Mike Mowrey, third sacker. Pitts
burgh threw in Dots Miller, owen
Wilson, Arthur Butler, Cosey Dolan
and Lefty" Robinson.
Deal No. was bulletined: Charles
Herzog and Grover Hartley, of the
Giants, switched to Cincinnati; Bob
Bescher shunted over to New York.
These deals came as a climax to
all of the dickering and pickering at
the National League meeting in New
York this week. While 1t was known
netchy, none of the scribes knew that
a deal between Pittsburgh and st.
Louis was so near.
Fred Clark, the Pirate boss, called
on dots" Miller at Kearny yester-
day and got his consent to play in
st. Louis.
The Cardinals get FIVE good men in
sacler. a fairly good pitcher and a
third sacker who is up to the major
league standard.
Bob Bescher, who will become q
member of the Giants in exchange for
Herzog and Hartley, the latter
catcher, is the champion base rum
ner OF the National League. The fact
that Herzog goes to Cincinnati mikes.
it look as though Hermann will give
Charley a chance to make good as a
manager.
Tener Winds UP His Business.
Governor John K. Tener last nighv
completed the duties as presiding or
ficer of his first National League
meeting by naming the leagues COM
mittees for the ensuing year.
AS the agreement provides that the
president of the league constitute it's

Club. and Henry O'Day.
On the committee on constitution

mann, James e. Gaffney and William
T. Baker, the last named filling the

lam Locke.
Tinker Is considering the Deal.
Joe Tinker, deposed manager of the
Cincinnati Club of the National
Baseball League, Is Considering" in
Chicago whether he will accept $10-
900 cash for reporting to the Brook
lyn Club. Tinker's face failed TO
conceal his surprise when told of the
offer that had been made for his serv-
ices.
He declined, however, to state
whether he would agree to the deal
or not until he had received an of
fetal account of the transaction.
Friends of Tinker expressed conf
dence that the $4,000 bonus, in add.
ton to his salary, would be sufficient
to induce him to sign as shortstopv
and Tinker's interest in the report
of the deal appeared to confirm this. :
whats happened to Brooklyn?~
he asked. THAT Is the last team in
the league to which I expected to be
sent. This is too much money to
let me give any off-hand answer, and
never dreamed that Brooklyn would
bid for me- =
It is expected that Tinker Will ses
Charles w. Murphy, president of the
Chicago Club. as soon as Murphy
gets home, and he indicated that he
would either accept or refuse the
offer after he had seen the Chicago
owner.
Tinker expressed no less interest In
the report of the trades b. Pitts
burgh for Konetchy than he did In
his own affairs. He praised Miller
as one of the greatest first basemen
In the league.
Fri1l Traded to Skeeters.
The Buffalo and Jersey City clubs
put through a deal yesterday where
by Pitcher Jack Frill goes to the
Shelters in exchange for Chick Bran
dom, also a twirler.
