MURRAY STILL At
HELM Of PH|LuES
Old Managers UItimatum to
New Owners Is Two Years
Pay or Fight.

NEW YORK, December 3O.-Wiliam
Murray has not compromised with Pres.
ident Horace Fogel or any OF the new
owners of the Philadelphia National
League club. He is still the active mani
ager of the Phillies, and, as such, Will
demand recognition from Quakertown
and the base ball world at large. AS yet
Murray has not conferred with the new
owners. But he will do so before the end
of the week. He is going to put an ulti-
matum up to the club. 1t is two full
years pay or stick to the ship with him.
If the Philadelphia club owners ignore
his demands he will take his case to the
national commission. Should redress
fail mere, an action will be begun in
the civil courts.
Murray passed through town on his
way to Philadelphia yesterday afternoon.
He explained that President Fogel was
already behind time with salary in
Stallment. and that he was going to his
summer haunts not only to collect the
money. but to let the new owners know
where he stood in the fight
while I believe that the trouble has
been magnified," declared Mr.. Murray, Il
am bound to feel injured by the publicity
given to the tale that / was to he kicked
out. There is nothing to prevent the
o"hciS the DOOt III tHey VIII
settle in full for the two remaining years
covered by my contract. There We're no
conditions as to where the club was to
finish during my regime l feel that
have carried out my part of the bargain.
MY contract is not of the regular
base ball variety, but bona fide bust
ness article that will stand the test Of
the civil courts. There will be no COM
promise on my part. It's the pound of
flesh for me. and two years pay is some
inducement to exact the bond
The national commission has always
stood for integrity of contract. When
Boston tried to GUST Joe Kelley Harry
Pulfam warned George Dewey that the
commission would rule against him. A
compromise resulted. President Lynch
the new member of the national com
mission, was elected to the National
League chair for his honesty and fear
lessness. 1t looks like Murray at the
Quaker helm, or some $4,000 tossed into
the air by the men behind the Phillies

mel" SHEPPARD'S
SUSPENSION UPHELD

NEW YORK, December :o.-Following
the recent action of the Military Athletic
League of Pennsylvania in suspending
Melvin W. Sheppard and William J.
Hayes, the registration committee of the
Atlantic division of the Amateur Athletic
Union at Philadelphia decided yesterday
to uphold the suspension.
Chairman Chadwick ut once notified the
Metropolitan division of the \. A. L. and
the national board of registration of the
action taken.
According to the report sent out by the
Philadelphia authorities the two great
athletes were outlawed for not Compel
ing in recent regimental meet in which
they We're said to have been entered.
That this is a mistake is evident from the
fact that Sheppard did compete. Hayes
did not run, but he claims that he never
entered.
When Sheppard protested against being
suspended for not doing something that
he had done, the military authorizes gave
excessive expense charges as the cause.
This, too, Sheppard denied.
Yesterday afternoon Sheppard returned
check for $50 which had been sent him
Tor the expenses for the trip in question.
THAT S2u is what they volunteered me
as expenses" said Sheppard. Il made
the trip. and although l returned the
night of the games. l spent more than
the amount allowed me. When railroad
fare. hotel, meals, carfare, paying for
rubber and incidental expenses are
added up, it amounts to much more than
SO.
Il don't know that l am suspended. L
don't see what authority that organiZa
ton has to outlaw anybody. 1 have re-
ceived no such word from the local au-
thorites and until then L shall deem
myself in good standing.
THE military authorities there are sore
on me because l have been trying to get
a job for Hayes in this city. He is the
only athlete that amounts to anything in
Philadelphia, and they don't want to lose
him.

FRAMING UP FIGHTS
FOR AUSTRALIANS

NEW YORK. December 3O.-Hbgh Nc
lntosh who seems to be dealing in pugi-
listic lemons. is framing up another
fight" for the easy Australian sporting
public. 1t is said to be his plan to put
on contest between Jimmy Britt and
Johnny Summers. the winner to fight
Boer Unholz for the lightweight cham
pionship. Unholz who was exploded in
this country. is all the rage in Sydney,
and styles himself the champion light
weight of the world. Harlem Tommy
Murphy and Dick Hyland made Unholz
appear cheap while the latter was here.
Unholz bases his claim to the lightweight
title on the fact that he held his own

ADMIRAL TOGO II IS
WINNER OF HANDICAP
November Classic Horse Event at
Manchester Brings Victor 1900 Sow
ereigns-season Successful
for King Edward

