INKER-EBBETS SQUABBLE STARTED BASEBALL WAR AND CUBS HOPE TO GET REVENGBT
TINKER HOPES TO SETTLE
-OLD SCORE WITH EBBETS
' IN SERIES WITH BROOKLYN
ub6; Will Give Dodgers Harder Battle Than
H Other Western Teams and Phillies Should
Gain on Robinson's Team
JO TINKER, manager of the Chlcato Cuba, has been waiting sinco the winter
fit MIS to square an oM score wllh Owner Charlea Kbbeta, of tlie Brooklyn
twt, and he believes the time It ripe to land a body blow to the pennant hopes
la cherishing. If the fans will brush up their memories a bit wey may
n v,e a murM ttrn Tinlior and rrbbeta c&vo the Federal ixsague a
nice, to expand to such on extent that It became recognlxcd as a third major
, thougfc there are eomo who nun claim u never was n major icubuf.
" -. But the facis ef the case follow: Joe Tinker had been a falluro ns man a per of
thi Rede in the opinion of Clarry Herrmann and he placed the famous shortstop on
the market. Kbbets, who had been looking for a shortstop ever since Dill Dahlcn
ru traded to the Giants In 1808 (and he still is looking for one), purchased Tinker's
release. Kbbets Immediately started claiming the pennant, as usual, when Tinker
hustled into New York, where the rnagnntes had pothered, and made known his
ttemanda.
At ilrst Tinker Insisted that he would not play with the Dodgers under any
ondttlons. but finally agreed to sign if he got the salary he wanted and a bonus,
stfebets believed he had Tinker at his mercy and politely told him to take what
was offered or quit the game. Ebbeta probably would have got away with his
ttKlmatum If it had not been for the fact that Jim Ollmore. president of the Feds,
bad Just succeeded in digging up a few capitalists, including the late K. B. Ward
and Charles Weeghman.
White Ebbets and Tlnkor were exchanging compliments, Ollmore, Ward and
Weeghrean;TeaUxed tyat a grand opportunity was at hand, and before the baseball
populace knew what was happening Joo Tinker was the manager of tho Chicago
Federal League club. The Feds had given Joe a large bonus for signing, de
posited hla three years' salary in bank and promised him still more If he could
Induce other players to Jump.
Ebbets and Tinker at AVar
JUST at this time Charley Herzog was appointed manager of the Reds, much
to the disappointment of Otto Knabe, who expected and was entitled to tho
position. Tinker found Knabe a willing listener and he also Jumped. All this
amused the magnates until they paw stars Jumping every day and learned that the
Feds had sent anagent abroad to meet the All-Nationals and All-Amerlcans, who
were touring' the world with Comlskcy and McOraw. '
When the boat carrying the all-sar teams arrived In New York there was
ome merry bidding for the stars, which sent Trls Speaker's sntary up to tho
$10,000 a year mark and caused troublo in more than ono ball club. Among those
who had takefi'tho trip and Jumped to the Feds was Mike Doolan, and others
quickly felt in line, a
Before long the War-was on in earnest and Joo Tinker was blamed for It all,
but when peace finally was made Tinker was welcomed back, into the fold (by
every one but Ebbets) as manager of the Cuba under Weeghman. Ebbets never
forgot his spat with Tinker In the Waldorf-Astoria nor tho things that were said
during the war, and he was the first magnate, manager or scrlbo to declare Tinker ,
a. failure thts season.
Tinker claims that Ebbets started the rumor that he was to bo released after
this season becauso he had forfeited a gome before flvo 'innings had been played
and with a record crowd on hand. No doubt Ebbets did start the rumor, as he
does not attempt to conceal his dislike for Tinker, but if the forfeiture of a game
caused a manager .to forfeit his position, Bevcral of our great managers would bo
la some other business now.
Anything to Beat Dodgers Is tub Slogan
WHETHER there ie any truth to the story that Ebbets started the rumor that
has made -things very unpleasant for Tinker has not been proved satisfactorily,
but the facV remains that the Cub manager declares he will ntjt the Dodgers out
of the race. Tinker does not care which team wins, as he has no choice but ho
does claim that trie Cubs will upset the Dodgers Just to peeve Ebbets.
