REFUTE TINKER DEAL.
Cincinnati Directors Want Players and
Not Money.

Cincinnati, Dec. 1.-THE board of
directors of the Cincinnati baseball
club today refused to ratify August
Hsrrmann's sale of Joe Tinker to
Brooklyn for $25,0O0. President
Hermann then sent a telegram to Eb-
belts of the Brooklyn club telling him
that the. deal insofar as cash alone was
concerned, was off, but that another
deal that would include Yingling or
Ragon and Moran or Stengel with a
cash consideration might be consid-
cred. Hermann made private
agreement with Ebbetts last week.
which allowed Brooklyn to have Tin
ker for $4,000 in cash. with the un-
Outstanding that the Cincinnati club
should give Tinker $4,000 for sign
ing with Brooklyn. Much displeasure
over the deal was felt here and some
of the directors openly stated that
they believed that players and not
money should have been obtained for
Tinker. They, however. would not in
dictate that they would not stand by
President Hermann in his agreement
until the meeting of the board today.
The telegram from President Herr
mann to President Ebbetts reads as
follows:
THE board of directors absolutely
disapproves the agreement to sell
Tinker for cash. They want players
in exchange. If you can make q deal
with Tinker to play with Brooklyn,
submit to US q proposition which will
include either Pitchers Yinging or Ra-
gon. or Outfielders Moran or Stengel,
with cash equivalent for difference"

PERSONAL FROM THEIRS

The new Kinemacolor Precision
Simplex projecting machine received
| by the Iris theater last Wednesday Is
equipped with mechanism for pro-
jecting sepia-brown pictures. as well
as Kinemacolor, and Is nOiseless In its
performance. The machine Is con-
structed with the delicacy and accur-
acy of q fine watch, with silent worm
gears, which are enclosed in air-tight
glass housings. The Iris now has two
of the very latest and best machines
made. The Iris proposes to accept
as to photography, as well as charac-
ter Of the stories portrayed. The
ghostly black and white pictures
which are marketed by some so-called
feature companies will not be ex-
hibited at the Iris. There are only
four producing companies which pre-
sent the style of photography and
character of plays which the Iris cares
| to exhibit and they are named: Kline
macolor Company of America, Fa-
nous Players Film company, ALL
Star Feature corporation, and World
i Special Films corporation. The Iris
] has exclusive license and control Of
| the total output of these organiza-
! lions, which are the strongest flnan-
cial combinations in the world. These
companies all insist upon De Luxe pho
Biography. and are not satisfied with
! anything less than the acme Of pres
| ent day perfection. Applying the
same crucial rule to the character Of
the plays presented and the actors en-
gagged, is the key to their success. The
management Of the Iris has confidence
in its purpose Of presenting quality
rather than quantity. and the splendid
patronage, which is constantly in
creasing, is proof that its judgment
and ambition has the endorsement Of
| the class of patrons It seeks to please.
| The Iris has in view a place In the
! minds Of Topeka people which. by
the very nature Of the shows present
ed, will warrant them in always de-
pending upon this theater for just the
| one place for delightful and whole
some entertainment, comfortably and
pleasantly provided. The mere an
nouncement OF the programs will
eventually be all that is necessary to
NIL every seat in the house, and the
price Of admission will be, floor 10
cents. balcony cents.
Arizona is the program for today
and tomorrow, a production OF excep-
/ tional quality and high-class photo

LONDON BY STORM
Hale Hamilton Of Topeka WIN
Manage Theater in England.
New York Astounded ct Sue
cess Of Kansas Actor.

Hale Hamilton Of Topeka. the young
man who has made such q success In
his nine short years of theatrical ex-
perience as an actor, playwright and
manager, will take charge of the
Queens theater in London soon, ac-
cordinE to Information received here
today through the New York Mirror.
Here is what the Mirror says:
Joseph Coyne Is not the only Amert-
can actor who has gained a foothold in
London. The British capital seems to
like our comedians-at least some OF
has established his popularity there.
He is not only pleasing the London
public as q comedian. but recent re-
ports declare that he Is about to develop
into q manager. It il announced that
he is to be seen In management at the
We Had Only Known His first pro-
duction will be an American comedy.
The Fortune Hunter Concerning the
play, only last week Mr.. Cyril Maude
told Mirror reporter that he was ne
gotiating for the London rights: but
Mr.. Hamilton has clearly anticipated
him.
Mr.. Hamilton is well known in To-
peka. For many years he lived here.
was a student at Kansas university
where he first entered theatricals and
later went on the stage. He left this
city about nine years ago. He has
been a visitor here many times since
entering the profession. His big sue
cuss in America was in Get Rich
Quick Wallingford," played in New
York city two years. He went to Lon
don with an English company In this
role-the only American in the cast.
This Is his second year in London and
ent that he has taken the English by
storm.
Hale Hamilton also il gaining a rep
utation as a playwright. The New
York Press says Of his latest attempt:
And a little child shall lead them" il
lightful playlet which Is the vehicle Tor

is the stellar attraction on this weeks
offering at Proctor's Fifth Avenue The
alter. =" An Eye for an Eye" Is the title
Of the dramatic playet. which was writ
ten by Hale Hamilton and Bennett Mus.
son, and which was originally done at
a Lambs Gambol. Biblical in theme.
the one-act play is not only very well
constructed, but also very we'll played
by Mr.. Corrigan and his associates.
IAN Eye for an Eye" tells q beauti-
full story In a delightful way. Here is
at last a dramatic act that doesn't get
melodramatic. It grips the interest and
touches the heartstrings. When the cur
tain fell there wasn't dry eye in the
auditorium so skilfully were the emo
lions played upon. A most affecting
scene was where the father learned
that Garrison's son was a playmate OF
the dead boy.
While intensely dramatic AN Eye
for an Eye" has no shocks and no muir
ders. The part of Garrison. q lovable
and likable character, was played by
Charles Abbott Mr.. Corrigan imperso-
mated Murphy and gave splendid
characterization without OVERRIDING the
part.

CHRISTMAS PAROLES.
May BE None This Year, Says Cover
nor Hodges.

There may be no Christmas paroles
by the governor this year, according to
a statement made today in the COVER
noT's office. While Governor Hodges
has not definitely decided the matter,
he Is contemplating the violation Of
a long established custom and may re-
1ect all Of the many applications for
Christmas day clemency.
In former years the governor has
sent Christmas greetings to the peni-
Tertiary in rhe form Of a list Of pa
roles and pardons for convicts.
Thanksgiving day, Governor Hodges
granted paroles to three murder con-
victs. But now he IL seriously con-
templating the rejection Of all apph-
cations for Christmas paroles.
Don't know that there will be q
single Christmas parole this year.
said Governor Hodges today. "I am
seriously considering the rejection Of
all OF the pending applications. OF
course this isn't final, but don't be
surprised If there are no paroles for
Christmas presents this year."
That is sad news to nearly 500 men
and women in the penitentiary. Many
Of the convicts have already applied
for paroles and a number Of them ex-
pected clemsncy as Christmas greet
ing from the governor.
