The ill-fated Printers have yet to win
in the Section b games and may vir-
tually be declared out of the running.
To date four games have been played
and lost, the Printers asking to be
allowed to piay out their schSdule early
to allow the team to take the trip to
Boston for the annual printers baseball
carnival. To weakness in the box has
been attributed the Printers downfall.
Weaver. their star twirler, has been
forced to do practically all of the work
during the season and, while he has
pitched good ball. the strata has been
too much for him.
The opening game IN the Section
series resulted IN a tie score yester-
day, Southern and Park falling to get
ahead in eight innings. Park mad the
game wei: in hand up to the final round,
when the RailroSd Y. NJ. .. A. cham
pions broke through for a run. Oddly
enough. the two teams are looked upon
as being evenly balanced, and an extra
game is looked for after the schedule
is finished.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Joe Tinker.
in explaining why he will not play
another season with the Chicago
Cubs, says that he cannot get along
with Manager John Evers or Owner
Charles w. Murphy. Tinker, how
ever, has a much stronger eason for
declaring vehemently that he will
manage the Cincinnati Reds or re-
tire from professional baseball.
He can draw from August Herr
mann just twice as much salary next
season as the Chicago Club paid him
this year. Tinker received close to
$4,000 from Murphy for the fulfillment
of his 1912 contract. calling for his
services as a s%hortstop. AS manager
of the Cincinnati Reds, Tinker can
have $4,000 and be his w boss.
In spite of the fact that they are
enemies off the field, Evers suddenly
has decided that he cannot let Tinker
out of the Cubs infield. and thereby
hangs a tale. I1vers believed he could
fix up a deal with Miller Higgins, the
new manager of the st. Louis Car
dinals, for the services of Shortstop
Hauser, who is one of the best. But
Higgins, when the subject was
preached, turned pale and almost col

lapsed. Unable to get Hauser, there
fore, and suddenly hearing that Cor
ridon, of the Detroits, wasn't believed
to be much by Hugh Jennings and Ty
Cobb, Murphy was prompted by
Evers to call off the Tinker deal, after
the terms had been agreed upon last
Wednesday night.
AS a matter of fact, baseball men
say that Murphy and Evers made a
foolish move, for the reason that
Tinker means what he says. and that
Hermann will meyer make such a
golden offer again. Hermann agreed
to pay $4,000 cash to the Detroit Club
for the release of Corridon-the price
Detroit paid Kansas City-and to re-
lease OutfieldeH Mitchell and Infielder
Phelan, whose release today couldn't
be purchased for less than $1,000 each.
In addition. Hermann agreed to
pay Tinker $500 for next season
all to get a winning team in Porkville.
1t is understood that Murphy would
have made the deal if Hermann had
included Knisely at an additional out
lay of 81, 400 to the Dayton Club. With
the deal off, the question in Cincin-
natl just now IS: would Tinker
make good with no experience as q
manager?"

Gle and sinew. There isn't an ounce
of fat on him.
1t was of Roosevelt, his pet pupil,
that Mike Donovan said: Hes a
great in-fighter. He likes to get close
and punch"
Young Mike shines at in or out
fighting. He knows every trick of
the game. His speed is b%ewildering.
He punches with deadly precision and
has a knockout In either hand, some
thing rare despite the claims of press
agents. He has courage and conf
dence, and his father plans to carry
him along slowly, until he gets the
experience to meet the top notch
middleweights upon their own
ground.
Il trained him as an athlete, never
thinking he'd want to fight" said
Mike, ST., with a shake of his head,
but I guess it's in the blood. The
Donovans are all fighters. The boy

neither drinks nor uses tobacco, and
he is clean and straight"
Mike, jr., is as likable a chap as
you want to meet. He is bashful al
most to shynesss. His father is his
pal. but when not helping at the New
York Athletic Club gymnasium, he
is to be found at home helping his
mother about the house.
I'm glad dad let me fight. If I'm
half as good as he vas Ill be salts

