Joseph Tinker, former manager of the Cincinnati Na tional league- bone ball club and Mordccal Brown, Cincinnati pitcher, has signed three year contracts witn tho Federal league. Tinker will manago the Chicago club and Urown will bo manager of tho St. Louis club. George Stovall, formerly of Cleveland, and last year manager of tho St. Loula 'American leaguo club, signed to manage tho Kansas City club next year. Larry Schlafley, with the Jersey City club of tho International league, will manage tho Buf falo club, and William Phillips, a former Cincinnati player, but out of baso ball for several years, will go to Indianapolis as manager. The franchise recently voted Cleveland was forfeited and awarded to Toronto, Canada. Announced by Gllmore. James Gllmore, president of tho Federal league, announced that each Federal league club would contain at least flvo players wno appeared last year with cither tho National or tho American league. Tho full roster of tho players, he said, would bo announced within a few days. "Well advertised players from these leagues, he said, had been chosen to manage the Toronto, Baltimore and Pitts burgh clubs. The amount any player Is to receive from the new leaguo was not made pub lic by President Gllmore. Twelve Thousand Tear. It was reported that Tinker was to re ceive J3G.O0O for three years' service. Tinker, who waa deposed by Cincinnati, was sold to tho -Brooklyn club for $25,100, It being stipulated that ho was to re celvo $10,000 of this amount in addition to his salary. Tinker had announced that ho would not go to the Federal leaguo unless he was assured that his Income would bo larger than that provided by tho Brooklyn deal. Tinker's wllllnsrness to leave organized base ball was increased by his desire to live In Chicago, where ho has business Interests. An effort by Charles V. Murphy, owner of the Chi cago National league club, to buy him re ceived Tinker's support, but when it be came known that tho Brooklyn deal would block Tinker's chanco of playing with the Cubs he entered his negotiations with the Federals. CJetM In IllKh Flwnres. Brooklyn's offer of 25,000 for Tinker's services, said to bo tho largest sum ever paid for a ball player, was contingent upon tho former Cincinnati manager's accepting the agreement. Cleveland's place In tho new Federal league was forfeited owing to the failure of that city to guarantee a suitable ball park. Barney Hepburn, a member of the Canadian parliament, it was announced, Is the owner of tho Toronto club. Tinker and Brown are among the old' est and best known players In organized base ball. Tinker Joined the Chicago club twelve years ago and won his way to high regard as a shortstop. A year ago he was signed by Cincinnati as manager. Brown also Bpent many years with the Chicago club as a pitcher. He went with Tinker to Cincinnati. The cities represented In the Federal league are: Toronto, Buffalo, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and Indianapolis. Ilerriunnu Will Not Talk. CINCINNATI, Dec. 2S.-Pre!dent Au- gust Herrmann of the Cincinnati National league team was rust notified of the jumping of Mordecat Brown to the Fed eral league by the Associated Press. Mr. Herrmann was surprised, but declined to make any comment. As president of the National base ball commission he also declined to say whother the action of Tinker and Brown had placed the ball players outside the pale of organized base ball. Mordccal Brown pitched good ball for the Cincinnati team thU year and waa aepenaea on Dy -Manager iierzog for a great deal of work In the 1314 season, both as a regular and relief pitcher. clnnatt club when August Herrmann sold him to Brooklyn. There Is no doubt about that, because when Tinker signed his 1913 contract with Cincinnati, he gave Cincinnati an option for his services In 1914. Brooklyn now owns that option by vlrtuo of the deal which President Charles II, Hobbs put through with August Herr mann early this month. Moreover, tho National league has promulgated the deal, formally recognizing Tinker as Brooklyn's property." Surprise to Brooklyn Heads. The news that Tinker had signed with tho Federal league came as a surprise to tho officers of tho Brooklyn club, Presi dent Ebbcts In on his way to Porto Rico for a three weeks' vacation, having sailed on tho steamer Brazos a few hours beforo word reached hero of the defection of tho Miortstop, who thus rejected a $10,000 bonus in addition to what VIco President McKeovcr describes