BILLY MURRAY Is
SLATED TO MANAGE
NEW YORK ~HIGHLANDERS.
7"#F ==5 THE BEST SPORTING PAGES IN new JERSEY y
MURRAY IS SLATED
TO MANAGE HIGHLANDERS

last season, when he put the Phillies in
third place. This CAV visions of a
great %pennant struggle this year, when
big crowds would swarm to Broad and
Huntingdon streets and the club would
pay substantial dividends. Up to date,
neither has been forthcoming, but in
stead, the company faces a deficit.
Personally, Mr.. Murray has been one
of the best liked managers ever hold
ing the reins over the Phillies. He is a
student of baseball and knows the
game thoroughly. 1t may be the fact
that the material with which he had to
work Is of too poor a class to get good
results. With one or two notable ex-
captions, his team is composed of men
who know nothing more than the me-
chanical side of baseball. Moreover,
one or two of his men are rated by
critics around the circuit as actually
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 recommended several others to ma
jor league teams who made good. The
Phillies made one poor deal last year,
when they gave $1,000 in cash and
Johnny Lush TO tie st. Louis Nationals
for Pitcher Charles Brown.
Brown has not pitched a full game
this season, and many wonder why he
Is not at least offered a trial. as in CAL
culating the strength of the team prior
to the opening of the season, he was
regarded as one of the mainstays of the
staff.
In any event, the stockholders say
they must have results. No second d.
vision teams will be tolerated any
longer, and they will experiment until
they form a winning team.
In New York 1t is said that the ap-
pointment of Elberfeld as manager OF
the Highlanders was only temporary,
and that the place had been offered to
MIR. Murray. who is a strong personal
friend of Owner Frank Farrell. An
other great friend of Murray's Is Pat
Powers, and the latter has great in
f1uence with Mr.. Farrell. They believe
that Murray is just the man to whip
the Hlghlanders' grand baseball team
into a winner.

cult. The Eastern League pays good
money to its umpires, and 1t should
never be said that inexperienced men
should be grabbed up and given the job
single-handed. There are plenty of good
men who could umpire in this league
of ours and who would be able to rule
the players with an iron hand.
Where the Fault Lies.
The whole trouble in this league Is
confined to two things. First the men
who are supposed to rule the game do
not use calm judgment and show a
mastery skill with human nature.
Secondly, the directors of the league
are not severe enough in seeing that
players who forget themselves so far
as to slug the ruler of the game are
properly punished.
Just a Retrospect.
Take the National League or the
League. How often do you
hear of umpires being beaten by play
ers? How often has Jack Sheridan
ever peer assaulted? How often has
own tombstone ever been annoyed?
And why? Because they are competent
and because they have some brains, and
with this latter goes good judgment. l
can go out tomorrow and do better work
than half of the umpires at present per-
in this league.

DIEPPE, July 6.-This years great

broke all records, covering the course

The course is in perfect condition

be broken, both for the full distance
and for the single lap. The course IS
closed and triangular in shape. 1t Is
II kilometers in length, and there are
ten laps, making a total 1istance OF
no kilometers to be covered.
Automobiles are swarmlng into
Dieppe from all parts of Europe ana
from the United States. The Amer
lean and British c~ontingents are es-
pecially conspicuous, although the
French confidently expect to recapture
the cup. Navarro and Lancia are even
money favorites against the French
cracks. The Germans are feared, but
the English are not considered as dan
gerous.
Thirty-fve to one is offered against
Strang's chances. The American driver
is not boasting, and says that he will
be content with a creditable showing.
Strang will drive a Thomas machine,
and he is expected to give an excellent
account of himself before the race is
ended.

SCR|BES AND
POLICE TO PLAY
FOR CHARITY
Guardians of Peace to Tackle
STAR Team for Ice
END.

