| bail players over IN EbbetS Field, but
after you set Rueker, Daubert. Wheat
and Cutshaw to one side, the Cincin-
natl Club becomes so befuddled that
it is unable to make a selection.
O.
Tinker, at $4,000, is not a bad
bargain. He is good for three years
yet, and with club like Brooklyn
he would draw his salary at the gate.
Beauty of it ali, Mr. Ebbets
means business in his bid of $4,000
for the player. The junior member
of the famous Ebbets family, our own
Newark Club president, told me so
during his trip over here on Wednes-
day and he also told me that Tinker
would just about make Brooklyn a
first division team. 1t would mean.
too, that Enos Kirkpatrick would play
in Newark next season. and 1t would
make the Brooklyn magnates feel so
happy that they would send over
Earl Yingling. the dandy left-hand
pitcher. we spoke to you about yes
tOA deiS. SSs oiIECy illkGI Will IoTQOk-
lyn would be a good thing for New
ark, so we wish Mr.. Ebbets and the
MoKeever brothers good luck in their
efforts to secure the player.
Abel Kiviat. who has been secured
by Coach Carl Anderson to run in a
match race against Mel Sheppard and
Ted Meredith at the Central High
School games January 81. by his vic
tory in the cross-country champion
ship, has won the title for the Irish
American A. c. The rules provide
that in case tie the club whose rep
shall be entitled to the honors. As
Kiviat won the race, why the Irish
club gets the championship.

Chicago has thrown away a golden
opportunity to become known in a
football way in the East. The West
ern college had chance to play Har-
ward but she declined. Her alibi is
ilCl 10y oily " lllC DIS ANliiS, Go biiC
leading colleges in the West are
termed. The statement given out by
the board of physical culture of the
university has this to say:
1.-THE University of Chicago has re-
ceived an invitation to play football
game with Harvard University in
Cambridge next autumn. At meet
ing of the board of physical culture
and athletics appreciation of the in
vitation from Harvard was expressed.
In the opinion of the board, however,
it is not at present advisable for the
University of Chicago to schedule
football games out of the Western
conference, and especially at so con-
siderable a distance"
Very well, Chicago, but you will be
sorry later on. Harvard is just now
the class of Eastern football, and Chi
cago missed a grand chance to become
fashionable.
Bombardier Wells is even worse
than we thought. His one-round de-
feat at the hands of Georges Carpen-
tier was the last straw. Wells has
been a tremendously lucky fellow. He
was given more money for what he
could do than any fighter in the last
100 years. He got a whole lot of
money for his fights over here, two
of which he lost and one of which he
won. In the bout with Carpenter,
which was also for side bet, Wells's
end is said to have been $780, Some
fighters, we'll confess. are not at all
lucky, but as to Bombardier Wells,
he's the luckiest fellow in the world.
Nice-loolSing, as the ladies say. and of
fine manners, Wells just tumbles into
favor, it seems. He isn't fighter, by
any means, but no one can blame him
for accepting the money that is being
