& TINKER'S FAILURE WITH EXCELLENT CUB MATERIAL DUE TO LACK OF DIPLOMACY

HIS FAILURE
Mor Handling of Excellent Material Real Reason
for Failure
y ,
rji
Says Weeghman
fUrAItOBa thill th Players' Fraternity was rcsponnlhle for the failure of tho
V CIt,cn'r( Cubs to be In tho running for tho National inguo iiennnnt rant
, eaon have been mado by former Manager Joo Tinker, now president and tnanngor
ot" tho Columbus American Association team, No doubt Tinker feels certain that
internal atrlfo was responsible for bin poor Knowing with his nil-star cast Inst season,
Z but baseball men agree that ho Is making a great mistake In nlrlng his views now
that he Is a magnate. Tinker Is In n position whero ho Is more or less dependent
' -j upon ball players of almost major Ir-nguo caliber, and ho will llnd that few of tho
men In tho Amerlcnn Association nro against the Players' Kinlernlty. This vir
tually means that Tinker, by making n llrlollc nttnek upon tho Players' Fraternity,
Will Incur tho displeasure of tho mon he must depend upon to make his new venture
c success. If Tinker lias been quoted correctly, he has mado a serious mlslnko
, In blaming tho Players' Fraternity for tho actions of a few Individuals, who prob
ably would havo been nt odds under nny conditions.
Tinker Had Wonderful Material
TTAVING had an opportunity to toko bin pick from tho wealth of malarial from
Mho Cubs of 1915 nnd his own pennant-winning Federal League team. Tinker
has no one to blnmo but himself If ho failed to pick plnyum whoso dlspoltluim
blended. Tmker has been In basbball long enough to know Hint harmony Is a
most Important factor In tho development of championship ball trams, and ho hnil
tt squad of mora than fifty high class players fiom whlrh to select his team. Ho
failed to pick the right men nnd to get results from tho nmtcilul ho decided to
retain, nnd thorofore Is entirely to blame for his own falluie Home of tho gieatcst
baseball machines In tho history of tho game havo been constructed by inanngcra
who havo taken players reputed to bo dlslurbota and by tactful handling caused
these play'crs to pull together on the Meld. Off tho Held tho men seldom wcio Keen
together nmUullqueH were foimed, but onco tho men enteied the ball park they
know Who wns boss nnd played together to win.
Tinker's Lack of Diplomacy Responsible
AN AL1I1I such ns Tinker offers does not entirely explain tho Culm' pool work,
XJL nor does It exonerate him. Ueforo tho season opened Tinker had such a wealth
of material that every manager In the National I.enguo was anxious to make a
trado with him. If Tinker had the temperament neressary for maniigerlal success
he would liavo been nblo to make tho playcts foiget thuh- personal dirfercuees, or
ho would havo traded them before tho season wns long under way, nx tho Implo
sion was gonernl that Tinker had the strongest team In the league on paper. If
Tinker brushes nwoy a few cobwebs he will remember that tho publication of a
list of Cub players on thu mnrket shortly after ho was appointed manager Included
thai names of Cy Williams, Vie Hulcr, Heinle Zimmerman, .llmmy Archer, Jimmy
Lavender nnd a few others. These players did not take lilndlv to this net by
Tinker, nor did they like the npeech ho mado nt the Philadelphia Hportlng "Writers'
banquet, during tho course of which ho stated that It was his honest belief that his
Federal League team could win the pennant without tho aid of tho Cubs. If thcio
waa ns much Internal strife In tho Cubs as Tinker claims, he has no one to blnmo
but himself for a largo part of It.
Mitchell Starts Under Handicap
NO DOUUT Tinker's Htntcment will bring forth bitter criticism from members
Of the Cub team" of 1910, and this will not mnko Fred Mitchell's path easier.