Just haw Tinker llgures upon boating Brooklyn Is beyond us, as ho surely
cannot do It with tho team he had on the Held on Saturday, Perhaps he will have
his cripples back In shape and will have Jim Vaughn, Claudo Hendrlx and Jim
lavender primed for Robinson's team. If It turns out that way the Cubs may
' kelp the Phils, but otherwise Brooklyn is not going to have much trouble.
One must give Tinker or Owner Weeghman great credit for the attempt to
give Chicago another National League winner. At the present time the Cubs are
carrying forty players, half of whom aro recruits, and Tinker uncovered one lad
en Saturday wjio made a great impression on local fans. The youngater was
Arthur Shay, the Dorchester chum of "Whitcy" Witt, and who was to have Joined
the Athletics at Jacksonville next spring. .
Manager Mack neglected to sign Shay to a contract and Tinker picked him up
Kt St. Johnsbury, Vt, where Witt made his reputation-. Shay handled everything
that came his way cleanly In the second game Saturday, made two clean singles
out of four times at bat and showed great speed. It Is apparent that "Chuck"
Wortman. the 122.500 beauty, will have a nght on his hands to keep this lot pick-up
from earning the regular position at short next spring.
Moran Now Has Ideal Batting Order
JUST because the Phillies outplayed the lifeless Cubs In Saturday's double header
is no proof that Manager Moran has found the proper remedy to prevent a
waste of base hits, but we believe that he has taken a step that should have been
taken many weeks ago when It was apparent that Dave Bancroft was not going
to return -to his 1916 batting form. Bancroft In the seventh position in tho batting
erder was useless, and the excellent execution of tho hit-and-run play by Luderus
and Whitted's ability to get over to third with one out availed the champions
ctething, as Bancroft could not bring the run over.
If Bancroft would listen to Moron ho would bo another Kceler, or at least an
eher Huggins, one of the type tho opposing pitchers fear and for whom the do- ,
fense cannot play. Moran wants Bancroft to hit natural and to bunt, chop and
place the ball, but the brilliant little shortstop cannot seem to forget that the right
fteid fence id close. He tries to pull balls on the outside of the plate Into right and
has not the strength to do it
Saturday's double-header should prove an excellent lesson to Bancroft, as he
got three hits by using his brains and speed. Two were perfect bunts, while the
, ether was a well-placed tap through short on a hit-and-run play. The pitch was
on the outM'iuid Jtecroft hit natural Instead of trying to pull tho ball around
tato right. JM
The placing of Mehoff in the seventh position .was not dono as a demotion,
but to utilize some of Bert's long drives. Nlehoff hits more line drives to the out
Seiders than any man on the team, and hitting seventh they will serve as sacrifice
Mh whereas, they seldom count for anything when ho Is batting second. Nlehoff
MU 'drive home Whltted, Cravath and Luderus many times before the season
i ana runners wno reacn intra wun one out wiu score more rrequentiy.
If the Athletics are as weak as some people would like to believe, we wonder
way It is that Detroit, a team battling for the pennant, is having so much trouble
winning from Mack's youngsters. It Is becoming apparent that Mack is making
great headway with his plans Just now and another season may bring startling
results. The "western pennant contenders are going to find the Mackmen hard to
beat oa this last trip-
An evening contemporary suggests that a trade of Bert Nlehoff for Bruno
bseL of the Cardinals, would help the Phillies. It would helD Just about m...k
the White Sox could gain by giving Eddie Collins for Otis Lawry, and we don't
thtak NWio Is a Collins.
All good hitters lose a great number of hits by sensational fielding of the op
paring team, because they are hitting drives that are difficult to handle, but we
cannot reeaH 4a'g a stayer with the 'poor luck Milton Stock has in this respect
If Mock had got even a fair' break this season he would be so far ahead of Daubert,
Chase, Hornsby and Wheat that the batting championship would be clinched for
Use UtUe fellow.

