BY J.. ED GRILLO.

The fact that Joe Tinker has not &C
cepted the original salary offered him by
the Brooklyn club does not mean that
there is serious hitch between the play
er and the club.
Tinker no doubt feels that he is in u
position to make demands for a big sal
airy. while the Brooklyn club figures it is
going the limit to pay an infielder 5000.
Ball players are not to be blamed for
trying to get all the salary possible. 1t
Ign club will be long getting together
With $1,000 bonus awaiting his sigma
ture to, contract. Tinker is not apt to
split hairs over his salary.
Assurance is given that once Tinker
joins the Dodgers he will give the team
his best services. Those who know him
well contend that the fact that he lost
the Cincinnati management has not sour
ed him, and besides he IS !. very intimate
friend of Wilbert Robinson and Will do
everything in his power to help him make
the Dodgers winners.
Though the French boxing authorities
have proclaimed Sam Langford champion
of the world as a result of his victory
over Joe Jeanette, Langford refuses &c
accept the honor insisting that he fight
Jack Johnson before laying claim to the
title. The heavyweight situation i
M u
doubtedly the champion of Europe. His
easy victory over Bombardier Wells en-
titled him to this honor. After Langford
and Johnson have settled their difference
if ever they do, Carpenter ought TO be
ready and matured enough TO tackle the
winner.
Somehow or other Gunboat Smith. who
scored q; victory over Langford in Boston
last month, is not given the consideration
he deserves when heavyweight titles are
sized up, though on form Smith really
has a claim for recognition.

TENNIS RULE CHANGES
SUGGESTED BY ENGLISH
British Association to Submit New
Regulations to International
Federation.

NEW YORK, December Gas II to
atone for its oversight in permitting the
formation of the International Lawn Ten
mis- Federation to be undertaken by con-
tinental authorities, the English Lawn
Tennis Association is now coming to the
fore with numerous suggestions for
changes i'm the Davis cup and general
tennis playing rules
The English Lawn Tennis Association
proposes to suo omit at the International
Lawn Tennis Federation meeting in
March u new service regulation which is
at wide divergence with the present code.
The radical departure from the existing
rule can be perceived when it is under
stood that if the new regulation is adopt
ed it will be necessary for the server 10
replace the foot raised from the ground
in service behind the base line before step
ping into the court instead of swinging
into the court with the raised foot once
the service is completed, as is permits
sible under the existing code.
This change would have the effect of
slowing UP a player who followed his
service with a rush for the net. and.
since large proportion of English play
erS advocate the deep court game, it
would be less detrimental TO the English
game than TO that of almost any other
country where tennis has reached high
class status.

Federals to Keep List Under Cover
Until Playing Season Opens.

ST. LOUIS. December 3o-Thirteen
Federal League magnates departed for
their respective homes yesterday with
mutual pledges that their lists of players
would not be divulged until the season is
ready to open or at least until il is too
late for the magnates of the National
and American leagues and their asso-
ciates to interfere, as in the cases OF
Pitcher Baumgardner and Catcher Sam
Agnew of the Browns.

Baumbardncr. Agnew and others repose

City. Premature publication of this fact
it is claimed, enabled the Browns man.
agement to get the jumpers. Now it is
uncertain whether Baumgardner or Ag-
new will go to the Federals without q
court battle.
Secretary Rickart was instructed to re-
peat to the press that when the lists Of
players and new. managers are ,announc-
ed there will be surprise in many camps.
Richard alone did the talking From the
smiles on the others faces, however, one
would infer that tile third league had
been running along smoothly for years
Certainly they gave the impression OF
having ample funds and rosy prospects
Another meeting will be called early IL
January.

All things considered. Robinson has,
perhaps, taken the most attractive place.
The Brooklyn team is an excellent hit
ting aggregation and 4 pretty fair fielding

Robinson one Of. the best shortstops in
the game, and with such men as DauDert,
Wheat, Rucler and others to put in the
field, Robinson's task of molding WIN

one.
Nearly every one of the players traded
by Brooklyn and Cincinnati after the

Change in Davis Cup Rules.

\ number OF changes in the rules gov
er1ling the Davis cup play are also put
forward as desirable, although England
lost the International tennis trophy las,
July when the United States team de-
feated the cup defenders, three matches
out Of five.
The English Lawn Tennis Association
would allow the playing of Davis cup
matches on turf or natural or artificial
gritty material, which description appears
more likely to lit gravel than d dirt
court. Another proposed change would
bar a player from competing for any
country but the one which he represented
in his first Davis cup play
These changes proposed lead one to
wonder that the alterations In the code
governing an international trophy do
mated by an American We're not proposed
1T a time previous to the loss of the cup
by England.
