JOE TINKER IN COLUMBUS
MAY BUY A. A. CLUB
BY Mark Shields

,
Joe Tinker is in Columbus, O., to-
day looking over the field and max
ing up his mind whether he shall buy
into the American assn. Joe has
. considerable money Of his own and
is also understood to be assured of
local backing if he needs it. The
Columbus club is held at cOmpar-
ativeIy low figure, and if Tinker does
not buy it will not be because of the
price.
In any event, Joe is certain to have
managerial job for the 1917 season
/ in some minor leagUe-if he wants
it. Memphis of the Southern league
would like to have him and an official
of that club will confer with Joe
when the latter returns from Column
bus. If Joe does not become an own
er he may listen attentiVely to the
! Southern league proposal
George Moriarty, former Tiger and
White Sock, managed Memphis last
season, quitting to take a job as
umpire in the American league.
Manager Rowland is considering
putting ban on auto driving by his
pitchers during the playing season.
! This will hit several members Of the
cUrving staff. The Sox pilot may go
farther and prohibit all his athletes
from speeding during the flag. hunt.
1t would affect about two-thirds of
the downtrodden white slaves on the
roster.
Pitchers Beebe and Penner have
been released by Cleveland to Port
land of the Pacific Coast league.
pa GiggIes that have gone from one
end of the United States to the other
were started recently when the ANA
teur Athletic union meeting in New
York decided to keep women swim
mers from competing with the male
of the species, and as a side-issue de-
coed that there must be a change in
the garb won by the lady-fsh.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-12-22

The A. A. U. highbroWs ordained
it to this effect: "AI women contest
tants in swimming events must wear
bathing suits of black texture that
covers their bodies from shoulder to
toe"
|, The giggIe is still giggIing, or was
at very recent reports. The mermaids
absolutely refused to get excited over
the advice and announced that
hencefOrth, just the same as hereto
fore, they will follow their own in
cIinations and wear the popular one
piece kind of Annette KeIermann de-
cOllete suits.
Several of the sprites declared
with a grin tucked in here and there
that to insist on women wearing
stockings in swimming events is the
funniest thing they ever heard sug-
gested.
"l'd like to take some of those
men, hang long stockings on them
and then make them swim races in
rough water" one remarked.
The women are united in declaring
that the stockings quickly become
water bags, retardlng the swimmer
and making it almost impossible to
race.
Another remarked: mo girl would
be able to achieve good time in suit
such as the officials prescribe. The
knee and foot must be free. Neither
man nor woman in the water feels at
home with any fabric clogging the
foot and legs. If the costume is in
sisted upon it will simply put an end
to women racing. But do not ex-
pect western officials to agree to
such naTTow-minded and Unneces-
sary regulations"
One woman WelI-known as a
swimmer wants to know why the A.
A. U. officials didn't suggest that the
women wear hats and shoes, too.
