eral of the twelve rounds the milling
was of the rough-and-tumble order,
with both boys relying on brute
strength.

Griffith he met his match. Neither
man was close to knockout, but
both showed a steaming punch,
which punished when it connected.

The Smoke Goes Up the Chimney
Just the Same-Page Tener.

Six days ago the National League
elected John Tener president for a
term of four years. This unusual
sagacity on the part of the National
magnates was hailed as a means to
end pickering among the clubs. EV-
erything was to be homelike, and the
club owners were to dwell in peace
and amity.
Today two clubs of the league are
mixed up in a hopeless snarl, and a
third is doing it's dangedest to get its
nose into the odorous mess.
The Tinker almost deal Is the sx-
cuse for the argument Cincinnati
and Brooklyn are the clubs snarling
at each other, and President Murphy
of the Cubs is sticking around the
outside of the ring, roofing for the
Reds to come out on top. If this
happens he hopes to land Tinker for
his team, and Murphy needs Tinker
worse than A. A. Mccormick needs
friends in the County Board.
Cincinnati direcors have reneged
on the agreement entered into be-
tween Garry Hermann and Presi-
dent Ebbets of the Dodgers, whereby
Tinker was to be exiled to Brooklyn
for $4,000, of which he was to re-
ceive $4,000.
To the layman that agreement APP
pears to be inviolable under baseball
law, whatever that is. 1t was signed
by Ebbets and Hermann, and the
only contingency was that Tinker
should agree. Joe was ready to fall
for the financial bait, being an astute
young man, who has earned a repu-
tation as possessor of a working
brain.
For quite some time we have had
a sneaking suspicion that the Cincin-
natl directors were pretty poor base
ball men. And now they prove our
contention by taking action that is
contrary tO all tradition among mag
