Murphy's Activities.
Charles Webb Murphy is supposed TO
be the man behind the sale of the Phil
adelphia National League club. with
Horace Fogel as his mouthpiece. Muir
phys career In the past few years has
not been of sort to make the Phila-
deiphia fans enthuse, il he is really
the sponsor for the deal. He has shown
an unsportsmanlike spirit which has
been severely condemned In and ou- OF
the National League. His persis tent
seeking for notoriety has brought him
into an unfavorable light. His excessive
eagerness TO protest every decision
against him, his willingness 10 make
charges of crookedness against rivals.
his deliberate attempt TO Gust John
Heydler from the presidency Of the
league merely because Heydier had the
moral courage to vote against him, all
stamp Murphy as one whose exit from
baseball could be greeted with an en-
tire absence Of tears upon the part Of
all concerned.
Rusying himself with the Chicago club
alone he has managed to reach a most
unenviable position, except financially,
in the national game. If he is now to
have a hand IN the control OF the Phila-
delphia franchise, there is no telling
how much harm he may do. The deal
starts under a cloud OF suspicion as
having originated in the desire of Muir
a thoroughly competent official who
merely acted according to his lights.
Such motive does not bespeak a man
whose widening sphere of influence
would act favorably upon the future OF
the sport, or tend TO keep II free from
those juggling, money-gett1g projects
would be the untailing result OF a the
atrical or syndicate" domination of
baseball. ''Syndicates" have existed,
and do exist. in the majors, but they
have seldom had Murphy as their d.
recting influence.
Johnson's Position Ill Founded
Fan Johnson has come out fatfooted
the National League and declares he
will not serve on the national commits
sion with him. We are glad to land
such an ally as Johnson In the fight
for John Heydler and decency. ire
spective OF leagues. but it rtsst he
frankly admitted that Johnson: i@aSOn
for opposing Ward IS rot tmpI 2SSfEe.
He charges that Ward, who acted as
a lawyer. first signed George Da,'is 10
three-year contract with Chicago.
then when Davis wanted to break the
contract and join the New York Giants,
Ward. as a lawyer. explained the play
ers status and drew up the kind OF
contract Davis wanted drawn. Ward
acted In his professional capacity as
a legal adviser for money; in the second
place, players were hopping every Gay
IN those Warlike times and the Ameri-
can League got it's start from men in
duced TO iuulI reserves. and some of
them jumped contracts. Everything went,
and Ward was no worse than the Amer
lean League managers and scouts. Judg-
does not want Ward as long as HeydieT
is In the field. but. II he is 10 be at
tackled specifically, IL should be on
some better ground.

Arouses Interest of Local Motorists-Other
Gossip for the Autoists.
By HARRY WARD.

The automobile dealers Of this city
are manifesting great interest in the
automobile show scheduled for the week

From present indications II VIII be
the largest and best conducted affair
of the kind ever held in Washington
Convention Hall has been secured ana
Chairman Long and his associates are
aiming to make the first nauonal snow

Industrial show worthy of the CapltaI

has been made and In each successive
year new ideas have been carried Out
to perfect the details. Heretofore the
| individual exhibitors were alIoWeu 10
put UP signs of their own design anu
decorate their booths to suit themselves.
The result was an incOngruouS meuley
Of form and color and the signs were
| of so many sizes and shapes that tne
ensemble was offensive to the artsuc

| At the forthcoming show the commit
tee will have charge of the whole AFFAIR
and will aim to make a harmonious ex-
hibition. The sign display, lighting, ana
decorating will be placed entirely In the
hands of the show committee to the
end that the decorative scheme shaH
/ be uniform.
Another feature Of the chow will be
the great variety OF exhibits. They will
have a range much wider than at any
previous show, for they will cover not
only gasolene, electric, and steam We
hicles, but will also embrace every va
riety of supplies and accessories, to say
nothing of a comprehensive exhibit OK

After several postponements Il has
finally been decided TO Try the case

FORAKER ON wIRZ MONUMENT.

Cincinnati, Ohio, May 6.-Formel
United States Senator Joseph B. For
aker was the principal speaker at the
banquet Of the Loyal Legion, Depart
ment OF Ohio and the Southern States,
last night, and 10 the course Of his
address denounced In scathing terms
the proposed inscription on the monu.
ment to Major Wirz, the keeper OF
Andersonville prison.
The reference by Senator Foraker
to this matter was made in connec.
ton with IA discussion OF the proposed
honors to jefferson Davis In the silver
service for the battleship Mississippi.
AS to this, Senator Foraker declared
there was limit to such things. He
felt that the limit had been reached
10 the proposed inscription on the
Wirz monument, and lie added that
he would not shed any tears II some
old indignant patriot were to place
under the monument enough dyna.
mite TO blow 1t up.
"We lay 20 blame for IT," he con.
tinued, ION the men OF the South, who
had bravely fought for their cause,
but it does not become the veterans
OF the country to forget what is due

all would be to forget all bitter mem.

II will always like" said Mr.. For.
aker, ito recall the works Of Grant 10
directing that the Southerners were
to be allowed to take their horses
with them TO use them in their spring
plowing.
"These words are typical OF the re.
spirit of feeling that the
war had been waged, not to destroy,
but to preserve and to maintain.
III thank God that through His
mercy and goodness l have lived TO
see the day when the men against
whom we fought see that our victory,
was their victory, and not only their
victory, but their richest blessing
and that the greatness, power, wealth

shared with US by those who fought
against us.
