|. A. A. {. TEAM IS
SATISFIED WITH
TRAINER MURPHY
Sidetracking Of Halpin Has
Restored Harmony in Ath-
letic Circles.

Clouds which at one time obscured
the athletic horizon in the appointment
of Matthew p. Halpin as manager Of
the American Olympic team have been
removed through the later action OF
the committee In selecting Mike Muir
ohy as trainer. It being understood that
Murphy. who is the present coach at
the University of Pennsylvania. and I'm
ioubtedly the best trainer in America
will have personal and exclusive charge
Of the athletes who make the team.
The change in front by the executive
committee OF the American representa-
sves to the Olympic games In London
next summer in selecting a professional
trainer after such action had been un-
favorabiy considered In earlier meet
inGs was not surprising TO those WHO
knew what tough proposition II had
to handle in retaining Halptn and at
the same time satisfying the demands
of the 1rish-American a. c.. which has
nearly all the present champions as
athletic members. and several others
who declared that II Halpin was to per-
sonally handle the team they would
stay in America.
In securing Murphy the committee
actually hit three birds with one stone,
It satisfied the rish-Americans: itadded
to the strength OF the team in obtain
ing the services Of the best trainer OF
athletes in the country. and 1t placed
Halpin in a position remote from the
team, where he can do no harm. Muir
ply will handle the men and Halpin
can pay the bills and drive away the
small boys from the peelSholes in the
circus tent.
p. j. Conway. president Of the Irish
American A. c.. said to-day: The ac-
ton Of tie executive committee last
night In selecting Mike Murphy as
trainer for the team was the very best
thing that could have happened for
the success OF the American Olympic
team. I regard Murphy as one OF the
best trainers in the world. and l am
sure that every man who makes the
team will feel pleased to have him in
charge. Halpin? Oh. yes. Halptn VIII
