dent for IntercedinE with Chance
The differences between. the president Of
the National league and the owner of it's
chicago club are discussed at length in
me New York Press Of January %. under
the caption, "Pulliam Is After Scalp of
Murphy" The successor OF N. f. Young
never considers a club-owner in the dis
charge OF his official duties, and since his
turn to private life rather than truckle
Tor votes. His manly, straightforward
course has made him strong in his own or,
ganlzation and powerful and influential
throughout organized base ball. The estrage-
ment between the Cubs executive and Mr..
Pulham dates from the investigation OF the
series by the National commission, OF which
Air. Pulliam is a member. The decision
was a Scotch verdict, but the Chicago
CLUBS officials were censured for lax
methods in the sale of reserve tickets and
the announcement was made that, to pro-
tect the public from imposition, represen-
tatives OF the commission will be in charge
OF the box office In future Worlds series.
Mr.. Murphy has, since the PRONUNCIATION
or the ruling, engaged in an epistolary
war win Chairman Hermann, has eX-
changed compliments in newspaper inter
views with President johnson and has in
censed President Pulliam to criticism and
attront. Correspondence between the Ma
ttonal leagues president and the Chicago
magnate is carried on through Secretary
Thomas, who was first employed as the
intermediary by the Cubs owner. While
in California. Mr.. Pulliam called on Frank
Chance, in the hope or eftecting a recon,
c~.iiStion between the leader of the worlds
champions and his employer. He was ami
mated by the same motives that prompted
him to visit Wagner last spring. Through
PuNiam's good offices, the Pittsburg Star
reported to his team and made II a con-
tender for the 1905 championship until the
closing series, Ascertaining that Chance
would carry out his four-year contract
with the Chicago club. II CONCESSIONS con.
sidered reasonable by Mr.. Pulliam were
made to him. the president of the National
league so informed Mr.. Murphy. who in
stead OF appreciating the service, resented
IL in a sarcastic message" as the COM
m%unication is termed by the New York
Press. All that Mr.. Pulliam received for