tonight as a better contract offered Tinker than any ho had ever signed before as a player. McICeover intimated that Tinker had been offered more than $3,000 a year for three years in addition to the $10,000 bonus. The Brooklyn club explained Its prof fered terms In a letter to Tinker last Tuesday, according to McKtever, and no reply was received from the shortstop. McKeever said Tinker gavo no Intima tion to tho club that he planned to join the Federal league. "Wo havo treated Tinker in a regular business way and In a gentlemanly way," said McKeever, "and ho has treated us unfairly. Wo assume that he Is a mem ber of the Base Ball Players' fraternity and as such ho should have waited beforo signing with outtaw base ball until the National commission had taken action In January on the demands of the fra ternity." In taking tho Tlnkor case to tho courts, Bernard York, counsel for the Brooklyn club, said he had not given the subject sufficient study to be able to say tonight whether resort' would bo taken to tho federal courts or tho New York or tho Illinois state courts. Speaking offhand, he said Inasmuch as tho Brooklyn club s a New Jersey corporation and the Tinker deal with the Federal club was aBsumably mado In Chicago, the Injunc tion would be ."ought in the United States court. York conceded that In this event the fight of organized base ball against the Federal league might reach the Unit1 States supremo court.

The American league laid Its plans most carefully, fully matured them, and then entered on their fulfillment with a rush that simply swept tho National leaguo owners off the board. Salaries that can only be described as princely tempted star after star of the National to Jump to tho new organization, and tho trick was done. Tho National league has never recovered tho prestlgo It lost at that time, and never will. And now we are threatened with a repe tition' of that situation. The big league magnates say they have set apart a very largo sum of money to meet Just this emergency, and that the Federal, or any other outlaw leaguo will bo smothered at tho very start. Last summer tho Fed era! was treated as a Joke. Us promoters were not taken seriously by any base ball wiseacres, but when It finished the season, and announced its plans for next year, some of them began to sit up and take notice. Then came the announcer mcnt of the big "war bag" of the big leagues, and here comes the chanco for the magnates to spend some of the money they have laid auldo to meet the crisis. , History of Injunctions. Talk has been made of getting injunc tions to prevent the Jumping players from playing with tho Federal league. Those who aro putting up this lino of argument should go back Ipto history and seo how seriously the injunction affected "Big Ed" Delehanty and Larry Lajole. after thoy had jumped from tho Phila delphia Nationals to the Philadelphia Americans and then were sent to Cleve land to play. iiie 'eaerai league promoters must make a noise like real money in order to convince experienced ball players liko Joe Tinker, Mordecal Erown and others that it Is to their Interest to Jump contracts or reservations and take on with tho new leuguo. Tinker was Just ousted from a managerial berth that has Its drawbacks, bu. had been offered a large bonus and u big salsry to play with another team; Brown was assured of regular employ' ment at a good salary, and this Is true of other players who have cast their fortunes with the Federals, so It must bo that somewhere real money Is figuring In tho move, for the average professional ball player knows little of sentiment. Tho war Is on. "Play ball!" Omaha's Interests. How tho moves will affect Omaha can not yet be hinted at. So far as the West ern league Is directly concerned, tho most In erecting factor Is that Jimmy McGIII of Denver has Just bought the Indian yterlans aro not showing as good form as earlier In tho season. Since winning tha first gamo they havo dropped two contests ln a row. Both tho games lost have been by narrow margins. The Westminsters have been playing In hard luck to a certain extent, which may be attributed to their losing streak of tho last few Weeks. As the Church league meets but once a week, a number of the teams havo been playing outside contests. Little Piny Lnnt Week. Basket ball among amateur teams In the city was rather slack last week. Tho Nebraska School for tha Deaf stopped play during tho Christmas holidays, as did also tho University of Omaha.
