Observation-Disclosures both in
getting down to first and navigating
the cushions after the arrival; agility
in pursuing the soaring fly and mix
ing into the hurried intield plays:
lightning %quickness in every depart
ment of the game-that's what Joe
Tinker is going to try to inject into
the Cincinnati Reds during the season
of 1913.
Joe is a victim of the speed mania.
He says it's a lot better to have a
$50 hitter who can skip around
around the diamond and score ninety
or moro runs i'll Il season than 1t is
to have a ponderous hitter who can
make a record of $50 at bat and come
across with only fifty runs in a year.
Tinker says swatting is only a part
of the game. It's an important part.
of course. but no more go than ability
to steal bases and skip along like d
from sack I q sack.
The Rods nave plenty of good men.
but somehow they don't deliver. Out

for using their legs. If Tinker
can make the gang wake I'M. circle

not make only the speed mania
mount to something. hut he will i'm
hoist the Reds wav above
their previous PERCENTAGES.
That 'rinkcr's path is strewn With
ANYTHING hut roses none will deny
OF the five managers who were in
of Cincinnati while Tinker

Clark Griffith of WASHINGTON. Kelly
and Camel are pilots Of c,- AA

game. while O'Day is tryin" to decide
or not to attach himself to
Ban Johnson's American league UNI
pirc brigade.
Cincinnati has been called the vesu-
vius of the National legaue. and Joe
Tinker will have to be on the alert
tn escape the catastrophes which
befallen his predecessors during
the past decade. If he can inject a
pep and speed into his players
and get them to acquire the winning
habit which Tinker learned ut Chi

Then there's Lefty Russell. When
he was southpawing for the Balti-
more Orioles he was about as neat
could wish. Hired by the tall Mr..
Mack and shut out the Red Sox in
1910. Everybody had visions OF an
other Plank for 1911. But blooie.
Lefty wasn't worth a nickel a game
as a twirler. Connie Mack still huns

grim death has something on the thin

the result of the controversy between
Nebraska and Kansas universitiCS
over the playing of Ross, Nebraska s
negro guard. in the game between the
two schools set for Nov. 10.
Without entering into a discussion
of the alleged "gentlemens agree
ment' eliminating the negro from con.
ference games, the chancellor said:
Il will request the board of regents
at the next meeting to pass rule
that the right of students at the Uni.
versity Of Nebraska to participate in
any athletic contest. intercollegiate or
Otherwise, shall not be abridged on &C
count of race or color, and Nebraska
