AFTER PITCHER
Murphy, of Chicago, Tries to
Get Slabber from
Brooklyn.

NEW YORK. July 31-It has been
learned that Charles Webb Murphy,
president of the Chicago club. spent
most Of his time while his club was
playing In Brooklyn in trying to in
duce Charley Ebbets to part with a
pitcher.
As the Brooklyn magnate would not
listen to a cash offer and Murphy
would not give up a good player in
exchange for a pitcher, there was
nothing doing.
Fbbets deserves credit for resist
ing the financial bait. He is wise
enough to see that to succeed in
Brooklyn he must get more good
players and not part with those on
his roll.