Nc one will dispute that the nine
te%en-inning battle between Newark
and Jersey City baseball teams at
Wiedenmayer's Park yesterday was nj
of the most wonderful on record. In
point of interest, however, one will be
played on h Tigers lot Wednesday
which may in many respects surpass
team, composed of employees of the
Morning and EVENING STAR, tackle
the Second Precinct police team.
The peace guardians of Captain
Browns precinct. under the manage
ment of Roundsman Jones, have easily
earned the title of police champions,
as they found the ask of lowering the
color of the other police teams far
from difficult.
The best part of the game will be
that IL Is for The benefit of THE EVE
MING STARS Free Ice md Sick Baby
Fund, and the police are working zeal-
ously to dispose of the greater part of
the thousand tickets TINT were printed
to sell at twenty-five cents each.
These tickets can be had from almost
any policeman n at THE STAR
office. There will be no extra charge
for the grandstand, and the members
of THE STARS Humane Society and
other juvenile fans will be admitted to
the bleachers free.
The record of the police to date out
shines that of their opponents, but this
fact is not causing the newspapermen
any uneasiness. The bluecoats are the
favorites, however, and much is ex-
pected of their battery, Walsh and
Rosenfelder. The latter has a batting
average which places him in the 400
class and Roundsman Jones has pro-
vided the Summer avenue station with
other sluggers who can swing the
baseball cudgel as we'll as their night
sticks.
The use of the grounds for Wednes-
day has been given by Manager STALL
ings n the tickets were printed and
donated by Birrell-Brown Company,
whose establishment is in THE STAR
building.
If his official duties will permit him
Mayor Haussling, who has earned quite,
a reputation as a pitcher, will throw
the first ball. There will be other at
fractions worth going far to see.
Additional news of the game with the
official batting order Will be printed in
both THE STARS.

Philadelphia Stockholders Not
Satisfied with His
Work.

PHILADELPHIA, July eff rumors
current in New York are true, William
Murray, manager of the Phillies, VIII
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 present season, will be renewed.
Baseball M are decidedly loatn
to talk of changes of management dur
ing the heat OF a campaign, and there
fore none of the recent reports. which
would send Mr.. Murray to New York
Gotham confirmation.
1t is known. however, that the stock
holders of the Phillies are not at all
pleased with the work OF the Quakers
This year. The team Is in the second
division, with little prospects OF getting
out of 1t. This Is particularly embar-
RAISING to the stockholders, as they
believed they had the material for a
pennant contender this season, If not
for a championship winner.
The Phillies, however, have been a
dismal disappointment, n the way
they have dropped games during the
last month indicates that the team Is
demoralized. The poor showing the
Quakers made at home against the
Western teams made great inroads on
the gate, much to the disgust of the
shareholders. who wan some returns
for the money they nave advanced.
In fact, the attitude of the officers of
the club is vastly different from that OF
several seasons ago when they were
not so disposed to press a manager for
results. The policy now is that the
merit system must prevail, and they
declare that changes will be made until
a winning combination is found.
Mr.. Murray scored a distinct success

law, therefore, Mccormick reverts to
the Giants. He was once a member of
the club. He has been signed by Nc
Graw to act as utility outfielder.

Probably one of the newest records
In the history of baseball was the one

makes yesterdays performance a re-
markable one. 1t Is also the record for
the longest game eve played under

1t was certainly a game of ball in its

'Bad Bill Sullivan Has Gone Back to American

Where Is There Any Improvement

BY TOM DUGAN.

ONE few weeks ago I referred to the question OF
umpires in this Eastern League of ours, and at
~ that time I said that an imp was like ourselves, a
mere piece of clay and liable like us all to make mis-
takes. At that time, too, 1 called President Powers's at
tention to the fact that he should uphold his umpires
against the assaults of players who SO forgot themselves
as To foully shove his spikes into the poor jumps foot
when the latter made some decision adverse to the opin-
ion of that particular umpire. There were several incl
dents Of assaults particularized at the time to impress
