mike would slide in and tap
Eddie and as smoothly slide back
McGoorty thought it about time to
rough 1t with his compatriot, and for
a time it seemed as though real fight
ing was yet in sight, but Gibbons
started to jab and McGoorty decided
1t time to let up.
Eddie moved Mike into a corner in
the seventh and forced the fighting.
Mike released his right at this point
and the blow appeared to have good
force behind 1t. There came another
lull, but again they started to box
fast and something like real fighting
was in evidence for the last minute
of the round
Gibbons Jabs Again.
Gibbons started to jab Eddie on the
nose in the next. McGoorty swung in
vain and was tapped on the nose for
making Mike move fast to get away,
and Eddie slapped him on the ear.
When Gibbons was pressed against
the ropes he took hold of it with one
hand and feinted McGoorty with the
other till he reached a position of
safety.
There was some effort in the ninth
round to do some fighting and what
blows were landed were nicely placed,
particularly by Gibbons, and when
the referee was parting them Eddie
tried to get to Mike with a swing.
They spared some more and Gibbons
ducked when McGoorty was leading
himself to believe he had him rightly
sized up, only to be disappointed The
same was his portion in the tenth.
In the last two rounds McGoorty did
the major portion of the work.
