Joseph's High School and St. Patrick's Athletic Club staged one. of the fastest games' of the season last night at Irvington. Although defeated to the tune of 29 to 17 the young JosepMtes made a very creditable sliowing. They were outweighed many pounds to the man by their more experienced opponents.

In the first half they seemed to suffer from stage fright, but quickly struck their stride. The shooting of Hickory and the foul caging of Linhard were the features for the Josephites, while the floor work and goal caging of Kirby and -Baker for the visitors were conspicuous for the wearers of the green.

"The Brooklyn club is not being run from Chicago, bvjt from Ebbets field. in Brooklyn. We bou jit Tinker because 'we thought his playing ability was a good business investment. He is now on the Brooklyn rolls, and undoubtedly will appear in a Brooklyn uniform next season. "I have not heard from Tinker today.

MEN AILED SIX WITH TEAM THAT New York, Dec. 13. Alfred Goulletji of Australia, and Joe Fogler, of New York, won the six-day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden which ended tonight.

Jacob Magln, of Philadelphia, and Percy O. Lawrence, of Dover, were the second team. Edward F. Root, of New York, and Reggie McNamara, of Australia, finished third. The other teams finished as follows: Peter Drobach, of Boston, and Alfred Halstead, of California, fourth.

Francisco Verri and Maurice Brocco, the Italian team, fifth. Fred 11111, of Boston, and Martin Ryan, of Newark, sixth. Lloyd Thomas, of San Francisco, and Worth L. Mitten, of Davenport, Iowa, seventh. Frank Corry and J.

Gordon Walker, both of Australia, eighth. The first six teams were tied for the lead when the race proper ended shortly before 10 o'clock. One representative from each of these teams then entered for a fimil sprint of a mile to decide the winner and the occupants of the succeeding places for honors and prize money. The starters were Verri, Goullat, Hill, Root, Halstead and Lawrence. Root led the riders i during the first three-quarters of the distance.

In the last two laps, however, Goullet, the Australian, whose sprintt ing in emergencies with that of hi.s partner, Fogler, has been one of the features of the race, jumped to the front and won easily by more than a dozen yards. The Corey-Walker and Mltten-Thotnns teams were tied for seventh place and Corey and Thomas entered a mile sprint to determine the occupants of seventh and eighth places, Thomas winning. The leadinsr teams had covered 2,731 the sprint. This bettered the record inada by McFarland and Morun in l'JOS by 13 miles and 0 laps. Corey and Walker nnd Mitten and Thomas were a lap behind.

The Cm men and Cameron and Breton nnd Puckcnbusch teams withdrew early in the evening. One by one tho other seven of the original 17 starters had withdrawn at various stages of the race. The fast pace almost constantly maintained from Monday morning until tonight had resulted in records being smashed day after day and tho hourly scores were tevr that did not announce some new mark. The big crowd present on the final nlsrbt cheered and the band played, when, at 9.30 o'clock, it was announced that at that hour the riders had passed the record mark for a completed race of 2,737, miles and 1 lap. Then the miles piled up for a new record as the 1913 race drew to its close.

The race has been perhaps the most ex-citing and successful of nny of the long, series of these events at Madison Square Garden. Foreign riders were numerous and several of these, notably Australian and Italian cracks, figured in the final distribution of prize money. The prize for the winning team waa $1,600, while $1,000 went to tho second team, to the third, $C00 to fourth, to "fth, $300 to sixth and $230 to seventh. The eighth-place teum will not be neglected in the distribution of rewards, however, and as a mottir of fact the announced prizes are but a comparatively small part of the riders' winnings, as there were many bonuses for good riding and vnrlous re- wards for the hard-working cyclists.

Time of ewspapers has the following One of the periods 30 (minutes. to say Just to show Joe Tinker how strong he stands with the Brooklyn Club, Wilbert Robinson will visit the former manager of the CIncinnnti Hods at his home in Chicago Friday morning. Robbie' received word yesterday from President Ebbets that be had arranged- to hold a conference with Tinker, so he president and the manager of the Dodgers will meet in Harrisburg Thursday afternoon and Journey to the Windy City. 3 It Is the purpose of the Easterners to tell Tinker just how badly he is needed to fill out the Dodgers' infield. Naturally, they will make it known to Tinker that there is no pipe dream in connection with that portion of the deal which gives the player $10,000 of the paid for his release.

