L
Grinnell, Feb. 1.-Under most favor
able conditions the vote was taken yes
terday in this city to test the sentiment
among the women for woman's suf-
frage. The day was very cold with u
piercing north wind that made it inn
possible for many who would have
como had the day been fine to get
there without conveyance. But the
vote was surprisingly large, being a
total of 1873, of which 66s were yes ana
70 no to the question, do you favor
woman's suffrage?"
TO the second question on the bal
lot. "Will you exercise the right Of vot-
ing at every opportunity whenever it
is possible to do 500" the vote stood
$50 yes. 40 no, and 80 blanks. The suf-
fragists are jubilant. But those OPP
posed show that there are some 1,40O
women voters over IS years old whose
homes are in this city and some ninety
of yesterdays voters We're college girls
whose homes are elsewhere, so that the
result does not seem like quite so
sweeping a victory as appears on the
face.
Much interest Aroused.
Men familiar with the Grinnell po-
litical situation declared that never be-
fore in the history Of the town had a
campaign created such widespread in
terest. They also said that, compared
with the average vote at regular cleo
tions, the proportion of women that
voted was slightly in excess Of the
usual proportion of men that awaited
themselves of the suffrage privilege.
The election was staged by the Grim
nell Commercial Club, E. B. Brande,
president. The polls were open from
a. m. to p. m. All women of the
city more than 1s years old were al
lowed to. vote, including Grinnell col
lege goods.
Trying to live up to the standards OF
Theodore Roosevelt is directly re-
sponsible for the first primary for
women only to be held in Iowa. E. B.
Brande, head of the commercial club,
is bull mooser. He is willing to fol-
low his leader if the path leads thru
the sloughs Of suffrage, much as he
opposes suffrage.
When the bull moosers Of Iowa voted
the suffrage plank into the platform
Mr.. Brande was the most bitter OPP
ponent upon the floor of the conven-
toin. When the national progressive
party endorsed suffrage Mr.. Brande
gasped, but accepted the platform as
it stood with wry face.
Mr.. Brande suddenly conceived the
idea Of putting suffrage to a test vote
to the women themselves.

Mack Is There With
A Real Live AIibi

Connie Mack IS out with the alibi
for not putting pinch hitters in place
of Lapp and Plank in the second game
of the worlds series, which Matty won
after a 10 inning fight. Connie breaks
an ironclad rule to give his excuses in
an article in the Saturday Evening
Post.
Claiming that big six" has an ad-
vantage over the batter on his first
trip to the plate. but that the charm
wears off in subsequent visits, Mack
found that Lapp struck out the first
time he faced Matty, hit sharply to
Davis the second time and hit safely
the third. Therefore he counted on
him for further Improvement on the
fourth trip.
AS for PlanJ. Connie declared that
Eddie hit the ball harder than any
other player on the team during the
game having made one safety and
being robbed of hit by Fletcher on
another try Therefore he decided to
let Plank linger in the contest. But
the breaks went the other way, re-
sulting in criticism for the manager
and late defense of his action.

BROOKLYN PAYS
$4,000 FOR
TINKER
Veteran Is to Get $4,000
Bonus for Signing-0ther
important Deals

