Urbana, 111., Dec. 15. George A. Huff, premer clnference baseball coach and winner of Innumerable championships, is willing to desrt the bench and sit in the grand stand at baseball games if the conference passes such a rule. An interview favoring the isolation of baseball coaches by Dean Small of Chicago caused much comment here. Dean Small was quoted as declaring that the use of signals by bench coaches robbed te-ams of initiative. "I'll take a grand stand seat all right," Coach Huff said. "The largest number of signals I ever had in a seasin was three. Generally I have only one. This is all a joke about running teams by signaling every play from the bench. The good teams in the big, league or colleges don't try it. It is a delusion fostered by some of the magazine baseball writers."

OWNERS OF REDS
TO CALL OFF DEAL DOC WHITE PREPARES FOR JOE TINKER j FOR COAST BERTH
Cincinnati, O., Dec. 15. Better than
even money proposition that Joe Tinksr. deposed manager Cincinnati Reds, and sold to Brooklyn last week for 25,000, will not play with the Dodgers in 1914. Certainly he will not become a member of Charley Ebbets aggregation under terms agreed upon between that magnate and President Herrmann of the Cincinnati club. It has developed that the fcajority : of the board of directors of the Cin- : cinnatl Exhibition company do not approve of the tentative deal arrangedby President Herrmann, and it Is declared that during the coming week at a meeting President Herrmann's action will be set aside.
Without Intention or purpose to criticise President Herrmann's or the management of the team for years past. It is said to be the purpose of the board of directors to apply business methods henceforth to the direction of the Reds. .Jt is a practical certainty therefore "-Mrlter will not be with the Brookthat i- jj j hig coming season unless lyn team EU-. agrree8 to 80me sort President EbbeisV contemplatc the of a deal which wffJf players for tn

Doc, you know, is all signed up to pitch for the Venice club In the Pacific Coast league during the 1914 season. In 1915 White will be at the helm of the club. The contract . was signed several days ago and sent to Hap Hogan at Venice. White expects its return with the proper signatures this morning, and tomorrow he expects to grab a train for his home in Washington.

Cub Owner Predicts a Big Shakeup on Team in Spring.
: Charles W. Murphy, Cub boss, laughed yesterday afternoon when asked if there was any truth in the report emanating from St. Louis to the effect that Johnny Evers would eventually be traded to Brooklyn for Joe Tinker, who would then become the 1914 manager of the Cub team. Murphy spiked the yarn right off the reel by declaring that. there was absolutely no truth to
the report, down there
over and then branded it as false. Tinker laughed at the prospct of any such deal being pulled, and Evers well, we didn't bother Jihnny, as he's down in New York state spending a few pleasant days at a hunting camp. Why bother John with unpleasant queries when he's enjlying the perfect freedom and Joys of the woods down east? Tinker expects to hear something frlm Ebbets during the next few days. As we have already announced, they've git to "show" "Joe simething befire he consents to affix his signature to a piece of paper. Joe's always been cinsidered a pretty crafty business man and he's a better business man tiday than ever before. " All that he knows
Anderson Ind., Dec. 15. Sheriff Black of Madison county last night notified the promoters of a prize fight at Elwood for next Wednesday evening to call off the same. Jack Dillon of Indianapolis and Jack Jeffries, a brother of Jim Jeffries, were matched. The ban on the fight game in Madison county ten years past will be continued.
A fertile brained scribe j relative to the sale Is what he has read must be given credit forfin the papers. When he hears some-
having almost started something, for were Ebbets and Murphy to stage the deal that he mentioned, Evers for Tiker, we would have sufficient dope to keep us busy until the actual time arrived for the staging of the big battles of the 1914 season. But Murphy couldn't stand for any such story going the rounds, even though he would like to have JV sephus Tinker playing shortstop on the Cub team nest summer. Mr. Murphy gave the St. Louis article the once
thing definite from Ebbets and Herrmann he will be ready to render his decision as to whether or not he will go to the Trolley Dodgers.

GRAVES SHADES FRYER
CARPENTIER DRAWS $100 FINE Paris, Dec. 15. Georges Carpentier, the present pugilistic idol of France, is not above discipline at the hands of the French boxing federation. . Recently he was fined $100 and his manager assessed the same amount for his bout with "Jim Lancaster" at GenevaLancaster, it developed upon Investigation, was in reality Max Abbott, and Carpentier was charged with boxing Abbott, knowing the identity of his opponent. The other principals fared worse, Abbott was suspended for four months and the referee for nine.
MICHIGAN TO ACCEPT OFFER
Ann Arbor, Mich., Dec. 15. Although no official report will be given out in regard to accepting a game with Harvard next season, It is probable that Michigan will be ewilllng to accept Harvard on her own terms. An unofficial statement had It that Michigan is negotiating for a different date than the one offered to Chicago or desires a two year contract assuring the Wolverines a return game In 1915.
In training for his ten-round bout with Ad Wolgast at Milwaukee next Friday night Charley White is follow-
j ing a different method than the one employed by Packey McFarland when j he trained for his fight with Jack Brit
ton. McFarland made the grave mistake of boxing with fighters twenty and
j thirty pounds lighter than himself, and j not nearly his equal in height. Packey ' could do anything he wanted with the little fellows, and h!s exhibitions made
him look like a past roaster of the art of self-defense. He seldom, boxed with an opponent who was his equal in weight and height. Packey' was unable to handle Britton as he had the little fighters in the
j gymnasium. When they got into close
quarters McFarland found himself unable to turn Britton around and then belt him with short right or left hooka. The clever defense which Britton had perfected caused Packey to miss by wide margins, and the stockyards fighter landed only a few hard punches. When Packey was training for Britton several close followers of the game remarked he would receive a tough fight Unless he did some preliminary work with men more nearly his equals.

DISCUSS AMERICAN GOLF PLAYERS London, Deo. 15. Both Ray and Var-
don were besieged upon their return t England for expressions of opinion regarding golf and golfers In America. A synopsis of their replies would indicate that' the famous English professionals believe J. J. McDermott the best of the professionals in this country, with "Chick" Evans holding a similar position among the amateurs. The best courses, they said, are located In Cleveland and Detroit. It waa their opinion that American golfers are too prone to un irons off the tees, due in part to the absenoe of real bunkers and rough going on the courses. According to Ray, there is a strong probability that a team of English professionals will tour the world In 1815. playing- In America, Australasia and Africa during the trip. T

ChTM BOB'S 8PORT1XG TALK. New York, Dec. 12. There is some talk of discontinuing the sox-day bi
cycle races after this year's contests. This rumor is as old as the annual grfhd, however, and very few there are who put any stock in it. In the event of New York's falling to put up prizes for another six-day bicycle race, however, other big cities are ready and waiting with offers for the big riders. Among those offering best terms are Chicago, Pittsburgh and Buffalo. John Ezenroth the catcher, formerly of Michigan university, has signed to play with the St. Louis Browns next season. Ezenroth captained the Michigan nine four years ago, and at that time engaged to Join the Browns at the close of the college season. When he was graduated, however, . he changed his mind and entered business. Branch Rickey dug him up last week and induced him to return to the game.
