"BECK'S" AMEN CORNER

NEW YORK has always been
' known as the greatest Sucker"
town in the country and the
wrestling matches" that are now
being pulled of there would indicate
that the Gothamites are still far
from being educated in sport. Pierre
La Colosse was one of the stars of
the tournament until he met the
veteran George Bothner, who threw
him easily. Pierre tips the beam at
$50 pounds and Bothner claims to
be a lightweight, though he probably
went on the mat at around $50
pounds.
WHILE daily reports are issued in
" New York to the effect that the
Giants will or will not be sold, the
Cleveland club of the American
league remains drug on the market.
Not very much of an advertisement
for the prosperity of the Sixth City,
is it?
COMMENT has been made upon the
craftsmanship which marked the
play in the army championship foot
ball game here on New Years day
and it is to be regretted that the
same spirit of craftsmanship, so evil
dent on the field, was not in evidence
in the business arrangements.

FELDMANS WILL
PLAY CLUB MEN
Cactus Unlikely to Have a
Snap in Game at the
"Y" Tonight.

Tonights games in the City basket
ball league at the Y NJ c A should be
well worth attending When the sea
son opened the Feldmans took the floor
without their regular team. but they
showed their class this week in the
game with the rejuFenated Millers-
The Feldmans go up against the
strong Cactus five in tonights game,
but the fans have an idea that the IN
beaten club team is going to strike q
real snag in the photographers.
The second game should also be a
dandy. Last Saturday night the School
Of Mines showed class against the High
school and that contest was one of the
best of the season Tonight, the Miners
will 20 up against the Millers- The
latter were weak in their first game
but since Beuten took charge Of the
team there has been a wonderful i'm
provement and the team looks to be
about on par with the Miners
The first game will start at S-15
o'clock and the league officials have
ordered captains to have their players
on the floor so that there will be no
delays.
The attendance showed a big i'm
provement last week and a still bettef
crowd is looked for this evening

TINKER COST BASEBALL S4,000.00O
HIS Il JUMP" STAR TED LEAGUE WAR
If Tinker Had Not Come in at Just the Right Time the
Federals Would Probably Have Died Natural Death
Long Ago; Other Stars Followed Him to Feds,
and Great Era of Bidding for Players Came
Hr FRANK G. MENKE.

TEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Joe Tinker
N cost organized baseball and
- Federal league magnates a sum
close to $4,000. OO0-and Joe loses
nothing.
Had it not been for Tinker's action
in jumping to the Feds in the winter
of 1913 the Federal league probably
would have died year or so ago-and
it would have died before it cost the
nagnates millions of dollars
As long as baseball lasts Tinker will
be remembered as the players greatest
benefactor and also as the costliest
player that ever trod upon baseball
diamond.
OF course, II you wish to 90 back to
the start of things you can place the
blame for the existence Of the Federal
league upon Messrs. Ebbets and Herr
mann, who gummed up things so hor-
ribly during their negotiations that
Tinker got his chance to jump.
Ebbets Makes MispIay.
Tinker ended the 1913 season as
manager of Herrmann's Reds. Garry,
however, was tired of him and wanted
10 sell him Ebbets wanted to buy
Some sort OF deal was finally put
through in the barroOm Of the Wal
dorf to the accompaniment Of popping
corks-
The price was $4,000, Hermann to
get $4,000 and Tinker to be given the
Ebbets didn't pass the $4,000 along to
Tinker right away. Charles yearned
for publicity. He had received quite
a bit of it when he agreed to pay $50
600 for Tinker. which, at that time,
was 4 record figure. So Charles just
FUSED" and fused" a bit more
Tinker was eager to sign but he
wanted the $4,000 first. He waited
patiently for that $1,000 but 1t didn
come along.
And then Joe Tinker startled the
baseball world and made" the Fed
aral league by jumping TO the Chicago
Feds He got a contract that called
for $4,000 a year for three years He
got $4,000 in cash upon signing and
his contract was an iron clad affair
Others Aped Tinker.
No one had paid much attention to
the Federal league up TO that time
But Tinker's jump gained nationwide
prominence. Other players figured
that If Tinker was willing TO take a

chance by quitting organized baseball
they could do likewise, provided OF
course, that they, too, got fancy con-
tracts
Tinker's jump TO the Feds not only
influenced other stars to jump, but it
also smOothed the magnate- finding
campaign Of James A. Gilmore Up
to that time Gilmore was confronted
with q real task in trying to interest
capital. But when Tinker jumped and
other stars aped him Gilmore rounded
I'D q half dozen wealthy men and they
threw their money into the Golfers of
the Federal league.
Then the War Began.
And then the baseball war began
in earnest The Feds bid high for the
diamond stars Of organized baseball
and organized baseball. in its efforts
many cases. Salaries of players were
doubled and tripled- And practically
each one Of the contracts with the star
players were for three year period
An average increase of around $1,000
per year was paid ny the 16 clubs in
the organized majors to about $50
ball players Practically all Of these
boosts were for a. three year period.
This means in cold figures, that the
payrolls OF the Is clubs in the Amer
lean and National leagues were in
creased 100000 per year or 100000
for three years
In addition to this. the organized
baseball magnates suffered big losses
in 1914 and 1915 due to loss of patron
age due partly to the war. The total
decrease in the receipts National and
American leagues for 1914 and 1915,
attributable solely to the war that
Tinker really started was close to
$40O 0OO The sum may have gone be-
yOnd 100000.
These figures show that the loss to
organized baseball, due to the war, was
close to $1,000. 600. The LOSSES of the
Federal league magnates probably
reach a similar figure They may go
beyond.
The minor leagues, as a whole, lost
at least $1,000, 600 because OF the war.
Four million dollars at a conserva-
tive estimate. is what Joe Tinker di-
rectly and Ebbets and Hermann, in
directly cost the club owners Which.
in the slang parlance, is quite a bulky
flock Of bills

.EPISCOPALIANS

Defeat First Methodists in
the Church League
Game at "Y."

The Church League rooters were
treated to two royal games Of basket
ball at the "Y' gym Friday evening.
The scores were a trlfle one-sided. but
the play was Of the fastest, hardest
order and there were thrills for all.
The Episcopalians proved their right
to the title Of speed merchants" as
their general allround work contin-
ually brought the rOoters to their
feet It might be said, in justice to
their opponents, the First MethOdists.
that the latter were shy one or two
good players but even with their very
strongest five the class of the boys
in green would have been too much
for them Kilburn played his regu-

out as a feature of the game. The
