TINKER LIKELY TO JOIN DODGERS Ebbet Offers Two Players and $2O,O0O For Star Short
 stop

At late hour last night, nothing broke in the Tinker situation, though he may come to Brooklyn. Garry Herr mann promised Ebbets he would give him an answer later.
 There was a runOr that Ebbets had offered Smith, a, pitcher (said to be Aitchison) and $2O, 900 for Tinker, but Charley denied he made Hermann this offer. ''I will say We made Herr mann a big offer, involving players, but you can truthfully say that Smiths name was never mentioned.
 life we traded Smith we would be as bad off as we are now. Now we need a shortstop, but if we traded Smith we would have a, shortstOp but no third basenan. would prefer to give Hermann s25,0O0, but he does not want money"
 The proposition Ebbets made is said to be Moran, Aitchisoh and $2O, 900.
 Charley Dooin startled the Pittsburgh men by saying that any time Pitts burgh cared to swap "Cozy'' Dolan back to Philadelphia for Bobby Byrne and Howard Camnitz all Pittsburgh need do is to say the word. ''I'1I take DoIan back tomorrow if they say the word,'' said Dooin.
 Fred Clarke was told about Dooin's S offer and though he is desirous of wishing "Cozy'' on somebody, he does not seem to want Byrne and Camnitz back.

GUNBOAT SMITH TO
 TAKE ON CARPENTER

Yes, the question that has been asked one thousand and more times since Georges Carpenter feued ftBombar- dier'' Wells in London is likely to be answered positively within a few days Here's the question: Is there any chance of a match between Carpenter and f'Gunboat'' Smith or some other good sized '.Yank'' who is able to take care Of him self in a boxing ring?
 There is.
 It only took f'Dick'' Burge a few minutes to see an opportunity to make a little money with Carpentiere after he had slipped one over on Wells Dick has cabled an offer of purse containing S1O,0O0 if a match can be ar ranged between Carpentiere and "Gun- boat Smith.
 George Mcdonald, who was the sponsor for Matt Wells appearance in this country, at once moved in the matter, and, acting for Burge. is now fondling "Gunboat Smith in the most loving way.
 That's just how the matter stands at tn his moment. The next cable will probably state that such a match has been arranged and that fftne Gunner and the FrenchTnan will hold short meeting at the National Sporting club, London, though fs may be in the pug ilistic deck that f'Bi1T Gibson will .ehuff1e- out something in the limelight ere the location of the bout Is settled.

WOODEN LEG PITCHER
 DUG UP BY SCOUT

Barney Pelty, the old major league pitcher, has a young finger under his wing whom Barney is trying to land with some major league club. The 5-oungster is Albert G. Murphy, and in western Missouri he is known far and wide as the pitcher with the wooden leg
 Murphy truly has a leg which form erly was part of a tree, but Pelty says that should not be held against him. In fact, Barney says the wooden leg is a help instead of a hindrance. In steam of ducking the hot drives, Mur- phy let them hit his wooden shin and throws the batter out at first.
 Petty also says that the wooden leg does not hamper Murphy's speed on the path. 'Pn bet this kid Murphy can beat three-Quarters of the big league pitchers in a foot race," says Barney. "even though you don't have to be able to hit or run to be a sue cessfuI pitcher"

TOMMY MURPHY IS
 TO CLAIM TITLE
New YOik Fighter Sore Because
 Ritchie Didn't Fight

San Francisco, Dec. Pr will claim the lightweight championship of the world now that Ritchie has refused to fight me. I will defend it against all corners at 133 pounds, r1ngside, or a few hours before entering the ring
 This was the statement made yester- day afternoon by Harlem Tommy Mur- phy, the great little New Yorker who was disappointed in his match with Willie Rftchie Wednesday evening. Murphy was sore through and through and so was his manager, Jim Buckley, who backed up his fighters claim.
 In the meantime the lightweight champion was undergoing another op- eratton in his room at the Continental hotel. Dr. Mccarthy again probed the abscess in Ritchie's nose and or dered him to remain very quiet.
 ''Ritchie's condition cannot be de- termined upon for at least two weeks,' said pr. Mccarthy after the opera ton. q believe that the abscess is the result of some infection of the nose. He must remain quiet and take no chances for at least fourteen days. I do not think the injury is serious, but I cannot make a. definite announce ment at present"
 This means that there will be no hope of a battle between Ritchie and Murphy for more than a. month and possibly two months.

