MERKLE MAY BE SENT TO DODGERS
 IN LATEST DECKER

New York, Aug. 25.-Heinie Zinmer-
 man is still a Cub; Larry Doyle, Fred
 Merkle and Arthur Fletcher still
 Giants, and Gus Getz, Ed. Appleton and Wheezer Dell still Dodgers. Dur ing the past A hours Manager Tinker, McGraw and Robinson have been do- ing a heap of long-distance telephon- ing but no trade has yet gone through. A representative with the Giants in
 Pittsburgh last night wired as fol- lows:
 "McGraw arrived here this morning (Thursday) from Chicago and an- nounced that the proposed deal for Zimmerman was off as far as he was concerned. He said President Weegh-
 man wanted more players for Zim-
 merman than he could afford to give. He refused to name the men Weegh-
 man demanded in exchange, but
 among the New York players they are said to be Doyle, Fletcher, Kauff and Anderson
 Tt is likely that Hunter will play third and Herzog second for some time, and probably Merkle will be re-
 placed by Kelly or some other young ster, who is to report later. It is Me- Graw's intention to begin experiment. HE TlSilu away WltfH young players In preparation for permanent organiza- tion of his present team next spring or sooner"
 A correspondent with the Dodgers wired the following from Cincinnati last night:
 'McGraw conferres tonight with Robinson by telephone over a trade
 between the two clubs. Exact details of the deal have not been given out, but i is '-~""rstood that the Dodgers
 boss is making a determined effort to land Merkle
 Apparently Jake Daubert will be of
 no further service to the club this sea- son. He went to hit in a pinch in Chicago today, and the sprint to first
 caused him so much pain that it is not likely that he will be in shape for the
 remainder of the season.
 According to the best information obtainable, Robinson is willing to ex- change Getz, Appleton and Dell for
 Merkle. If the trade goes through 1t may effect terms of a trade which
 McGraw can offer for Zimmerman. if
 he is still bent on landing the Terrible Teuton."

BAKERS BATTING AND HOUSES FINE PITCHING WIN GAME
Special to The Farmer.


 New London, Aug. 25-The losing streak of the Bridgeport club came to an end yesterday when Healy's Hustlers took New London over the jumps by to 2. It was hard earn ed victory for the Bridgeport boys, who played snappy ball behind Houses clever pitching. The husky youngster held the Planters to six hits and after the third inning held them helpless.
 Southpaw Martin was on the rub Der for McCann's men. He had his troubles, for Bridgeport insisted on punching hits with the home clubs errors. Howie Baker was a dangerous customer. He peeled off a triple, the longest drive made on the home grounds this season, and drove in two runs with a single. Joe Briggs also made a tinrc ely poke.
 Bridgeport opened the contest by taking two tallies in the first. Blake singled and Duggan walked. Briggs sacrificed and Bakers hit brought two over. In the third Briggs singled with two down and romped home when Baker came through with a three-bagger. In the fifth the last scoring was done. House walked and Blake grounded out. Duggan got a life on Dowd's error but Briggs famed. Then Dowd fumbled Bakers grounder, House and Duggan tallying. The score:

SAY WILSON'S TC
 TAKE TINKER'S JOB
 AS CUB MANAGER

Chicago, Aug. 25-Baseball rumors spring from strange places and there is no dope so unreliable, but attention must be given them, of course. One of the newest is to the effect that President Weeghman of the Chicago Cubs and Joe Tinker, his manager, are nor in perfect accord, and that the real reason for the trade that landed Art Wilson back with the Chicago team that Weeghman plans a change in managers, with the catcher succeeding the once famous short- stop.
 The basis for the story seems to be that the swap with Pittsburgh was made lover Tinker's head" and that Joe didn't even know it was on until it had been made. Of course this Is denied, but magnates have a habit of denying things that are later prov ed true, just a persistent habit. in fact, that often denial is taken as con- firmation.
 Tinker's 'in bad' period is said to date from his foolish actions that resulted in a forfeiture of a game about a month ago-that and the fact tht his Cubs have not won as Weegh- man believes they should in the Ma tional league race.

 OF RING BATTLES

1s9O-George Contas, whose ring name is Knockout" Brown, born in Sparta, Greece. The Chicago middle weight comes of a race which was noted many centuries ago or its ath- letic and warIike prowess. or in an- cient times the Spartans were all reared to be scrappers. Brown re- turned last May from Australia, where he had spent several months. While there he was deeated on points in a 20 round bout with Les Darcy, the great Australian. The Greek gave Darcy a fine argument, however. and many of the spectators believed that he was entitled to a draw, and "booed" the decision of the referee. Brown began his ring career in 1908. and won his name of 'Wnockout" by doing so to most o his early oppon- ents. He suffered his first defeat in an important bout in 1910, when Jack Dillon bested him in 20 rounds. Since then the Greek has been a very busy boxer and has shown sufficient class to entitle him to membership in the numerous Order of Middleweight Claimants.

