TINKER IS REDS' LEADER Yesterday's sessions of the two major leagues marked, the completion of half of a baseball trade that will be oneofhe hig gest deals pulled off in years be cause 'of the importance of the men to 'be shifted. Joe.JTjinker has at last become manager f the Cincinati Reds. The Cub shortstop, with Catcher Chapman and Pitcher Louder milk, was yesterday traded to the Reds by Murphy for Mitchell, Phelan, KriiseTy, Humphries and Corriden. Garry Herrmann se cured Corriden from Detroit for $7,500 after the other American League clubs had-waived on him and switched the red-haired in fielder on to tlie Cubs. As a result of this dicker Frank Chance will be the new manager of the New York Highlanders. This was definitely settled when seven National League clubs waived on him in, return for the American doing the same in the case of Corriden. All that remains is for Chance and Owner Farrell to get together on terms. Chance will still remain a big figure in the baseball world and will be better off financially than he was as leader of the Cubs. The Cubs get some good play ers in return for Tinker, Chapman and Loudermilk. Mitchell and Knisely are two good outfielders, the latter a youngster -with a good batting eye. Corriden is a better infielder than Phelan. Charley Murphy paid the pen alty for his attack on President -CHANCE GOES TO N: Y. " Lynch and his tempermental ac tions in once ducking out of the trade with Herrmann. He has se cured five players, but he has lost . Chance and Tinker in the shuffle and these two were worth more than the whole Red team. Even should the new material make good, and it is probable that ridt more than three of the placer's will be retained, Murphy has been'' stung good and proper. There is no sadness over this. Many fans have been unable to understand why the American' League owners have waived on a I player who was worth $7,500 to Herrmann. There would be some mystery in this were the player v not Corriden. Rett, however, had a slim cftance to make good in the Arnerican League. He was play- ing third with St. Louis two years ago when Larry Lajoie beat out ' seven bunts in one - afternoon, . thereby coming within a fraction of a point of beating Ty Cobb for the batting championship. There was a near scandal at the time, and'Corriden was released ty the -Browns. He was later picked up by Detroit, hat President Navin found he had a white elephant on his hands. Cobb had no love for ' Corriden, and there Was danger of ' dissension that would rip the Tig- -ers wide open. Navin is""practi- cally $7,500 ahead. ! Chance will probably receive l more money as manager of the ) Highlanders 'than any other man- 5 ager in the business except Mc- ' Graw. His contract will call for $18,000 a year for five years and