Mitchell Is starting out under a terrible handicap, and he Is extremely fortunato In
getting n two-year contract. Mitchell probably realized that ho must clean hoirs.0
after tho botch Tinker mado of the Job. nnd also knew that n winner could not ho
bulltln ono season under existing conditions. It has been said that Mitchell signed
for one year only, but such Is not tho case. As stated exclusively In tho Hvknino
Ledoku early In October, Mitchell signed bis contract at Hint time, everything
depending upon his ability to get nwny from lloiton. lie signed a two-year contrnct
after promising to destroy it nnd mention. nothing "bout the matter In mso tho
" llrovca refused to trade him, ns Haughlon and Shillings may havo objected to
Weeghman tampering with a player under contrnct with tho lloston club.
Weeghman Says Magee Is on the Market
RATHER odd that wo should bo called on tho phono by a. practical Joker who
ovofessed to bo Miller Hoggins, nnd that the Joker should claim tnnt Sherwood
IHigeO was to bo traded to tho Cardinals. Yesterday Charles Weeghman, owner of
tho Cubs, said thnt Mngeo hud been offered to him In n trade, but that ho had
turned down tho proposition. Just nbout tho snmo tlmo Percy Houghton denied
that Mngeo was to be traded Miller Hugglns loft his homo In Cincinnati to come
"East to talk trodo "with Bomo eastern owner." If Wecghmun really had an
opportunity to get Mngeo, ho evidently turned down tho offer without consulting
Manager Mitchell, as tho latter. mado nn effort to it the former Phllly star at tho
league meeting. ,.,.,
Dillon Should Be Darcy's Trial Horse
TT Mi'CSHT not bo a bad idea to match
r
flcht Dillon probably Is tho most overrated boxer in tho country and Darcy
enul.l eliminate him for all tlmo by giving
called tho "enve man," tho "thunderbolt," tho "mnrr-klller" and mnny other things
donotlng ferocity nnd fighting ability, but really never lias shown enough to bo
corlsldored a contondcr for any title. If Darcy defeats him Dillon will bo forced
out of tho limelight, while if the Australian Is bonten by tho Hooslcr light-heavy
weight let htmi fight his way up tho ladder, Just ns any American boxer docs.
Showering offers of enormous sums on tho Australian before ho has shown any
thing In this country la not going to do .tho boxing gnmo nny good, particularly it
Darcy falls to make good. Darcy's admission that Kddio McCoorty "sold out" In
their first bout In Australia, and Iluclc Grouse's statement that tho promoters
mado Him ngrco to "lay down" to tho Australian, coupled with tho mnd rush of
mlddlewelghts who want to meet Darcy, lends one to bclluvo thnt thoro might bo
something wrong with tho Impressive record mndo by tho nowcomer irr tho
Antipodes. ... , .
Boxing Fan Says Commission Is Needed
HAN'T see your argument about tho boxing game not needing n commission.
Tho fact that 16,000 persons paid ndmlsslons to witness tho boxing bouts on
Christmas Day shows that there is n need for a commission to safegunrd tho Inter
ests of the enqrmoiM following tho boxing game has attracted." This is n brief
extract 'from a, letter from a fight fan who disagrees with tho boxing comment
that appeared In tho Bveninci J-bdokk. on Thursday. Tho writer of tho letter,
which, by tho way, -was anonymous, points out thnt unscrupulous promoters will
take advantage of conditions and cheat boxers and public alike, while tho boxers
will not live up to their contracts. Ho tells of incidents wh6ra promoters cut
down the money boxers contracted for and that the boxers wero compelled to tuko
the cut or be replaced on tho bill. Numerous other tricks aro used by promoters,
according to the writer, but ho mentions no specific Incident that has occurred
within tho last year or two.
Conditions Are Different Now
OTTOW can theso things be eliminated without n boxing commission?" Is tho
-tl closing sentence of tho Interesting communication, If wo remember rightly
we said that with or without a commission the boxing gome could not flourish
long unless the boxing critics did their part nnd drovo tho unscrupulous promoters
and boxers from the city, When the Director of Public Safety took a. hand In the
game back In 1011 ho compelled promoters to pay boxers their full amount, nnd
regulated the game in other ways. It needed It then, but at the prosont tlmo there
Is no need for a commission, provldlng'the scribes do tholr part. Let the boxers
Insist upon a contract that will stand a court test and the very few unscrupulous
promoters now operating clubs In this State will And It Imposslblo to pull trlckH
such as are described by the fan. Certainly boxing as conducted In this city
during the present season could not be improved upon from any standpoint. It
generally la best to let well enough alone.
