THINKS TINKER

Hermann Says Joe Can't Draw Outlaw Money For
 Some Time.

ass Nx rFf
 President Ebbets- of Brooklyn yes- terday~ mailed a. contract to Joe rink CT in Chicago. It is understood that the terms are the same that Ebbets offered when the player was purchas- ed, a salary of $5,000 a year for three years and bonus of $10,60o. MT. Ebbets and Manager Robinson both have confidence that Tinker will eventually see the error of his ways and will return to the Dodger fold.
 President August Hermann of Gin cinnati has recently been in Chicago and he believes that Tinker does not look upon the prospects of the Fed- erals as favorabIy as he did a few weeks ago.
 According to MT. Hermann, Tfnk- er's contract with the Federals calls for $36, ,000 sfors three years. Of this amount SIS 1000 was deposited in 8 bank for Tinker, but it Is said that he will not have access to it for several months. Tinker now realizes that perhaps he should have made a better bargain MT. Hermann predicts that Tinker will be willing to come back to organized ball before the season begins. Sts Fsss @z
 President Ebbets also announced that Ed Ruelbach, the former Chicago pitcher, had signed contract for next season. The Brooklyn Club is now anxious to get the contract of John Humme1. He is spending the Winter on his farm in Pennsylvania, and al though he has been invited to Brook ryn he has not had time to accept the invitation.

 SUMMER BASEBALL

James B. Sullivan, secretary-treas- urer of the A A U., and president of the rules cOHnInittee of the Interua- tional Amateur Athletic Federation, advises those college baseball captains who are again trying to make it pos sible for an undergraduate to play risk of losing his amateur status to direct their energies into more profit able channels, for they are wishing for something that they will never, never get
 ssFor s1 years have been fighting to keep amateur and professional sport strictly apart said MT. Sullivan yesterday afternoon, tand I must ad- init that it Is somewhat discouragfng to learn that so many college men should still be in favor of allowing un- dergraduates to earn money during the summer by working as profession al ball players.
 There is no such thing as summer baseball What these young men cal, summer baseball is nothing more or les than professional ball.
 TT note that Bernard K. Rhoads, the Princeton captain, states that he can not see why man whose talent runs to baseball should not help himself through college by using that talent just as well as a, man whose abilities are more scholastic and who earns money by tutoring.
 ssThe prime object of college ath- 1etics was defeated when a, man tried to turn his athletic prowess into dol lars and cents"

BOXING NOTES

- It about time that some of s7a referees around the country, not only in the middle west, but also in tna east, severely reprimanded boxers for fouls Committed in the ring vglaien are IiHt1a1Iy claasef es Eln1fl fEti anaa During the past month or two there have been several boxers quite badly injured by being foiIed in d contest and the claim has always been raised that the foul io1oyV was an accidental one. This may be true and we hope it iss but at the same time 1T the referees were more severe with the bo2ers, it would put a stop to the practice and beneht the game in more ways than one. There are some box CTS who have a habit of hitting low whenever they are hard pressed They may do thisawith the intention of try ingato get in, a solar-plexus bloWs but in their anxiety to do so, they are not SO careful as they might be and as a result fouls are frequently committed this way. If a boxer were warned at the first attempt of such work and disqualified on repetition. he would probably be more careful in the flu ture. It is up to the refereessfo sec that the rules are more strictly en- forced regarding fouls, not only to protect the clubs. but Ito protect the boxers themselves, from being seri- ously injured. A foul fighter has no business in the ring and wherever one is caught doing anything of that kind Intentionally he should be barred for all time. However, there are few boxers who would do anything of that kind deliberately, but at the same time by being permitted to "get away with very close work, they become careless and therefore are more liable to commit fouls.

Red Sox Infielders to Make Up Losses by Federal
 Jumpers.

As a. result o6 @ conference between President Frank FaGrell of ta1e New York Yankees and President Joseph J. I1anndn of the Boston Red Sox, the New York club will probably get two or more players from the Boston team before the season opens. The Ysn- izees will probably have first call on some of the excess talent of the Bos- ton club. Manager Chance Is anxious to get inf1efders and pitchers, and as Boston is well supplied in both depart rnents. the Yaa1kees are likely to b en- eft by a deal with the Red Sox.
 The Yankees are anxious to hand a good second baseGnan. Chance had been figuring on using RolMe Zaider at second base, but now that he has jumped to the F.edeaalg the only iaa- field candidate he has is Boone If Boone can be used at second base he will have Peckinpaugn at shortstop and MaiseI at third base.
 Peckinpaugf's contract for next sea- son was received at the Yankee head quarters. yesterday. He had been ap- preached by the F'ederaas. but he sadd that he has been treated so generous ly by President Farrell that he would not consider making a change. Peck proved a valuable man for the Tanks last year at shortsbop. He had a. bat ting average of .26S, and Manager Chance predicts tfast he will improve in hitting during the coming season
