Dodgers. are blamed quite generally for
the sudden rise to power Of the Federal
league, but Garry Hermann, Of the Reds,
assisted by certain quantities Of Waldorf

If Hermann had kept his promise to
Murphy, and hadn't dOuble-crossed him on
the Tinker deal, the Federal league today
perhaps would be on the point Of disband-

Hermann worked the double cross and the
National league as the result, is in mighty
bad straits.
Tinzer's action in going over to the Fed
eral league really made that organization
James A. Gilmore, president OF that league
frankly admits it, and every man CONVEX

Here is the story OF the Tinker-M Murphy
Hermann 1bbetts affair.
About the last part Of November Joe
Tinker went to the Cub headquarters and
told the secretary that he was willing to
play with the Cubs in 1914. The secretary
at once cabled Murphy, who was in Europe
telling him Hermann was going to offer
Tinker for sale at the National league
meeting December 9Th, that Tinker wanted
to play in Chicago, and that Murphy might
be able to get Tinker if he hurried back to
the United States.
Murphy jumped the first boat and landed
at the Waldorf after Ebbetts had made his

MONEY CRISIS ovER-REYNoLps.
Banker Sees Return Of 6 Per Cent In
terest on Loans.

Chicago. Nov. 1O.-"For the first time
since last August now feel that condi-
tions have so worked out that can see
light ahead, and l believe that within
a week q break in the present per in
terest rate will be experienced and
money go to per cent" said George M.
Reynolds, present of the Continental
and Commercial National bank, yester-
day He continued:
This will afford great relief, not
only to the business interests of Chi
cago and the middle west, but to bank
ers themselves. We would much perfer
general conditions to be on per cent
basis than the present one, for when
money approximates more nearly
normal rate it reflects, of course,
wider degree CT activity and wholesome
business conditions.
II can see that the people are be-
coming a little captious over per cent
money, bat withai they have been psi
ent and they have understood fully the
conditions which have brought about
and continued the high rates of interest
But however that may be the situa-
ton has changed and the banks and
commercial interests will be able to CO.
operate more comfortably, tho not more
effectively. than they have since Aug. 1.
Sentiment among the people has
changed as well as at the banks. The
former is reflected in the lessened de-
mand for money. Our loans within the
last few days have begun to run off,
This, IL continued, will put us in a
position to accommodate borrowers
more freely, and the fact that the dis
position OF borrowers to hoard credit
that Is, ask for more than they need
is passing, relieves the pressure on us.
I'm considering the period thru
which we have passed, am impressed
with the Importance OF the psychologi-
cal element. When we find we can get
what we want, our interest In secur-
ing 1t is lessened. The banks of the
country raised pool OF 100000 900 to
help our exchange and foreign trade
situation, At the time it appeared alb
solutely imperative that the gold be
raised. We raised it and now find
that instead Of needing 100000, 900
only a tenth Of the sum has been en-
ployed. The cotton pool of $135. .O00, 900
I am inclined to think will work out in
a similar way, though a fortnight
since the treasury department was
convinced that nothing short OF $780,
100000 would relieve conditions in the
south.
1--WE have reasons to expect that
shortly money will become easier in
the country and that banks there will
reduce their obligations to their re-
serve and central reserve correspond
ents. The banks doing business with
us tell us farmers have been busy in
the fields taking care Of the corn crop.
The prices for grain are attractively
high and country borrowers will prob
ably be urged by their banks to think
about repayment OF loans and such
movement will be in turn reflected at
the larger centers.

for the banks and think we shall all
be glad to experience the change which

Report That Weeehman Has Option
on Chicago Club.

Omaha, Nov. 10.-The National AS
sociation of Professional Baseball
Leagues will continue to unequivocally
support organized baseball. A resolu-
ton to that effect was adopted at the
first meeting of the association to-
day.
During the forenoon there were many
conferences. President August Herr
mann and b. Is. Johnson, of the nation
al commission joined Governor Tener
here this morning They had an en-
tended talk ut which were present sew
eral we'll known leaders in minor base
ball.
Following this meeting Johnson con-
hrmed the statement that Charles
Weeghman had been given an option
of the Chicago National League club
and that the option viii be extended to
next week. He will return TO Chicago
tonight and viii meet Weeghman on
Thursday to complete details of the
deal.
When the convention took up busl-
ness a resolution was offered pledging
the association of minor leagues to or
ganized baseball. The resolution re-
cites that an Unsatisfactory condition
has arisen In professional baseball dur
ing the last year." and that players
have been induced to disregard their
obligations to organized baseball which
has raised question In the minds Of
the public as to the honesty and integ-
rity OF ball players as a Glass;" and
concludes:
Resolved. that we. the representa-
tives Of organized baseball in the minor
leagues. at this first session of our
fourteenth annual meeting most en-
phatically and uneauivocally reaffrm
our allegiance TO organized baseball as
the ideal conception of the future pros

A roll call was demanded and there
was not a single vote recorded against

Washington, Nov. 10.-Coider wealth
er, with rain, In states infected with
the foot and mouth disease was hailed
by department Of agriculture officials
as powerful ally in their campaign to
suppress the rapidly spreading live
stock epidemic. Encouraging reports
came from some sections during the
day, but news of more affected dis
tricts caused the department to extend
the federal quarantine to include Della
ware, New Jersey and Rhode Island
and to bar cattle shipped here from
Canada.
The effect on the meat situation in
quarantine can not be estimated i'm
mediately, according to department
officials. It will depend upon whether
imports from Canada have been for
immediate slaughter or for fattening
purposes.
If most of the Canadian cattle are
brought in for fattening, the shutting
eff of imports now would have no i'm
mediate effect upon the supply and
price In this country as they would
not be put on the market until late
spring In any event. On the other
hand. if the imports have been for
