Omaha daily bee., 1908-11-08

Certain interests nave tried hard to
create a popular belief tina Murphy and
Chance had had an -irreconcilable dispute,
but the president and manager of the
Worlds champions nave thrown cold water
on this vagrant effort. Mr.. Murphy dis
missed the matter by saying that he and
Chance often disagree, just as other busl-
ness assoclates are likely to do and that
nine times out of ten when the thing is
over he is willing to wager that Chance
was right. Chanc told the writer in
Omaha Tuesday morning that he would be
back on first base for the Cubs and man
age them next season. He also mentioned
the fact tina he had signed "A four-year
contract which he would carry out. No
doubt 1t would be gratifying to many in
dividuals II this rumpus talk could be
made to stick. The Sporting News, always
conservative, gives both men good advice,
TO get together aud stay out OF the papers,
and gives the impression that II has little
Idea they will do anything else than agree.
The Omaha High school foot ball team
OF 1908 must occupy a place unique in the
foot ball history Of Mat institution. II
has achieved something that no other team
there ever did-it has defeated the lin
coin High school team. The boys de-
serve much. credit for this feat, and all
the more because they won their game on
their opponents grounds. The team which
Coach Cherrington. himself a high school
graduate. leads. has not yet lost a game
and 1t has met tome sturdy foes. More
than that. 1t has as yet not been scored
against. This Is a stout tribute to Mr..
Cherrington also. Now. there il Just one
thing fha orlando 80 thsa s.nw. w.-.Ra a.
TO have 1t do. and that is add the scalp
- the York club to its collection. There
Il little doubt that York would fall a vic.
tim to the superior skill Of the Omaha
team.
Providence, Baltimore and Buffalo want
10 get back into a major league. Either
city might have a just claim to, based or
population, patronage or past record IN
fast company. 1t is superfluous TO refer
to Baltimore, for its great achievement 1.
too fresh in min to need any reyamplns
Providence has not been In fastest com.
pany since 1885, when il finished fourth ir
the National league. It won the pennant
in 1884. finished third in 1883, and secont
in the three successive seasons befor,
that. Hugh Duffy is stil manager O.
Providence and II he ever really sets tina
head or his to getting into either the Ma
tional or American he win come might,
near succeeding. II seems almost Immature
that Baltimore should remain in a minoI
league.
Inc Savannah. Ca. team has adoptei
the unique plan of advertising for goo,
players as one means OF getting a team tina
VIII win the pennant. 1t has scouts a
work also. Buck Thiel. formerly witt
Des Moinss and Omaha, is stnl In tn,
outer garden for Savannah.
It's a little late to speak Of it. but II 1
worth repeating that the republicans a
Troy had to ask the fans at Troy TO ge
Johnny Evers to delay his home-comin,
one day so as to give Judge Taft a show
II was done.
Cincinnati would gain a great manager 1
Hank osDay accepted .Herrmann's offer
but base ball would lose a great monito
and the National league its greatest um
pire.
