Joe Tinker, shortstop of the Chicago
Cubs, Thespian in the winter season
and until recently a prospective man
ager of the Cincinnati club, blames
Charles Murphy, president OF the
Cubs, for his failure to land the job as
leader of the Reds.
"Early in the season." says Tinker,
"a number of the stockholders of the
Cincinnati club approached me and
asked If / would consider taking the
management of the team.
II took the matter up with Frank
Chance, and we both went to see Muir
ply later. Both at that time seemed
willing to let me go, Murphy saying
that he realized that had given ten
of the best years of my life to his
club and that. he would not let any
thing stand in my way.
-'Soon after this 1 received another.
letter from Hermann. In which he
stated that l had better get busy on
the proposition right away, but every
time l approached Murphy about the
matter he stalled and said he would
see what could be done. Later his
tune changed, and he remarked that
it would be best to wait until the end
Of the season; then he would talk it
over with Garry.

O'Day. and | have lost chance to

Why Bore Holes Turn to the North.


Mining engineers have often been
puzzled over the fact that in most Of
the bore holes extending to depth APP
preaching a thousand feet marked
deviation was observed, usually direct
ed northward. 1t seemed impossible to
drive bore toward the center of the
earth and prevent 1t from shooting of
ut an angle toward the north pole or
Siberia. A possible explanation of this
remarkable phenomenon Is suggested
by ]. 8. Curtis in the Mining World.
In consequence of Its rotation in the
earth's magnetic field the shaft and
boring tool become strongly magnet
lied with the south pole pointing up
ward. The shaft being. very long, the
poles are not at the extremities, but
some distance from the same. The at
traction exerted by the earth's field
upon the north pole of the shaft, stu
Ated at the bottom. produces a curva-
lure of the shaft In such direction that
Its convexity Is directed toward the
south, and thus the boring tool re-
eeives an inclination, causing the bore
hole to deviate toward the north. This
deviation accommodates more and
more. In such cases as the deviation,
takes place in some other direction
than the usual one the fact is probably
attributable to the obliquity Of the
strata.

The Word aRoaus.r

The word bogus" is said by DR.. Ogil1
vie to be derived from Boghese, the
name Of notorious American swim
dler who about the year 1896 flooded
the western and southwestern states
with counterfeit bills. sham mortgages
and such like. Others connect the
word with "bogie," a scarecrow OF
goblin. and SO applied to anything ficI
titious or chimerical. Lowell in tho
"Biglow Papers says, II more thar
suspect the word to be corruption Of
the French bagasse." This bagasse'
was the sugar cane as delivered in it
dry. crushed state from the mill, called
also cane trash. and fit only for burn
ing, being thus synonymous with uses
less rubbish. Again, according ID
Brewer. there is in French argot, q
thieves slang, word. bogue. which
signifies the rind of green chestnu'
or the case of a watch, and this alsl
brings us to the idea of an outward
seeming without any solid and repN
utable foundation.

HaIpin to Head Olympic Team.

The American Olympic committee
could hardly have made a better
choice for manager of the 1919 Olym-
pic team which will represent the
United States in the worlds cham
pionships ut Stockholm, Sweden. next
spring than Matthew p. Halpin, the
New York Athletic club track captain.
Halpin's experience as a two time
manager of former Olympic teams,
both Of which came out successful, is
recommendation enough to qualify
him as the man to fill the bill. Ath-
letes are not easy persons to handle.
Especially true is this when there is a
crowd Of them. They need discipline
at times. Halpin has the practical
ability to handle such affairs.

What is to become of George Stovall?
Near the close of last season he was
hailed as one of the winning man
ayers" in the American league. He
pulled the Cleveland Maps from sixth
place to third In his two months as
manager. Now he is being overlooked
as managerial timber. All the Ameri-
can league clubs have secured man
ayers for 1912. There are several
clubs besides the White Sox that would
refuse to waive Stovall out of the
American league. With Larry Lajoie
shining as D first sacker and Harry
Davis managing Stovall isn't needed
at Cleveland. President Somers can't
shift his former manager to Toledo
without securing waivers, and no Ma,
tional league club could get him for
similar reason.