And If he is half the fighter his
game cock dad was Mike, jr., will be
better than half the pugs getting by

Jennings Does Not
Believe i'm DiUiSiOn of Coin

Manager Hughey Jennings, of the
Detroit Tigers, who is playing in
Proctor's Theatre this week, has fall
en- in line with several other league
managers who do not favor the
scheme of President Garry Herr
mann, Of. the Cincinnati club, who
favors letting in all the players of
both the American and National
leagues on the receipts of the world
>series-that is, of the players end of
the money.
Here is the way Jennings expresses
his views: 1.-THE present plan is good
enough. A manager has something
to point forward to when he wants
his players to get in and battle for
honors during a long season.
when a team is fighting for the
championship it is a nice incentive
for the boys to consider that when
the league season is over they might
have a chance to share in the pro-

GIRL IN COMA SINGS TO

This is pretty good, but Dunn says
he has only started.
Styles change. This is true among
fighters the same as any other sore
of people. Back in the days Of
Fitzsimmons and Corbett, and ever
in the days of Sullivan, the gag was
to have two fighters, matched to
battle, meet on the street and insult
one another, try to get at one an
other and furnish a scene" good for
a bunch of publicity.
Now how different When two
fighters, matched for battle, happen
to meet in the street they shake
hands with each other, smile sweetly,
discuss the weather. perhaps remark
on the beauties of the landscape,
shake hands again and then pass on
their several ways in peace.
Now that Frank Gotch has retired
from the wrestling game for good.
the question arises: Who will succeed
him as the worlds champion? Two
candidates are in the field for the
honor. Zbyszko, the Polish champion.
and Hackenschmidt, the Russian. OF
the two, Zbyszko looks the better just
now. The Russian made a great i'm
preston with everybody until he met
Gotch. Since her he has not received
very serious attention. He may be
one of the worlds best, but he looks
considerably smaller by the side Of
Gotch than does the Pole.
Those who saw Willie Hoppe play
in the recent billiard tournament in
New York are agreed hat he stand
at the head of billiard experts for
many years to come. He is still 4
young man, has nerves of steel and a
temperament peculiarly fitted to the
game he plays.
After remaining a bachelor for sew
enty-six years of his life, Henry
Schmulblach, brewer. turfman, owner
of Badly McGregor and other grand
circuit horses, has married. A few
nights g he led to the altar Miss
Pauline Bertchly. as. whose wedding
gift was $780, 900 in cash.
National League critics agree that
if Roger Bresnahan, formerly with
the st. Louis Cardinals, is secured
by Pittsburgh next season that team
will be a favorite for pennant hon
ors in 1918. Bresnahan's name has
been seriously mentioned for the Pr
rates. His acquisition would give the
team a great catcher and a clever
man to handle the corps of young
pietchers who will be with the Pi-
rates. Bresnahan did not catch much
during the past season, but he GER
tainly a deliver the goods.

Boxing. like h%istrionic ability, runs
in families, SO it is no wonder that
Mike Donovan, jr., is creating a
furore in the ranks of "the fancy
by his sensational ring work.
For Mike Donovan. jr, is the off,
spring of Mike Donovan, ST., middle
weight champion of the world in the
days when men won and lost titles
with the bare 'uns. For fourteen
years he met the best in the ring, and
for thirty years he has turned out
pupils as a boxing instructor.
Mike, jr., has just turned 81, the
best instructed boxer in the world.
For twelve years the boy absorbed
knowledge from his parent. From s
to 30 he boxed daily, following the in
clination bred in his bone.
And when he was n his father
asked him to become a policeman.
Being a dutiful son. he took the ex-
animation as an applicant for a
policeman's position in New York.
And his ambition was to be a boxer.
Soon after taking the examination
Mike. jr., was told by a family friend
that his father had consented to his
taking part in a bout. Mike, sr., was
in Boston at the time, and when he
returned to New York he heard glow
ing reports of his boys debut.
Enthusiasts poured in or the old
