CINCINNATI BOARD
Of DIRECTORS FA|L.
TO RATIFY BIC DEAL
Refuse to Part With Serv-
ices of Joe Tinker for
S25, 5,000-Ebbetts
Indignant

Cincinnati, December i5-The board OF
directorstof the Cincinnati National base
ball club today refused to 1atify August
HIerrmann's sale of Joe Tinker to Brook
lyn for. $4,000. Immediately after this
decision was reached, President Herr
mann sent a telegram to President Eb-
belts of the Brooklyn club, telling him
that the deal +. so far as cash alone
was concerned, was off, but that an
other deal that would include Yingling
or Ragon or Moore and Stengel with a
cash consideration might be considered.
Hermann made a private agreement
with Ebbetts last week which allowed
Brooklyn to have Tinker for S25,tJ0 in
cash, with the understanding that the
Cincinnati club should give Tinker $4,000
for signing with Brooklyn's team.
New York, December i5.-Charles H..
Ebbetts OF the Brooklyn club, when in
formed of the new refusal of the board
of directors of the Cincinnati club to
ratify the sale of Joe Tinker. stated that
he considered Tinker already the property
OF the Brooklyn club
mo action of the directors of the Gin
cinnati club can rescind the sale of Tin
kef TO brooklyn EDDsltS salu, anu
consider Tinker as much member of the
club as Datllbert Wheat, Rucker or Rob
inson. The contract drawn UP between
Mr.. Herman and myself is just as bind
ing on one club as the other. Do you
suppose the Brooklyn club having agreed
to pay S25,000 for Tinker would be per-
mtted to backwater by the Cincinnati di-
rectors if decided after consideration
that the prsce was too steep?
Hermann, as president of the Gin
cinnati club, had the same right to make
the deal for his club as | did for Brook
lyn. Tinker is the property of the Brook
lyn club at this moment and If he de-
cides to play in 1914, will wear Brook
lyn uniform
Having announced Tinker's acquis-
ton TO Brooklyn fans. l do not propose
to be made a laughing stock of in the
baseball world"

ONE-YEAR RULE WILL
NOT AFFECT CHATT.

Chattanooga. December l5.-(SpecialD
The 'one year rule adopted by the
Southern intercollegiate Athletic associa-
ton will not affect the University of Chat
tanooga, which was admitted to MEM
bership at the same session. Under the
resolution only colleges having an enroll
ment greater than 400 students are af-
fecte1. This provision relieves the local
school of any liability.
1t is believed that entrance into the
Southern intercollegiate Athletic associa :
tion will greatly stimulate athletics at
Chattanooga and the prospects for 1914
are proclaimed to be the brightest in the
history of the institution. But one man
will pe lost from the football eleven, this
being Captain Harbour. while a raft OF
new material is expected, much of 1t
from the local prep schools.

Ann Arbor, Mich, December 15.-Mich-
igan has accepted Harvards invitation to
play a game of football at Cambridge
next fall and the contest will be staged
October 81. Harvard's suggestion that
the date be October 2i was met by
counter proposal that the game be played
on October 81. A telegram was received
today by the university athletic board
from Fred w. Moore, graduate treasurer
of Harvard, agreeing to the latter date.
The principal opposition encountered to
the plan at Ann Arbor was based on the
fact that it would give Michigan four
games in row away from home.

TROUSAND-DOLLAR
TROPHY IS OFFERED
TO MOST VALUABLE:
PLAYER NEXT YEAR
Will Be Awarded to Ball
Tosser of Most Value in
Southern During 1914.
Scribes Will Make
the Award

Atlanta, December 15.-(Special)
Formal offer was made to the Southern
league magnates today of Thousand
Dollar Trophy to be presented to the
player who is of the most value to his
trophy is given by Randolph Rose of
Chattanooga, and is in lieu of the three
medals of last year, combining their
entire value in the one award.
Owing to the unpleasantness which
marked the dosing of last years con-
tests for the three Misunderstanding
base running and pitching-it was de-
cided to place the 1914 contest on a
basis that practically precludes the
possibility of partisanship figuring In
the result. The decision was made after
letters asking opinions had been writ
ten to every manager in the league; the
greater number of them declared in
favor of the single medal.
The trophy will be awarded by a
commission consisting of one sporting
editor from each city in the leagGr,
very much as the Chalmers trophies
are given In the majors. Each member
of the commission will vote for eight
men. His first choice shall be allotted
points and so on, his eighth choice of
course being allowed one point The
eight selections of the eight members
of the commission will be compiled and
the player receiving the highest num-
Der of points will win the trophy.
Hurlers Not Handicapped
Some of the managers argued that
1t would be hard for the pitchers to get
into the contest with any great chance
of victory, and that separate medal
should be given to the moundmen. In
answer it was pointed out by others
that Walter Johnson won the American
league award this season. Furthermore,
had there been such trophy presented
in the Southern during the past four
seasons. Otto Hess would probably have
won 1t hands down in 1911. Harry Cove
leskie would have won it, or at least
had a close race with Joe Jackson in
1910, and the Pole probably would have
been a contender last season. BY simple
percentage process it can be seen that
the pitchers are just about as much in
the race as anyone else.
Playing managers are to be admit
ted to the contest, but they are to be
judged by their playing alone, and not
by their managerial ability. There are
no provisions made this year as to the
number of games a player must have
played in as the newspaper men would
hardly cast their votes for a man who
has not been in the thick of the fight
sufficiently often to figure decisively
in the fortunes of his team.
The trophy was formally accepted by
the league managnates. Announcement
of the membership of the commission
will be made after the holidays.

Solicitor Hill had perfect right
to decline to have Ex-Solicltor Otis
to assist him in the Coleman trial.
We see nothing unethical, inelegant
or even lacking in good breeding In
his refusal. He was asked by some
good citizens if it would be accepta
BILE to him to have Mr.. Otis assist
him. He said that while he and MIR.
Otis had maintained perfectly
friendly relation throughout the
campaign and were now upon frieno-
ly terms, he declined the proffereo
assistance. We most assuredly en-,
dorse his position. The very fact
that it was Solicitor Hills first court
and the first trial of notable import
ance in that court made it bad form
for over-zealous, albeit worthy, cit
izens to put it up to Solicitor Hill
to have Mr.. Otis assist him. Solicitor
Hill did exactly what he should hav.
done-declined with thanks.
And, by the way, we wish to COM
mend the earnestness and zeal of the
new solicitor. We did not support
him in the campaign. We voted and
worked for Mr.. Otis, his opponent.
That was our choice and we were
but exercising our right as a citizen.
But Mr.. Hill was chosen. We cheer
fully accepted the situation, and the
conduct of Mr.. Hill is vindicating
our saneness in so doing. Solicitor
Hill will make good, or we are much
mistaken in summing up the situa-
ton.
