CU11S ARB AFTER JOU TINKER
Rumor. Which la Denied, Say that
Mnrphy Wants Shortstop Back.
CHICAGO, Dec, li President Murphy
ot tho Chicago Cubs said her today, on
his return from Europe, that he had
Practically concluded a deal at New
York yesterday for Joe Tinker and was
grterlcusly disappointed at the informa
tion that Tinker had been sold to
Brooklyn. Despite the failure ot the
Cub-Clnclnnatl trade, however, rumors
were rife here that the shortstop will be
found In a Chicago uniform next spring,
Ebbets purchase being simply the first
part of another trade by which Tinker
will ccme hero in exchange for one or
more Cubs and possibly some cash.
Tinker declined today to comment on
his trade to Brooklyn, pending word
from Ebbets or Garry Herrmann of the
Cincinnati club regarding hla 110,000 share
of the 125,000 purchase price and proposed
salary ot T7.5O0. Ebbets la believed to
have been Influenced In the purchase by
the hope or promise that Tinker could
be ucd as trading material with the
Cuba
A big ahakeup Is due among the Cubs,
according to Murphy. Players and
money will be sacrificed to strengthen
the team for the 1311 campaign and
plans will be made for the changes when
Manager Ever returns from Troy next
week.
NEW TOB.K, Dec. 11 "There is not
a word ot truth In the statement that
we bought Tinker to uie in a trade,"
said President Ebbets ot the Brooklyn
base ball club. "The Brooklyn club Is
not bing run from Chicago, but from
Ebbets' Held in Brooklyn. We bought
Tinker because we thought his playing
ability was a good business Investment.
Ho Is now on the Brooklyn rolls and will
undoubtedly appear In a Brooklyn uni

has been bought from Cincinnati I will
take up negotiations with him In the

last year on tho grldlon suffered greatly
because lie had taken 'port' In basket

Jimmy Gibson, who played for two
seasons on the Cornhuskcr team, and
is a regular whirlwind at tossing goals,
may be In School next semester, and
should ho decide to return, he -will bo
eligible for one mora season of tho
sport. Gibson's return would materially
strengthen the Cornhuakers and help
them retain the basket ball championship
of the Missouri Valley, which they have
held tor three consecutive years.
Gntne nt Home.
Tho Cornhuakcr schedule ha already
been partially made up and Includes
home games with Drake and Ames and
an castorn trip, during which th two
schools are met. The Huskers will also
play the Gopher two games at Minne
apolis and some ot the smaller Iowa col
leges on the eastern trip.
Coach Stlehm will keep his squad go
ing until the Christmas vacation wltn
out attempting to lino up a team, but
Immediately following the holidays, He
will work out team play. The prelimi
nary work Include practice in throwing
bankets, floor work and conditioning the
players.
Practically nothing has been accomp
lished In drafting Nebraska's foot ball
schedule so the completed list can be
given out. Coach Stlehm said today that
negotiations were delayed while arrange
ments were being mode for on more big
game. The smaller games will be ar
ranged after the big ones aro arranged
for. It is Intimated unofficially that
there may be some surprises when the
foot ball schedule la announced and that
an eastern college may bo Included In
the games, which tho Cornhuskers will
play next fall.
Meets niar Teama.
The Iowa. Minnesota, Ames and Kan
sas games are already arranged for on
the Nebraska schedule. All three
schools are under three-year contracts
and there never waa a question but what
tho Cornhuskers would meet them. It
is certain, however, the Haskell game
will bo dropped from tho Cornhusker
schedule, the experience this year prov
ing tl-at too much danger was encoun
tered In the way of injuries for the lit
tle prestige that Nebraska might gain by
defeating the In Jan a.
Except for the games played In other
college towns, Nebraska will meet all
of Its opponents In Lincoln. There 1
very little chance" of Omaha getting fc
game, the Missouri valley rule Pro
hibiting games In outside cities.
In order-that the annual Kansas-Missouri
game might bo staged In Kansas
City, the Jayhawker and th Tigers are
said to favor the repeal ot the rule, but
Chancellor Avery and the Nebraska Ath
letic board have announced their opposi
tion to altering the rule and It Is doubt
ful If the two southern schools will be
able to muster enough rules to put tbe
change through.
Towle Case Still In the Atr.
The case ot Captain-elect Max Towle,
against whom charges are said to bavo
been filed that he ha already partici
pated in three years of athletic. Is still
hanging fire. Cornhusker student are
somewhat amused at the statement ac
credited to Manager Hamilton ot Kan
sas that Bteuwe, the captain-elect ot the
Kansas squad, would be disqualified un
der circumstances somewhat similar to
Towle's case, There Is a smirking sus
picion that the whole affair was a
grandstand play of the Kansas Athletic
board. Including the election ot Detwlller
to lead the Jayhawkers next season.
Steuwe'a case is not altogether like
Towlo's, either, for the Kansas Athletic
board took officlat cognlza'nco of Jhfbaso

braska board refused to recognize thn
Nebraska nine, -
Towle'a case may bo fought out in the
athletic board this week, but Dr. R. G.

question as to Towle's eligibility. Is still