"I do not wr.nt to play ball with was the comment of Joe Tinker yesterday. The former manager of the Reds had no other statement to make, but be has not given up hope of returning to the Chicago Nationals. lie believes that his sole was conditional and that by remain-in; noncommittal he may force President Herrmann, of the Reds, to reconsider the Tinker has told friends he would not consider the offer of Ebbets of $7,500 a year and a $10,000 bonus to sign unless the contract Is for three years. He has said he would not consider a contract for one year unless the salary was $10,000, and even then might refuse. Tinker has also said he will not do anything until he is convinced he has no chaDce of playing again with the Cubs.

C. W. Murphy, owner of the Cubs, when In New York, requested Herrmann for permission to talk to Tinker and asked the Cincinnati president to make a list of players he wanted in exchange for his former manager. "Herrmann wrote Archer and I stopped him right there," Murphy said. 3 Murphy did not know Ebbets put the deal over until he reached Chicago yesterday.

and he immediately announced that he was "grievously disappointed." Dispatches from Chicago imply that Ebbets was influenced in making the deal with the hope that Joe could be used as trading material. In Chicago it is felt that Tinker, after all, may be seen in a Cub uniform next spring, because there is a big shake-np scheduled in the Cubs' camp. Plans will be made for the changes as soon as Manager Johnny Evers arrives in Chicago next week. While Ebbets and Robbie will be in Chicago about the time Evers will arrive there, the president of the Dodgers was almost hurt he heard the gossip. "There is not a word of truth in the Herzog takes thereiusas "When Charley incinnati Reds there will be leader of the bf New York baseball en- any number thusiasts whd will wish him good luck, himself to be a capable Herzog prove York uniform.

He is one of the best base stealers in the National League, which he has led in that respect on several occasions. He is a brilliant outfielder and thrower and a good hitter. Last season he played in 141 games and had a batting average of .258, also stealing 38 bags. It is believed that he. will crowd either Murray or Snodgrass out of the Giants' outfield.

It was Herzog's idea to be traded to Cincinnati, and he received the consent of President II. N. Hempstead several days ago to open negotiations with August Herrmann. Herzog was told by Herrmann that if he could bring along two other Giants the deal would go through. But Secretary Foster stood pat on Herzog and Hartley.

Herrmann accepted this proposition yesterday noon and then had a long talk with Herzog as to the future of the Reds. "I haven't been traded to Cincinnati to manage the team, but merely to play ball In the ranks," said Herzog last night. "But I think if Mr. Herrmann will give me a chance I can make good. "I regret to leave the Giants, but I believe I will be greatly benefited by the change.

I couldn't play regularly under McGraw and I didn't relish being idle. asked to perform a task for "Herzog is Silver Tea Set on By Holland The second annual shoot of the Maryland Country Club yesterday afternoon was largely attended, but for some unaccountable reason tne scores made by those taking part showed very little class. One of the shooters remarked after the event that he was certain that the targets instead of being of clay were made of steel, as he was certain that he scored 99 hits, but the tallykeeper turned in considerable less as his portion. William Holland won the silver tea service which was donated by the club and given as first prize with a score of 82 out of 100. The real feature of the afternoon, however, was the work of Robert Poplar, a 14-year-old lad, who scored 71 hits and was awarded a pearl-handled pocketknlfe.

As it happened, however, the hammer was the auctioneer's hammer and it was not allowed to touch the horses themselves. The animals were the property of William H. Thompson, of Brooklyn, N.

said to be not unknown to fame in Charles F. Murphy's wigwam in Tammany Hall. The sale arose out of some legal difficulties between Mr. Thompson and J. Milton Reed, of Philadelphia.

There was Monty Fox, who Is said to have made some holes Into the record for half-mile flat at Timonium Fair. James O'Hara bought him for 5500. Tradesman sold for $90 and Kedron sold for $130. The sale was in front of the Derby Hotel on Park Heights avenue. Willjam G.

Then, too, Brooklyn would be foolish to dispose of Tinker because he is one of the few men in the country who can fill the big gap In Robinson's team. 8 Before returning East Robinson and Ebbets will go to Cincinnati to confer with Garry Herrmann.

