Tinker-to-Evers-t to- Chance. the
most famous infield combination
baseball ever knew, Is now but a
name TO a new diamond generation.
But the old-timer and the not-so-
old-timer there can never be an
other double-play combination
quite SO wonderful as the Three
Terrors OF the Chicago Cubs.
Though Tinker and Evers and
Chance were alike In being triple
stars and the idols Of the Windy
City. fate has dealt differently
with them.
Frank Chance Is dead.
Johnny Evers is making e sort Of
baseball comeback as assistant
manager of the Boston Nationals.
Joe Tinker is a wealthy Floridian.
During the boom several years
ago Tinker was said to have be-
come a millionaire through success
ful real estate operations, The
deflation may have lessened his
fortunes. but he still has plenty TO
keep the wolf from the door. He
lives in Orlando.
Tinker was one or the National
leagues greatest shortstops. He
was a mc ior unit in the great Cub
machine which rolled up pennant
after ptnnant In Cnicago's halcyon
baseball days.
It was Joe Tinker who helped
Johnny Evers complete the famous
play aginSt Merkle. when the New
York infielder failed to touch sec
ond and was called out. forcing a
playoff Of the game and eventually
costing the Giants the flag.
I knew Tinker back in the day5
when he was playing with the
Hogan-Taylors. q Kansas City in
dependent club. and I was first
basing for the May-Sterns. another
X. Q club. Tinker always was a
smart ball player and IL wasn't
long before his ability was recog-
ni7ed and he was on his way up.
Many fans and sports writers
used TO wonder why Tinker, who
rated just fair az a batter. could
hit Matthewson with 81 much sur
cess. III tell you why. Joe got
several hits Of Matty when he first
faced the Giants pitching ace. and
Ttnker's drives beat Christv out az
2 counle Of games. After that. Joe
felt he had the Indian sign Oh
Alatty. and McGraw's great pitcher
may have felt the same way. for
Tinker in one season won five
games from New York by his indi-
vidual hitting and IN four " them

POOR MAN MAKES \ SMALL FORTUNE
 IN TEXAS LEASE

Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction in the oil fields. Tn 1890, J. M. Grace, mining en- gineer, bought 32O acres of land in West Texas for 10 cents an acre. He did not consider it worth paying taxes on but thru some oversight it was not listed nor sold for delinquent taxes. When the Taylor-Link pool was opened recently in Pecos county it was found that the engineer still owned the valuable land. Af- ter long search Grace was found running all ice cream stand ! in a suburb of Los Angeles. He sold his land for $16,OOO cash but retains royalty interest

AL rDusTYe COOKE

ST. PAUL, Aug. 26. A Damon and Pythas friendship of the base ball diamond which has endured through two seasons of minor league play, is destined to con- tinue in the majors.
 Al Dusty" Cooks and Ben Chap man, who came to St. Paul from the Asheville team of the South Atlantic League, will step into the big league together next fall. Both belong to the New York Yankees and will be recalled at the end of the season.
 They are roommates and insep- arabic companions off the ball grounds. They were even close together in the race for honors in the association.
 Cooke, an outfielder, and Chap man, third baseman, as a pair have been the batting sensations of the American Association.
 Cooke led the league in hitting for Il straight weeks. Most of the time he was batting around .38O and twice passed the 400 mark. Chapman has been leading the circuit in runs and in hits for most 1 total bases.
 For a time the St. Paul twins monopolized the league home TUT race.