Joe Welling, the Chicago lightweight who
has been In the running for Fred Welsh's
scalp for two years although he has never
had the plcanuro of chasing the lncllli
man In the ring, will mako his first ap
pearance In Phllly tonight. lie will pair
off with Sammy llobldeau In the wind-up at
the Olympia A. A., and. In meeting Sam,
Welling will go out of his class, as Hobby
has developed Into a full-fledged welter
weight. Since becoming famous with his fists.
Welling has been boxing In and around
New York. Ills bout havo proved him to
be a good puncher and a dangerous man
during his stay In the ring. Joe's last two
matches were with Johnny Dundee nnd
Jack Brltton. Especially In his match with
the Scotch Wop did Welling conlnce fight
followers of his scrloui Intentions to brng
the lightweight crown back to America and
the Windy City. Dundee knew that he
was In ten rounds of terrific battling, and
Dundee, as the fans know. Is no slouch,
by any means.
Johnny Moloney gets back Into profes
sional competition In the third bout and he
will meet a perfectly good set-up in Tommy
Allen. Young McUovern nnd Joe Tuber
will settle tholr Philadelphia bantam supre
macy In the semi.
Jamison Didn't Conquer
Tommy Jamison Ih not ready yet for
major bouts with real big-league boxers.
This was proed Saturday night at tho Na
tional, when he tried and failed to caress
Joe Azexcdo's chin with hls'terrlflo south
paw wallop, with the fond hope of spilling
the rugged Portuguese. Tom did crash
Azevedo's Jaw soveral times with his hay
maker and staggered Sir Joseph, too, but
he didn't possess tho stamina to follow up
hla slashing slams. The, result was that
Asevedo distributed a legitimate and Im
pressive lambasting over tho Phlladelphlan's
anatomy. Joe's victory was Impressive, In
somuch as It Impressed the spectators, and
left red Impressions on JamUon's stomach,
kldpeys, mouth, noBe and eyes.
Johnny Best was another battler who was
handed a fine lacing, Al Nelson doing the
trick nlfttly and nicely. Although the re
puted English champion had never ap
peared In America before, wiseacres In
local fistic ranks were around, propheslzlne
a knockout-defeat for Neleoasy Al didn't
box Best: he outfought him "at his own
game, and today the Italian admits he Is
the featherweight champion of England.
Johnny Kilbane, Actor
Johnny Kilbane Is a good boxer, other
wise he wouldn't bo sporting the feather
we ght laurels, and reports from Baltimore
state that the Clevolandor is j'ust as good
an actor. Kllly Bhowed behind the foot
lights in the Monumental City last week,
and starting this afternoon at the Troca
dero Theatre. John P. Kilbane, actor, will
do h!i second week's turn of a four-week
theatrical engagement.
No, Kllbane's sketch Is not of the reg
ular kind: neither Is It entirely of boxing.
Johnny, wo understand, does a fine mono
logue beforq a sparring stunt. In Balti
more he lauded Kid Williams as a wonder
ful little battler and made a big hit. We
wonder what Philadelphia boxer Kilbane
will boost so that Phlladelphlans will think
that Johnny P. Is a regular actor fellow.

PENN MAY PLAY
VINC0ME ELEVEN
NEXT SATURDAY
Polwell Now Arranging
Practice Game With Team
of Former College Stars
By NEIL MATHEWS
(Captain University of Penna. Football Team.)
LANGHOUrfE. Pa., Sept. 18, Penn
started real hard work this morning and,
the football men went through a strenuous
practice Most of tne time was spent on
howdefenslve work. Coach Folwell teaching
the backs the proper way to Interfere for
the man with the ball and showing- them
how to block. While this was going on
Line Coach Wharton took the Una men
to another part of the field and put them
through a few stunts.
