Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA. January 1.-Despite
all the Federal League rumors. certain
National Leaguers are going along Sc
renely trying to make deals. Manager
Stallings of the Boston Nationals has
suggested trade to st. Louis. Stallings
offers to give up Pitcher Lefty Tyler to
the Cardinals for Infielder "Cozy"' Dolan
and Outfielder Lee Magee.
Higgins balks at the idea Of parting
with Lee Magee. and has sent a counter
proposition to Stallings Of Dola and Out
fielder Steve Evans for Tyler. Up to date
Stallings has not made reply. The Bos-
ton Braves have a gOod-siZed corps of
pitchers, but are shy on third basemen.
Stallings has been trying for a year to
get Dolan. If George sticks to it long
enough his efforts should be rewarded.
President Murphy Of the Chicago Cubs
has put eight of his players on the mar
ket. He has sent list containing the
names of these ball tosserS to various
clubs in the National League. The names
of these men are being kept secret by
those who received the list, but Bresna-
are reported to be four of the men that
the Cubs boss would like to dispose of.
Bresnahan Costly Investment.
Bresnaharf~ proved to be a very costly
investment to Chicago. He played in very
few games last season. and he is not re-
ported to. have developed any young
''phenoms'' in the pitching line for the
Cubs.
Zimmerman has been hard man to
handle. He has frequently been In trouble
with the umpires, and numerous suspen-
sions have been melted out to him. In
deed. Zimmerman got banished from the
playing field SO many times last spring
that fan offered him 500 II he would go
a certain number of days without getting
into a row with an umpire. Zimmerman
won the present, thus Indicating that 1t
sometimes pays to get bad name.
shawkey's Demand Causes Surprise.
The report that Bob Shawkey. one Of
the Athletics pitchers, called upon Man
ager Dunn Of Baltimore last week and
demanded part OF the money which he
claimed Manager Mack paid for his re-
lease from the Orioles has created con-
siderable surprise here. Shawkey. 1t ap-
pears, was notified by Dunn that no
Athletics and Baltimore when Bob came
here during the middle Of the past cham
pionship season. Dunn considers that
Shawkey Is ungrateful, as by releasing
Bob to the Athletics in midsummer the
twirler was enabled to rake in more than
81, 200 as his share Of the worlds series
money.
Shawkey's action is surprising. It is
mighty unusual for any of Mack's players
TO raise any trouble over money matters.
II Shawkey had consulted Manager Mack
he might have saved himself from MAX
ing the fruitless trip to Baltimore.
Major League Magnates Displeased.
What stirred Shawkey up in the matter
is probably the statement that Tinker
was to get $4,000 Of the money paid for
his release from Cincinnati. Major
League magnates looked with displeasure
upon that part Of the deal between the
Reds and Brooklyn. They saw In the
paving OF a bonus to Tinker q lot of
trouble cropping up for themselves when
they transferred players. Shawkey may
have got his inspiration from the stories
of the Tinker deal.
less than three months after getting his
worlds series check Shawkey should be
looking for bunch of money. Can Il be
possible that Bob has already invested
or sunk more than 3d. 200 in so short q
time?
Pitcher Ralph Glaze, formerly of SpO-
kane. Northwestern League. has been ap-
preached by directors of the Indiana Uni
versity with proposition to assume
duties as chief athletic supervisor at the
