FEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. 25.-Joe
M Tinker is hereby officially rec
l. oSnixed the goat" Of Cincinnati
baseball writers. His contract as man
ager Of the Reds has been received at
National league headquarters. With the
hustling shOrtstop in command of his
Rhinelanders, August Hermann will
have no further need to keep Frank
Chance upon his reserve list, other than
to protect the monetary consideration
which the Peerless Leader" stands
him.
Chance was claimed by Hermann
from c. W. Murphy at the old waiver
price of $500. When it became an
assured matter that Tinker W0uld re-
vert TO Cincinnati, August Hermann
gave his permission to Frank Farrell
and to Ban johnson TO treat with the
Peerless Leader" in connection with
his managing the Highlanders. The
story from Cincinnati that Hermann
had not waived on 'Husk' is quite true.
But in retaining him the Cincinnati
promoter did Mr.. Farrell a favor and
not an injury
Frank Chance represents At least
$500 of Mr.. Herrmann's good money.
Were the owner of the Reds TO waive
just now Chance would be a free agent.
He could treat with some rival National
league club or he could buy and man
age any minor league club e he felt
