Jones Offers to Bet Nolan Wolgast Can Win at Catchweights.

San Francisco. Nov. 30. Tom Jones, Wolgast's manager, met Billy Nolan, Ritchie's manager. In Coffroth's office yesterday and offered to bet Nolan $25,000 to $12,500 that Wolgast could beat Ritchie In a return match on Washington's birthday. Nolan refused to listen to the proposition, declaring that he wante dto give Ritchie a chance to pick up som "easy money" on the stage before having him defend his new title.

Jones pressed the point, and said he

would let Ritchie come In at catchi weights at the same offer, but Nolan was in no mood to listen. Jones continued to plead for a return match for . Wolgast, and filially Nolan declared ! that he would put Wolgast's appllcation on file. , With wonderful persistence Jones " still pressed the point, and finally Nolan declared that he would give Wolgast a match within a year. This was the best that Nolan would promise Jones, anil he made even this slight concession reluctantly. Both Jones and Wolgast are angry at Referee Griffin. Jones declared that he had been given a very bad deal, 'and put it in language so strong that it would have to go through a fumlgator before admission to any sort of a press report. "I was robbed." declared Jones. "I finally got it and got it from a man whom I had picked myself. Ritchie knows that Wolg ist is his master and I don't think he will ever give Ad another chance. I will give Ritchie $1,000 the moment he signs another contract to meet Wolgast, and I'll make

Joe Faversham Tinker will start early today seeking bookings for his vaudeville sketch In the hope of earning enough money during the rest of the winter to keep the wolf from the door next summer. For Joe does not expect to play baseball next year, and his salary as Cub shortstop has not enabled him to save up enough to live without working. The talented shortstopper returned last night from his futile trip to New York In an effort to complete the deal which would enable him to take the management of the Reds. He was mad all the way through and said Garry Herrmann, whom he left in the afternoon, was madder because there Is more of Gary to get mad. Tinker left Gotham with the party of baseball men who went to Indianapolls to attend the funeral of the late John T. Brush, and traveled part of the way to Chicago with them. He said Herrmann and Murphy did not confer on the train.

"I'll stay out of baseball for one year from date." said Tinker. "After that I can't make any promises or tell what 111 do, but I can afford to stick It out one year, and I'll do It rather than play with the Cubs. ; "They got me Into this mess. Murphy gave me written permission to deal with Mr. Herrmann, and I thought ! everything was all right. He have had ': several deals practically made. This last one was all made and agreed to verbally. Mr. Herrmann was to give r Mitchell. Phelan and Corrlden Tor me ; and was going to pay Detroit $S,000 for

Corriden to complete the deal. "It was satisfactory to Murphy on Wednesday night, when he left us with the promise to come to the Waldorf at 10:30 the next day to close the deal formally. He wanted to consult Evers before putting it In writing. Evers went home to Troy that night, but Murphy

neve rcame back. He waited until ; Thursday noon, then Mr. Herrmann ' called him up by phone and was In- '

formed that the deal was on". Murphy
