GREAT SHORTSTOP

Joe Tinker Is Unfortunate
Person; Leg Removed
Just Above Knee

ORLANDO, Fla, Jan. 16-(P-
Joe Tinker Thursday lost the left
leg which helped make him one
of baseball's greatest shortstops.
The leg was removed just above
the knee in a tWo-hour operation
to stop a gangrenous condition
which set in last October. His
surgeon DR.. Duncan T. McWan
said the former Chicago Cub play
er was doing very nicely" Thurs
day night.
A tiny blister between his toes
was the cause Of the trouble and
forced Tinker to leave st. Louis
last fall where he had gone for
the World Series without seeing
a dad-gummed game."A month ago
one of the former Chicago Cubs
shortstop's toes was amputated,
but the infection continued.
The operation was performs1
with the aid of a spinal anaesthesia
due to infection still remaining
from past serious illness and
Tinker's diabetic condition, the
surgeon said.

TriippiSlips

May Sign Him
Georgia Star Heading For
Chicago To Sign Four
Year Contract
By Y TALBOT

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.- Up -
Charley Trippi slipped past the
clutching arms of the overconfi-
dent football Yankees Thursday,
stjff-armed their baseball second
airy and wound up with the Chi
cago Cardinals for what is known
in the gridiron parlance as pay
dlrt'-great, big gobs of it.
The all America half back from
Georgia. university, h years
most sought after athlete, was
heading for Chicago when last
seen, where he will sign a con-
tract for just under $1OO, 900 to
play with the Cardinals of the Ma
tional Professional league for the
next four seasons.
He and Charley Bidwill, wealthy
owner of the Cardinals, who saw
everything the Yankees had to Of
fer and then tossed a few more
blue chips on the pile, were leav-
ing on tn Twentieth Century
Limited early tonight for Chicago.
Bidwill said the contract-highest
ever offered in professional foot
ball-would be signed there either
tomorrow or Saturday.
The document will leave Trippi
free to deal for his baseball serv-
ices, and Bidwill, who is very
close to the dark, young man, said
he would recommend to Charley
that he accept an offer to hook
up with the Chicago Cubs organi-
cation. passing up other urgent
and lucrative bids from the Bos-
ton Red Sox, Boston Braves, At
lanta and Birmingham of the
Southern association, and perhaps
other clubs.
The c S, Bidwill disclosed,
would give Trippi a $40, 900 bonus
to play with their Los Angeles
team of the Pacific Coast league
next season, and then, if he
proved himself a big Lacquer and
went up to the Cubs the following
year, would dig down for another
$40, 900. They thus would match
the $50, 900 cash bonus dangled be-
fore the Georgia flash by the Red
jSox.
The ornate, skyscraper office of
the Yankees on Fifth avenue was
stepped in gloom. Trippi's decision
to go along with Bidwill, his close
friend of several years. came as
a stunning surprise, especially to
the football side o. the powerful
tWo-sport combine.
In a lengthy conference yester-
day the Yankees offered the Pitts
ton (Pa.) product a total in salary
and bonuses of sos, 900 to play
five years of football and two
years of baseball, with the stipu-
lation that after two years he
would have to choose between the
sports, dropping one or the other.
So confident were the Yankees
of closing the deal early today
that they called a press confer
ence for noon and invited the pho
tographers. But long before that
watching hour arrived Charley
had reversed his field and advised
the Associated Press he would
sign with Bidwill for "the biggest
salary in the history OF pro foot
ball-even more than Red Grange
got"
