fought heroically on the field to cover

The commander of the Federal left
wing. General George H. Thomas. con.
trolled all the troops still ut the front.
During the Dist he succeeded in unit
ing the remnants of his own corps
with the discounted battalions of the
right wing in defense of single pass
from the battlefield of Chattanooga.
During the night this temporary posi-
ton was abandoned, and on the morn
ing of the ODD the entire army was
posted for the defense of Chattanooga.
AS soon as the troops were settled in
their camps General Rosecrans. who
was a favorite with his men. rode
about and congratulated them on the
success of the campaign. declaring that
the taking of Chattanooga had been
the object of the movement which re-
suited in the battle of Chickamauga.
He assured them that it was a prize
and could be held against attack.
On the other hand. the Confederate
leader. General Bragg. believed that
he had Rosecrans' army at his mercy.
He did not propose to make direct at
tack on fortified lines. but hoped to
shut the Federals off from their sup
plies and starve them out of Chatta-

TEMPTING OFFER
MADE TINKER BY
FEDERAL LEAGUE
Reported That He Was Offered
$4,000 For Three Years
Joe Says There is Money Be-
hind Outlaws.

CHICAGO. Dec. 27.-Joe Tinker.
former manager Of the Cincinnati
team. and Pres Gilmore OF the Fed
eral league held a conference Friday
afternoon with regard to bringing
Tinker into the new league.
According 10 Tinker the conference
was without result, except that they
agreed TO continue negotiations Sat
urday or Monday. Neither party 70
the meeting would divulge the terms
considered. Followers Of the game
asserted that Gilmore at the least
must outbid Brooklyn, despite Tnk-
er's preference to remain In Chicago.
Tinker refused to confirm or deny
the report that he had been offered
S36. 900 for three years in the Fed
eral league. In discussing the affair
however. he remarked that he could
not make that much money in three
years in the National league.
There is money behind this Fed
eral lea que" Tinker said. land the
proposition they made me is a good
one. ] know I can make more money
than if I STAYED in organized baseball

which I now have an option. and II

would be made the basis OF an in

MAY GET
SILENT UMP IRE
HeiIbroner of the Central is
Figuring on Giving Dummy
Taylor a Job During the
Coming Season.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Dec. 81
Pres. Louis Heilbroner may take one
of the most unique steps ever taken
by a baseball magnate next season if
he signs Luther II. Dummy" Taylor
as an umpire and gives the famous
old Giant pitcher a chance to demon
strate that an arbiter can manage ball
players without the use of the human
voice.
Taylor was on the New York Ma
tiOnal roster for eight years and has
had 10 seasons in the game, and was
last year in the International league,
but not particularly successful. He
Is now physical instructor in the Kan
sas school for the deaf and dumb at
Olathe. and is in dead earnest in max
ing his application.
lie says that he can conduct the
game by signs so that the players and
the spectators Will understand htn,
and that he will carry an assistant at
his own expense to call the bat
tiers and to announce any changes
that may be made during the game.
Pres. Heilbroner is impressed
with the idea of giving Taylor a
chance. He is fully acquainted with
base bali, and mute umpire would
certainly be something entirely new
in the game, and when the mute hap
ptutu 10 De Il man With Il DlS TSpuld-
ton the idea looks like worth put
ting into execution.
All fandOm understands baseball
signs well enough 10 know what is
meant Raising his right hand for
strike, his left for a ball, waving a
man out with a quick snap of the
right arm over the shoulder, declaring
him safe by extending one or both
hands palm downward, and similar
movements do not puzzle the regular
patrons of the game
Half the time they are forced to
rely on signs anyhow. as the noise at
big games makes it impossible to hear
what umpires say, so his lack OF
speech would not handicap Taylor
much in this respect However. he
would be at & loss TO understand a
player who might want to express his
opinion OF the umpire in a line OF
talk generally employed by members
of the profession, and which usually
constitute infractions of the statutes
and is rewarded by ejectment from
the game.
Taylor has been put out of many
games and his excuse has always
been that che never said a word"
This is true but he had a habit OF
taking his nose between his first fin
ger and thumb in a way TO indicate
that decision was rotten, or rather
that he thought it so, and of throw
ing his pitching glove high in the air.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.--David l..

that a committee representing the
federation would meet the national
commission at Cincinnati on Tuesday.

ton for alterations in the present
form of contract between club and

The fraternity probably will be
represented" says the statement, "by
John p. Henry, Jacob z. Daubert
Ray Z. Collins, John 3. Miller. Ed
ward NJ. Reulback and myself"
at has been enormously reported
that the fraternity Will make a fight
against the reserve clause. There is
nothing in our petition which in any
way affects this clause, with the ex
ception of the 18th and 18th requests
which ask that the veteran. when no
longer wanted in the classification In
which he has labored for years, be re-
leased outright AS these requests
are not aimed at the principle OF res
ervation, and only slightly affect the
operation OF this clause, they cannot
with justice be characterized as an
tagonistic to it."
