, dali to st. Louis. Crandall did not
want to play in st. Louis, and the other
members were more or less displeased
when the Giants pinch hitter" was
sent to st. Louis
McGraw bought Mclean and also
Crandall from St. Louis, and one of the
terms of the deal was that the Giants
would have to give st. Louis an out
fielder for their part in relinquishing
Crandall. just which one of the Giant
outfielders will be let out is not known.
Now that New York has Bob Bescher
1t is very likely that Snodgrass will
lose his place in center field, as Nc
Graw will probably keep Burns and
Murray in the outfeld. Snodgrass may
be released as utility Businessman, as
/ he has played that position with sue
cess several times when Merkle has
been laid up.
The Giants are pretty well off with
outfielders. Claude Cooper. Jim Thorpe
and Dave Robertson are eligible for the
st. Louis job, and is very likely TO be
one of these players. Robertson will be
taken to Marlin with the Giants, and If
he shows up as we'll in hitting as he did
with Mobile in the Southern league
last year, he will very likely be re-
tanned
When Higgins made the deal with
McGraw by which Mexican went to the
Giants at just the time when Chief
Meyers was hurt he also retained the
option that he could demand cash If
the outfielder whom McCraw offered
was not satisfactory.
Higgins stated at the last baseball
meeting that his reason for allowing
Mclean to go last season was not to
assist McGraw. but rather to dispose
of a ball player who was a bad man
on a, losing club, but who had the abil-
ity to be of great value to winning
club. 1t is stated that McGraw paid
good price for Mclean because he
wanted a catcher at any price, and Me-
Lean. 1t so happened, was just the man
to fill in the gap. Besides the price he
got for Mclean and Crandall, Higgins
still retains an option on Giant out
fielder

CASTS DIAMONDS IN SEWER
Burglar Who Couldn't Dispose OF
Gems Threw Them Away

Boston, December 25.-(Special)-A story
of diamond robberies in which several
thousand dollars worth of gems were
thrown into the sewer was told to the
police by Sidney Jameson, janitor of an
apartment house in Brookline.
Jameson was arrested yesterday Will,
trying to dispose of some jewelry in q
South End pawn shop. The police inter
rogated him throughout the night, and
this morning, it is alleged, the prisoner
made a complete confession of several
burglaries.
Twice, he told the police, he took dia-
monds that were so large that pawn
brokers would not buy them, and threw
them into the sewer. At one house nc
stole a necklace worth $4,000. Failing to
find a buyer, he dropped the gems into
a waste pipe.

the eX-Red manager has not only strenu-
ously objected to playing with the
Dodgers, but has also stated that he
would give serious consideration to the
offer of the Federals. On the matter
Tinker steadfastly refuses TO state which
course he will adopt next year-whether
he will remain in organized ball or jump
TO the Federa1-but is Is probable that
before the baseball sap takes on ruddly
glow he will have decided to cast his for
tunes once again with organized ball.
While the staggering blows that have
been dealt Yales prowess on the gridron
during the past two seasons has led al
mirers of the blue to deplore the decline
of sports at New Haven 1t might be well
to look over the list of the years col
lege championship and see if the teams or
Old Eli have made such a poor showins
as generally believed. The list of chanl-
tured four titles ranking second only TO
Harvard in the number of titles acquired
during 1918. A list of the college cham
pionships, as won by various institutions,
follow:
Harvard-Football, soccer, tlnnis, la

Cornell-Cross-c basketball and

Columbia-Fe chess.

Turning her back squarely in the face
of w. o. Hirsig, who up until Tuesday
evening bore the title of President of
the Nashville Baseball association, fate
has cast her support with Bill Schwartz,
the boy leader of the Vols, and no doubt
the Vol manager is highly rejoicing
over the unexpected good fortune that
has come his way. For the past two
weeks the AK has been suspending over
his head, ready to swoop down and
sever 1t at any moment. Now he is in
a comfortable position and it is Hirsig
who is experiencing the irony of fate.
The deposing of Hirsig as the Nash
VILE executive was entirely unexpected
ana came as great surprise " Souli-
ern fandom. Since the controversy with
Schwartz began Hirsig has been lording
over the Nashville baseball camp in an
intolerable manner and that he is no
longer connected with the Nashville club
in an executive capacity is gladstone
news to Nashville fans, who have from
the first stood firm behind their man
ager..
Vice President Shropshire has been
selected to succeed Hirsig as chief ex-
ecutive of the Vol ship of state. while
Bill Schwartz was unanimously re-
tained to look after the destinies of the
Nashville club during the 1914 season.

Ban Wants Intentional Passes Eliminated
The Sporting Forecast
by ASA ROT NrREE, JR.

II UNDECIDED as to his future course.
Joe Tinker, erstwhile manager OF
~ the luclSless Cincinnati Reds, is at
present wavering between the offers Of
Federal league magnates and Brooklyn.
On one hand the Federal leaguers are Of
fering him a lucrative contract of $40
600 for a three-year contract while on the
other the Brooklyn organization has con-
scented to shove over a cool $4,000 If nc
will attach his John Hancock to a
Dodger contract. To make matters more
serious the deposed leader of the Reds
has again and again openly voiced his
objection to being enrolled under the ban
ners of Charley Ebbetts and has inti-
mated that he was going to give the
Federal league offer serious consideration
before coming to any decision as to his
course for 1914.
The offer from the Federas came to
Tinker from James A: Gilmore, president
of the Federal league, and is said to be
of no mere paper variety. Tinker is de-
sirous of playing once more for his OLD
boss, Charley Murphy, and has threat
ciltu several tllleS Ol late 10 JUMP Or
ganized baseball if not allowed to play
in >the Windy City in 1914. Before his
sale to the Dodgers Joe Tinker WAS
being sought in a trade by the Cub mo-
sul and all indications were that the eff
forts of Murphy would terminate sue
cessfully, but negotiations was brought
to an abrupt end by the deal with Char
ley Ebbetts. This, combined with his
dismissal as manager, put the great lit
tie shortstop in an ugly mood and in
some quarters it is being predicted that
the Federal league will be successful ia
its efforts to woo him away from or
ganized ball
Probably never before has a baseball
transaction been as hard to complete as
has been the Tinker deal After carry
ing on negotiations with several, clubs
Garry Hermann, president of the Gin
cinnati organization closed a deal with
Brooklyn whereby Tinker was to go to
the Dodgers for cash consideration Of
$4,000, $4,000 of which was to go to Tin
ker as balm for his grievances. Fol-
lowing the completion of the deal the
Cincinnati board of directors refused to
ratify 1t and declared the sale null and
void. After considerable wrangling be-
tween the two clubs a supplementary
agreement was reached. in which the Gin
cinnati owners agreed to part with the
services of Tinker for the $4,000 and the
privilege of purchasing Pitcher Yingling
and Outfielder Moran from the Dodgers
for stipulated amount.
With the conclusion of this agreement 1t
was considered that the efforts of the
Dodgers to secure Tinker was at an end,
and that Tinker would submit to being
transferred without further argument
But this analysis was entirely wrong as
