TN view Of the fact that one Joseph
Tinker 10 rather particular AZ to
whens he goes. tho National League
masnatss had to adjourn without fur
nishinG the former Red manager with
DsrmaAcnt address. To set all minds
a. rest. Mr.. Tinker wired from Chicago
- each and every masnats. !, way Of
warning. that hs would ont ~ ant to
being traded to any city other than
CAicaeo Or Pittsburgh. All Of which
gave c. Holiday Bbbsts . feeling Of
considerable relief concerning that $4,000
o6ered to Garry Herman. With no
chance Of Garry taking It. the Brook
iyn owner went straight home and had
. good nisht's rest for the nrst time
sincs the big bank roll hung In the
balance.
The fact that Tinker desires to play IN
chicago makes possible . deal which
has been under consideration for twenty
four hours and which appears to be the
only logical solution OF me Tinker
tans1A The Reds need . manager and
. catcher The CUBS need Tinker. Now,
h6ure II out for yourself. Bresnahan,
yoa know. b with vhe Cubs. and 10 boIh
. manage rand q catcher. The old wise-
acres Of the league appear to think that
me proper move Before taking Brss-
nahan the Reds Also need a shortstop
and could use Gordon very handily. II
Tinker went back to the Cubs Corridor
would not be needed In Chicago There
fore. . trade Of Bresnahan and Corridor
for Tinker sounds like . reasonable.
common sense proposition. Everybody
would be satisfied. even to Tinker.
whose homo 10 in Cubland.
Mr.. Herman admitted last night that
he was considering such a proposition.
but would not admit that the deal had
got past that stage. Just a. the Red
owner was about to retire for the night
Charley Herzog cornered him and the
door was closed to meddlers. The can.
tsloupe grower Is very ambitious to be-
come a manager an dhas the peruis-
sion OF Harry Hampstead to go as far
as he likes In the way OF flirting with
the Reds. unfortunately. the Reds. 50
far. have refused 10 fiirt. but Charley
y sticking around In the hope Of getting
. smile.
IN the mean fNne the N1tfOndJ
League meeting 10 a thing Of the
past, and. a. George Stdlltn0s
dpfly remarked, ran true to form
b. tctndtn0 UP toithout trade Of
any consequence having been
made. ~ nerer knep OF q trade
Vorth talking about being made
at a meeting" declares the Brave
leader, ana that 5ust about co.,
ers the case.
All Of yesterday was spent IN chang.
ing the constitution. but, after all. a
constitution doesn't amount to much
among friends. and az to what happened
W need not worry. When the fna
gong sounded Gov. Tener gave an In,
formal d,nssf to the club owners and
Carr Herrnr.. followed II UP with an
other downstairs. To-da the leftover
maenates will do q little Christmai
shopping. ana when that is done busi
nes In the city win resume its norma
trend.
There 10 going to be another Nat,ona
League meeting here in February. but
with the holiday spirit In front OF US
. there Is no use borrowing trouble. The
same gang will he here and the hnisf
will also be the came. for. 40 the ole
Aarkey said. 1T always is."
BY some underground method a re.