Tho game Saturday did not show very
much to Folwell and It Is likely that an
other will be played at Franklin Field next
Saturday. The Vlncomo A. C, of West
Philadelphia, a 'team composed of former
college stars, will be asked to come out
to gle the varsity some practice which
Is needed ery much at this time. Ruekauft,
who played on Penn last year; Hip Reed
and Pud Day. of Muhlenberg: Smith, of
P M. C.J Schwarts and Dick Diamond, of
Lafayette; Stoele, of Washington and Leo,
and Phil Barry, of State, will play with
Vlncome, and they should put Up a hard
battle.
During tho nrst week of practice little
was dono save getting acquainted with the
new coach. We ran through signals every
day, had drills on the rudiments of the
game, but outside of that nothing was ac
complished. However, this Is the usual
thing when the team gets together for early
practice, and something will be doing from
now on.
The one thing I have noticed and It
will help the team considerably; la that the
players have more confidence now than at
any other time last season. We aro ab
sorbing Folwell's enthusiasm, and that In
Itself is enough to win games. Folwell In
one week has proved to all of the men that
ho knows football, can teach It and that
he Is a real leador. We obey him without
question and it Is a pleasure to cdrry out
his orders.
Sidney Thayer, quarterback on the fresh
man team last year, reported today and
got Into the practice. He looks good and
probably will make the regulars hustle for
their Jobs. Hennlng Is expected in a day
or so, and Nelll, the other guard, Is In
Philadelphia. Thomas looks very good, and
It wouldn't be at all surprising to see him
In one of the Uhe positions.
The team now needs lots of hard work,
and we will get It The opening game with
West Virginia will not be an easy one, and
It is up to us to be prepared. If Vlncome
can give us a hard battle, it will do the
players all kinds of good, as the squad Is
small and scrimmage work Is necessary.
The practice this afternoon was hard,
defensive work again taking up most of
the time.

WOMEN TENNIS
STARS PLAY FOR
DISTRICT TITLE
Large Entry List for City
Championship at Phila
delphia Cricket Club
With nn entry list of more than thirty
players In singles alone, the annual tennis
tournament for the women's championship
of Philadelphia and district In singles and
doubles and mixed doubles will begin this
afternoon, on the turf courts at the Phila
delphia Cricket Club, St. Martin's, the scene,
earlier In the year, of the women's national
championship.
The singles start this afternoon at 2:30,
the doubles tomorrow afternoon, nnd the
mixed doubles on Wednesday afternoon.
The entry list In women's doubles and
mixed doubles Is unusually large, and
among the men entered for the mixed are
some of the leading racquet wlelders ot the
city.
The entries In singles Include Miss Doro
thy Dlsston, Mrs. Gilbert Harvey, In
dividual champion of the Women's Interclub
League and holder of the Philadelphia In
door title ; Miss Clara Chase, Mini Gertrude
Hollls, Miss Sarah Nellson, Miss Emily
Kennedy, Miss E. G. Osthelmer, Miss Mar
garetta Myers and Mrs. H. II. Smith. Miss
Susanne White, of Baltimore, holder of the
Delaware State championship, will In all
llkeljhood competo In the event for the
Philadelphia crown, now worn by Miss Alice
Cunningham, of tho Longwood Cricket Club.
Although Miss Cunningham has not sent
In her name. It Is generally believed that
she will be on hand to defend her title
against the winner of the tournament next
Saturday.
The tennis committee of the Philadelphia
Cricket Club will handle the event In the
same efficient manner It has run off the na
tional championship for years. Umpires
and linesmen will be provided for every
match, and some member or members of the
committee will always be near to settle any
little question or decide nny Intricate point
In the rules.
The most Important matches .each day
will bo staged on the court directly In front
ot tho main clubhouse, where It has been
the custom for years to decide the final and
championship rounds for tho national title.
Miss Cunningham won the singles at the
Gormantown Cricket Club last year by play.
Ing through a fast field nnd then downing
Miss Marlon Creswell, of the Philadelphia
Cricket Club, then the tltleholder, In the
challenge round. There will be no chal
lenge round In women's doubles nnd mixed
doubles, but the winners last year, It they
pair up again, must play through the tour
nament to retain their honors.
