Chicago, Feb. 11.-President Harry G.
Pulliam Of the National League has
entered into the controversy between
President Murphy Of the Chicago club
and Manager Frank Chance, and just
at this moment, when Murphy and
Chance have adjusted their differences
Pulliam threatens to step in, throw a
monkey wrench into the well-oiled ma
chinery and reveal the entire internal
workings of the worlds champions
business affairs
In letters written to Garry Hermann
of the national commission, President
PuIIiam, stirred to wrath by the pub
lie utterances and charges Of Murphy,
The Topeka state journal., 1909-02-11


IF Mr.. Murphy wants battle will
carry the war to Chicago and I know
something personally concerning the
management of the business affairs of
the Chicago club during the games
played between the Chicago and New
York clubs in the last series played in
the city of Chicago that will not look
well in print"
Yesterday correspondence between
Pulliam and Hermann in regard to the
gave a glimpse of what promises to be
the biggest sensation that Chicago's
baseball fans have had in years.
Pulliam publicly offers. in his letters
to Hermann, which were made pub
lie, to lay the entire facts of the case
to the baseball writer's association of
America, at the meeting of the National
League in Chicago next week.
Now that the letters have become
public PulIlam will be called upon to
make good and the meeting next week
promises to be most sensational in the
history Of the league.
In fact, the entire National League
appears aligned against Murphy and
er is likely to find himself in hot wa
ter.
Pulliam, in his correspondence with
Hermann, openly charges. and Herr
mann reiterates, that Murphy was
bluffing when he offered to give the
worlds champions $4,000, and further
that the national commission, in grant
ing the permission to Murphy to give
his players the money, did so merely
to "call his bluff"
That there was more back of the
trouble between Chance and Murphy
than the fact that Murphy called
Chance a fiat head is evident. Chance
it appears, was led to sign a four
years contract. Then. believing that
he was not getting a fair treatment he
demanded of Murphy larger sum than
was called for.
judged by the fact that Murphy, after
refusing to allow Chance to readjust his
contract, called him fat head
President Pulliam, in a letter to
Chance, written December &c, says:
'T told him CMurphy) that you told
me that you signed the contract vol
unfairly and named your own terms;
that afterward, after thinking the mat
ter over, you came to the conclusion
that you had been too hasty and went
to see him with a view of having the
contract changed, if agreeable to him;
that you were willing to abide by his
decision if he took the position that
was no fault of his that you named
your terms too low. but that he in
suited you by calling you a fat head
and told you that you were not the
whole thing in the Chicago club; that
your success was due to the fact that
you had a perfect team back of you
and that he could pick any one of you
to successfully lead his team.
Furthermore, he threatened to trade
you to Cincinnati and named the men
he would trade you for. namely, Hob
litzel and Lobert; that thereupon you
left his Office and came to California

20 Years
WithHeartTrouble

"Dr. Miles Heart Remedy has
cured me of heart disease of
over 20 years standing. I was
so bad that I could not do my
work, and could scarcely draw
a full breath without fainting or
smothering. The doctor told me
he could do no more for me;
then l commenced taking the
Heart Remedy. I shall never
forget that night. I slept better
than had before in months. I
kept right on getting better, I'm
til I was perfectly we'll"
MRS. LAURA RUSSELL,
Logan, Iowa.
When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, srnothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

gist. Take it according to direc-
tions, and if it does. not benefit

President O'Neiu Expresses Opinion of
Missouri Town.
Sioux City. Ia, Feb. 11.-President
Norris L. O'NeiII of the Western
league does not favor st. Joseph as a
Western league city and thinks the
former experience of that town should
be a lesson for some time. In regard
to his being in st. Jospeh and what
happened there, he has the following
to say:
81 was waited on by the members of
the city council and prominent fans,
and they were insistent that ST. Joseph
be given a berth in the Western
league They stated with a great deal
of emphasis that they could easily sup
port team in this league now. How
ever, as I see it now, there is little
chance of st. Joseph getting a fran
chise in the Western league. That city
was given an opportunity to get into
the league once, and that year near
ly broke up the league. It will take
some pretty strong talk on st. Joseph's
part to convince us that it would be
paying proposition to put a team in
there
From that line of talk it is quite
evident that O'Neill is not greatly in
favor of seeing the former "Jobbers"
in the circuit again.

the team, and this number has prob
ably been augmented since Hutchinson
was forced out of the Western associa-
ton and into the Kansas State league
Omaha Bee: Clark Griffith, the old
fox, now manager of Cincinnati, is
quoted in the Sporting News as deny
ing most emphatically the report that
he ever asked for waivers on Chick
Autrey. He pronounces the report
simple fake. It is no surprise to
Omaha friends of Chick to hear of this
statement from Griffith. Here is what
the Cincinnati correspondent to the
Sporting News says: when Manager
Griffith got wise to the news he did
not hesitate to say that it was nothing
more nor less than fake. If Presi-
dent Dreyfuss, who probably wants
Autrey to bolster up that infield of his,
can show where we ever asked for
waivers on Autrey,' declared Griff, with
emphasis, I'll give him Autrey without
one cent of charges AS yet the chal-
lenge has not been accepted, and it's
a cinch that it will not be. Autrey will
have opportunity to prove that he is a
better man than Hoblitzell before final
sentence is passed upon HIM"
