Joe Tinker is disposing of the surplus
material of the combined Cubs ana
Whales.
Already he has cut loose seven
men and the way is open for the ros-
ter to be further reduced, making
way for men of more ability. Bob
Fisher, Polly MeLarTy and Ernie
Schorr were yesterday sent to the
Los Angeles club OF the Pacific
Coast league. ,
Their contracts with the Cubs had
expired and they were held only by
the reserve clause, which allowed
them to be dealt with.
But last season a manager was
under a severe handicap. He had to
carry a team, practically every MEM
Der of which was protected by an
iron-clad contract, and there was no
opportunity to reduce the roster and
make way for new material Bre6-
nahan several times tried to let out
some of his veterans who had be-
come valueless, but was blocked be-
cause of the wartime salaries which
the athletes were receiving.
No minor league team would as
sumo the contracts and the men be-
hind Bresnahan couldn't see it as
good business to pay the difference
between what the minors would pay
and what the contract called for.
Tinker is able to dispose OF his
people through straight sales and is
beginning with the men who failed
to do their share of the work last
year. He has been advised by peo-
ple who watched the Cubs through
the season of 1915 and knows just
about where he stands. He will un-
doubtedly make some reductions by
letting some former Feds go, but so
far has found it difficult to dispose of

Even should Bresnahan become a,
magnate it is probable he will be
given a goodly portion of the coin
his contract calls for during the next
two seasons. The paper is a tight
affair and cannot be broken by one
