TINKER DEAL IS
POINTED TO WITH
DISGUST BY FANS
Likely to Remain at Old
Stand With Chicago
Cubs.

CHICAGO. Nov. 23.-The tinker
DEAL Is likely to 60 down In baseball
history as one OF the cases which every.
one will point to In disgust. Instead Of
clearing up and getting out Of the way
the deal Is beginning to mildew with
nge and people already are tired Of list
ening to the oft-repeated excuses why
the trade has not been made.
:. Al the present writing It looks as Y

Well protected IN that position because
he now has the right to negotiate with
Frank Chance to Ill the Vacancy.
1t was a wise move for Hermann
when he refused to waive claim to
a time when he was very much in need
Of protection. Although 1t may cost q
lot OF money for the Cincinnati club to
get Chance to act az manager next
season. there Ii no question that the

right kind. In the meantime Tinker

will not get away from Evers. for whom

Evers Is not blamed for tho slow &C.

SERIES
FOR REGATTA
" -
K. week !. "
sTs ii
AAAA =

= Prospects are bright for an inter.
island baseball series between Kauai.
Maui and Oahu, to be played In this
city regatta week. Hawaii has not
Gomes to any agreement regarding the
series to date, and 1t is by no means
certain whether or not the Big ISL
and players viii come down here.
The present plan. which meets
with the approval Of the Maui and
Kauai league teams, is that each OF
the islands send down picked team,
which would play one game against
every team OF the Oahu Senior
League, and probably one Kauai
Maui game. This makes eleven games
for the series, or six double headers,
provided an extra ean1e Of some SOFT
is arranged to round out the sched-
ule. =. ~ ~z<-.
4 1T looks as though this schelne
would go through all right" said Man
ager Marcallino of the Oahu League
this morning. "Hilo stands out for
three games on Kauai, three on Oahu,
three on Maui and three at home, to
be played between picked teams from
each island, and while this would Ger.
tainly make a pretty schedule, 1t
would take too long to play.off. and
the local boys couldn't possibly
spare the time" =. d III.
Tomorrow at Athletic. Park the,
league will play of the games which
we're postponed from last Sunday ow-
ing to the death of the Japanese EN-
peror. The Portuguese are scheduled
to go against the Hawaiis in the first,
game, while the Stars and A. A. C.s
meet in the closer. The Asahis get
a lay-off this week.

DOUBLES
START next
!.
MONDAY

The mems doubles of the Hawaiian
lawn tennis championships will start
Monday afternoon on the Beretania
courts. This was decided by the com.
mittee this morning, when 1t was def
nitely learned that the tournament
with Maui was postponed Entries for
the doubles will close at 10 O'Clock
tomorrow morning, the list being now
open at e. o. Hall & Son.
Already there are eight teams en-
tered, including the best tennis talent
in the Islands. The postponement of
the doubles until two weeks after the
singles event has given the Eva play
ers an opportunity to compete, and at
least two teams OF plantation players
will be on hand To try coneiusfOHs
with the Honolulu and visiting ex-
perts. This viii add considerable in
terest to the tournament, and is
pleasing result Of the posttonement.
All matches Of the doubles will be
three out OF five sets. This will give
considerably more tennis to each
match, and should prove popular with
the players. <..ss,5. -. .@.,' -.
The three star special Of the coming
tennis week will, 1t is hoped, be a
match game between Anterior Rich
ards, the new Hawaiian champion, and
William Eklufld, who recently won
the Eva tournament Eklund has
come along fast this season, and his
plantation friends and admirers are
very anxious to have him try conclu-
sions with Richards in an exhibition
match, as he was unable to enter the
regular tournament Richards is more
than willing to face the Eva lad
across the net, and it only remains for
rklund to COME forward and arrange
a day and time for play.
In spite of the fact that Richards
put out A. L. Castle in the finals OF
the championship with. comparative
ease, several good Judges of tennis
who have seen Eklund. play lately
believe that the latter would have g.

ing If a postponement would be
acceptable to the locals, and an
answer in the affirmative will be
sent -. % .. .s-f
This arrangement Is generally
satisfactory, as the celebration

VANGUARD ON PITCHING.

pitching is. like making love; ev'
erybody does 1t differently" says
Rube MRrquard.
Pitchers have their freak curves
there's the spit ball, fade-away and
others-and they are all right, but the
foundation of all good pitching lies in
control and change of pace. A pitch
er who hasn't these two things, es-
pecially the first, is no good, no mat
ter how many queer jumps he can put
on the ball.
Change of pace is necessary be-
cause if you always pitch at the same
rate batters soon learn to time the
ball and hit it. A pitcher has to use
fast ones and slow ones, and use the
same motion with every ball or bat
tiers will be able to tell when the fast
one is coming or when the slow one
will be dished up"
