Tinker and Murphy Are SquabbIing
Leach Signed With Cubs.

Chronicling the warfare between
Joseph Tinker and G. Webb Murphy
is becoming highly monotonous, and
we are off that stuff until one of them
stops arguing and goes to hurting
real bombs.
Murphy's latest crack against
Tinker was regarding the alleged
conduct of the Oak Park magnate
while he was manager of the Gin
cinnati Reds. Tinker has responded
with the assertion that Murphy tried
to tamper with him while he was the
property of the Brooklyn club.
F. This statement of Tinker's is sup
posed to expose the alleged insincer-
ity Of Murphy's walls against the
Federal Leaguers tampering with his
players. t
This squabble may be highly d.
verting, but-not from where we sit.
It gets no one anything, and tells US
nothing we didn't know before.

Webb makes ]. Ham Lewis resemble

provocation. 1t is all one to the boss
of the Cubs.
His latest is regarding Tom Leach,
who has submitted terms for 1914.
and they have been accepted" The
idea of Tommy submitting terms to
Murphy is not consistent with what
has happened in the past. Leach is
referred to as man too smart to
join with a lot of semi-pro players
and scamper around in an outlaw or
ganization."
Murphy also says that the right
thinking American believes in the in
volatility of contracts. remember
Frank Chance and Mordecai Brown
and will have nothing to do with
people who break them.
His closing statement is the real
gem of the effusion. In that respect

Hermit Called "0Id Man" by

GRAND JUNCTION, COLO, Marcn
14.-The divorce granted to John OF

from Mrs. Beatrice Farnham Otto,
artist and sculptor, ends a romance
which promised a happy marriage.
The two were married three years
ago, to a salute from 100 revolvers,

eminence miles from here.
Miss Farnham gave up a palatial
home in Massachusetts to live in the
mountains of the West. Born in South

had sheltered her family for $50 years,
she decided when a girl to study art
in San Francisco.

the Peoples Concert Band organized
here some months ago.
Billy's father, r. c. Minich, is man
ager of the band. But Billy doesn't
owe his position to any pull" Billy
has been mascot ever since the band
was organized. and to make his posi-
ton absolutely official, the members
formally elected him one night by ac-
clamation. When the man came to
take the measures for uniforms the
musicians would have it no other way
but that Billy must Re measured, too.
And similarly, when the instruments
the best that money can buy-ar-
rived. somehow a tiny horn for Billy
was in the lot. The horn, which cost
a pretty penny. is present from the
manufacturers.
Such a popular musician is the lit
tie chap that when the band is play
ing on the street corners the crowd is
very much disappointed If he is not in
the center of the circle-in uniform,
with his horn and his music book. OF
course, it has been whispered that
when the band plays on the corner
Billy's horn is stuffed with cotton.
But Billy doesn't care. and he blows
away and puffs out his cheeks as big
as anybody. PROFESSIONALLY, Billy is
the hit of the band. And when he
stands up straight in his uniform,
clicks his heels together, and raises
hi shand in military salute, there is
not a musician nor a spectator but
who cheerfully renders homage.
Just now Billy is rejoicing because
his pet alligator has come back. The
three-fo monster usually remains
in a kind of stupor throughout the
winter, but on a warm day last week
he "thawed out" and made off, pre-
sumably, in the direction Of Neuse
River The departure was mourned
for several days by the little master.
But. apparently the alligator prefers
the society of his young friend 10 his
liberty. for one day this week he
came crawling back of his own ac-
cord.
