ago George, then manager Of major
league team, fixed up a deal whereby
he was to have the pick, at the end
of the season, OF any man on the Pat

the season he journeyed to the Jersey
town and looked over the athletes ca
vorting on the green.
Stallings decided to take an infelder
named Heidrick, graceful, 1.-the
limbed athlete.

said the manager of the Paterson club,
but IL I were in your place I'd take
the fellow Wagner. He's diamond in

stallings took one long look at the
clumsy, awkward person named Wag-
Say. that guy is too clumsy to even
mind the bats" said Stallings. HE
might do in the minors, but he'll never

Olympic Committee Asks Partici-
pant Countries to Share e.
penses for Training Camps.

II ERL1N, Jan. 24.-The German
u Olympic Committee. in its e.
forts to solve the problem of
quartering the hundreds of athletes
who will compete here in 1916. has
evolved the plan of offering private
training camps to those nations which
will bear a proportion of the expense
necessary for the building of thsss
quarters.
In order that the teams OF the va
rious countries may reside in the de-
sired seclusion, with their own cooks
and training tables and with an ath-
letic field adjacent. the committee has
secured large plot of land in the
Grunewald pine forest, almost at the
doors of the Stadium and is now an
preaching the participant nations
with an offer to pay portion of the
cost of erecting and furnishing the
housese, and its help in disposifg Of
them after the games
1t also offers to place at the dis
posal of such countries as do NOT
care to incur the expense of building
special clubhouse portable barracks
in which the competitors can be
housed during the games. Sweden
has already decided to take advantage
of the proposal and will erect char
acteristic Swedish country house

committee, who for several months
has been vainly looking for q good

outside of town and yet easily Access
sible, and with accommodations for
from 100 to $50 athletes, which hs
was instructed to engage, has inter
rupted his search, thinking that the
committees plan may offer just tns
accommodations desired by ths
American committee.
The committee is rapidly arranging
the many details incidental to the
games of 1916 and removing various
causes of friction among local and
international bodies.
Disputes between the German
Olympic Committee and the German
Turner Guild relative to the pro-
gram have been amicably adjusted
and the guild is now an enthusiastic
supporter of the games.

have become naturalized in the mean
time.

ISN'T it odd how certain little Incl
dents will cause a startling shift
in opinion?
Take the case of Joseph Burt Tin
ker, for instance. At the time Garry
Hermann, boss" of the Reds, placed
him on the auction block a large num-
Der of baseball club owners lost their
equilibrium and several other arti-
flcial possessions in the mad scramble
for the said Mr.. Tinker
All the organized magnates, at that
particular period, figured that Tinker
was one Of the most valuable short
stopping persons in captivity. Pitts
burg wanted him, so did Philadelphia.
The st. Louis Cardinals longed for
Tinker with a fervent longing. Ditto
for Brooklyn. A half dozen Ameri-
can League teams wanted Tinker, and
would have injected themselves into
the battle for Tinkers services had
they felt there was a chance Of land
ing him. But there wasn't. Tinker
was on the auction block, all right,
but only National Lea guers' bids were
recognized.
Hermann, the proud and naughty
owner Of Tinker, assured the popu-
lace ever and anon that Tinker was
one of the greatest ball players in
these United States. G. Holiday Eb-
bets, president of the Brooklyn club,
agreed with the Ohio River resident,
and finally annexed the aforemention-
ed Tinker gentleman after agreeing
to the "nicking" of the Brooklyn
bank roll to the extent of $4,000.
Joy Percoiated In Ebbets' Bosom.
And then joy percolated in the
bosom of Mr. Ebbets. He lifted his
voice to the siren pitch in trying to
tell everyone on this hemisphere the
harpooning of Tinker made it certain
Brooklyn would grab the 1914 Ma
tional League bunting.
Tinker is worth twice what l paid
for him." bleated Ebbets.
Up rose Frank Farrell, owner Of
the New York Americans,
Tinker Is a wonderful ball player,
has wonderful skill in Transforming a
mediocre infleld into first class
combination and easily is worth
$4,000" asserted Farrell.
A short period later Tinker Topped
the-loop and landed in the outstretch-
ed net of the Federal League anglers.
And then, in the twinkling of an OPP
tic, the organized baseball crowds
idea as to Thinkers worth skidded off
about 80 44-100 per cent.
Taking it from the statements be-
ing made here and there these days
by the organized persons, Tinker Is
about through as a major league per
former Tinker so we are Informed
Just now, is trouble maker, his
habits are not of the best, he has a
spawn, is a sufferer from st. Vitus
dance, has eight or nine broken bones
in his throwing arm, will be a detrl-
ment instead Of an aid to any team OF
which he is a member, and ought to
be in Jail.
Again we ask-isn't 1t odd how GER

lor Club. Eddie Oswald, aged Is, act
ed as manager. o..
At the end of the 1895 season an
amateur team known as Hagan's
Tailors wanted the services of Tin
ker. Tinker wouldn't jump to their
team until he'd been given permits
sion by young Oswald. Tinker and
Oswald talked the matter over at
great length, and they decided that
it would be a good plan to sell Tin
ker's services to the Tailors.
We'll go fifty fifty on what / get
out of the sale" Oswald assured Tin
ker.
Oswald set a price of IS on Tinker.
The Hagan's Tailors decided that the
sum was exorbitant. After much
dickering and much consultation con-
corning the funds in hand, the Tailor
gang offered Oswald $3.50
That's all the money we can scrape
together" they told Oswald
Oswald ran back to where Tinker
was waiting.
How much did they offer?" quizzed
Tinker, before Oswald could get his
breath back after his sprint.

Tinker ruminated bit.

Nope; sill they got responded Os-

The Spectator says: I'VE may as

the lack Of this sport at Columbia be