THE majority of tho promoters bidding for tho services of Los Darcy suggest
Battling Levlnsky, of Philadelphia, as tho Australian's first opponent. This Js
the- same Levlnsky who, as Barney Williams, could not got nny work In this city
& few" years ago. Barney was known as a "runner," and tho fans here guyed him
unmercifully for his Jab and run tactics. Barney was a frail youngster then, but
has filled, out and is now a rugged, shifty boxer. Levlnsky is now the real trlab
Homo ot the heavyweight ranks. He Invariably gives away weight and proves tho
trial-horse for "white hopes." And It might bo added that few of the hopes sur-
vivo the trial.
EDDIE MAHAN U mentioned as the probable coach of Columbia's football team
next fall. Tho former Harvard star says that he did not enjoy his seascm on
th& Pacific coast as an assistant to Andy Smith at California. Evidently all was
pat serene In the California camp, as both Smith and Qua Zlegler do not speak very
highly of Mahan'a coaching ability- Thaptebntend that there is too jpueh theory
and not enough common-eerise football KiMahan's ideas on coaching.

Unfortunate Illuudcriiig
The Cobb's Creek municipal course Is very
much a reality now and all prosperity la
predated for It hi the coming hcason. Most
unfortunate was tho handling of the Cobb's
Creek Golf Club, which was founded by
plajers tin re The club moro or less to)k
charge of the doings thero, ran up and down
tho back of the local golf .'lhhocl.itlon, quar
reled right lustily in Its own midst nnd
otherwise worked harm In bringing tho
courso more fully Into popular fnvor
New executives now Krace tho club man
agement who. it is hoped, will moro fully
appreciate tlio public golf situation nnd
bend their efforts nccordingl).
Thero la n clamor for another new mu
nicipal courso to ho laid out In South Phila
delphia, perhaps on League Island, nnd an
other one for tho I-'rankford district Things
are likely to shape thenibclvcs In tho com
ing season ho that these new courses for the
public will be moro than a possibility; It Is
pointed out that cities Binallcr than Phila
delphia have moro than ono public) courso
and that they nro always crowded. This
city already haH ono of tho best public
courses In tho country Now It needs golf
playgrounds In other parts of the city, nc-(-cHslhlo
to sections which would play but
llnd tho present location inconvenient
Springtime Surprises
When golfers crawl out of hibernation
this spring they will find many changes,
most of them at their favorite clubs Tho
Philadelphia Cricket Club, for Instance, has
been very busy with many of its greens nnd
holes Aroulmink has set up a most astound
ing s)stem of alps, requiring n nlco teo
carry on tho sixth driving crease Many
other traps havo been set out, with ruins
removed on the eighteenth depressions orr
the right, so the road won't get the rollers.
Finn mounds tnko tho place of the ruins.
Other holes havo also been changed so
that, they will be unfamiliar to many golf
ers beginning tho new season. Only the first
nnd tho last threo holes at Huntingdon
Valley will bo played III JI917, as of yore.
The rest ot tho course hns been changed
completely
North Hills expects to have regular piny
over Its completely shifted golf lay-out to
greet the spring drive. So tho other clubs
might be mentioned with radical changes,
all aiming at making tho courses more per
fect. This city has more than a sporting chance
to retain the professional title nnd to win
lfio open, which the pros want to battle for
nt Whltemnrsh this jenr. It would bo pie
for Jim Harnes over his own course.
In tho field of feminine endeavor Phila

finally camo to tho broad expanso of tits
Pacific. Wo had a good stiff signal prac
tice on tho gblf links after lunch and then