TENER LAUGHS AT
 BASEBALL TRUST

New York, Dec. 12-John K. Tener, governor of Pennsylvania and newly installed president of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs, ridfcu1ed the idea that the game was controlled by a trust in a brief state ment issued incident to a business meeting of the league.
 There is no such thing as a base ball trust, he said. EtOrganized base ball is a natural outgrowth of an en- deavor to build up the business and put the game on the highest plane There has been no desire to crush com petition
 The governor repeated that he was going to be president in fact as well as name. Routine affairs only faced the club owners at today's session

YALE ANGRY AT LOSS OF ATHLETE Tom Enwright, Exeter Football Star, Decides To Enter
 Harvard

Some irritation has been caused at Yale by the announcement receiveu this week that Enright the most bril- liant athlete at Exeter, will go to liar ward instead of to Yale, as ne had ex- pressed his inten ton of doing till with 1n a week. The case, coming close up on that Of Mahan, is regarded at Yale as l1ustra ting unfortunate inf1u- ence of free schoiarships upon ath- letets' decisions in preparatory schools.
 Mahan, it will be remembered, had partially passed his entrance eXamina- tiOns for Yale and had enlisted Yale men in his behaIf in efforts to obtain work to assist him Ell paying his ex- penses through college when he sud- denly changed his mind and went to Harvard, where he receives a substan- tiaI free scholarship.
 Enright will be recalled a S a remark ably brilliant football and baseball player at both Wore ester Academy. which he left two years ago to go to Exeter, and at the latter academy.
 Sudden changes of athletes plans in their choices of colleges from inten- tiOnf5 known to have been cheri shed for years are regarded with some suEspi- cion, and on this account the present decision of Enright is being discussed at Yale with some fervor.

Fast Bouts On
 1iberty Card

According to the opinion of local members of the sporting fraternity, the ten round bout between Young McAu1iffe of this city and Tommy Houck, the fast mitt artist of New York, will be an exciting go next Mon day night at Eagles hall. The Lib erty A. c. is staging the show.
 But to round out an all-star. card, Matchmaker Ducky Holmes did not stop when he arranged the McAuIiTe- HCuck bout. He went a little further and arranged a ten round bout be- tween Al Ketchen or this city and Tommy Ginty of Scranton, Pa. Now anyone who saw those two boys per form at a show here last winter will remember what a fast bout they put tip. Both are willing mixers and each has a stiff wallop. It is seldom that the interest in a show takes on the color that the coming one has. The advance sale of tickets has been 1arg- than for any show given here in a number-of years.

It's All Here
JENNINGS HAD
 EYE ON BROOKLYN
Detroit Manager Was Bidding For Job Which Robinson
 Landed

It leaked out yesterday that Hugh sy Jennings, manager of the Detroit team of the American league came within an ace of landing the job as manager of the Brooklyn baseball team.
 The story goes that Jennings got the idea that if he were badly want ed in the National league, Detroit would let him go. Hence he mad certain underground overtures to Charles H. Ebbets. The Brooklyn president was willing to hear what Jennings had to say, and Jennings teIephoned fromh Manhattan that he would visit Ebbets Field right away. He hung up before he could be choked off.
 What made the situation embar- raising for FIbbets was that in the office at the time was Bill Dahlen, ~Tvho had not been formally informed I that he was a dead one, and who still entertained hopes that he would be reappointed. Ebbets slipped the word to Ed. McKeever, who was also present, and Ed stood on the ap- breaches to the field to stop Jennings. Ed himself proved the best scout and held up Jennings, who was in auto. They went to a restaurant and talked business. That talk continued off and on for 10 days.
 Meanwhile, Manager John J. Me Graw, of the Giants, is said to have been tipped off about the Jennings negotiations, and to have determined to put wilbert Robinson in the berth. Wherefore, says the story, McGraw and Robinson faked a quarrel and McGraw released Robinson so that stout party would be at liberty to bargain with any club that might need a manager. Ebbets heard that . rv-z T o1J 7o-, that put Robinson in charge of the Superbas for the coming year. All or which indicates that the election of Governor Tener does not signify that baseball is entirely free from politics or shrewd manipulation.

KItBANE TO MEET
 AT1ELL FEB. p
(Bv T. s. Andrews.l


 Johnny Kilbane and Abe Attel1 are to have their little dispute all over again on Feb. 22, 1914, when they clash in a 20-round bout at San Francisco. It will no doubt be the same thing over again, although it will be sur prising if Abe is in shape to go through the 20 rounds. There was a time when the little ex-champion would have gone the distance and thought 1t mere play, but that time has passed by. The old stamina is not there and Abe will find it out be- fore he has gone 15 rounds. He will find that all his cleverness will avail him little, for Kilbane is just as fast as Abe now and besides Johnny has had much experience since he won from AttelI. The Cleveland boy also has youth in his favor and he has not t'done the Broadway lights like little Abe. It will no doubt be an inter esting fight for a, time, and fast, but at the end the Cleveland boy should once more hang out his shingle as feather weight champion.

TO-DAY IN PUG1LIsTIC ANNALS.

1887-Ike Weir and Tommy Warren fought 2O-round draw at Minneapolis. This bout was for the featherweight championship af the world. The Bel fast Spider had all the best of the mill, and the draw decision was very unpopular. It was rumored that War ren was given two-Sunce gloves and Weir much fatter ones, but even if this was true it did not do Tommy any good. The Fox hzHt, oAnblematio of the worlds feather titIe+ was given to the Spider after this bout. Warren began to go back -Ier this fight, but the following year he was still good enough to whip Jack Havlin in a sen sationaI bout in San Francisco, during which Havlin was knocked down over forty times, although not knocked out.
 1848-Mike Madden and Jack Grant fought 40 rounds, 5 hours and 45 minutes, at Waking, England.
 1907-Stanley Ketche1 knocked out Joe Thomas in 10th round at San Francisco.
