the water main from town was frozen solid for nearly two hun dred yards from our fire hydrant. We were compelled to haul water from the river for the school, manse, hospital, and teachers homes. This was no small task andit kept teacher and three or four boys constantly busy for several days until the weather moderated a bit and we got an overland pipe laid from the water main where it was not frozen. The hospital and manse are still cut off from the watersystem by frozen pipes but the rest of the

HOW B. MURRAY LOST
OWNERS CONFIDENCE
Had Champions on Paper, But They Didn't Deliver
the GoOds-Dropped Him on General Prn-
ciples-Fans IN the Air.

Murray's direction by the Quaker
owners.
I'VE bring out this point as a matter
Of fact, and do not wish to infer that
we join with the Phinie owners in
branding Murray an incompetent leader.
Perhaps Murray got as good results
out of the team as any other man could
but that remains TO be seen.
Anyway, the owners were tired OF
seeing the team losing regularly and the
crowds falling of to nothing. 1t looked
like Murray had solved the problem
when he handed Richie, Brown, and
Shean over to Boston in exchange for
Bates and Starr.
This move put new life in the team
and it has been going better since. Still
there was the same lack of confidence
shown in Manager Murray by the stock
holders as before, and they went ahead
10 look for a successor"
Want Magee to Remain.
The Record doesn't like the deal be-
cause it has no great confidence in
Dcnlin as manager, and thinks a
whole lot Of Magee. II says:
when in addition tc Magee the Phil
lies are asked to throw IN one of theiI
best pitchers, il looks as though Nc
Graw was trying TO sell the local mag
mates a gold brick. Provided DOnlir
Is In shape, ard can repeat his WorI
OF last year, straight trade might
be all right; but when the Phiilfes are
asked to give up in addition a member
Of their pitching staff, and a valued one
at that the deal becomes one-sided and
much 70 the disadvantage OF the Ioca
team.
1T is the policy Of the owners tc
build up rather than tear down, but
any deal involving Magee would he Z
step backward and IL is not thought
possible that any one in authority
would sanction any trade that would
take Magee from Philadelphia Il may
! be that one will be arranged between
the two clubs, but It will have to IN.
clude some other man than Magee be
fore II will receive the approval of loca
