OF THE PORTLAND MOTOR
JOE TINKER TREMENDOUS AID IN BIG
FIGHT AGAINST ORGANIZED LEAGUES
Chicago. 111.,
Tinker affixed
Feb. 14. When Joe
his "John Hancock"
to a Federal league contract he fird
t.ie first effective shot in what prom
ises to be the hottest baseball war
since the memorable conflict between
the American and National leagues, a
dozen years ago. Joe dblu't start the
muss between the Federals and organ
ized baseball, but he is largely respon
sible for the fact that the war has
reached its present proportions. He
was the first big league star to jump.
If Tinker hadn't jumped it Is a pretty
safe bet? that the majority of the big
leaguers now on the Federal roster
would never have taken the hurdles.
At the National league meeting In
New York last December the Cincin
nati club sold Tinker, its former man
ager, to Brooklyn, for the sum of 2n,
000. According to the agreement, as
reported at the time, Tinker was to
receive $10,000 of the purchase money
if he agreed to play in Brooklyn. Right
here is where Mr. Joseph got busy.
He demanded the $10,000 bonus and a
salary of $7500 a year to play with the
Superbas.
Charles H. Ebbets, president of the
Brooklyn club, claims he sent Tinker
a contract for three years calling for
$7500 a year. But a hitch occurred
when the directors of the Cincinnati
club refused to separate themselves
from any part of the 25,000 bucks.
Tinker thereupon did a speedy flop
that landed him in the Federal league
yard. ' He has been appointed man
ager of the Chicago Federals, and is
to receive $36,000 for three years'
work, so it is said.
Up to Feds to Show.
Joe's contract with Cincinnati for
1913 contained the customary clause
which reserved him for that club in
1914. Brooklyn purchased the con
tract, and If any legal action is taken
by the Brooklyn club It will be up to
Tinker and the Federals to show his
honor that the reserve clause in a
player's contract is a flivver. The
organized ranks, including all the ma
jor and minor leagues, contend that
the reserve clause is binding. They rely
largely on the decison banded dowi
by the Pennsylvania courts several
years ago in the famous Lajoie case.
In the Lajoie case the courts held
that the reserve clause was a part of
the regular contract. Larry Lajoie,
long known as the star second sacker
of the Cleveland Naps, was a member
of the Philadelphia Nationals when
the American league was organized. Hi
jumped to the Philadelphia Americans,
but the court decision already referre-1
to restrained him from appearing with
that club, and ha was released to
Cleveland.
Joe Tinker, who promises to be more
In the limelight than any other player
during the season about to begin, has
long been a conspicuous figure on tbe
diamond. He is a native of Kansas
and is close to his thirty-fifth year.
Broke in at 17.
At the age of 17 Joe broke Into the
national game with a Kansas City
semi-professional team. He showed he
could do almost anything except play
ball, so the manager of the team was
glad to sell him to a rival club for
$1.50. One hundred and fifty cents
! for a player "who in later years was
! to be sold for $35,000.
In 189"8. after his rather "discour
aging experience in Kansas City,
J Tinker caught on with a club at Coffee-
BOAT CLUB
Motorboat r.lnh aa it n,.,arDri
dcr Werth's shop The "Lady
. ,
vllle, Kas., where he earned $35 a
month and his board. The next season
be was sold to Great Falls, Mont.,
which club in turn disposed of him to
the Helena club.
Tinker was with Denver in 1S00,
but It was not until a year later that
be showed, real class on the ball
fir Id. In 1901 he played third bas
for the Portland team In the North
west league. His excellent work for
Portland attracted the attention of
the lae Frank Selee, who at the time
was manager of the Chicago Cubs.
Selee brought Joe to Chicago and
started him on his career as a bis
league shortstop.
Joe remained with the Cubs until
last season when he was signed as
manager of the Cincinnati club Now
he is goiry? to pilot an outfit in op
position to his old team in Chicago,.
In order that there may be no doubt
as to the Sincerity of his intentions he
declares that he will stick to the Fed
eral league "slnk or swim," as tho
case may be.