NEW YORK. Dec. 1s.-President
Charles Ebbets of the Brooklyn club
yesterday paid record price for Joe
Tinker. the deposed manager of the
Cincinnati Reds. giving up s25.0oo for
the infelder.
1t goes down in the annals of base
ball as a record price for player.
Of this amount, $4,000 will be turned
over to Tinker If he signs up to play
with the Dodgers.
August Hermann, president of the
$4,000 of this amount would be
turned over to Tinker as a bonus to
assure good faith that he would play
with the Brooklyn club.
After his release by the Reds. Tink-
er announced that he would not play
with an eastern club. Notwithstand
ing this announcement, President Eb-
bets entered the field of bidders for
the great shortstop against Barney
Dreyfus of the Pittsburg Pirates,
Muggsy McGraw of the New York
Giants and Charley Murphy of the
Chicago Cubs.
Tinker announced his preference of
going back to the Cubs, the club on
which he played for years and gained
fame as well as helping IL to win
pennants.
The price paid for Tinker is a re-
markable one and is sure to stand
for years. Tinker is a veteran player,
having been in the game for Is years.
and his future as star is regarded
to be limited when the life OF an aver
age major league star is considered.
However, Tinker just passed
through one of the most successful
years of his baseball career, while
managing the Cincinnati Reds.
Though he managed a losing club,
which usually affects the playing of
a star, Tinker showed his mettle by
hitting at a 326 clip, and he fielded
in phenomenal form.
Another important change was the
switch of Charley Herzog and Catcher
Grover Hartley of the New York
Giants to the Cincinnati Reds for Out
fielder Bob Bescher
The ST. Louis club and the Pitts
burg club entered into an important
deal Edward Konetchy. the crack
first baseman of the Cardinals, along
with Third Baseman H. H. Mowrey
and Pitcher Bob Harmon, were ex-
changed for First Baseman John
Miller, Outfielder J. o. Wilson's In
fielder Arthur Butler, Third Baseman
Albert Dolan and Pitcher J. B. Rob-
inson, all of the Pittsburg Pirates.

item is good eyesight.

several players of great promise who
were inveterate readers. One by one
they lost their batting powers and

BOXERS TERMS
HOLD Up THE
Bic MATCH
Richie and Murphy Hold a
Frenzied Financial Con-
ference With Coffroth

Willie Richie won't box Harlem
Tommy Murphy unless Promoter Jim
Coffroth guarantees him $4,000 with
privilege OF rs per cent of the house,
and Harlem Tommy won't box Willie
unless he is sure of straight 25 per
cent guarantee. Promoter Coffroth
won't listen TO these propositions. so
the great championship battle is away
up in the air.
They held quite a powwow yester-
terday. the main performers consist
Ing of the two fighters, Managers
Harry Foley and Jim Buckley and the
promoter. For several hours Cof-
froth listened to the frenzied argu-
ments of the managers and the fight
ers and then he threw his hands sky
ward, although he announced that
something might be accomplished at
another session today.
In the midst of the verbal battle
Buckley announced that he would
make a side bet of $4,000 that Muir
ply would beat Ritchie. provided that
the lightweight champion came down
to 133 pounds ringside.
'All right, you are on" shouted
Foley. "I'li take that one
That goes" came back Buckley:
but Ritchie will have to fight this
month"
No chance" was Foley's comeback.
'The doctor won't let Ritchie go to
work for two weeks, but we will take
that bet later on"
Buckley could not see the postpone
ment, so they forgot about the side
bet proposition and got down to talk
ing about fat guarantees once more,
but even this argument could not be
settled.
DEMANDS TOO STRONG.
Just before the session ended,
Buckley announced that he would
have a startling proposition to make
today But he would not intimate
what this might be. It's an absolute
secret. and Buckley positively won't
let anybody in on 1t till he springs
the announcement officially.
Their demands are too strong"
said Coffroth when the meeting broke
up. II stand willing to give Ritchie
a guarantee of $12.5oo. with a priv
ilege of so per cent of the house,
and 1 will give Murphy straight
percentage Of 25 per cent This is
the best I can do. Murphy believes
that he is entitled to nearly as much
as Ritchie. and I agree with him,
but l can't take the chance of COM
ing to his terms with Ritchie de-
manding half the receipts
There is a possibility that some
thing will be done when they come
together again this afternoon This
meeting was suggested by the man
ayers and not the promoter. Cof-
froth evidently was pretty well dis
gusted during the session yesterday,
and he announced that If any other
promoter wanted to give in to the
terms of the fighters he could have
the match.
If they do sign UP, the chances are
that the battle will not be staged
before washington's birthday. This
date seems to suit Ritchie better than
any other. He says that ne positively
can't start training for at least two
weeks Murphy, on the other hand,
has the upper hand In the deal