Mrs. W. P. Newhall and Miss E. a. Ost
helmer, of the Gormantown Cricket Club,
hold the doubles championship.
TUb possibility, or probability, depend
ing upon whether yovi live in Detroit.
Boston or Chicago, of seeing Ty Cobb In
another world's series brings up a number
of Important details.
There first of all would be the advance
guessing as to Just how hard Ty would
assault the ball In such a circumstance,
for the great hitters of the game are not
always the star performers In the big
October show,
John Franklin Baker, aa a matter of
record, was one of the excesalvely few top
notchcrs who continued his pace, with some
thing tacked on, when the closing smear
arrived.
Ty In the old dnvR -was not able to go
very far ngalnst Cub pitchers when Brown
and Overall were at their best Ho did
better In the Pittsburgh engagement, his
last stand, seven years ago.
But world series glory Is seldom t the
.Batting Eye. In Hit Hank Gowdy drove
Baker and Collins on tne reservation wun
a mark above .400. In 1915 popular atten
tion was fixed upon the mighty artillery duel
between Trls Speaker and Cactus Cravath.
But when the outlying precincts had been
heard from, one Duffy Lewis was leading
both anywhere from 160 to 200 points.
But one tidy or Tydy point about Cobb
Is that he makes a great story If he hits
and a greater ono If he doesn't hit. Either
way he Is sufllclent feature to keep the
animals well atlrred, up.
Tho Turning Tiger
Sir Speaking of the worm turning, so
will the Tiger If you twist his tail sum
clently. Which reminds mo of what I started
out to say: Watch Princeton even up a
good part of the count this fall ngalnst
Yale and Harvard. Watchful waiting will
provo I am right. Nassau II.
Why Not? , '
This dope Just at present looks to bo rea
sonable enough. Speedy Rush proved last
fall that ho was n high-grade Instructor
and leader. That one year's experience
Bhquld mean more than a trifle, and wltn
the material ho has In sight Princeton has
the best chanco at a double victory she
has known for a span of years.
Haughton has the chance for a good
backfleld with his freshman stars. Bond,
Flower and Casby. What the lino will be
Is another affair. Yale has a line system
starting undor Jones and Sweeney, and a
hustling leader In Cupid Black, but Yale
material Is another affair.
But football being football, with memo
ries of that Yalo-Prlnceton contest left over
from last fall, there Is no crying need for
any rush of prophecy just yet j
As for Hunches
In the way of the standing broad hunch,
we havo a kinked Idea that If Alexander
and Cravath are permitted to partlclpaU
In another world series their 1915 status
will be somewhat changed.
Alex will be another pitcher, although he
did fairly well a year ago, and Cravath
will provide a good bit more annoyance
In tho small Phllly field.
But then, there are a Mr. Robinson and
a Mr. Stalllngs who aver the pair referred
to never -vjlll get a cnance io prouuua mo
come-back briefly suggested.

In valient hope that thlt will wint
But if, by chance, we come to oil,
,r rtutu no auura as a etltl.
But rather, with -a stouter heart,
That sees no reason to despond,
Wo gather for another etart
Againtt the day that wait$ leyoni.
To know the price U not our creed
For we have found rewards will wail
Somewhere some time above our ntti Jl
as lonp ae we can jace our 'ole
With unbowed head without a tcar-
Repardleet of the goal at ttaJte,
With eoule that have ornoKen t.n
And heart that Ucaven couldn't drrot !

$20
for Custom
Tailored Suits
and Overcoats;
Nothing cheap about them
but the price, and we've been
twenty years learning how
to make 'em at this price.
Our $20 suitings are the
most beautiful autumn fab
rics you ever laid eyes on,
and bur tailoring (forget the
price!) is absolutely the best
to be had.
These arc the clothes the
young fellows aro ordering
the chaps with a social sea ,
son to think about men who
can't afford to be bamboozled!
into readymades.
Our prices range froraVI
$10 and $18.50 up to $35 J
for suits and overcoats, but
$20 has the caU this season.
