 CINCINNATI TEAM NEXT SEASON Deal Off Because Murphy Insisted Upon Getfl1g Bescher in Trade

Cincinnati, Nov. s-Joe Tinker. shortstop Of the Cubs will not pilot the Cincinnati Redlegs in 1913. The deal whereby it was thought Tinker would be brought here to manage the Reds was called off yesterday after a conference between President Murphy of the Chicago club and President Hermann of the Reds. As result Hermann has filed claims for Frank Chance, former Cub manager, and Roger Bresnahan, former Cardinal
 Murphy wanted too much in ex- change for his shortstop. He insisted that Bob Rescher, Cincinnatis crack left fielder, should figure in the Tinker deal. But Hermann coulds not see this and absolutely refused to consider any deal involving Bescher.
 Murphy came to Cincinnati to close the deal if possible. Hermann made several propositions involving players during long conference with the Cub president but none of them was ac- ceptable to Murphy. After the confer ence Murphy said:

OFFERS CHANGE
 BIG SALARY TO
 MANAGE YANKEES
HARRY DAVIS. FORMER CLEVE- LAND PILOT, ALSO CONSID- ERRED BY NEW YORK
 AMERICANS.

Chicago, Nov. SlThe receipt of the news from New York that Harry Vol of the Highlanders brought forth the Information that Frank Chance had been offered a five-year contract to lean League Club a t the highest sal aEy ever paid a baseball official
 1t was stated positively that Chance prior to his departure for the West was in receipt of a most flattering of- fer from President Farrell which he was unable to take advantage of ow- ing to his inability to secure his re- lease from the local National League club
 Farrell's proposition was five-year contract at s1s,500 per year and 5 per cent Of the net receipts of the team. The Yankee owner in making the of Ter stated that he would turn the club over to Chance and let him run it as he saw fit, without interfering in the slightest way. even as far as offering a suggestion of any kind.
 The offer was kept secret at the time 1t was made, as Chance believed that he would be able to secure an un- conditional release from the Cubs if Murphy were under the impression that he would be unable to land any kind Of a job from another big league
 Chances hopes of getting away from Chicago are now blasted
 Philadelphia, Nov. s-There is a movement on foot here to have Frank Farrell consider the advisabi1ity of signing Harry Davis to manage the New York Highianders. Those who are interested in the movement are smid to have communicated with Far reH at the Worlds Series their sug- Esations along these lines. and Farrell s$reported to have told them he would consider the matter, but that he would not make any selection until the time for the annual meeting of the Ameri- cam League, next month.
 Tn the meantime it is said Davis reeently went to New York to see Farrell. Davis went over the ground with the New York owner and gave his ideas on what should be done to make the Highlanders factor in the race. While nothing was decided upon, it is said Farrell was impressed with the fact that he might name Dayie and not regret it.
 Directors of the Athletics, and. par tfcuIar1y President Shibe. are friendly with Farrell This, together with the fact that Ban Johnson and Farrell are also very close and that Johnson is anxious to land Davis in a good berth lends color to the suggestion that Da-4 vfs Is being strongly backed in his ap-1 p1tcation for Wolverton's position.

JOHNNY LORE WINS
 FROM YOUNG REILLY

Johnny Lore won hard-earned ten- round victory over Young Reilly at York, last night. It was a siugging bee from bell to bell. Neither man would take back step and they fought viciously throughout the bout. The Marquis of Queensberry viewed the bouts from a. bleacher seat.
 Lore came close to winning with a knockout in both the second and again in the eighth rounds. In both of these sections he managed to land soIfdIy on Reilly's iron jaw, but Reilly was there at the finish, and had he been as aggressive as Johnny he would Lore was at his best last night.
