TINKER MAYJ0IN
CHICAGO FEDS"
Desire to Play in Chicago Is
Given as Reason for Pos
sible Jump"

Joe Tinker likes Chicago so well
that he may risk jumping to the Fed
eral league in order to stay where he
can play baseball and keep a weather
eye on the new manufacturing concern
in which he has taken a financial in
terest This is the way the former
Red manager put II when asked yes
terday If he was dickering with the
! Independent leaguers with a view to
taking the management of the Chicago
team:
1t doesn't look as if Murphy want
ed me. Comiskey can't get me out OF
the National league, and so it seems
the only way / can play ball in Chi
cago is in the Federal league. l have
not exactly been dickering with the
new league people. l have listened
TO some of them talk, but there has
been nothing definite enough said to
be considered an offer-nothing like
the reported promise to put sum OF
money in the bank to guarantee sal
AIRY, etc. But l viii admit l have been
sounded to find out If / would con-
slider a Federal league offer.
There are only two cities in which
would be willing 10 play. They are
Chicago and Pittsburgh. Naturally l
prefer this city because the fans al
ways have used me splendidly, and
then l have a business venture here
which needs looking after. / have al
ready written Robinson of Brooklyn
and Doom of philadelphia that ! will
MOI play in their cities next season,
so it will be of no use for them to
make a trade for me. Now am going
to wait and see what comes off in New
York this week"
If President Murphy of the Cubs
really wants Tinker. il would appear
that his only dangerous rival is the
Pittsburgh club, and with Tinker root
ing 10 get back 10 Chicago il looks as
if the Cubs ought to have the inside
track in the deal if the west side mag
nate is willing to give the Cincinnati /
club anything like good value in re-
turn. Murphy is aware of the oppOr I
tunity 10 obtain Tinker, if he has re- !
ceived communications which have /.
been sent abroad TO him, but so far as I
known no word regarding Tinker has /
been received from him.

down for the count Throughout the
brief contest the Englishman did not

fight took place at Client. and Carpen-

round after the Englishman had had
all the better OF the first two sessions.
Wells was a painful shock To English
sportsmen, who were under the i'm
preston that his Client reverse was
due to a fiuke, and. therefore, made
him a strong favorite. He was backed
freely at the prevailing odds Of 3 10 4.
The match attracted more interest

WALSH'SARM NOW
is IN GOOD SHAPE
White Hose Twirler Writes that
the Rest Has Been Big Help
to Salary Wing.

Edward A. Walsh is already in train
ing for next season. This information
was conveyed in a letter received
from the big Sox hurler yesterday by
Harry Gardiner, White SoX secretary
and custodian of the ball club in the
absence of Comiskey and Callahan, two
prominent travellers.
The "Moose's" letter contains the old
stuff about being ready, never in bet
ter condition, etc. When Ed cuts loose
in such fashion, however, he means 1t,
and the fact that he is boxing forward
with great enthusiasm to the coming
campaign means something else. The
big follow borders on dependency
when he isn't going right, so his men,
tai as we'll as physical condition must
have improved.
Since quitting these parts for his
home at Meriden, Conn, Walsh writes
that he has been doing a lot of hunt
ing and motoring When he isn't
tramping through the woods in search
of game girds he is spinning around
in his big six" car. He claims that
the twitch in his right arm, so notice
able last mas unsupported
tirely.
Walsh is planning to pack his grip
late in January or about the start of
February and head toward the West.
He is going to break all records for
early arrivals and will reach the Sox
training camp, Paso Robes presum-
ably, at least two weeks in advance
of the main squad. After seeing what
Jim Scott accomplished last spring
Walsh is of the opinion that long
siege of conditioning will prove just
as beneficial 10 him.
There is still mystery surrounding
TIE ailment that kept Walsh out OF
service last summer "Bonesetter"
Reece diagnosed the injury as a mis-
placed tendon and claimed to have To-
Gated the trouble The Moose" how
ever clings TO the theory that the
slight pain noticed whenever he moved
his arm was caused by rheumatism. |
II is principally on this account that
he is going TO California at an early /
date. SCOTS trouble was rheumatism,
and a course of baths at Paso Robes /
the complaint.
Gardiner has not yet made his Sc
lection of a training camp, but Paso 1
Robes continues to be favorfte. The I
Sox secretary is waiting for word from
Boyes Springs and Pasadena, the two
1ther California resorts now in the
-unning.

WHAT OTHERS THINK

TWO ANS in the northern end OF
/ the Three Lamp are proceeding along
entirely different lines in their efforts
to build up a championship machine
for the 1914 season, the two men
toned being the Blue Sox and Hust.
lers.
Clarence Rowland, careless boss OF
the Dubuque club. is trying 10 unload
his veterans, the men who have been
the mainstay of his fighting machine
for the last two or three seasons, and
will attempt to build a new machine
during the winter in an effort TO
finally land a pennan--winner for his
German village.
Danyouell O'Leary. unique Celt,
manager Of the Davenport club, is try
ing 10 get veteran material for his
1914 club in an effort to give the long
suffering and loyal bugs a rag-copper
after years OF waiting and watching.
Last spring the Blue Hose were
touted as sure pennant-winners and
with the wonderful machine which
started the season there was small
likelihood OF any other club winning
the topnotch position. The sale of
nipped the championship aspirations
in the bud, however, and with a
patched-up lineup the Hose were for
tunate in finishing in the first four.
With the sale OF these four players
and the two who went at the close of
the season, Otto KOepping and Bob
Couchman, the Hose made a tremend-
Gus number of dollars and at the same
time many OF the followers became
dissatisfied because Of the weaken
ing OF the machine.
Now it is the intention OF building
a team composed largely OF veterans
with a sprinkling OF youngsters and
a real, determined effort will be made
TO go out and get a winner for the
long-sufering Pretzel bugs, while
Rowland will open the season in his
new municipal park with a team of
Youngsters.
Moreover. the peevish one is sue
