MAGIC SPELL OF THE EAST
to Its Enchantment-Wonderful
Changes Made In 20 Years.

There is saying that those who
drink of the waters Of the Nile will re-
turn. 1t may be another way Of say
ing that the magic spell of the east
is irresistible
TO speak of Cairo and Its wonder
full surroundings, of Heliopolis, or the
ageold pyramids, of the mighty
Sphinx, and all the rest Of the mani
fold attractions Of the changeless east
were to utter banalities. 1t must be
eXperienced-and once to visit Egypt
is to become slave to it's enchant-
ment.
A visit to Egypt today is far diff
ferent undertaking than it was some
twenty years ago. The changeless
east Is still unchanged. But the hand
OF modernity has wrought some very
desirable changes in hotel life and in
the highly important matter OF rail.
way transit. The visitor today finds
himself STEPPED in all the wonderful
glamor, the strange calm and mysti-
cism Of the east, but he has only to
stretch forth aand to avail himself
OF the housand-and-one amenities and
comforts and facilities of the tWen-
ueth century lifa.
The American Is surprised to find
that he can luxIriate in fast, smooth
gliding trains de luxe such as he is
accustomed to at home. The Egyptian
state railways are essentially modern,
II they serve the most ancient places
In the world.

Federal LEAGUE \
CLAIMS ]. TINKER
New Organization Said to Have
Signed the Chicago and
Cincinnati Star.
AT A VERY FANCY SALARY

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-Joe Tinker Is going
to sign with the Federal League TO man.
age the Chicago team of the new organ
ization IL the Brooklyn club does not
hurry and make him an offer that he will
feel justified in accepting.
Further, Tinker will sign tomorrow, as
he has promised the officials OF the new
league to give them a definite answer
then. Tinker was in conference with the
Federal Leaguers for over two hours this
afternoon and made this statement after
he had finished. Though Tinker says
Brooklyn has as yet made him no def
mite offer of a salary outside of that
much-discussed bonus OF $4,000. he be-
lieves that 5000 would be the limit that
President Ebbets will put on 1t. This he
will under no circumstances accept
1t is generally understood that the Fed
eral Leaguers have offered Tinker a year
" salary of $4,000, the contract to run
three years. Tinker will not admit that
the amount is this high, but says 1t Is
far in excess of what he knows Brooklyn
is willing to pay.

MURPHY CAUSE OF
INTERSECTIONS
Suspicion Exists that Chicago
Magnate Is Behind Big
Hold-out Deal.
In BAD WITH CUB FANS
If Windy City President Gould Land
Cincinnati Star 1t Would
Be Master Stroke.

New York, Dec. IA large-sized sus-
picion exists today that C. waistcoat
Murphy, a Chicago, Ill, gentleman, is the
of Joe Tinker to sign a Brooklyn con-
tract.
Perhaps such a suspicion does Murphy
an injustice. 1t is likely that he is in no
way responsible for the coyness Of the
said Mr.. Tinker. But the fact remains
that Murphy covets Tinker in a most
unholy way and would go to any fair
limit to get him.
The Chicago fans are clamoring for
Tinker. They have agitated for his re-
turn ever since they learned that the Gin
cinnati club would put him on the auc-
ton block. They want Tinker as they
never wanted anybody CT anything
else Murphy is ''in bad" with the Chi
Cago fans But If he got Tinker for them
it would be a master stroke; one that
would cause the fans to forgive Murpny
for his many omissions and commissions
of the past.
If Murphy has not cOnfabbed with
Tinker. and urged the little shortstop
hold-oh signing a Brooklyn contract
until he Murphy should play a little
subway baseball play, then Tinker's
stand against signing with Brooklyn
seems only the more mystifying.
The moment Tinker attiXes his signature
TO a Dodger contract he will get a $4,000
check as bonus. Also he will be guaran-
teed $500 salary for next season. Tinker
is holding out for S7,OOO This was the
salary he received last year from Gin
Cinnat
However, last year Tinker was
manager. That was at least $3.50 diff
ference He's a nonmanager this year.
In the minds of most fans 5000 seems
Il mighty big salary for Tinker, for such
a stipend, added to the $4,000 bonus will
make his 1914 income exactly Sl6,WO-
without doubt the biggest salary ever
received in any one season by a non
manager player.
1t certainly seems strange that with
such a lure Tinker refuses TO be 1ured;
that he holds out and seems quite in
different about signing. This has given
rise to the belief that Murphy secretly
assured Tinker that the Chicago club
would pay him not only the $4,000 bonus,
but also salary of 5000 under a con-
tract running for three years, if Tinker
would only do little Jockeying about
signing the Brooklyn contract so that
&. Waistcoat could have time to do a
little underground work.
