S|x-DAY CYCLE RIDERS
GET THEIR PRIZE MONEY J!
Bonuses and Winnings Mount Up
to About $26, 900 for
the Race.

NEW YORK, December 16.-A good
round sum was paid to the riders who
competed in the international six-day race
at Madison Square Garden last week
The riders gathered at the office Of Pat
Powers, in the Flatiron building, and
received their checks yesterday after
noon. and declared that for the same
consideration they would start right In
riding the race all over again. 1t is
estimated that almost $4,000 was paid
out in prizes and bonuses. OF this sun,
$3.50 was paid to the first eight teams
to finish
Alfred Goullett and Joe FogIer. the

Larry Lajoie. who has been in ma jor
league base ball for eighteen consecu-
tive years, has written an article in
which he answers the question OF who
is the greatest pitcher he has ever faced -
After naming over all the stars of the
old National League, some fifteen in
number, and all the great twirlers of the
American League, against whom he has
batted since the organization was formed,
he names Walter johnson as the greatest
of all twirlers. He admits that he has
never batted against Christy Mathewson,
but he has seen him work, and he says
that he would prefer to bat against him
than Johnson any time.
The game has never developed a better
hitter than Lajoie, and he is today the
most experienced batter in base ball for
the reason that he has been identified
with both major leagues and has faced
all the great pitchers of the past and
present, Mathewson being the only ex-
ception. He is. therefore, Well qualified
to express an opinion on how the pitch
ers rank, and it is indeed a compliment

Thus the Of-Again Murphy Battle Is
On Again.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 1G-The
lightweight championship battle between
Willie Richie and Harlem Tommy MUIR

suit of a long conference yesterday aft
erroon between the promoter Jimmie
Coffroth Jim Buckley, for Murphy, and
Harry Foley, representing Ritchie. Both
the lighters also were present and had a
good deal to say.
The same conditions which governed
the interrupted fight will prevail. The
men will weigh i'll at 135 pounds one
hour before the fight. Richie will re-
ceive $1,000 as his share. while Cot

over the money end, Buckley hanging out
for giving Richie only % per cent of
the gross receipts. Richie, however,
held that as champion he should have
the option of a lump sum, and as Muir
ply was very eager for the fight he
agreed to the hard terms.
In case of rain the fight will take place

PITTSBURGH, Pa, December 16.-The

was ''sore" and might jump to the Fed
eral League is classed as the veriest
bunk by President Barney Dreyfuss Of

"konetchy will play for Pittsburgh,
said Mr.. Dreyfuss. II am as certain of
this as am that / am alive. Before we
made the deal with Messrs Britton and
Higgins We were sure Of our ground.
We knew that Konetchy wanted to play
in Pittsburgh, and that there will be no
trouble over salary matters
Mr.. Dreyfuss was asked concerning the
report that the Big Train" was paid at
the rate of $3.50 last season.
THE question Of salary Is one that con-
Germs only the player and the club own
err" was the reply. II will say, however,
that when the time comes settlement
Will be effected without trouble.
Concerning the report that konetchy
was flirting with the Federal League, Mr..
Dreyfuss would say nothing other than
that he didn't believe this was so.
Had il not been for the fact that New
York would undoubtedly have secured
Konetchy had Pittsburgh refused to trade
for him the chances are that. Manager
Clarke would have given fewer players in
exchange for the trio he received from
st. Louis. The Giants were hot after the
big. Bohemian, and Clarke knew this. Sec

club was dickering with Manager Hug
gins during the National League meeting,
and an attractive offer had been made.
Honey would about round out the Giants

enough to take down their fourth sue

This knowledge is what made Clarke
hesitate when about to call the deal on.
He realized that il Konetchy went to
the Polo Grounders the latter would be
all the more formidable next season.
They will be hard to beat as they are.
and Fred decided not to do anything
that would help them on their way.
Hence he came to terms with the ST.
Louis people, even though not alto

The Pittsburgh manager voiced no re-

REDS CAN'T CRAWL ON DEAL
FOR TINKER, DECLARES EBBETS
Brooklyn Magnae Scouts the Idea That Contract for
Shortstop Can Be Repudiated by Gin
cinnati Directors.

NEW YORK, December 16-Charles H.
Ebbets and the McKeever brothers. his
associates in the ownership Of the Brook
lyn Superbas, are lighting mad over the
EFFORT made yesterday by the directors Of
the Cincinnati club to repudiate the sale
of Joe Tinker for $4,000
Mr.. Ebbets was In receipt Of the fol-
lowing telegram from August Hermann,
president of the Reds:
The board of directors absolutely dis
for cash. They want players In ex-
change. II you can make a deal with
Tinker to play with Brooklyn. submit to
US proposition which will include either
Pitcher Yfngling or Ragan or Outheld-
or Moran or Stengel. with cash equiva-
lent for difference
This telegram acted like red flag to a

Are we to understand that the signed
contract between Hermann and myself
is repuolated and means nothing?

pose 10 SIT idly by and be made the
laughing stock Of the base ball wosId
we would not cancel that deal or con-
slder one On any new terms for a profit

brooklyn cub, and We will stand or fall
on the sale as made"

had said that he was still in the market

According tothe Pittsburgh Post Man
ager Fred Clarke has q deal on with
Clark Griffith of the Nationals. The
Post intimates that Mike Mitchell will
come to the Nationals either in exchange
for Dan Moeller or for Catcher Owens
When Griffiths attention was called to
the story this morning he admitted that
he had a conference with Clarke IN New
York and that the latter had virtually
promised to turn Mitchell over to him.
providing he could get waivers on him.
Griffith, however, denied that Moeller
was involved in the deal. though he said
he WAS perfectly willing to hand over
Catcher Owens.
II have absolutely no intention OF let
ting aIoeler out" said Griff. There is
no ground for such report. I would
give Owens for Mitchell. and / hope tina,

ers. l want 4 player of the Mitchell type

fortified with one more seasoned man.
The insinuation that Eddie Ainsmith
came to Washington because he was not
satisfied with his contract is most en-
phatically denied by Manager Griffith.
Ainsmith, like most of the members of
the team, has not been rendered con-
tract for next season, hence could no.

DREYFUSS SAYS LEAGUE

PITTSBURGH. Pa, December 16.-That
the National League will put up a big
fight in the courts to prevent any of
the players now held on the reserve list
In the old organization from jumping
to the Federal League was made mani
fest yesterday when President Barney
Dreyfuss of the Pittsburgh Nationals de-
clared that the major league contracts of
1913 and 1914 had been drawn UP to
meet just such a contingency as is now
threatened by the outlaw organization.
Players jumping contracts are amen
able to civil law said he. land all that
will be necessary for US to do will be to
go into court and secure an injunction
which will prevent them from playing ball
except for the club which owns them.

talent that there would be no difficulty

Now Paid for Entire Year.

1T may not be generally understood
that a ball player is no longer paid
merely for his services in the summer
time. For the past three years the play
ers' contracts have read that a certain
part of their annual salary was for their
work on the diamond and the remainder
for the right to reserve their services for
the succeeding season. This makes the
reserve rule legal and binding because II
is mutual and can be enforced in the
