0'BRIEN MAY BE
 : HEAD OF THE NATIONAL

Chicago, July sl.--A pleasant lack of mystery attended the visit yester day of President o'Brien. of the Am erican Association, to President Mur- phy. Mir. o'Brien had been repeatedly mentioned. as Q possible suceessor to the presidency of the National League in case of the late Harry. Puliiam's resignation or death ,and the tragic event which has produced a vacancy in the leadership of the old organization gives rise to the natural Impression that President Ofsrien is being sound ed as to his willingness to accept the position.
 Roth magnates declined to discuss this matterf, however. mad with ex- ceiIent taste MT. o'Brien said he had his hands more than full just now with the gruelling race. of the Ameri- can Association. and Mir, Murphy de- ciared:
 1T had too high a regard for Harry Puliiam to be discussing his successor so soon after his death. The visit of MT: o'Brien had nothing thi,Sgsrc to do with with league"

MYSTERIOUS DEAL
 NOT YET MADE KNOWN

Chicago. July sI.--The nature of the deal which Manager Frank Chance and Grfmth tried to make during tiiefr se- cret conferences in St. Louis, was shrouded more deeply in mystery yes- terday by the positive denial Of the worlds champion leader. that his con- ference with Griffith had anything to do with kling and by the emphatic refteration by President Murphy of the Cubs: "RiinE will not be sold and will not be traded"
 Chance Is undoubtedly seeking to strengthen his pitching stan, which has been weakened by the sickness of Jack Pfeister and Rip Hagerman. de- prfving him of @ left handler and q right hander. It Is natural to suppose Pitcher Bob Spade. who is reported to be not altogether satisfied with his return to the Reds under conpuisfon. is sou ght by Chance.
 If such a trade is on and does not involve King. 1t is perfectly legitimate for the Cub officials to decline to dis euss the nature of the deal until 1t Is consummated. There was reported c mysterious conference between Presf-. dent Murphy and representative Of John Kiing but the matters discussed or the results arrived at could not even be conjectured.
