Murphy Reports to New York.
Shortstop Murphy reported to Capt Ward
yesterday at New York and took his Install
ment of bench warming. The ex-Yale player
looks in splendid condition. He did not care
to discuss his position on the New York
team, but he was not averse to talking OF
the Yale players. He says that Carter has
not got into his pitching form as yet, hut
when he does he will fool the collegiate
batsmen. He says that Greenway, of foot
ball fame, is catching a splendid game OF
ball, throwing well to bases and is better
man all around than Kedzie. Murphy says
that his namesake on the Yale team is COW
ering first bag in good shape, much better
than Stevenson. On the whole, the new
shortstop thinks the New Haven boys will
make good showing this year, although he
admits there has been no promise of cham
pionship form thus far.