MANCHESTER. Eng, Nov. 27.-The
Manchester November handicap of 1000
sovereigns for 3-year-olds and up, mile
and half, was won here today by Ad-
miral Togo II. Ralph Lee was second
and Rockbourne third,
The season which closed today has
been chiefly remarkable for the sue
cess of King Edward and the Amer
lean invaders"
MI Fairie heads the list of winning
owners with $1SS595 to his credit; the
king coming second with $l49, 720.
The kings prominence in the list was
due to the achievements of two of his
hOrses-Minoru and Princess de Gales.
Mr.. FAIRIES BayardO, which proved
such a disappointment in the 1000
guinea stake and in the Derby, but
which, since then, has won races
valued at $123, 9S5, was the chief con-
tributor to his success.
The outstanding feature Of the sea-
son, however, was the successful cam
paign organized by H. =. Whitney and
his trainer, a. ]. Joyner. Mr.. Whit
ney, with a total of $45295 was seventh
in the list of winning owners.
J. r. Keene has not been SO success
full, the stakes credited to him amount
ing to only $l9,025
Frank Wootton, an Australian, 1G
years old, heads the list of jockeys
with a total of more than 100 mounts,
his last being that on Admiral Togo II,
which finished first in the Manchester
November handicap today.
But if a true test of jockeyship is a
percentage of wins to mounts, Danny
Maher, the American jockey, still holds
the lead, he having enjoyed for the
last five years, his percentage being
27.33 to Wootton's 21.19.

w Z HAVE it on good authority
Nv that Joe Willis did not bring
W home a small fortune from his
previous meeting with Jack Geyer.
Tuesday night the san Francisco boy
hopes to get a somewhat larger remit
lance than formerly in case of victory.
Manager Caruthers says that there can
be but one result to the fight, and that
ii will not be Willis who will take the
count What Willis is really after,
however, is a battle with Jim Flynn,
and this has been promised him by
Secretary Hancock of the Athletic club,
pending his fight of Tuesday evening.
Willis one ambition in life at the pres
ent time is to do battle with the fight
ing fireman, and he believes he will, by
defeating Geyer, be entitled to the same
beyond the shadow of a doubt. A
Willis Flynn fight would draw another
championship house. and Tuesday even
ings battle will be watched with great
interest by every California fan. With
Trainer Smith and Manager Caruthers
behind him, Willis should be 1-2 shot
in the betting. Il am in fine shape"
said the san Franciscan yesterday
and will knock Geyer out before the
tenth round or will be greatly sur
prised."
Connie Mack has ffty-two players
signed up. out of this bunch he is eX-
pected to pick some youngsters that
will make good. That is a habit he has.
on the Detroit team there are no two
men who get along better together than
Ty cobb and George Moriarty. Yet two
years ago this pair were the greatest
enemies imaginable. All of which bears
out that we'll known story of happy
school days, which had for its title
something about circumstances make
in Hn ovid
During the recent series between the
Tigers and the Pirates Clark Griffith
became reminiscent regarding Mortar
ty whom he developed as third base
man for the New York team after buy
ing him from Toledo.
'Moriarty is as game a man as there
is in baseball today" remarked Grit
fifth, "and there isn't anything that he
won't do to assist his team to win
game. I recall a battle we had with
the Detroits some years ago. Cobb had
been troublesome for us the day before,
and promised to handicap us again that
day, so I sent Moriarty to play first
base in place of Chase in order to get
Cobbs goat if possible.
"'Just leave him to me- said George;
I'll land him all right so he'll forget
that he's playing baseball
Sure enough, the next time Cobb got
to first base he began chewing the rag
with Morarty so strong that he over
looked several opportunities to exhibit
Lis famous base-running speciality. AT
ter the inning was over, with Cobb still
chewing at Moriarty | asked George
how he had hypnotized the usually
alert Tyrus.
"'Oh, easily enough he replied. Il
told him he was swell-headed stiff
and several other things calculated to
get a rise out of him, and wound up by
tipping off to him that if he took that
I'd be inclined to think that he was
something much worse. This got him
going with a line of talk that was pep
perry to hear, but which I knew would
make him forget to run the bases and
it did"

Local Men Soon viii Meet Crack
Frisco Team-Much Interest
Shown in Games

While there have not been any really
good scores made this week by MEM
bers of the city Bowling league, the
records show a tendency to settle down
to a steady and average game, and not
roll one good game, and then slump
down to a poor one. By the manner in
which some of the boys are rolling,
everything points to some very high
individual averages being rolled. BY
the time the league closes the tourna-
ment there should be four or five men
who will be able to show records Of
which to be proud. and also show that
Los Angeles has boWlers able to COM
pete with cracks from the northern
part of this state.
To Play Northerners
A game will be arranged with some
Frisco team in the near future and
then watch out for the southerners.
The tournament has awakened latent
interest in the hearts of the old time
bowlers, and every day one or two old
timers show up down at the alleys, and
make themselves known. Roller and
Sam Dysinger were visitors the other
evening at the Spring street alleys, and

chance at Frank Conley, an aspiring

rounds. Mike sent in a hard one and

be a gentleman" Mike eased up till

a clinch, he crossed Linn on the point
of the jaw and dropped him for two
minutes. No, Lin doesn't include this
