MURRAY MAY co TO
new YORK YANKEES
Rumor Regarding Present
Manager of the
PhiIIieS.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to Tne Star.
PHILADELPHIA. July 1911 rumors
current are true. William Murray. man
ager Of the Phillies. will be connected
In a like capacity with the New York
Americans next year. At any rate, It Is
scarcely possible that his contract. which
expires at the close of the season. will
be renewed. Base ball owners are de-
cidedly loatn to talk Of changes Of man
agement during the heat Of campaign
and. therefore. none of the recent re.
ports which would send Mr.. Murray tc
New York next year bears either Phila-
delphia or Gotham confirmation.
It Is known. however. that the stock
holders of the Phfllies are not at al
pleased with the work of the Quakers
this year. The team is in the second
division. with little prospect Of getting
out of 1t. This is particularly embar-
RAISING to the stockholders. as they be
lieved they had the material for a pen
nant contender this season. If not for a
championship winner.
Mr.. Murray scored a distinct success last
season when he put the Phillies In third
place. This gave visions Of great pen
nant struggle this year. when big crowds
would swarm to Broad and Huntingdon
streets. and the club would pay sub
Stdntldl OlVlQenQS. 10 udto HeItH0T
has been forthcoming. and, instead, the
company faces a deficit.
A Popular Official.
Personally, Mr.. Murray has been one
of the best liked managers ever holding
the reins over the Phillies He Is STU
dent Of base ball and knows the game
thoroughly. It may be the fact that the
material with which he has to work is OF
too poor a class to get good results. With
one or two notable exceptions, his team is
composed of men who know nothing more
than the mechanical side Of base ball.
Moreover, one or two Of his men are
rated by critics around the circuit as &C
tually stupid.
Manager Murray undoubtedly knows a
ball tosser. He discovered McQuillen. the
1908 find of the major leagues. and while
manager of the Jersey City team he rec
commended several others to major league
teams who made good. The Phillies made
one poor deal last year when they gave
$500 in cash and Johnny Lush to the st.
Louis Nationals for Pitcher Charles
Brown.
To Offset these rumors is Frank Far
relrs statement that Elberfeld is the
permanent manager OF the Yankees. But
Mr.. Farrell will not say what is going to
happen next year. He has strong per-
sonal liking for Murray. and there is no
denying the fact that Mr.. Murray and
Mr.. Farrell have had a talk about the
management Of the Yanks.

The games for this week follow: Mon
day, July 20. Union Station VS.. Trainmen;
Tuesday, u. b. and o. VS.. Shopmen
Wednesday, %, Coach Yard VS.. Car De-
partment; Thursday. 23, Trainmen VS.. On
ion Station: Friday, "a. Car Department
VS.. B. and O.; Saturday, %, Shopmen VS..
Coach Yard.
Tomorrow's game ought to be a corker.
The Union Station will try its best to take
q chip off the leader and the Trainmen
certainly are anxious to hold their own
so as to land the cup on Manager Mac s
desk.
In the past week the B. and o. outfit in
series of three games won one, lost one
and tied one. The tie was with the Union
Station, in which game it scored the need
ed run in the ninth.
Rapee, the Station crack second sacker,
covers the bag in fine style.
al Groves covers the short field in high
class. AL cuts off many sure hits and by
his quick playing stops many stolen bases.
Doc" Galliher is the leagues best
catcher. His throwing is sucn that very
few pass the initial sack, and his batting
is away up.
A ball anywhere near Sam Handy in left
is sure out, for what the big fellow can't
cover In stride he has in reach and very
few land safe in Sans garden.
Ryan is holding the tuft in center down
in professional style.
Thompson Of the Station nine Is playing
classy ball in his new position at first. He
hasn't made a miscue since he has been
there.
The game at Chesapeake Beach Monday
looked like another to the B. and O.'s list
until the third, when two hits. base On
balls and two errors scored two runs and
tied the score. After that the Royal Blues
went up and didn't come down till Tues
day. when they turned the tables on the
Car Department.
Deschard is leading his team at the will
low with thirty times at bat. He has tai
lied fifteen hits.
Because of the late machinists' strike
the shopmen were minus several of their
best. This crippled the team greatly, for
when opportune batting was needed the
subs" were at bat and they proved easy
meat for limbaugh.
The Trainmen's excursion Monday was a
great success. There will be another one
Tuesday, August Is, when the Y. NJ. G.. A.
will give the trip to Chesapeake Beach for
the benefit of the gym fund.

