President Ebbets of Brooklyn is
trying to pull off a stunt now that
would save the major magnates
much worry if he had attempted it
about two months ago. When he Sc
cured Tinker from Cincinnati he
made loud talk about $4,000 bonus
he would offer the Fed manager, and
also spoke generously of $500
contract.
But Ebbets never showed up with
that wealthy bonus, and Tinker was
never Ocered more than $4,000 a
year to become a private. Conse-
quently he leaped over to the third
league.
And that started the other athletes

Jack Fourier will be a member OF
the White Sox squad the coming sea-
son. He received a contract yester-
day at his home in Tacoma, Wash,
and Immediately started it back for
Chicago, with signature attached.
The terms were not given out, but
it is probable the French lad was
handed an increase.
Eddie Cicotte, whose pitching was
a feature of the Sox work last sum-
mer, has not yet signed contract,
but little trouble is anticipated in get
ting him into line. In fact, there has
yet been no conference with the De-
troiter, and few minutes converse
ton should serve to clear away the
clouds. Cicotte will get raise, to
which he is entitrled.
All baIIpIayers are superstitious,
and Eddie believes he can do better
work for the Sox than for any other
team. With the Boston Red Sox he
became known as hard luck pitch
er, and could not shake his tinx,
though his pitching was just as eff
cient then as it was last season.
As soon as Eddie came to the
South Side he began to win games,
even with a team that was weak Of
fensively. He finished among the
first four beavers in the American
League, rated on number of runs
earned per game off his delivery.
Whether they jump or not, ball
players are finding the Federal
a great help. Jack Knight, former
member of half a dozen big league
teams, was shifted to Toledo by
Clveland. Jack threatened to jump
if he was sent to the minor league,
so President SomFs of the Maps sent
him Cleveland contract, calling for
a big league salary. Jack signed it.