While, of course, they will have to tell Herrmann everything that transpired during the conference with Tinker, the visitors are calling "upon Herrmann for the purpose of making still another deal. 2 Cincinnati would like to get Stengel, the young outfielder who made such a splendid record last season with the Dodgers. It was Stengel's first year in fast company, but he proved to be a regular fence-buster. Nearly every club in the National League talked Stengel to Robbie during the meeting recently held in New York. All the managers wanted to know what Robbie Intended doing with Stengel.

The Reds also would like to have Hughey Moran, the midget gardener, who was a star of the International League while a member of the Rochester club. Moran is a dandy lead-oft man and is a swift fielder. 3 Robbie wants a couple more new faces, and, whil" he would not go into detallse, it is well known that he believes Marsans has considerable class. Robbie Is not alone in his belief about Marsans, for McGraw, too, thinks well of the Cuban outfielder. The deal for Danforth probably will wait for some time, for Dunn and Robbie met yesterday and discussed it.

Both men regard Danforth highly and Dunn has no intention of letting Dave go for a song. In turn Robbie does not care to part with any more of his men until he has seen them in action. Perhaps when the Dodgers play here April 5 and 6 the leaders may get together and the deal go through, or, for that matter, it may not go through at all. thkt six others before him the Reds failed. They were Hanlon, Kelley, Ga 11-Day and Tinker.

McGraw is proDaoiy trim right now than at In better fighting Vila pnrppr. any time in most a year and the rest evidently has done him a world of good, for Harris declares he is boxing better now than at any time since he took np the profession. McGraw's- easy victories over Miller and Stokes dil not show just how good he was, as he probably could have stopped each opponent earlier had he rushed matters.

There will be little difference in the weight of MeGraw and Dohan. If there is any it will favor Dohan. 1'esterday a large crowd of South Baltimoreans saw McGraw. in training in the open air at Union League Park, and that section of the city probably will be strongly represented at the fight. The preliminaries point to being the most interesting seen here for quite a while.

The semi-windup in particular, should be a corker. Young Kid Williams, seconded by his brother, Kid Williams, will endeavor to uphold the reputation of the family with Kid Whitten, who has been coming to the front of late. Whitten is in training with McGraw and his chief handler will be Sammy Harris. The Young Herman Miller-Soldier Stokes bout may be a "bruiser all the way, while the third six-round argument probably will be between Jack Andrews and Young Papke. There will be a battle royal also.

The boxers were paired as follows; Hamilton Robinette vs. "Wlmbert Sullivan. Karl Gonster vs. George Turner. The youngsters showed excellent form.

Jack Doyle, the former Oriole first-baseman and now scout for the White Sox, deprecates the practice cf pitchers passing the batsmen with malice aforethought aud is primed with suggestions to check the practice. Says Doyle: "The baseKill public has rightly demanded a change in the rules governing this phase of the game, and I believe immediate action by the rules committees of the major leagues would strike a responsive chord. It an injustice to the fans, it's unfair to the batters and the practice should be stamped out. Patrons of the sport attend games and pay to see hitters like Cobb, Speaker, Wragner, Lajoie and Zimmerman club the ball. If the batter happens to be tight and the score close, the opposing pitcher seldom takes a chance with one of the heavy hitters facing him.

"This vhribit of deliberately serving four balls wide of the plate has become so pal-pablv frequent that the game is losing interest. Hundreds of fans go to ball parks In various parts of the country every day, sometimes traveling great distances, just to see the star batters in action. Picture their disappointment when these same sluggers are denied the right to wallop the ball. "My idea to better the game is simple. I would make it optional with the batter whether he accept a free pass, one intentionally given.

The umpire should have the final word, however. For instance, if one of the well-known sluggers was two men on base and none out in a close game and the pitcher deliberately shot over four 'waste' balls the umpire-in-chief should be vested with authority to make the pitcher put over at least one good ball. "In the event the pitcher refused the umpire should be empowered to order him from the game and plaster on a fine not to exceed This may seem radical, but to my way of thinking it's only fair to the pnblic and to the batter. the pitcher, while apparently trying to play it safe with, one of these lioiirir hlrtprs- nut. nvpr nnt trnnA hull one llrSu- ivact? i jv i five and a half furlongs; selling, Herpea, 107 Johnny Dundee of Tsev York, and chamoion.