The Weight Men.

The weight men also had padded shot
on board. but the training quarters were
always so crowded that 1t was dangerous
to use it. and whenever possible a SUBJ
stitute was used. Toward the end OF the
voyage some inventive geniuses evolved a
game Of foot ball. and this the weight
men used to good advantage. There were
several f1rst-class foot ball players on
board, aud they were pressed into service.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ~ WEST
VIRGINIA.. -

The state Democratic convention
OF West Virginia has adopted a plank
In its platform which demands the
acknowledgements OF the negro.
The action OF the Democrats I'm
border state like that has some
thing more than local Significance
and II will serve to stimulate the
other states. not only of the south.
but of the whole country. to elimi-
nate the ignorant negro voter wher-
ever he may be found.
The people of the United States
wherever they are not absolutely
blinded by partizanship or self in
terest, are rapidly reaching the con-
cluslon to which Mr.. Bryan gave
expression some time ago, to the
effect that the north would act in
this matter just as the south is do
ing IL confronted with the same
conditions.
AS sectional bitterness expires
the deliberate judgment of the PEG
pie comes to the realization that
the adoption of the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments was a grave
mistake. 1t may be years before
the work that was done in the days
of passion and preSudice can be UNI
done directly. but in the meantime
it is possible to accomplish very
much the same thing by means of
the just and legal Acknowledgement
enactments such as has been pro-
posed in Georgia.
The state of Georgia took a long
step forward when it decided to sub
NIT to the people this constitution
al amendment which is to be voted
upon in the general election. Every
day confirms the wisdom OF the step
and when we find such states as
West Virginia preparing to follow
in our footsteps 1t is easy to see that
the day is not far distant when there
will be no dissenting voice through
out the country, and we will then
be in n position to secure an out
right repeal of the odious amend
ments which have kept the south in
social and political bondage for so
many years.-Atlanta Journal.

While number OF Republican
organs over the state have asserted
that the negro planks in the Demo
cratic state platform spells defeat,
not one Of them have had the cour-
age to declare in favor OF whites
and blacks riding in the same
coaches.
The question is one that must be
met. Those who are not in favor of
change must place themselves on
record rs ravorfng a continuance OF
the present system.
VIII the Mercer county candidates
FOR the Legislature announce whether
they favor the separation of the
races by common carriers or do they
believe that both should ride in the
same coaches? Our columns are
open to either to declare themselves
upon this subject.
The Mercer county platform favors
separate coaches with the same az
commodations to the blacks as the
whites. 1t also favors a limitation
upon The suffrage question
The Democratic party has shown
the courage OF its convictions. 1t
has openly declared itself upon this
question. The issue must be met
1t is vital one in TITS state.
The Republicans cannot criticiso
the Democratic planks upon this
question without implicitly favoring
the present system.

FORTY-EIGHT YEARS OF RE-
SPONSIBILITY.

The Republicans have often told
us that a panic only comes when
the Democrats are in power, but this
is not true, as every we'll informed
man knows. Senator Daniel OF Vir-
glnia points out the fact that the
Republicans have been in control of
the government for forty-eight
years, with the exception OF two
years during one of the Cleveland
administrations-in other words.
the Democrats have only been in
control OF the government two years
out Of AS. During that time we
have had several panics. the worst
OF which occurred in 1873, under
Grant; in 1898, at the close of the
Harrison administration. a legacy
left to Cleveland for which he suf-
ferec the blame of the unthinking
for the past twelve years. and the
panic of 1907 under Roosevelt Dur
ing all these years the Democrats
have never had an opportunity to
put their policies into effect And
unfortunately for the country, as we
believe. there can be no change in
lgisetion with the election of Bryan,
for the Republicans will almost sure
ly control the senate for the next
four years. Senator Daniel says:
mo Democrat should lack IN eff
fort to bring about the success of
our party and the welcome changes
which would be wrought through its
elevation to power. 1t has been
forty-eight years since the Demo-
cratic party was in power. with the
single exception OF two years under
one Of Cleveland's administrations,
and the reforms that will be brought
about by this restoration to power
should stimulate all Democrats to
their best exertions."