ORDER DILLON TO BOX IN BROOKLYN
 AS HE PROMISED

New York, Aug. 25-Jolln Weis- mantel, matchmaker of the Broadway Sporting Club and Ebbets Field, has convinced the Boxing Commission that his contract with Jack Dillon is a valid one and must be respected in any event, Chairman Wenck, after considering the evidence in the case, notified Dillon that he was a free agent as far as the Washington Park Club was concerned and that he could fulfil his contract with Weismantel.
 It now remains for the Ebbets Field promoter to find an oponent for Dill lon for bout in the open air on the night of Thursday, Sept. 1, and an offer will be made to the winner of the Cox-Moha battle.
 The action of the commission fol- lowed a long dispute between the rival promoters. Weisnantel, in his own behalf, exhibited a contract signed by Murbarger, in which Dillon obli- gated himself to box three times in the open air for Weismantel. His plan had been to match Dillon with Moran, but as the rival managers got Moran's name to contract, Weis- mantel withdrew his claims and gave his consent to Dillon boxing at Wash ington Park.

WILLIAMS LOSES BY
 BY DEFAULT TO
 YOUNG WASHBURN

Southampton, L. l.; Aug. 25-Rich- ard Norris Williams, 2d, withdrew from the invitation tournament at the Meadow Club yesterday rather than risk injury to his weak ankle in what promised to be a hard match with Watson M. Wash burn. The latter thereby went into the semi-final round after having played only one match in the tournament. The other semi final round brackets were taken by Joseph J. Armstrong of Philadelphia, Roland Roberts of San Francisco and William J. Clothier of Philadelphia.
 Armstrong advanced by defeating the Harvard player, Richard Harte, at 6-3, 6-4, and will play Washburn today.
 The withdrawal of Williams was not expected: The former champion has been going far from his best form dur ing the three tournament matches (which he has played, and he feared to try his ankle in hard match. The previous matches die not present for naidable possi bilities, and Williams felt that he could get necessary prac- tice by competing. Washburn, how ever, promised a hard contest, and Williams decided that the risk of fur ther injury, which might jeopardize chances in the national championships at Forest Hills next week, was not worth while.
 Play yesterday afternoon was over shadowed by the interest in the ar rival of Maurice F. Mclaughlin. The Coast star, after defaulting his tourna- ment match, promised that he would come here the last of the week for practice and said that he might com pete in an exhibition match. He ar rived shortly after noon and appeared to be in fine condition.

WOLGAST CLAIMS
 WELSH WILL WIN OVER WHITE EASILY

New York, Aug 25.-Ad Wolgast doesn't give Charley White much of a chance to beat Freddie Welsh in that twenty-round bout on Labor Day at Colorado Springs.
 'In sizing up a probable winner of the coming battle between Welsh and Charley White, I decidedly and with out hesitation select the Englishman as the winner. On this point I can't got. wrong Both are products of Great Britain, but the man I am picking is the veteran Freddie Welsh, the careful, crafty ring general.
 After figuring everything down to a small fraction I have doped things out that Charley White of Chicago has just one chance in every round of becoming champion. Whites chance is to come out of his corner in the beginning of every round and land that left hook. It's a cinch that Welsh will have brains enough to step aside and let the blow pass But anyway, that is the only chance White has.
 'I have fought Welsh on two differ ent occasions and have the greatest respect in the world for his ability.
 HEnCS I have been able to secure a very good lint on his ability. I have also battled Charley White. The occa- sion of our meeting was in a Mil waukee ring. I went into that battle with two bad hands Every one had told me to be careful of the knockout king, but even with the great handicap of two bad hands, I managed to gather the majority of newspaper verdicts. I just stayed carefully away from that deadly left. The rest of Whites punches were not dangerous.
 ''The big reason for picking Welsh to beat White is the fact that White is not aggressive enough. It takes a world of aggressiveness to become a champion. To win a championship a boxer has to keep on top of the other fellow from the start to the fin iSh."

Shortly be- fore he landed in the Johnson circuit Mitchell set up worlds strike-out record, twenty-one men, in a game he pitched for the Bronchos against Galveston. Willie has twirled some mighty good ball for Detroit, and Fohl has been banned for letting him go.
