served unconditional release.
Before definitely deciding to let
Chance go to the Reds, Murphy wait
ed to see whether Joe Tinker, Cub
sheftstop, could fix up a deal with
Hermann that would make the West
Side favorite leader of the Cincinnati
bunch. Shortly before noon, Saturday.

half hour, after which he dashed out
and left the building. i was reported
later that Murphy had told Joe to try
