Joe Tinker? What will Hermann
do with Frank Chance?
These three questions are the
big puzzles to the baseball public
today. Johnny Evers holds the
key to all three.
Saturday Murphy announced
he had let Chance go to the Reds
for the waiver price, 81, 500, and
it was expected the ex-Cub boss
would be put in charge of Garry
Herrmann's team. Today all of
that is changed.
Chance is still the property of
the Reds, but Hermann has an
nounced definitely that Tinker
will manage his team. Murphy
backed up this statement. The
details of the deal have not been
completed. They await the o. K.
of Manager Eyers. The Reds
who will come to the Cubs have
been named. It is known that
neither Bescher, Hoblitzel or
Marsans is among the lot.
If Tinker goes to the Cincin-,
natl team Chance will be in a pc
culiar position. He could not be
expected to play there. With a
first baseman like Hoblitzel there
is no place for him. Hermann
will probably ask waivers, and the
P. L. will get away from the Ma
tional League.
The whole transaction is a mys-
ferrous one, and full of angles that
are hard for the ordinary fan to
understand: When Chance was

Features of the program, not to be
overlooked, were the numbers con.
tributed by members of our faculty
The piano solo by Miss Chase, of the
Chase Conservatory, Columbus, Geor-
gia, evinced her skill in Interpretation
and execution. The readings given by
our expression teacher, Miss Phillips,
bespoke her capabilities, her thorough
training and ability to hold an audi
ence. The vocal solo by Miss Steph-
ems convinced her audience that she
is an artist in the true sense of the
term. The college is to be congrat.
ulated on having secured the services
of these gifted women.
Eighty-two boarding students were
enrolled the first day, the total enroll
ment being one hundred sixteen. More

Searching for flowers | strolled along

That knows me well, but all the glow
ing, spangling
Flower faces that | loved were gone,
all gone;
Just here and there a rose hip gleam-

Among the brown, bare branches;
And here and there gray, fuzzy cap
of a thistle;
Some tired little asters, sprawling in
the browning grass,
Discouraged, half drowned with a
cold, pelting rain,
Left far behind by Summer, when she
fled the field
Hurried by the torch that autumn
brandished
So recklessly among her naples.
