Tinker is worth $4,000 as a ball
player Eddie Collins, of the Attn
letics, Is worth just four times as
much, or 100000. But also Connie is
very careful to avoid placing a none
tary value upon the services of any
ball player. That isn't his way. To
prove his contention as to the respec-
tive value of Tinker and Collins. Con-
ME has dug into his private records.
! These show that Tinker during his
twelve years in the major league has
a fielding average of 1892 and a bat
ting average of .264.
Collins, who broke into the big
league six years ago, has q fielding
average of 1858 and batting average
of 1888. In other words, on the aver
age Collins has fielded 21 points bet
ter sthan Tinker and has batted SO
points better.
I'm his six years as a regular" said
! Connie, collins has hit below 800
but once. In his first year in fast
company he batted 273. In the twelve
years Tinker has played major league
F! he has batted over the 300 mark just
once. when his average was .31S.
collins at least is just as brainy
as Tinker. He is faster on the bases,
but to elinch the argument he is a
whole lot younger. Tinker will be
| thirty-four next July. He is beyond
the prime of ball player. Collins Is
| twenty-seVen and has several more
years at his best in his system,
barring accidents. AS a general prop
osition as q PLAYER Tinker has but two
or three years"
And Connie declares the comparison
is not made to detract in any way
from the work of Tinker. Also he
wouldn't sell Collins for 100000 II
some club should offer that sum.

"Just a Little Break in Harmony"


President Hermann, of the Cincin-
natl Baseball Club, threw down the
gauntlet to his associates in control
of the Reds yesterday He said
81 shall remain president of this ball
club, even though overruled by the
other directors. I still maintain that
the $4,000 deal for Tinker was the
best and most sensible we could have
made
Herrmann's friends declared that
the real cause of the rupture in the
Cincinnati Club was the fact that the
directors objected to Tinl<er's receiV-
ing $4,000 as present for himself,
Charlie Herzog has been told to go
to Cincinnati to be present when the
directors of the Reds meet again to-
morrow.
"Just a little break in the har-
mony," was the way in which julius
Fleischmann characterized the action
of the Cincinnati Club in repudiating
the Tinker deal when this is over
we'll have harmony again." he added,
Mr.. Fleischmann declared that
Hermann would retain his post as

SMITH BEATS MAPS
TO TRAINING CAMP
Tiger Leader Took Columbus
Away from Birmingham,
Caught Mapping.
IS INTERESTED IN SCHULTZ

Manager Harry Smith, of the Tigers,
who had been on hunting expedition
down in Dixie-first to bring down
training camp for his champions and
then in quest of game-returned to
Newark today. Harry was loud in
his praises of Columbus, Ga, the new
Newark camp. Smith was elated In
landing Columbus, first Of all because
of the excellent accommodations ana
the up-to date ball park, and, sec
ondly. because he nosed out Manager
Joe Birmingham, of Cleveland, in
obtaining the privilege to use the
grounds.
Columbus. like Savannah, is in the
South Atlantic League, and boasts
grass diamond, which is rare among
bush league towns. In speaking OF
Columbus, Smith said:
Our new camp is further inland
than Savannah, and there will be ne
winds to bother the pitchers next
spring. It is an all-night ride from
Savannah, and a thriving town. At
first they wanted money and two ball
players for the privilege of training
there. and I left to go to Cordelle
and Albany. / was on the verge of
taking Albany when a dispatch came
from Columbus saying that the
directors Of the club there wanted the
champions of the International to
train there. and accepted their
proposition.
1.-THE Cincinnati Nationals trained
there q few seasons ago, and had good
weather. Last year the st. Louis Ma
tionals had Columbus, and they were
uprooted one day by young tornado,
which shook them up little, but the
weather authorities say that another
windstorm like the one which Miller
Hugglns's outfit suffered may not
come back for another century"
smith Interested in Schultz.
Manager Smith was Interested in
the deals transacted during the recent
International League, meeting, par
ticularly the one between the Boston
Nationals and Rochester Smith knew
some time ago, or suspected, that
Rochester was after Hank Gowdy and
Jack Schultz. 1t was through the
Newark Clubs efforts that Schultz
was held UP by waivers, and it may
be that the blondhaired boy will
cavort in a Newark uniform, IL Bos-
ton decides to let Schultz 20 to Brook
Iva. On the other hand Toronto may
get Schultz back; 1t depends on what
course Manager George Stallings de-
cides to pursue.
